Pagan and Wiccan based traditions pervade all aspects of daily living. Since Nature is a manifestation of divinity, there are elemental deities, as well as, the gods and goddesses. Divination, magic, and healing are integral to the successful navigation of the waters of spiritual transformation of the self. The roots of Paganism burrow deep into ancestral memories of Elder Ages when it was natural to venerate Nature; to celebrate the passage of the seasons; to honor the goddess and god in their many aspects and guises; and to proactively seek personal spiritual growth. Global in its antiquity, Paganism was historically significant because of its expression rather than suppression of the feminine aspect of divinity in conjunction with the male aspect, hand in hand in empowered partnership, journeying together through life; and, in its respect for the wisdom of women as healers and teachers. Paganism is a spiritual path that honors: the Old Ways of the Triple Goddess and her consort the Triple God who have many names and visages that vary from culture to culture; the blessings of Gaia, the Earth Mother; the Moon Mysteries; and the transcendent wonder of the human body as a reflective vessel of immanent divinity.
Pagans and Wiccans are most
notable for their tolerance of other paths; their emphasis on the importance of
also honoring the goddess, the feminine aspect of divinity; and their focus on
the personal connection to immanent divinity through natural magic.
Derived from the Latin word for country dweller, Paganus, Paganism is an ancient pre-Christian, polytheistic religion which also includes the neo-Pagan offshoots of modern Witchcraft and Wicca. Wiccan is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word, Wicce which is pronounced Witche which means practitioner of the Old Religion or the Craft. Pagans have revered many goddesses and gods over the ages.
