Our Diversity
NEOPAGANS |
Neopagans hold the Earth sacred. The largest groups of Neopagans are Wiccans (Witches),
Druids, Celtic reconstructionists, and Astruar or Vanir (Heathens). These are earth religions, re-linking us ( re-ligio) with the forces of life and nature, both on this planet and in the stars. Neopagan women and men usually meet in small intimate groups in city apartments, suburban gardens, and rural areas. They may also meet in large gatherings or festivals, some representing one particular group or tradition, or others in which many different traditions meet. Many Neopagans are active in more than one tradition. Meeting times are lunar dates, (such as new and full moons) and solar dates (solstices, equinoxes, and “Cross-Quarter days solar festivals set roughly between each solstice and equinox). At these times, psychic and physical energies are raised for healing, celebration, and to put practitioners in tune with natural and spiritual forces. Neopagans honor the old Goddesses and Gods, depending in the practices of their traditions, including, but not limited to, the pantheons of the ancient Norse, Celts, and Greco-Romans, or the Triple Goddess of the waxing, full, and waning moon, and the Horned God of the sun, plant and animal life, as manifestations of immanent nature.
