Some work from the historical record and say so; others are openly modern creations. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard category in the study of new religions. Pagan here is a self-designation the movements adopted for themselves, not the ancient usage, in which it was a word for other people. 3DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligions 1Learn MoreModern Pagan religions This group holds modern Pagan religions: contemporary movements, mostly of the twentieth century onward, that revive, reconstruct or reimagine pre-Christian and nature-centred spirituality. They are new religious movements, though many draw sincerely on older imagery and lore. The browser will find traditions such as Wicca and the broader contemporary Pagan and nature-religion movements. The atlas presents these as modern religions, marking clearly where a practice is a recent creation and where it claims older roots.20th centuryFilter Results4 entriesPlace of OriginAllEngland (2)United States (1)DenominationsAllAlexandrian Wicca (1)Dianic Wicca (1)Eclectic Solitary Wicca (1)Feri Tradition (1)Gardnerian Wicca (1)Reclaiming (1)Seax-Wica (1)Parent TraditionAllModern Paganism (1)ScripturesAllThe Spiral Dance (1)Conception of the DivineAllAnimist: persons and powers in land, water and living things (1)Duotheistic: a divine pair (3)Polytheistic: many gods (2)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (2)Closed Practice StatusAllPartly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCustomary Norm (1)Kind of TraditionAllModern Pagan (4)BrowseCompareSelect all 4Goddess Movement20th centuryModern Paganism20th centuryStregheria20th centuryWicca20th centurySources1.
