Pagan Defined

Facebook | The Crystal Web:

"The word 'pagan' comes from Latin and means 'peasant religion'. It comes from a time when Christianity was an urban phenomenon in the Roman Empire, and the people living in the country were retaining older belief systems. I find most people think the word 'pagan' is synonymous with 'polytheistic', but this is a misconception. Perhaps paganism can ... See Morebe most usefully defined as a religion that evolved naturally from a population's interaction with its environment, as opposed to those religions which are established by a prophet or leader."

I love this definition! Thx Vanessa Cardui
