Pagan Paths

Below is a list of well known and organised Pagan paths or religions, although as I have said in What is Paganism?, many pagans do not follow one strict path.

 

Asatru:

Norse Pagan religion celebrating the principles of courage, truth, honor, fidelity, discipline, hospitality, industriousness, self-reliance, and perseverance.
 

Druidism:

Many varieties of Druidism are practiced, with varying emphasis on scholarly research into the original Druids, who were the priest/ess and judicial class of the ancient Celts.
 

Egyptian:

Draws on the four thousand years of complex spiritual and magical systems of pharaonic Egypt.
 

Kabbalah:

Jewish mystical and magical system developed since the Middle Ages. The most influential magical system in the development of the Western magical tradition.
 

Shamanism:

Practiced by Native peoples worldwide. Shamanic techniques such as drumming are used in many different Pagan systems. In traditional societies, shamans travel to the spirit realm to gain information pertaining to the community's needs, such as healing or spiritual growth.
 

Witchcraft:

Also known as Wicca or simply the Craft. Honoring of Goddess and God (some traditions honor the Goddess alone), use of magic, and healing, all within the context of "If it harm none, do what you will." Pagan Witchcraft has nothing to do with and is antithetical to Satanism.
