Paganism today is an attempt to revive the indigenous religions of Ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, and any of the other Germanic and Celtic countries. You may have heard this movement referenced in the media as “Neo-Paganism.” Altogether, these religions have a variety of different beliefs. The pagans that adhere to these traditons can be considered pantheists, polytheists, duotheists, and even animists. However, rarely will you find one who claims to be monotheist, especially in the sense that you are sure to find in the various Abrahamic religions of the world.

What you shall discover in this book is that there are numerous definitions of Paganism. Almost any definition given to it will be too narrow in its scope. Perhaps the easiest and truest definition of paganism can be described as a religion that is not Christian, Jewish, or Islamic. In fact, in this view, Paganism is a sort of alternative to monotheism. Other words also describe this position. Heathenism, or Heathen, is another word for Paganism and Pagan, respectively. Heathenry is a very typical term for Pagans who follow the Northern European Traditions.
