Sunday, 1 July 2012The origins of neopaganism and Prof. Ronald Hutton
Neopaganism is a modern movement that is inspired by and/or seeks to reconstruct the ancient pagan religions of Europe and other parts of the world.

Many modern pagans are reconstructionists - people who are consciously engaged in reviving pagan traditions (from ancient Greece and Rome, the Germanic countries, the Celtic countries or elsewhere) without making any claim that their religion is a direct lineal survival from past times. Many others don't much care about the historical origins of their faith, viewing the origin-stories of Wicca and other traditions as myths and metaphors rather than literal truth.
