In our time, the major religions controlling much of our world for over 2000 years seem increasingly worn out and dangerous. Some cultures increasingly recognize these religions as tools of opression. Many are looking for relief from less destructive spiritual practices of other cultures and other times. Of particularly interest are the practices of our own cultures from pre-Christian times. This page is devoted to exploring such possibilities.
We have a couple of articles on Neo-Paganism, but hope to have
contributed articles on other non-destructive, ecologically aware
spiritualities that have evolved significantly in the 20th and 21st
centuries.

A Pagan Reality - In Our Time:This page presents religions and philosophies derived from those of
the pre-Christian past of Europe. Some are careful reconstructions
of past practices of particular people, that can become part of their
national identity. Others are derived from rather loose and imaginative
interpretations of the folk ways of the past.
Jesus & PaganismIn this day, especially with the Evangelical Churchs having discarded the teachings of Jesus to become religions of hate, many are leaving Christianity. Many wish to take Jesus with them. Paganism is broad, and this is certainly possible. This article explores
issues with Christo-Paganism, and we hope it will be helpful in the transition.
It should also be helpful for Christians interested in the relationship of
Christianity to Paganism.
Paganism, a Presentation:This page presents an overview of Paganism, composed for presentation
to the congrigation of a Unitarian Universal Church that does not currently
host a chapter of the Covenent of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS).
