How Well Do You Know Strange Pagan Rituals ?

Modern knowledge of old pagan religions comes from several sources, including: anthropological field research records, the evidence of archaeological artifacts, and the historical accounts of ancient writers regarding cultures known before the rise of monotheistic religions,  when most people practiced some type of polytheism.

So  before the rise of Christianity we were all pagans.








The Wickerman







A Wicker man was a large wicker statue purportedly used by the Ancient Druids


Archaeological evidence from the British Isles seems to indicate that human sacrifice may have been practiced, over times long pre-dating any contact with Rome. Human remains have been found at the foundations of structures from the Neolithic time to the Roman era, with injuries and in positions that argue for their being foundation sacrifices. 

Animal spirit dance


Some Pagans dress as animals during the Animal Spirit Dance. It is a ritual where people go into trance and give over their bodies to the spirit of their animal spirit guides. It can be quite intense. The object is to allow the animals spirit to inhabit you so that you will be able to see with its eyes, hear with its ears, feel with its skin, taste, smell and experience the power of the animal. 


Black Cats



The black cat in folklore has been able to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons.  The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture.  They can often be considered good luck to have around.  


Witches

Burning Stuff To Feel Good


watch  this video ^


No one was burnt alive  that day.  The temple was set up here in the city and then moved to a farm for the burning.   Are we reverting back to Paganism ? 


Horror Masks


Scary Pagan Masks in Slavic folklore –Masks are used   mostly during Fašiangy or Turíce feast days; then also during the Winter solstice (Kračún, Koleda) – now under the term Christmas; and a mask can be also found during the Burning of Morena feast (these feasts are of an old Slavic pagan origin)  Their original meaning is to protect people and their property against the evil


This is how they welcome  new visitors some place in Europe.  The visitors don't  like to stay very  long  for some reason...



Are you concerned about

Celtic Cross




An  Irish Celtic Cross is an example of blending Paganism with Christianity


Not sure about putting a beehive on  my head,
or burning stuff to feel good.






Stonehenge





It  is thought Stonehenge could have  been used for Pagan rituals



Wizards


The Wizards were  just people that knew  how to do things , or were  they ?




We have a Wizard here in  Christchurch New Zealand














Antlers



What is with Pagan Antlers ?

Put simply  Pagans like to hunt ,   kill ,  and eat meat.




The Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree has a Pagan  origin .  When  I get around to  it I  will find  out a bit  more.
