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.

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...
