History of the ancient religion.....

Witches, Druids, Magicians, Magick.... sounds like words from ancient history or some primitive culture ??
Well these terms have no bearing on our new era... they might luk like completly anonymous terms to the new generation....

Paganism, what it is nd what it implies... Thru this blog, what i intend is to give a brief intro abt Paganism... .

Paganism , a world wide faith, is a vibrant and diverse spiritual community grounded on the respect of ancient pagan religion, reverence for nature, worshipping many god nd godess...

In simple words, the Pagans celebrate with the nature... the various natural forces as their deity...
they celebrate the seasons as their festivals.....
Pagans practice magick as an art of their religion.
Magick nd not the ordinary Magic tht u see every day. Even though they differ only by one letter in spelling, the actual meaning of these two words carry a gigantic difference (which will be explained some other time )

The word "Pagan" owes its origin to the Latin word for civilian. Those who belong to this religion lived outside the city at ancient times. When the Romans and the inhibitants of the Major cities in Europe started getting converted to Christinaity, Pagans and those who practices Wicca (practitioners of Magick) were termend Non-Christians.

Year 1100 marked a semicolon in the pagan religion and practices. Nobody preacticed the art of Wicca in public. At those times mass murders of the Pagan cult members were done by the kings men.

In the 1700's a certain book called Malleus Maleficarum was produced by two dominician monks, and under the laws of this book, the pagans, wiccans, nd witches were executed.
Later on in the 1950's this book and its laws were abolished.

And finally in 1985, Wicca became a legalized religion in the US & UK.

So goes the history of Paganism and Wicca...
