Modern Paganism , also known as Contemporary Paganism and Neopaganism

Paganism as a broad array of different religions rather than a singular religion in itself.

The category of modern Paganism could be compared to the categories of Abrahamic religion and Dharmic religion in its structure.

Contemporary Paganism has been defined as "a collection of modern religious, spiritual, and magical traditions that are self-consciously inspired by the pre-Judaic, pre-Christian, and pre-Islamic belief systems of Europe, North Africa, and the Near East."

Ethnicity and region

Other Pagan groups allow individuals of any ethnicity to join them, expressing the view that the gods and goddesses of a particular region can call anyone to their worship.

They often restrict membership to those who are of the same ethnic group as themselves.

Beliefs

Polytheism

One principle of the Pagan movement is polytheism, the belief in and veneration of multiple gods and/or goddesses.

Animism

Ritual
