Where does the idea that a New From my experience, most
Neopagan contemporary thought
generally leads away from
support of most authoritarian
worldviews such as a New World
Order. How can Neopaganism be
aligned with the New World
Order conspiracy? Where does
occultism come into play?

Because some people lump together everything they don't agree with into their category of "evil conspiracy." LOL "The occult is evil according to my religion, so it must be harmful to me." "Neopagans don't believe in my god! They must want to destroy people like me!" Sad thing is, if you look at the historical record, most of the ones who feel the need to dominate and extinguish opposing religious viewpoints are monotheists, most often Christians. Pagans don't seek converts, proselytize, and we're not trying to "steal the souls" of their kids. LOL We can accept peaceful coexistence, because most of us do not feel there is only one right way to be spiritual, and many of us believe in multiple deities. Seems to me that it's only those who feel only their own way can be the right way who present more of a danger to others. |

What is your definition of I'm doing a research project
and found out that there are
about seven definitions of
Paganism and Neopaganism and
they aren't even correct.
Apparently there isn't a clear
definition for Paganism and
Neopaganism. I'm interested in
what others think.

Were I defining the two I would consider that Paganism would be all of the old religions that were not Judeo-Christian, since the term pagan usually meant non Christian or Jewish until recently. That would inculude not only Mithrism but Buddhism. The term Neo-Pagan means, to me, a movement of modern persons to review and accept some of the old religions or beliefs such as Wicca. |
