DOI: 10.1558/equinox.45512

Blurb:

This chapter explores how Pagans use the Internet for self-presentation, online rituals and member engagement. Pagans have been interested in the Internet since its early days, which coincided with the emergence of many Pagan movements. The lack of religious buildings for rituals made it easy for Pagans to transition to online platforms. However, challenges exist, such as establishing authenticity in a movement focused on restoring older traditions.
