Blurb:

Contemporary Pagan religions have emerged as a new form of religiosity since the 1960s. They strongly emphasise personal experience and incorporate a diverse mix of traditional and modern elements. Pagans value nature, ritual, myth and creativity, often aligning with feminist and LGBTQI+ perspectives. Many see it as a continuation of ancestral religions with an emphasis on continuity and reconstruction.
