What Happens At A Pagan Ceremony? 

Lmao Paganism and Wicca are not the same

As a pagan I can safely say that this is not what it is like

I'm not a Wiccan, I'm a norse pagan, but I wouldn't want to be doing rituals in a church, we go outside in nature.

As someone slowly discovering paganism and preferring it over other belief systems, I think this is just for the cameras, it's a bit too dramatic,

No stranger than some more mainstream religious rituals I've seen. Though I must say they do seem to have a fondness for the dramatic. I can't say that ritual is pointless since it seems to fulfill some mutual need, spiritual, emotional, or both. And since they aren't harming anybody there is no basis to judge.

I am wiccan and never did this crap. This is for the camera. Thats not what happens at lease not that dramatic. Lol this makes us look like a bunch of dancing idiots.

Paganism is my passion

harmless weirdo's. let them be. at least they are dedicating their lives to some form of self betterment. They neither bother nor hurt no one and I have never seen these groups ever persecute or push their beliefs on any one else.

The Babylonians named the days after the five planetary bodies known to them (Tuesday through Saturday) and after the Sun and Moon (Sunday and Monday). This custom was later adopted by the Romans. Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar in 321 and designated Sunday and Monday as the first two days of the week. The other weekday names in English are derived from Anglo-Saxon names for gods in Teutonic mythology. Tuesday comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Tyr was one of the sons of Odin, or Woden, the supreme deity after whom Wednesday is named. Similarly, Thursday originates from Thor, the god of thunder. Friday is derived from Frigga, the wife of Odin, representing love and beauty. Saturday comes from Saturn, the ancient Roman god of fun and feasting. Keep in mind Sunday was also named after the Sun God Ra

while I recognize similar rituals to a degree, it seems more like LARPing rather than a truly anthropological religious theatre that more mainstream religions practice. There seems no depth to it --either intellectually or socially--other than perhaps play. As play it might fulfill a psychological need I suppose.

Red dead redemption 2 brought me here

Not my thing but as my Nan used to say in a Cockney accent “It take all sorts to make a world darling”

this nothyng too do with Paganis

I'm a Wiccan priest and this is over the top (just for the cameras).

So this is what a D&D convention looks like

Who else is here for the wine and cake?

they have cake.

As a pagan I find this utterly hilarious. This is not what they are like. These people are…taking it way to seriously

Ok this is a bit over the top. They did most of this for the cameras or were asked to give a few examples of different rituals/celebrations/dances they may do - but not necessarily all at the same time. That's why a lot of them were laughing at points.

POV: discord mods find something to do together

I worship Odin and the Aesir privately. One of my eye roll moments is the larping aspect of these people. We live in modern times. We don’t have to leap. But, I respect their practice, to each their own.

The true essence of it cannot be photographed. The alchemist's gold lies deep within and only the seeker can know.

Honestly as somebody who was raised in a pagan house hold I’m gonna say that this is Ofer dramatic camera action that is just feeding the crazy person stereotypes

I really like how they blessed with the pentagram.

Paganism is not religion. In shortly, it is believe in natural circles and in Natural, in general. There is no scripts, no hierarchy.

Ok but the camera people recoding in their faces and standing in the circle.....

Nothing to do with any authentic or perennial pagan tradition. This is just women who never grew up playing witches.

Much much better than Abrahamic religions. Abrahamic religions brought Violence on the Planet.

Catholic Church combined Paganism in with the Christian religion. Lots of people don’t know that. Constantine is the one that done that.

Different strokes for different folks. Js

Brillant. Happy Beltane everyone one. I have been to many rituals myself.

Beautifull Blessings

This Is Fake Im A Pagan Myself And We Don't Do This Its So Cringey

This looks like an audition tape gone wrong

cringe

I just hope Wicca leads to more interesting stories, the Christian ones are either boring or horrific with few diamonds in the rough.

0:45 the captions got me singing to the hex girls from scooby doo

I grew up witnessing my mother's side of the family practice paganism. It is nothing like this. They don't do theatrics such as this. They offer animals or coins/gold/silver to nature but my uncle whispers when he speaks to other beings or nature.

Wicca is a "feminist" parody of our ancestors' ancient faith.

Silly wiccans. Good thing we don't live by the book, but sometimes it gets ridiculous.

This is not paganism.

Wiccans are a very modern and typically American form of paganism. No European identifies with any hippy wiccan paganism and Here in Europe we don't do all this crap. No hippy come one come all crap either. Honour our ancestors, our history and culture, honour the gods and honour to our family.

There's no after party?

Depends on what culture the ceremony is being performed in 🤷🏻‍♂️ The term Pagan, covers multiple beliefs and Gods. A Celtic pagan ceremony, isn’t going to be the same as a Heathen ceremony.

I have never met any Pagan/ wicca yet in my life

Reminds me of Harry Potter though.

Every time I go to one of these I wind up eating an ounce of shrooms, then find myself peaking out of control, robbing a 711 completely nude imagining I'm a bear.

I am proud to be pagan !!!

Dang! They really need some singing exercise, such as for example in a protestant church choir!

So evil not we actually seem more peaceful than most belief system

By the holy precious name and blood of Jesus Christ, all evil spirits be gone right now! Glory to the Trinity God of heaven and earth! Hallelujah! Amen! ✝️☝️🙏🛐🕎🙏🛐

This must be the Episcopalian version of paganism. lol!

These people really need to be educated in radical traditionalism. This is just new-age nonsense, and has very little to do with actual pagan tradition aside from some of the externalities. This ‘paganism’ has more to do with a rejection of Abrahamic spirituality than it does true paganism

This is what Progressive Socialism looks like after hours.

Harry potter's missing?!?!

there actually has been some debate if wicca is indeed pagan or just an offshoot of judaism

Neopagan, not really pagan.

This looks like the worship of nature to me.

That Awesome Pagan Wicca European Native European Religion 🇺🇸💪🏻🤘🏻👮🏻‍♂️👨🏻‍🎓⚔

Believe me, I have seen way much wierd pagan rituals !!!

Is it just me but If I were to do this I would want to speak ancient English or proto Germanic modern English just makes it sound cheesy idk

NOT THE BEES!

News flash. Just about all Christian holidays fall in the time line of and are based on Pagan holidays. Yule = Dec 21 & celebration of the sun. Christmas = Dec 25 & celebration of “the son”… 🤔

*sully Erna has entered the chat*

Reminds me of Discworld.

Always learning

Christianity & Islam is shaking

I knew JESUS wasn't real

I think your fire worship is cute :3

reminder tho that there are hundereds of other pagan religions beleifs and ceremonies holidays etc and this is far from the only one

Lmaoooooo poor people

🖤

It looks like a child's play 😂😭

Wtf did I come across when it comes to religion?

looks pretty lame ngl

This is not a Pagan ceremony! This is an offensive mockery that is extremely inaccurate.

Awesome

We come to end darling,, We come to end,, MUHAMMED SOLOMON MAHDI

Wicca team task force

Pretty sure this looks like Satanism, but a lot more boring

CHRIST IS KING, CHIRST IS KING, CHRIST IS KING AND SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. REPENT FROM FROM ALL YOUR FALSE GODS, RECEIVE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

It sounds ridiculous in modern English...should use ancient language

This is wicca ynknow

Witches in disguise

Creepy

Ba Ba Black Sheep

Hahaha what a clowns

This is Wiccan not paganism

JESUS IS KING

Wiccans needs to study the days of the week also because each day of the week was named after an ancient pagan God

Those people are just insane.Period.

This is darkness.

This is Wiccan not pagan

These are all actors, these kind of religions have disappeared since ages

I don’t know what’s more cringe. Christians believing there’s a man in the sky or pagans thinking they’re witches.
