Polytheism

There are many pagan religion traditions that include polytheism. They can report on experiences with gods or other spiritual practices, which may be difficult to interpret for modern secularists. It is essential to respect individual beliefs and practices while fostering mutual respect among polytheists. Regardless of a particular religious background, polytheists share several characteristics in common.


Panentheism

Many philosophers missunderstand panentheism. However, it is a viable alternative to classical Theism. Panentheism as a belief system believes that all things are ultimately one. Everything partakes of God's nature.

Animism

Animism, a religion that believes the physical and unseen worlds are one, is based on the belief that they are both one. The belief that the dead are capable of reincarnating into new lives on Earth or transferring to higher spiritual levels is a part of Animism. Inanimism also believes there are ancestral spirits who haunt people who have already died. Animistic people often worship animals and consider them sacred.

Koine Greek

Koine Greek was an ancient language that was linked to the polytheistic religion of Ancient Greece. This language was not recognized as a native language of the West. The Hellenes, a Greek-speaking Eastern Empire people, were known as pagans. Although the word was no longer used in its original cultural meaning by the fourth century, it retained some significance in the early centuries and years of Christianity. The modern equivalent of heathenry is Neopaganism in the Germanic and Other Languages. A Heathen is a person who self-identifies as a Heathen.
