A Brief History of Paganism

Paganism – What is It?
Paganism has been broadly defined as anyone involved in any religious act, practice, or ceremony which is not Christian. Jews and Muslims also use the term to refer to anyone outside their religion. Others define it as religions outside of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while some simply define it as being without a religion.

In the strictest sense, paganism refers to the authentic religions of ancient Greece and Rome as well as surrounding areas. It originated from the Neolithic (Stone Age) era. The term, pagan, is derived from the Latin word, paganus, which means a country dweller. The pagan usually has a belief in many gods (polytheistic), but only one is chosen as the one to worship which represents the chief god and supreme godhead.

As Christianity progressed into the present age, a pagan became referred to anyone not being a Christian, and paganism denoted a non-Christian belief or religion. If the religion did not fit into the Judeo-Christian-Islamic or Eastern mould, then one practicing that religion was said to be involved in paganism.

Paganism – What is the history?
History records that worship of many gods, goddesses, and deities was viewed by people as important in worship. It was thought that everything had a spirit and was polytheistic, so people had gods and goddesses of the forest, sea, and all aspects of nature.

When the civilizations began to change and develop, the gods grew and changed with the people as they began to acquire gods of their occupations, or gods relevant to their village life. The old gods remained, but were changed or conformed to the changing lives of the people. Gods played an important role in every aspect of society influencing everything from laws and customs to general workings of the community. Reincarnation (rebirth of the body into another bodily form) was believed by the people, but they did not believe in the existence of heaven and hell.

Today, Paganism (neo-paganism) celebrates the Earth, living creatures, nature, and so on. Most modern-day pagans believe in more than one god, while others are atheistic.

Paganism – What are some pagan systems and religions?

* American pagans practice a variety of forms of traditions, but the most popular are Celtic, Greco-Roman, Native American, ancient Egyptian, and Norse.
* Kabbalah: During the Middle Ages, this Jewish mystical and magical system developed.
* Shamanism: This tradition is practiced by the Native American cultures. Drumming is the technique used, and in traditional societies, the shaman travels to the spirit realm to gain information regarding the community’s needs like healing or spiritual growth.
* Egyptian: This is very popular today, and involves complex spiritual and magical systems centering on death and rebirth. It developed in ancient Egypt when priestesses and priests became known for their level of knowledge and skill in magical arts.
* Druidism: The original Druids were priestesses and part of the judicial class of the ancient Celts.
* Discordianism: This began as a Buddhist practice with the main idea being “existence is orderly chaos.” Meditative procedures, confusion and enlightenment, chaos and order, pain and pleasure are revealed as inseparable parts of a total vision of reality.

Paganism – How does it compare with Christianity?
It is difficult to compare paganism with Christianity since the term pagan can be used to identify many different sects and beliefs.

These are the major differences, out of many:

* Biblical Christianity professes one God, where paganism often teaches many or no god.

* Biblical Christianity teaches that the Bible contains God’s words and message to mankind. It is infallible and inerrant. Paganism does not have one main religious text or set of beliefs to follow.

* Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus, God’s Son, came to earth as a baby, died on the cross as an adult for the sin of the whole world, and rose to life again. Some pagans believe in Jesus as one of the gods, but do not put significance in Him as Christians do.

Due to these differences and many more, a person cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ (a Christian) and a pagan at the same time.

“Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another” (Romans 1:22-24).

I will elaborate on this subject for you El after I have made a few more posts. Will not pay to make conflict right away. You will find though that most symbols used in Christianity are actual Pagan symbols

lol

You may find I know a little more than you think and that there are more Pagans on here than you first imagine...

Most Christian Rituals, festivals and symbols were taken from the Pagans. Pagan basically means 'Country dweller' It wasn't particularly a religion as such, more a way of life. The early Pagans were quite backwards and had some awful human sacrifice rituals. Many were healers (often called witches) they used all the elements Mother Nature provided to heal the sick. Todays Pagans mostly follow some sort of Nature based path.

The similarities between Christian symbology and Pagan symbology were historically also very deliberate.

The books of the Bible as we know it were collated at the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. At the time Rome was a Pagan civilisation which worshipped multiple deities.

To assist the conversion to Christianity by these Pagans what the Emperor did was ensure certain specific important dates in the Bible closely matched important dates in the Pagan calender. Christmas is just one example of this. It was thought by the Emperor that conversion would be easier and more acceptable for people if many of the fundametal aspects of each form of religion closely matched.

But this wasn't enough. To further encourage conversion the Emperor went one step further. He took very specific Pagan imagery and used it as a base for very important characters in the Bible that represented evil. He wanted converted Christians to hate and consider evil non-converted Pagans in order to crush entirely their form of worship. Rome did not tolerate any form of non-conformist behaviour and religion was no different. It's no coincidence that even to this day many people still ignorantly associate Paganism with Satanical Worship.

Don't take my word for it completely though as there is visual evidence. Look at the two images below. One is the classic image of Pan, the Pagan god of nature and the other is Satan, representing evil in Christianity.

Can you tell them apart? The only real difference I can see is that one holds a musical instrument whilst the other a weapon.

Those images are I think both relating to Pan aren't they El?

Nope but I agree the similarities are striking. Pan is never depicted carrying a weapon but other than that there isn't much real difference. It's clear where the inspiration for the second image stems from and you have to wonder why Pan is being misrepresented in such a way.

The second image is of Krampus who (according to myth) is an earthbound devil who snatches naughty little kids at Christmas lol

mess with the gods at your folly.......ha ha ha what is belief ? it is believing a higher being than us exists. we have chosen our own ways of interpreting this. i think beyond all the bollox there has to be a semblance of truth.i dont think for a minute i am from this planet.i believe god lives in me without doubt.i believe in spirit i reject religion because it does not apply to me.i have looked at religions and have risen above.maybe i'm wrong but i trust my feelings and am content.i dont care if its egyptian,greek or indian gods, they all give you clues. its finding the meaning of it all. look inside.politics uses religion to make people kill each other.....mans decision not gods.they gave us free will....were a bit stupid as far as im concerned.....long live god.

Yes the resemblance is striking El, especially if you look at the depictions of Pan that are in a gallery in South Florida (i forget the name of the gallery now, but will get back to you on it)

Chelz I do believe that God exists but is within you, as you stated. Now Jesus that is a whole different matter. I do believe a person called Jesus was alive and around the middle east at the time documented, but as the Son of God? nah I doubt that very much

Great post Chelz, I agree with everything you say.

NS, I believe Jesus did exist, I belive he was a great healer, but not the son of God. I don't believe that Jesus was crucified and rose three days later. He is said to have married, had many children and is buried in India. That all fits in more with my ideas on religion.

I also believe we come from an Alien race, we all know they existed and traveled to earth many thousands of years ago. I have never believed we evolved from Primates. I think most of us have a 'knowing' and if we listen to it, the answers are there us.

Must run, see you later x

This is an amazing interview with Boriska, he has memories of another life on Mars. It's too long to post the whole interview so I will post the link so you can read from the site. I hope you enjoy.

Boriska – the Person from Mars
A meeting in an anomalous zone

The first time I heard about the unusual boy named Boriska was from the stories of the participants of an expedition to an anomalous zone in the north of the Volgograd province, known in our country as the "Medveditskaya Ridge".

"Imagine, when everyone was sitting around the bonfire in the evening, this little boy, about seven years old, suddenly and loudly demanded silence: he was going to tell us about the inhabitants of Mars and about their trips to Earth," one of the witnesses shared his impressions. "Well, someone was still chatting in a low voice, and then the boy strictly demanded our full attention, or else "there would be no story".

And so the other conversations died off. And this is why – the round faced child with the big eyes, in a summer T-shirt and a cool baseball cap, completely unafraid of the adults, began an unbelievable story. About the Martian civilization, about megalith-cities and Martian space ships, about flights to other planets, and about the country of Lemuria on Earth, about the life of which he knew personally, having at some point flown here from Mars to this huge continent in the middle of the ocean and had friends there…

The bonfire continued to crackle, the darkness of night gathered around the people seated there, and the endless starry sky above us was silent, as if it was keeping some sort of great secret. An hour and a half went by in surprising stories. One of the listeners guessed and ran to get a dictophone, and so somewhere in Moscow there is a recording of this story. However, if it will ever be published, only God knows; not everyone has a journalist's skills.

Many were shocked at two things. First, the unusual knowledge that a seven year old should not have had – not even every history professor could clearly talk about the legendary Lemuria and the Lemurians. You wouldn't find anyone in a school or college with these memories. Science has not yet proven the existence of other civilizations, and, it would seem, is not in any hurry to prove this, being closer to the idea of the uniqueness of man in the universe. And, secondly, the speech of Boriska… It was not at the level of a child in the first grade: he used such terminology, such details and facts from the pasts of Mars and the Earth, that everyone was impressed. Only from the emotional outbursts could you tell this proper and sensible speech was from a child.

"Why did Boriska talk like this?" wondered my interlocutor. "Apparently, he was provoked by his surroundings at the expedition camp. Here were gathered interested people, with open minds, pursuing the solutions of the many secrets of Earth and the cosmos, and Boris, listening to the day of conversations, expostulated in his speech that which had long been in his memory.

"Could he have made it all up? Watched all the 'Star Wars' movies and started to make up stories?"

"It seems not… This did not sound like a fantasy," argued my colleague, "More like it was the memory of the past, memories from his past reincarnations. These sorts of details can't be imagined, they must be personally known…"

The words about the memories of past reincarnations decided everything: I understood that I had to meet Boriska. Now, after my meeting with him and his parents, I am trying to put everything together in order to understand the mystery of the birth of this young being.
It's curious that he appeared in the world in the city of Volzhk, in a provincial childbirth hospital - although on his birth certificate, in the section for place of birth, it says Zhirnovsk, Volgograd Province instead in the place of registration. His birthday is January 11, 1996 at 8:30 AM. That may say something to an astrologer.

His parents are good and kind people. Nadezhda Kipryanovich, Boris' mother, is a dermatologist in a city clinic, and graduated from the Volgograd Medical Institute not long before this, in 1991. His father, Yuri Tovstenev, is a retired officer, in his time graduated from the Kamishinsky Higher Military Institute, and now works as a construction supervisor. They themselves would be happy if someone would help them solve the mysterious phenomenon of their son, but for now they watch their miracle with curiosity.

"When Boriska was born, I noticed that at 15 days old he already held his head up," recalls Nadezhda. "His first word, "Baba" (grandmother), he said at four months old and from then on, you could say that he started to talk. He made his first sentence at 7 months, with the words, "I want a nail" - he saw a nail in the wall, although generally children start speaking much later. The most remarkable of his intellectual abilities were beyond the physical."

"And how did it manifest itself?"

"When Boris was a year old, I started giving him letters following the Nikitin system, and, if you can imagine, at a year and a half he could already read heavy newspaper type. He learned to recognize colors in a variety of hues early and easily. At two years old he began drawing, and at two and a half he could paint. He could draw in different hues.

Boris went to day care after he turned two. All of the caregivers said that he was very gifted with languages, and had unusual brain development. They noticed that he had a phenomenal memory. However, his parents noticed that the way their son gathered knowledge was not only through observing his surroundings, but, it would seem, from other sources: he picked up information somehow from nowhere!

"No one taught him," remembers Nadezhda, "but he somehow got into the habit of sitting in the lotus position, and just listen to him! He cast such pearls and details about Mars, about the planetary systems and other civilizations, that it amazed us… But how could the child know all of this?... Space, and the cosmic subjects in his stories – these were the constant topics from when he was two.

At the same time Boriska announced that he use to live on Mars, and that the planet was habitable, but that it survived the worst catastrophe in its history, the loss of its atmosphere, and now a few remaining inhabitants live in underground cities. At that time he often flew to the Earth on trade and scientific research missions. It would seem that he himself was a pilot of a space vessel. This was at the time of the Lemurian civilization, and he had a Lemurian friend, who died before his eyes…

"A huge catastrophe happened on Earth, where mountains exploded and a huge continent broke apart and sunk under the water, and all of a sudden a huge stone fell on the building where my friend was," reported Boriska. "I couldn't save him. And now on Earth we should meet again…"

Boriska sees the whole picture of the destruction of Lemuria as if it just happened, and suffers about the death of an earthling, as if he himself was guilty of causing it.

Once he saw a book which his mother brought, "From Whom Do We Come?" by Ernst Muldashev. You needed to see the effect this had on the little boy. He looked at the drawings of Lemurians, the photographs of the Tibetan pagodas and two hours later could talk in detail about the Lemurian race and at a high level about their discoveries…

"But Lemuria was destroyed at least 800,000 years ago," I said carefully, "and the Lemurians were more than nine meters tall – and yet somehow you remember all of this?"

"Yes, I remember," replied Boris, and added, "certainly no one told me about it…"

Another time he began to remember a lot after seeing the illustrations in a second book by Muldashev, "In Search of the City of Gods." About burial chambers and the pyramids. He said that they would find knowledge not under the pyramid of Cheops but under a different one. But they have not found it yet. "Life will change when they open the Sphinx," he said, and added that the Sphinx will open somewhere behind the ear, but he can't remember exactly where. He talks engagingly, when the inspiration comes, about the Mayan civilization, feeling that people do not know very much about that fascinating people.

This is an amazing video, I am totally convinced that we originate from an Alien species.


El, I think you will find this really interesting, there is a lot of info on Atlantis.

The resurrection story is one that has been contributed to a great many over the centuries. I personally think that the birth of jesus is astrological references, and the "died on the cross, stayed there for 3 days and then rose again" just so happens to be exactly what the sun does on the 22nd of december.
After travelling south it is at it's lowest point on the 22nd of Dec, it stays at that point before starting to travel north 3 days later. It just so happens that it does this on the southern croix

Problem with that theory is that the crucifixion happened (supposedly) at Easter not at Xmas?

Only if you believe God to be an omnipotent and omniscient force...

The term God I think can often be misleading. It means different things to different people. If God is the spark of energy that powers every living thing then it is quite reasonable to say God exists within us all.

Northern should have asked: 'Does God exist?' and not fall into Zarathustrian paradoxes like 'God is dead'.

loved the video angel ...very interesting....shine i totally agree with you that god lives within you ...it is searching through what religion tells us that you can find the truth...i believe there is only one god...i believe messengers have been sent to teach the word...i am glad i was brought up christian...it has taught me values in life and shown me how you should behave towards other people...its called the ten commandments...and if everyone followed them life would be sweet...the same is taught in islam and judaism as well...the problem is the corruption of the teachings for mans own ambitions.god dosent tell us to go kill other human beings because their ideas are different...god gave us free will to decide for ourselves.i totally believe god was an alien...what else could he be? i believe i was made in his image...i believe that there are a lot of people on this planet that know...when i looked at some of the insciptions on artifacts on angels video i almost felt that i knew the language but id forgotten...it was just beyond my reach...i have known since i was born that i will be here for the reckoning...insanity...or knowing...we can only wait and see.

Good post, Chels, but let's assume God exists, do we have a soul to welcome his existence?

Lovely post Chelz, I think its a 'knowing' we have, same as you I have always believed we are decedents from Sumerians, Plaeiadians., maybe even the Atlanteans. I think they have always been around earth, but more so now. They aren't here to save us, they are here to help the light workers and try to heal mother earth.

I am not religious, my religion is freedom, but others who chose to follow a religion of their choice is their right. Have you heard of the Indigo Children? I must post some links to some very interesting web sites xx

Good post, Earth, but tonight would demean my reply, so I'll post one tomorrow.

You might find this interesting Chelz.

Thank you Shine, look forward to your comments.






There are many things in this universe we don't understand. The public has been conditioned by mainstream news that we are the only beings in existence, while Hollywood glorifies the idea of invasion from evil aliens. Reality, on the other hand, is something a bit different. UFO's have been found for centuries, and people have been abducted from all over the world for the last 50 years, all with the government's knowledge, but conveniently kept from the public. Hollywood has made good attempts at bringing the alien phenomena into public awareness, but there has not been a positive movie about aliens made since the 1980's! The truth is that the ignorance caused by our own government is the biggest enemy, and their alliance with dark forces, such as the well known Zeta-Reticuli greys. There are other dark races out there that not many know of, such as the Reptilians, Draco, and the Annunaki, known to most only through ancient legends. But even lesser known still, are the positive alliances, fighting for the good of mankind. In the coming years, up to and including 2012, this world will be going through an ascension process, in which we will spiritually move from the dark 3rd dimension, into the higher vibrations of light, love, and spirit of the 5th dimension. Many sensitive people all over the world have already been feeling the effects of this, as our bodies break free of the old double stranded DNA helix, and evolve into new light bodies of vastly superior 12 strand DNA.

The Galactic Federation of Light is made up of many worlds committed to the cause of helping Earth ascend. Within the Federation is the Ashtar Command, a division whose members have the sole mission of helping in the ascension process. They send spiritual guides who speak through a few people in this world, who have a special mission here on Earth. These people with a mission are regular humans who have taken birth just like everyone else, however, their spiritual lineage is not native to this world. The people are light workers and starseeds, whose spirits originate from various worlds within the Federation, such as Lyra, Sirius, the Pleaides, and countless others. There are also children who are born today, whose current bodies are already more highly evolved than most older humans, and they are known as Indigos are crystal children. And lastly, some souls are "walk-ins", where the the original soul born to a body moves on, and a lightbeing walks into the body left behind.

The light workers on this world are only the "ground crew" of the Ashtar Command. The Command is headed by Ascended Masters, and millions of etheric "ships" that surround Earth and watch over us. The ground crew is here to receive their guidance, and to interact directly with the people of Earth.

"The Ashtar Command is the airborne division of the Great Brother/Sisterhood of Light, under the administrative direction of Commander Ashtar and the spiritual guidance of Lord Sananda, our Commander-in-Chief, know to Earth as Jesus the Christ. Composed of millions of starships and personnel from many civilizations, we are here to assist Earth and humanity through the current cycle of planetary cleansing and polar realignment. We serve like midwives in the birthing of humanity from dense-physical to physical-etheric bodies of light, capable of ascending into the fifth dimension along with the Earth."


"We of the Brotherhood of Light, and we who serve in the Intergalactic Fleets and Cosmic Federation Councils, come forth to bring you knowledge for a most eventful and confusing transition ..."


The Ashtar Command is an etheric group of extraterrestrials, angels and lightbeings and millions of "starships" working as coordinators of the activities of the spacefleet over the western hemisphere. Under the spiritual guidance of Sananda (the Most Radiant One), the ascended master who walked the Earth incarnated as Jesus the Christ, Ashtar, the commander of the galactic fleet and representative for the Universal Council of the Confederation of Planets, is currently engaged in Earth's ascension-process.

There are 144,000 lightworkers called Eagles connected to the Command. That is the minimum of souls required for the ascension process. These Eagles are a group of souls who don`t identify with a special planet. They know they are one with all, and that they are Christ (fundamental to any discussion of New Age Christology is the recognition that New Agers distinguish between Jesus, a mere human vessel, and the Christ consciousness (variously defined, but always divine, and often a cosmic, impersonal entity)).They serve like cosmic midwives in the ascension process; the birthing of humanity from dense-physical into physical-etheric bodies of Light, capable of ascending with the Earth into the fifth dimension. Lightwork is incorporating Jesus' message of Love and Light into our daily lives, ultimately connecting with our Higher-Self.

There is so much more out there, so much more we need to learn. The Ashtar Command is here to help. If you have always felt "different" throughout your life, like you could never fit in, or have always wanted "to go home", even when sitting in your own house, then you may be a starseed yourself!

The Pleiadians are Extraterrestrial beings from the Pleiades star system. Some have made the journey to earth to help us evolve to a higher dimension. These Pleiadians are so spiritually evolved that they no longer require a physical body. They are beings of light energy. The Pleiadians seem to communicate with certain earthlings who they say are part of the family of light. This communication is accomplished by telepathy, and channeling. I think I may have found another method they use which I call synocracist research.

The two most notable Contac tees are Barbara Marciniak, and Billy Meier. Marciniak an internationally known trance channel from North Carolina. She has sold over 280,000 copies of her channeled book “Bringers of the Dawn”. She claims the Pleadians are beings of light. Meier claims to have made physical contact with several Pleiadians who looked like humans. So much so that they can easily blend into our society. Meier claims his Pleiadian contacts come from the same area, but their home planet is an additional 80 light years beyond the Pleiades. This would indicate we may be dealing with two groups of Extraterrestrials from the same general area in the universe. Both calling themselves Plaeiadians. One either not as spiritually advanced, or they have the ability to shift into human form. One of Meier's contacts was a female. Her name was Semjase. During several visits she allowed him to take pictures of her “Beanship”. This craft allowed her to travel the 500 light years to earth in 7 hours. The Pleiadian's can move into “hyperspace” and convert themselves and their ships into fine matter particles that can travel faster than the speed of light. Meier has taken over 1000 of the clearest UFO photographs ever seen. Meier has also related some very advanced knowledge he claims they, passed on to him. Meier has a 5th grade education and he has notes about such advanced technology as the Pleadian's tachyon drive propulsion system. This was in the 70’s before the Internet. Meier does not live near any major information centers. Semjase told Meiers that our advanced scientific circles are working on systems know as light- emitting and tachyon drives. This was true, but it appears we have given up on the tachyon theory. We will discuss tachron drives later. Meier also claims the Semjase told him 3000 Alien craft visit Earth yearly. Most have little or no concern with humans. The Pleadians are concerned that Earth has advanced to a point where a hostile Alien invasion could occur. The Pleadians are preventing this invasion by their presence here.

Awakening
If we are to wake up, it is important to explore the possibilities and reach further to know who we really are. By exploring and remaining open, it is always possible to reach beyond ourselves for enlightenment, higher wisdom, and guidance. The Pleiadian Realm is not at the God level, yet it does exist in time beyond the human level. Ponder for a moment how another system of life might possibly run parallel to our own system of life.

The Pleiadian Realm operates outside of our normal concept of linear time. While it operates in another star system, it also exists outside of our normal ideas of time. Imagine for a moment that all of time takes place at the same time - both the past, present as well as the future. If we can tune into a so called past life, then we can also tune into future life - thus the Pleiadian Realm, and beyond. The idea here is for us now to begin to grasp the concept that time does not really exists. Neither does time run in a straight line. The time issue is much more complex than that, so much so that it often completely alludes us.

As we seek and learn of things unknown, we will walk down many paths in life encountering just what we need to help awaken us to a higher destiny. Our journey will cover a lifetime as we gather a multitude of experiences that will help us to expand and evolve. The most important issue to the human condition is not to allow ourselves to become rigid and unyielding in our thinking. This is a common human affliction and causes many to shut down the gates to further exploration, settling comfortably within the confines of one belief system. Our universe is expansive, vast and never ending and mostly unknown - anything at all is possible...and all things are possible

Remember
Awareness brings realization. Realization causes an awakening. Awakening brings us to an in-Lightened state. In the Light, you will find your truth....and finally you will know the power is within YOU.

Paganism is a cycle in an oscillating Universe. Nothing in the Universe is stationary: from the world revolving, creatures living and dying, to stars and planets roving their galaxies. Within these cosmic oscillations different galaxies interact, and at certain times within Time, celestial highways become connected. Throughout the Pagan world there are thousands of examples where the Pagans would try and capture this moment in moving heavens like that we have at Stone Henge. It is at these precise moments in Time, as Shakespeare's Macbeth says, 'We jump the life to come'. It was not unusual for the Incas to throw human sacrifices off their magnificent edifices in the hope of eternal cosmic migration.
