Description
Contemporary Paganism is an inventive spiritual practice. Influential figures like Margaret Murray and Gerald Gardner shaped modern Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism, often using questionable historical evidence. The notion of "Invented Religions" underlines the creative aspect of Paganism, where history, art and personal influences blend to form new paths. Neo-Paganism combines history, myth and art to create a unique spiritual landscape.
