Description |
Abstract |
The presence of Pagan beliefs in modern non-Pagan contexts challenges the idea that they are cultural relics and how current beliefs often mix cultural influences, including significant pre-Christian elements. There are beliefs and practices, such as the notions of ghosts and luck, that share roots with pre-Christian traditions. The concept of "Popular Frazerism," where individuals engage in practices with ancient origins, often without identifying as Pagan, is introduced. |
