| Zusammenfassung: | Focusing on a curated selection of pagan art and artifacts, this book explains the iconography and mystic power of pagan ritual objects from around the world. Ethan Doyle White identifi es three critical elements of paganism from classical antiquity to today: polytheism, affi liation with nature, and witchcraft and divination. Fundamental symbols are identifi ed and examined closely, and central myths and allegories are clarifi ed to provide new insights into the philosophies and beliefs of pagans. Pagans begins with an introduction that clarifi es what we mean by "pagan." It traces the pre- Christian origins of paganism, the development of the diff erent aspects of pagan belief over centuries, and how materials from the pre- Christian religions of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia are built into the practices of today’s Pagans. The book is organized into three broad sections—"Ancient Ways," "Ritual," and "Community"— each containing three themed chapters. For each chapter, illustrated text is interspersed with double- page presentations of the key fi gures, stories, and iconography relevant to each theme. Readers will not only come to understand the many symbols that defi ne pagan religions and practices but will also discover the beliefs and philosophies of pagans from around the world, from polytheism to pantheism and from magic and ritual to ideas about the afterlife. This is the second in a series of books on the material and visual culture of global religions and spiritual traditions, highlighting the iconography and mystic power of ritual objects and images. |
