What Is Paganism? Exploring Definitions and Meanings with Lora O'Brien at the Irish Pagan School

Lora O'Brien from the Irish Pagan School gives a clear paganism definition, exploring both ancient and modern paganism perspectives, and answers the question - what is paganism, in simple terms. Learn about ancient polytheistic religions, animism as a foundation of spirituality, and how these traditions influence contemporary paganism. Discover how modern pagan paths like Wicca, Asatru, and Druidry connect to historical roots, and understand the significance of reclaiming the term "paganism" in today's spiritual landscape.

At the Irish Pagan School we offer Online Classes on Irish Paganism, Mythology, History, Heritage, Culture, Magic and Spirituality, taught by native Irish Educators, based in County Waterford, Ireland.

Lora, my 6 yo daughter got a glimpse on my phone when I was reading your newsletter and asked me what Paganism "actually" is. It led us to a beautiful conversation, some clarification and lots of other questions, thank you very much for the inspiration ✨️💕

I'm mind blown! I was researching about Christianity and what came before it within the uk and read it was paganism. Having now looked into it, its all starting to make sense to me this is me! Through out my life i have been always drawn to nature, my name Lee literally means meadow and i am gay so never felt like i was truly appreciated or excepted with Christianity because of this.
I will have to look more into paganism because i am only just learning about it tonight but i feel like this is my calling so far. Thanks for sharing!
