Explore the Roots of Paganism and Ancient Celebrations

Paganism, an ancient belief system rooted in harmony with nature, has evolved into an umbrella term for spiritual practices such as Wicca, Druidry, Shamanism, and animism. Pagans celebrate the cycles of the natural world, including the eight Sabbats, which represent birth, death, and rebirth through rituals, ceremonies, and festivities.

Did you know many modern holidays have roots in Pagan traditions? Christmas celebrates the rebirth of the sun during the Winter Solstice, while Easter’s symbols of eggs and rebirth trace back to Eostre, the goddess of spring. Even Halloween originates from Samhain, a time to honour the dead. These celebrations reflect the deep cultural and spiritual significance of connecting with nature’s rhythms.

Discover how ancient customs still influence the way we celebrate today. From the solstices to holidays like May Day and St. John’s Eve, the echoes of Pagan traditions continue to inspire and connect us to the past.
