Paganism

From WikiMystica

Template:Dablink Template:Mythology Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic"<ref>http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/pagan.html</ref>) is a blanket term, typically used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions; although from a narrowly Christian perspective the term has been used historically to encompass all non–Abrahamic religions.<ref name="CatholicEnc">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>http://www.religioustolerance.org/paganism.htm – Robinson, B.A (2000). "What do "Paganism" & "Pagan" mean?" at religioustolerance.org</ref>

It is primarily used in a historical context, referring to Greco-Roman polytheism as well as the polytheistic traditions of Europe before Christianization. In a wider sense, extended to contemporary religions, it includes most of the Eastern religions and the indigenous traditions of the Americas, Central Asia, Australia and Africa; as well as non-Abrahamic folk religion in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. Characteristic of pagan traditions is the absence of proselytism and the presence of a living mythology, which explains religious practice.

The term pagan is a Christian adaptation of the "gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among monotheists,<ref>"Pagan", Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition, 1911, retrieved 22 May 2007.[1]</ref> comparable to heathen and infidel also known as kafir (كافر) and mushrik in Islam. Peter Brown observes:

"The adoption of paganus by Latin Christians as an all-embracing, pejorative term for polytheists represents an unforeseen and singularly long-lasting victory, within a religious group, of a word of Latin slang originally devoid of religious meaning. The evolution occurred only in the Latin west, and in connection with the Latin church. Elsewhere, 'Hellene' or 'gentile' (ethnikos) remained the word for 'pagan'; and paganos continued as a purely secular term, with overtones of the inferior and the commonplace."<ref>Peter Brown, in Glen Warren Bowersock, Peter Robert Lamont Brown, Oleg Grabar, eds., Late Antiquity: a guide to the postclassical world, 1999, s.v. "Pagan".</ref>

For these reasons, ethnologists avoid the term "paganism," with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism.

In the late 20th century, "Paganism", or "Neopaganism", became widely used in reference to adherents of various New Religious Movements including Wicca.<ref>"A Basic Introduction to Paganism", BBC, retrieved 19 May 2007.</ref> As such, various modern scholars have begun to apply the term to three groups of separate faiths: Historical Polytheism (such as Celtic polytheism, Norse paganism, and Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism also called Hellenismos), Folk/ethnic/Indigenous religions (such as Chinese folk religion and African traditional religion), and Neopaganism (such as Wicca and Germanic Neopaganism).

Pagan

The term pagan is from the Latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or "of the country." As a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager."<ref>http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/pagan.html Word History</ref> The semantic development of post-classical Latin paganus in the sense "non-Christian, heathen" is unclear. The dating of this sense is controversial, but the 4th century seems most plausible. An earlier example has been suggested in Tertullian De Corona Militis xi, "Apud hunc [sc. Christum] tam miles est paganus fidelis quam paganus est miles infidelis," but here the word paganus may be interpreted in the sense "civilian" rather than "heathen". There are three main explanations of the development:





The most unpleasant vaginal infections is bacterial vaginosis. This is certainly one of the top three most typical vaginal infections which also include trichomoniasis which can be an STD as well as a yeast infection a result from fungus. This content discusses bacterial vaginosis natural treatment. Bacterial vaginosis infection is one of misdiagnosed and least understood from the three vaginal infections. Scientific studies are continuing to elevate of this type mostly seem lifeless condition being discovered as ultimately causing various health concerns such as premature birth, infertility, increased post partum infections, being more vulnerable to STDs including HIV generally if condition is left untreated and some other health problems which is developed if bacterial vaginosis infection is left untreated. Approximately a third of all pregnant women are infected with the infection which makes it crucial that treatment is sought at your earliest convenience to prevent yourself from birth complications. Although bacterial vaginosis infection could lead to increased vulnerability to STDs if not treated, it's not at all considered a venereal disease and should not be transferred from one individual to an additional like a STD will.

However the factors behind the bacterial vaginosis generally are not clearly known, having multiple sexual partners may be a potential trigger the particular condition. Vaginal douching been specifically related to increasing the risk of developing raise the risk so these businesses be prevented when a contamination is diagnosed. This particular vaginal infection develops when there is an imbalance from the numerous kinds of bacteria with the vagina. A vast number of bacteria may dwell in a general vagina. These bacteria when working normally keep your vagina’s pH levels general. An imbalance of certain bad bacteria in the vagina which overtake wise bacteria leads to various vaginal infections including bacterial vaginosis infection and usually leads to abnormal vaginal discharges.

The abnormal discharge affiliated with bacterial vaginosis has a foul “fishy” smelling odor. To describe it in among the only the signs of this type of vaginal infection. The abnormal discharge is commonly thin and white to gray in color. If you feel your discharge is excessive in comparison to the your normal discharge, this can be the earliest sign of an infection. Some women within the condition will never display any symptoms after all. Treatment Traditional treatments normally involve antibiotics which you'll find recommended by a doctor is usually taken either orally or applied locally compared to the vagina. Expecting mothers should exercise caution with any treatment for the condition and really should constantly consult a doctor before starting any treatment regimen. Because traditional medicine has not treat the main root grounds for bacterial vaginosis, almost 50% of women who receive conventional treatment for bacterial vaginosis infection will develop the complaint inside of year as soon as the treatment. Natural or holistic treatments supply the best answer to treating this vaginal infection once and for all due to the fact worry about the root cause of this challenge. Many natural treatment remedies has been found to focus wonderfully at treating the problem on most sufferers with no connected unwanted side effects may be present with conventional bacterial vaginosis treatments. Natural treatments also cost much less than conventional medicines and use ingredients which are often available. Prevention Although no single cause to become defined as leading to bacterial vaginosis, keeping a right diet and adopting a healthy lifestyle is a viable preventative way. When you're a smoker, consider steps that will help you quit. Additional tips to decrease the risk of developing the condition include; a. Eliminating vaginal douching b. Lowering the a number of sexual partners c. Utilizing protection along the lines of condoms during sex activity d. Avoiding bubble baths but just as feminine hygiene sprays including perfumes e. Wiping from cab to tailgate after urinating in order to prevent exposure to the rectum), and soon the word for "country dweller" became synonymous with someone who was "not a Christian," giving rise to the modern meaning of "Pagan." This may, in part, have had to do with the closeness to nature of rural people, who may have been more resistant to the new ideas of Christianity than those who lived in major urban centers and were cut off from the cycles of nature and the forms of spirituality associated with them. However, it may have also resulted from early Christian missionaries focusing their efforts within major population centers (e.g., St. Paul), rather than throughout an expansive, yet sparsely populated, countryside (hence, the Latin term suggesting "uneducated country folk") until a bit later on.

—Oxford English Dictionary, (online) 2nd Edition (1989)

The post-classical Latin paganismus gave rise to both paganism and to its synonym paynimry.<ref>OED etymology for paynim: < Anglo-Norman paenisme, painisme, paienime, painnim, peinime, paenime, etc., and Old French paienime, paienisme heathen lands (c1150–74), heathen religion (1160) < post-classical Latin paganismus (see PAGANISM n.), probably influenced by Old French paien (see PAYEN n.).</ref> Paynimry may be used of paganism, its practises, and pagans,<ref>OED entry for 'paynimry'.</ref> as well as for the domain or realm of pagans.<ref>http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/paynimry</ref>

"Peasant" is a cognate, via Old French paisent.<ref>http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3atext%3a1999%2e04%2e0062&query=id%3dpagus#id,pagus Harry Thurston Peck, Harper's Dictionary of Classical Antiquity, 1897; "pagus"</ref>

In their origins, these usages derived from pagus, "province, countryside", cognate to Greek πάγος "rocky hill", and, even earlier, "something stuck in the ground", as a landmark: the Proto-Indo-European root *pag- means "fixed" and is also the source of the words page, pale (stake), and pole, as well as pact and peace.

While pagan is attested in English from the 14th century, there is no evidence that the term paganism was in use in English before the 17th century. The OED instances Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776): "The divisions of Christianity suspended the ruin of paganism." The term was not a neologism, however, as paganismus was already used by Augustine.<ref>Divers. Quaest. 83. Augustine makes clear that, in his time, paganus was the term in Vulgar Latin synonymous to educated gentilis "gentile".</ref>

Less than twenty years after the last vestiges of paganism were crushed with great severity by the emperor Theodosius I<ref>"Theodosius I", The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1912</ref> Rome was seized by Alaric in 410. This led to murmuring that the gods of paganism had taken greater care of the city than that of the Christian God, inspiring St Augustine to write The City of God, alternative title "De Civitate Dei contra Paganos: The City of God against the Pagans", in which he claimed that whilst the great 'city of Man' had fallen, Christians were ultimately citizens of the 'city of God.'<ref>"The City of God", Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite DVD, 2003.</ref>

Heathen

Heathen is from Old English hæðen "not Christian or Jewish" (c.f. Old Norse heiðinn). Historically, the term was probably influenced by Gothic haiþi "dwelling on the heath", appearing as haiþno in Ulfilas' bible as "gentile woman" (translating the "Hellene" in Template:Bibleverse). This translation was probably influenced by Latin paganus, "country dweller", or it was chosen because of its similarity to the Greek ἐθνικός ethnikos, "gentile". It has even been suggested that Gothic haiþi is not related to "heath" at all, but rather a loan from Armenian hethanos, itself loaned from Greek ἔθνος ethnos.

Terminology

Template:See Both "pagan" and "heathen" have historically been used as a pejorative by adherents of monotheistic religions (such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam) to indicate a disbeliever in their religion; although in modern times it is not always used as a pejorative. "Paganism" frequently refers to the religions of classical antiquity, most notably Greek mythology or Roman religion; and can be used neutrally or admiringly by those who refer to those complexes of belief. However, until the rise of Romanticism and the general acceptance of freedom of religion in Western civilization, "Paganism" was almost always used disparagingly of heterodox beliefs falling outside the established political framework of the Christian Church. "Pagan" came to be equated with a Christianized sense of "epicurian" to signify a person who is sensual, materialistic, self-indulgent, unconcerned with the future and uninterested in sophisticated religion. The word was usually used in this worldly and stereotypical sense, particularly among those who were drawing attention to what they perceived as being the limitations of paganism. For example, as when G. K. Chesterton wrote: "The pagan set out, with admirable sense, to enjoy himself. By the end of his civilization he had discovered that a man cannot enjoy himself and continue to enjoy anything else." In sharp contrast, Swinburne the poet would comment on this same theme: "Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath; We have drunken of things Lethean, and fed on the fullness of death."<ref>'Hymn to Proserpine'</ref>

Christianity itself has been perceived at times as a form of polytheism by followers of the other Abrahamic religions<ref>Jewish Encyclopedia</ref><ref>Shirk</ref> because of, for example, the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, the celebration of pagan feast days,<ref>Christianised calendar</ref> and other practices<ref>Christianised rituals</ref> – through a process described as "baptizing"<ref>The Pope, The Emperor and the Persian Leader</ref> or "christianization". Even between Christians there have been similar charges of idolatry levelled, especially by Protestants,<ref>'Philip Melanchthon 'Apologia Confessionis Augustanae'</ref><ref>Jean Seznec 'The Survival of the Pagan Gods'</ref> towards the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches for their veneration of the saints and images.

Historical paganism

Template:See

Bronze Age to Early Iron Age

Classical Antiquity

Template:Main Ludwig Feuerbach (1833) defines "paganism" (Heidentum) in the context of classical antiquity as "the unity of religion and politics, of spirit and nature, of god and man",<ref>c.f. the civil, natural and mythical theologies of Marcus Terentius Varro</ref> qualified by the observation that "man" in the pagan view is always defined by ethnicity, i.e. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Jew, etc., so that each pagan tradition is also an national tradition. Feuerbach goes on to postulate that the emergence of monotheism and thus the end of the pagan period was a development which naturally grew out of Hellenistic philosophy due to the contradiction inherent in the ethnic nature of pagan tradition and the universality of human spirituality (Geist), finally resulting in the emergence of a religion with a universalist scope in the form of Christianity.<ref>Ludwig Feuerbach, Geschichte der neueren Philosophie (1833), Introduction, §1 (Paganism, Philosophy, Religion, Christianity) Das Wesen des Heidentums war die Einheit von Religion und Politik, Geist und Natur, Gott und Mensch. Aber der Mensch im Heidentum war nicht der Mensch schlechtweg, sondern der nationell bestimmte Mensch: der Grieche, der Römer, der Ägyptier, der Jude, folglich auch sein Gott ein nationell bestimmtes, besonderes, dem Wesen oder Gotte anderer Völker entgegengesetztes Wesen — ein Wesen also im Widerspruch mit dem Geiste, welcher das Wesen der Menschheit und als ihr Wesen die allgemeine Einheit aller Völker und Menschen ist. Die Aufhebung dieses Widerspruchs im Heidentum war die heidnische Philosophie; denn sie riß den Menschen heraus aus seiner nationellen Abgeschlossenheit und Selbstgenügsamkeit, erhob ihn über die Borniertheit des Volksdünkels und Volksglaubens, versetzte ihn auf den kosmopolitischen Standpunkt. </ref>

Late Antiquity

Template:See The developments of Late Antiquity in the religious thought in the far-flung Roman Empire needs to be addressed separately, as this is the context in which Early Christianity itself developed as one of several monotheistic cults, and it was in this period that the concept of "pagan" developed in the first place. Christianity as it emerged out of Second Temple Judaism (or Hellenistic Judaism) stood in competition with other religions advocating "pagan monotheism", including Neoplatonism, Mithraism, Gnosticism, Manichaeanism, and the cult of Dionysus.<ref>E. Kessler, Dionysian Monotheism in Nea Paphos, Cyprus "two monotheistic religions, Dionysian and Christian, existed contemporaneously in Nea Paphos during the 4th century C.E. [...] the particular iconography of Hermes and Dionysos in the panel of the Epiphany of Dionysos [...] represents the culmination of a pagan iconographic tradition in which an infant divinity is seated on the lap of another divine figure; this pagan motif was appropriated by early Christian artists and developed into the standardized icon of the Virgin and Child. Thus the mosaic helps to substantiate the existence of pagan monotheism." Biblical Studies on the Web</ref>

Dionysus in particular exhibits significant parallels with Christ, so that numerous scholars have concluded that the recasting of Jesus the wandering rabbi into the image of Christ the Logos, the divine saviour, reflects the cult of Dionysus directly. They point to the symbolism of wine and the importance it held in the mythology surrounding both Dionysus and Jesus Christ;<ref>Pausanias, Description of Greece 6. 26. 1 - 2</ref><ref>Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 2. 34a</ref> Wick argues that the use of wine symbolism in the Gospel of John, including the story of the Marriage at Cana at which Jesus turns water into wine, was intended to show Jesus as superior to Dionysus.<ref name="Wick 2004 179–198"/> The scene in The Bacchae wherein Dionysus appears before King Pentheus on charges of claiming divinity is compared to the New Testament scene of Jesus being interrogated by Pontius Pilate.<ref>Studies in Early Christology, by Martin Hengel, 2005, p.331 (ISBN 0567042804)</ref><ref name=Powell>Powell, Barry B., Classical Myth Second ed. With new translations of ancient texts by Herbert M. Howe. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1998.</ref><ref name="Wick 2004 179–198">Template:Cite journal</ref>

For these reasons, it is difficult if not impossible to draw a clear line between "Christianity" and "Paganism" for the period of the 3rd to 4th centuries when Christianity was in its formative phase. Only with the emergence of Orthodox Christianity as reflected in the Apostle's Creed and the final decline of Hellenistic paganism by the 6th century does "paganism" become a concept clearly distinct from Christianity.

Ethnic religions of pre-Christian Europe

Template:See

(as opposed to Abrahamic religion)

Pagan survivals in folklore

Template:See In addition, folklore that is not any longer perceived as holding any religious significance can in some instances be traced to pre-Christian or pre-Islamic origins. In Europe, this is particularly the case with the various customs of Carnival or Fasnacht and the Yule traditions surrounding Santa Claus/Sinterklaas. By contrast, the Christmas tree in spite of frequent association with Thor's Oak cannot be shown to be an innovation predating the Early Modern period.

Early Modern period

Interest in pagan traditions was revived in the Renaissance, at first in Renaissance magic as a revival of Greco-Roman magic. In the 17th century, description of paganism turned from the theological aspect to the ethnological, and a religion began to be understood as part of the ethnic identity of a people, and the study of the religions of "primitive" peoples triggered questions as to the ultimate historical origin of religion. Thus, Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc saw the pagan religions of Africa of his day as relicts that were in principle capable of shedding light on the historical paganism of Classical Antiquity.<ref>"It would be a great pleasure to make the comparison with what survives to us of ancient paganism in our old books, in order to have better [grasped] their spirit." Peter N. Miller, History of Religion Becomes Ethnology: Some Evidence from Peiresc's Africa Journal of the History of Ideas 67.4 (2006) 675–696.[2]</ref>

Romanticism

Paganism re-surfaces as a topic of fascination in 18th to 19th century Romanticism, in particular in the context of the literary Celtic and Viking revivals, which portrayed historical Celtic and Germanic polytheists as noble savages.

The 19th century also saw much scholarly interest in the reconstruction of pagan mythology from folklore or fairy tales. This was notably attempted by the Brothers Grimm, especially Jacob Grimm in his Teutonic Mythology, and Elias Lönnrot with the compilation of the Kalevala. The work of the Brothers Grimm influenced other collectors, both inspiring them to collect tales and leading them to similarly believe that the fairy tales of a country were particularly representative of it, to the neglect of cross-cultural influence. Among those influenced were the Russian Alexander Afanasyev, the Norwegians Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, and the Englishman Joseph Jacobs.<ref>Jack Zipes, The Great Fairy Tale Tradition: From Straparola and Basile to the Brothers Grimm, p 846, ISBN 0-393-97636-X</ref>

Romanticist interest in non-classical antiquity coincided with the rise of Romantic nationalism and the rise of the nation state in the context of the 1848 revolutions, leading to the creation of national epics and national myths for the various newly formed states. Pagan or folkloristic topics were also common in the Musical nationalism of the period.

Neopaganism

Template:Main

File:Paganavebury.jpg
Pagan handfasting ceremony at Avebury (Beltane 2005).

Neopaganism includes reconstructed religions such as Hellenic polytheism, Celtic or Germanic reconstructionism as well as modern eclectic traditions such as Discordianism, or Wicca and its many offshoots.

Many of the "revivals", Wicca and Neo-druidism in particular, have their roots in 19th century Romanticism and retain noticeable elements of occultism or theosophy that were current then, setting them apart from historical rural (paganus) folk religion.

Neopaganism in the United States accounts for roughly a third of all neopagans worldwide, and for some 0.2% of US population, figuring as the sixth largest non-Christian denomination in the US, after Judaism (1.4%), Islam (0.6%), Buddhism (0.5%), Hinduism (0.3%) and Unitarian Universalism (0.3%).<ref>ARIS 2001 figures.</ref>

In Iceland, the members of Ásatrúarfélagið account for 0.4% of the total population<ref>Statistics Iceland – Statistics >> Population >> Religious organisations</ref>, which is just over a thousand people.

There are a number of Neopagan authors who have examined the relation of the 20th-century movements of polytheistic revival with historical polytheism on one hand and contemporary traditions of indigenous folk religion on the other. Isaac Bonewits introduces a terminology to make this distinction,<ref name="Defs">"Defining Paganism: Paleo-, Meso-, and Neo-" (Version 2.5.1) 1979, 2007 c.e., Isaac Bonewits</ref>

Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick in their A History of Pagan Europe (1995) classify "pagan religions" as characterized by the following traits:

  • polytheism: pagan religions recognise a plurality of divine beings, which may or may not be considered aspects of an underlying unity (the soft and hard polytheism distinction)
  • "nature-based": pagan religions have a concept of the divinity of Nature, which they view as a manifestation of the divine, not as the "fallen" creation found in Dualistic cosmology.
  • "sacred feminine": pagan religions recognize "the female divine principle", identified as "the Goddess" (as opposed to individual goddesses) besides or in place of the male divine principle as expressed in the Abrahamic God.<ref>Jones, Prudence; Pennick, Nigel (1995). A History of Pagan Europe. Page 2. Routledge.</ref>

Demographics

Paganism has been previously defined broadly, to encompass many or most of the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic religions.

The term has also been used more narrowly,<ref>Meanings of the terms Pagan and Paganism</ref><ref>Eisenstadt, S.N., 1983, Transcendental Visions – Other-Worldliness – and Its Transformations: Some More Comments on L. Dumont. Religion13:1–17, at p. 3.</ref><ref>Michael York, Paganism as Root-Religion, The Pomegranate, 6:1 (2004), pp. 11–18 (distinguishing the main streams of developed religion as gnostic, dharmic, Abrahamic and pagan).</ref> however, to refer only to religions outside the very large group of so-called Axial Age faiths that encompass both the Abrahamic religions and the chief Indian religions. Under this narrower definition, which differs from that historically used by many<ref name="newadvent.org">Catholic Encyclopaedia (1917 edition) on paganism</ref><ref>Hindu rites at a famous Catholic shrine shocks many Catholics</ref> (though by no means all<ref>David Scott, Christian Responses to Buddhism in Pre-Medieval Times, Numen, Vol. 32, No. 1 (Jul., 1985), pp. 88–100</ref><ref>Audrius Beinorius, Buddhism in the Early European Imagination: A Historical Perspective, ACTA ORIENTALIA VILNENSIA 6:2 (2005), pp. 7–22</ref>) Christians and other Westerners, contemporary paganism is a smaller and more marginal numerical phenomenon. According to Encyclopedia Britannica estimates (as of 2005), adherents of Chinese folk religion account for some 6.3% of world population, and adherents of tribal religions ("ethnoreligionists") for another 4.0%. The number of adherents of neopaganism is insignificant in comparison, amounting to 0.02% of world population at the most, or some 0.4% of the "ethnoreligious" population.
