Pagan Reconstructionisms

Grey, cloudy sky background of crumbling Greek templeSome contemporary Pagans do their best to strictly reconstruct what is known of pre- and non-Abrahamic religions. Others draw inspiration from past traditions or blend the past with new spiritual practices. Such spiritual creativity and bricolage characterize the 21st century religious landscape, as modern people continue to seek wisdom of the past while exploring their own ways of making meaning. This course will take a close look at Roma, Slavic, Kemetic, Hellenic, Minoan traditions and more.
