I\'ve noticed a revival of pagan ideas and rituals that have caught on in numerous movements. The climate movement, racial movements (on both the right and the left), and other ostensibly secular movements have neo-pagan elements. In order to discuss this, I want to offer a definition for neo-paganism.
\\nI\'d define neo-paganism is an explicit or implicit belief that misattributes spiritual significance. These beliefs, coupled with a set of rituals, are what I call neo-pagan movements, even if the practitioners may think they\'re merely secular.
\\nMerits of Neo-paganism
\\nWhile I do not find these new pagan ideas convincing, I do understand where they\'re coming from. So, I want to be fair and offer my thoughts about what they get right.
\\nAlthough I understand the motivations and think they\'re a step in the right direction, I think many have missed the truth that they seek. With that in mind, here are some of the errors I find the neo-pagans of today falling into.
\\nNow that I\'ve discussed where neo-pagans go wrong, and where they get things right, I want to discuss how to fix their ideas to comport with reality. If we want to channel this neo-paganism and move it toward the truth, here are a few things we could do.
