Origins
There is so much to say about the origins of Paganism. Wicca is generally accepted as part of Paganism, a subgroup of them. I am an eclectic Wiccan with the name of Dragonos Star Stone. There is freedom in Wicca that anyone can be accepted into it...Christians, Atheists, etc. What many call god and pray to for struggles they face Wiccans call nature. The origins of Paganism or Earth based worship that included the Moon and Sun is up for debate. Many agree that it was the Celtic tribes of Europe some 3000 years ago that formed and worshipped the basic ideas of Paganism. Others, like myself, see it repeated in shamanism of many peoples. From this present moment to the times of Cave paintings some 40,000 years ago to the Neanderthals I believe in many ways the self aware human mind has been looking to the stars, looking at the nature that surrounds us in a magikal, mystical and wonderous sense for a very long time.
