Paganism, Druids, Animism By: Samantha

Paganism Paganism describes a group of religions based on a love for nature. These faiths reflect on the traditional religions of people around the world. www.patheos.com

Symbols A common symbol used by many religions is the pentagram, which is a five pointed star that is enclosed by a circle, representing the five elements, the spirit being the highest point on the star.

Druids Druidism is a religion that was taught by a member of the priestly class of the Celts around 2000 years ago. Druidism is a nature like religion that has a lot of things in common with New Age and Wicca, but focus more on ancestry and nature. www.druidry.org

Part 2 The Celts had created a sort of sophisticated religious system with three types of druids, Bards who knew the songs and stories of the tribe, the Ovates, who were the healers and the seers and the Druids who were the philosophers, judges and teachers.

Animism Animism is the belief that all things have a spirit or soul, including animals, plants, rivers, mountains.Each being is considered a spirit that can offer help to humans. www.boundless.com/sociology/textbooks

Part 2 Animists offer sacrifices, prayers, dances, or other forms of devotions to these spirits in hopes of blessing upon areas of life (crops, health, fertility, etc.) or for protection from harm.

Pagan & Beowulf But the Lord was weaving a victory on His war-loom for the Weather-Geats. (696-697) In this quote from Beowulf the poet unites the Christian God with pagan imagery.

Pagan symbols Pentagon Trifecta Representing the five points and the elements Trifecta Representing ,Mind , Body, and Soul

Druid symbols The Runes Triskelion Land, Sea and Sky; Underworld, Midrealm and Heavens; The Runes the ancient alphabet that they used during this era

Animism symbols There aren't any symbols that I could find that connect only to animism that aren’t already a part of the symbols of paganism or druidry.
