1. Paganism, Druids, Animism
By: Samantha

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.
