Pagan Fiction Writings And Movies

By Jody Leach


Paganism can be defined in so many ways depending on the point of view. According to Christians, a pagan is anyone that is not a believer. Any individual that does not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, holy trinity and God the almighty is a pagan. However a more open minded view defines paganism as any religion that does not have origins from Abraham. This brings us to pagan fiction literature and movies.

Paganism is a classical religion with no much to go with. Pagans can worship any aspect of nature as they please. They also have no commandments or strict way of life like the Christians and Islamic. This religion originated from the pre-modern Europe and got most of their cultures from there. The pagan community has no elaborate organization as such and every one decides as they wish.

In recent times another breed of pagans has cropped up. This breed is commonly referred to as the neo-paganisms. These are modern day pagans that claim to have their origins from beliefs of ancient Europe. These however share very little in common with the olden day ones. Their cultures, traditions and beliefs are totally different. They live under the common notion that divinity can only be in mind and also nature.

The origin of the pagans can be traced way back to be beginning of Christianity itself. It was a time of confusion coercions and segregation. People identified each other according to religion. Unfortunately majority of Hebrew had not subscribed to any religious affiliation as yet. This made them vulnerable and hence was nicknamed the Hellenes. Hellene was a term that referred to people without faith at the time.

This fiction literature relates to cultural ways, beliefs and traditions of Hellenes. This cannot be classified as an exact literature. The writing of pagans ways in novels and other forms of writing for entertainment is popular today. They are more of fantasy writings in nature and are mostly intended for the children. Some adults are known to highly enjoy them as well.

Imaginations run wild and a lot of exotic ideas of gods and super humans came into existence. The fictional books were filled with such. The existence of magical powers and creatures form the basis of these books. Adventurous stories were told about these people and their quests. This is one of the aspects that make paganism a very interesting religion.

Due to the highly vivid nature of these stories and writings, movies were produced too. Here the imaginative power of these people was capitalized upon to create very entertaining movies that capture every ones interest. The movies produced here are merely fantasy based and fictional. Applicability has not been proven yet.

These movies and books simply put across the ways, cultures and traditions of pagans. From the high level utility of these materials, it is clear that people have embraced the ideas being expressed. Therefore the pagan community has a lot to offer the entertainment industry at large. With this the religion continues to grow
