Pagan Fiction Writings And Movies

By Jody Leach


A pagan is one who subscribes to paganism as a religion. These pagans believe not in God but nature as their source of divine. In other perspectives, a pagan can be defined as a non-believer of the Christian faith. These are people who do not believe in the existence of God but rather worship nature as it is. They write material to educate people on their ways, this leads the pagan fiction writings and movies.

A pagan is a person that belongs to this classical religion. These people form a favorable fraction of the population today. Their community has its cultures and traditions derived from the indigenous and polytheistic ways that existed earlier on. The pagan community basically exists in silence, not much about them is put out. They basically believe in nature and worship various aspects of it. The religions that cannot be classified as pagans include strictly Christianity, Islamism and the Judaism.

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 history of paganism dates way back to the beginning of Christianity. At this time people were identified using their religious affiliations. The Hebrews had not embraced any known religion yet and so were termed as the Hellenes. Hellenes is a term used to describe pagans as well. As time went by the name became popular and that was the birth of this religion.

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.

In conclusion, this form of literature and movies are the most widely read and watched respectively today. This is not only the pagans themselves but all other religious affiliations too. Much as it is fiction, when brought to life in books and movies, it can be highly captivating to the mind. Both adults and children enjoy them alike.
