📜 Course Description 

Paganism is one of the fastest growing spiritual movements in the West. Pagan religion is all around us - in the landscape moulded by generations before into sacred hill and standing stone, into sacred burial ground and holy mountain, places where generation after generation have walked honouring the Gods of their peoples and lands. It is a religion preserved in folk song, dance and seasonal customs. Yet it is also a vibrant and living way of life just as relevant to people today as it was to our ancestors. Come with us as we take a journey of discovery exploring the history, beliefs, traditions and practices that make modern neo-Paganism what it is today. 

✨ By the end of the course, students will: 

• Understanding the meaning of the word Pagan and how Paganism has developed and changed over the centuries.

• Be aware of different traditions within the Pagan family tree.
