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 earliest pagans were referred to as the Hellenes. This term was bestowed onto them by the Christian Jews of the time. The term was used in reference to the Hebrews who were not believers of the Christian faith. With time this name ceased to be used as a cultural one but become the name of the faithless. This marked the beginning of paganism classification of people.

The fictional writings of these pagans have a lot to do with the pagans and their ways. This is their way of putting their cultures, norms, traditions and others into writing. This form of writing is basically based on imagination and ability for creativity. It is not informative like other religious writings known to man. It is usually fantasy writing from the mind of an imaginative person aimed at thrilling the readers.

Books written with an attempt to portray the pagans ways are highly fictional and tailored to entertain the open minded. Such writing featured creatures unseen on earth and abilities unknown to man. Pagans believe in the existence of magic and people born with special magical capabilities. This belief is vividly shown in majority of the books written with particular titles.

Nothing can be more entertaining than a pagan titled motion picture. Whenever this literature is converted into a movie, people embrace it highly. This is basically due to the innovativeness and creativity portrayed in these movies. These motion pictures are characterized with a highly natural setup and people with all sorts of inhuman features and supernatural powers.

Therefore as much as people despise paganism as a religion, their cultures and traditions have been widely embraced. The works of this religion are enjoyed by so many people in the community at large. The movies created from their culture and beliefs are the most watched to date.
