Pagan and Native Faith movements have sprung up across Europe in recent decades, yet little has been published about them compared with British and American Pagans. Though all such movements valorize human relationships with nature and embrace polytheistic cosmologies, practitioners' beliefs, practices, goals and agendas are diverse. Often side by sideare groups trying to reconstruct ancient religions motivated by ethnonationalism — especially in post-Soviet societies — and others attracted by imported traditions, such as Wicca, Druidry, Goddess Spirituality and Core Shamanism. Drawing on ethnographic cases, contributors explore the interplay of neo-nationalistic and neo-colonialist impulses in contemporary Paganism, showing how these impulses play out, intersect, collide and transform.
