What does the word Pagan mean?
The word pagan, literally means “country-dweller.” Back in the day around the 14th century, the word pagan was used describe the people who lived off of the land. Thus, it’s not surprising that their religion was centered around agriculture just like their lives. Today the word of choice is neo-pagan, which means “new pagan”; this word is used to describe people who are involved in a modern earth-based religion or spiritual path. However I think it’s silly to type neo-pagan all the time so I just use the word pagan, but since that word is so broad I try to avoid it.
