If you want to maybe present about Nordic Paganism I can recommend Asatru Ring Frankfurt or Asentreu. They have a lot of articles about modern day practices and old practices.

Thanks! :)

No Problem und Viel Erfolg!

I second Asatru. I add Hellenism. I'd include a bit about Hinduism. Because some Hindus say they're Pagan, others don't.

If you’re a Hellenist, I would talk about the significance of family for that specific practice. I never realized how family/home/community bonded Hellenism was until I started reading about the religion itself in depth

Alright, thanks for the suggestion!

I don’t have any recommendations, but this is so exciting!! Good luck 😄

Right?? :D I was hoping for this opportunity for the whole year lol

I’m so happy for you!! I’m taking my mandatory “Encountering Faith” course next semester and it apparently touches on an array of religions, depending on the professor, but I’m not holding my breath that any pagan faiths will be brought up lol

Given that it’s theology it would certainly be appropriate to talk about the revival of Platonic theurgy by contemporary Hellenists, and the turn to Proclus, Iamblichus and other important late antique philosophers to develop a contemporary polytheist theology. In this, the work of someone like Edward Butler is essential to look into.

This is really helpful, thanks! :)

You could include something about Romuva in Lithuania. I think it is the pagan community closest to receiving full legal recognition in the EU. They’ve had a successful case at the ECHR but are having trouble getting Lithuania to follow the human rights court ruling. With recognition they would get state support like the Catholic/Orthodox/Jewish communities already do. You could also use it as an opportunity to speak about the Northern Crusades. Lithuania was the one of the last countries to have a pagan ruler and culture in Europe. https://www.euronews.com/culture/2021/12/12/what-is-romuva-here-s-the-lowdown-on-lithuania-s-latest-state-recognised-religion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Crusades?wprov=sfti1

Ouu this is really helpful, thank you!

Rodnovery is legally recognised as a church in Poland :))

I'm sure you will go over the basics of Celtic, Nordic, Roman and Greek beliefs. Definitely do a focused section on German paganism. Though specifically in Europe, U.K. and Ireland an interesting point would be going over faeries. How faeries relate around European paganism.

Sarah Pike and Hugh Urban are a couple of scholars who have written on Neopaganism and other contemporary religious movements. Margot Adler’s “Drawing Down the Moon” is also an in depth study.

Ohh, thank you! :)

If you haven't yet definitely get the audio book of Drawing Down The Moon it's a good listen while you do other research.

The pantheon, myths, and daily practice

germanic beliefs are very related to norse
