Pagan Fiction Literature 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.

Any person that subscribes to the classical ways of the world can be referred to as a pagan. Even the people that do not adhere fully to their religious ways can be classified as pagans generally. This widens the group profoundly. The actual paganism community has a number of beliefs of its own and these are basically from way back in history. They originate from pre modern Europe.

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.

This fiction literature relates to cultural ways, beliefs and traditions of Hellenes. This cannot be classified as an exact literature. The writing of pagans ways in novels and other forms of writing for entertainment is popular today. They are more of fantasy writings in nature and are mostly intended for the children. Some adults are known to highly enjoy them as well.

Imaginations run wild and a lot of exotic ideas of gods and super humans came into existence. The fictional books were filled with such. The existence of magical powers and creatures form the basis of these books. Adventurous stories were told about these people and their quests. This is one of the aspects that make paganism a very interesting religion.

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.

In conclusion, this form of literature and movies are the most widely read and watched respectively today. This is not only the pagans themselves but all other religious affiliations too. Much as it is fiction, when brought to life in books and movies, it can be highly captivating to the mind. Both adults and children enjoy them alike.
