I know many indigenous religions are nature based, much like many pagan philosophies, and use rituals and magic, again paralleling paganism. I want to update the c/paganism side bar to be more welcoming and I would love to learn about various practices and beliefs of people who have been in touch with the land forever. Many European tribal religions are grouped with paganism however I have no clue how the rest of the worlds indigenous communities feel about being grouped the same way or discussing their beliefs with people walking other paths. I want to be welcoming and respectful so I would love some feedback.
My understanding of the definition of paganism is that it basically originates as meaning "not Christian" so, I could see that making sense from that perspective.
I assume he's referring to the original definition of "non-abrahamic religion", rather than the use by modern pagans to refer to their own beliefs.
