Is there a pagan church? Are they associated with the wicca sect? What do they worship if it is that there are pagan alters......What do they sacrifice or do they just burn incense?? I know the meaning of the word has traveled far from its original context but I am not sure of its true meaning now and I would like to know. Thankyou.

Wicca is a Pagan sect. Although it is the biggest single Pagan sect right now, most Pagans are not Wiccan. There is one Pagan seminary, and one Pagan religious school open today in America. There are several Pagan retreat centers, but I don't know of an actual brick-and-mortar church, and I've looked. It's hard to get churches built, or purchased, because we do not have a central governing body. None of our sects do.

I could be wrong but it's my belief that Pagan's worship nature, and are not usually associated with Wicca. I would find some good books on the subject, or look for some informative websites.

TO BE A PAGAN IS TO KEEP MENS TRADITIONAL HOLIDAYS AND FORSAKE GODS HOLYDAYS:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go.
AND A FORM OF EASTER
Eze 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

To me, being a Pagan myself, it simply means I am a believer in Nature. Being a Pagan does not have to involve religion in any way. It's just a love of all that is natural. It does seem as though most people nowadays seem to think it means either a satanist(xtian view) or a Wiccan (uneducated view). It's quite sad, really.
Dear, oh dear. Did you bunk off when they were telling you the history of christian holidays, ernest77h? It seems so...do you *really* think jesus was born in Dec...??? lol

Nothing has changed over the years. Its still the same. Worshiping anyone or anything other than God is pagan worship. Its in the volume of the Book. go there for wisdom and understanding. KJV Bible.
