Question

Recently i learned from the web that there are two types of pagans the white and the dark pagans is it true ? If so what tradition they follow ? are they organised ? Any links?

I would like to know about the dark pagans and what traditions are for them? I know wicca is not permitting evil acts like harming others. But what dark pagans believe in? Is there any tradition and what are their beliefs?

Independa.. i'm trying to learn something here. Your NON Existing brain can't see that this is an actual question. You are too lame and i don't blame you. It's not your fault.

Answer 1

Yes, there is a difference between "White Lighters" and "Dark Paganism". Kind of like the difference between a New Age Hippie and a Goth. Dark paganism isn't evil, it just embraces the darker side of things. See here http://www.waningmoon.com/darkpagan/

If you were to categorize Pagans I better way is this. You have Neo-Pagans and Reconstructionalist Pagans. Some are in the process of creating new religions based on older ones and take bits and pieces from various sources and cultures. And then you have us Reconstructionalist Pagans who are reviving ancient religions and do not mix and match.

Answer 2

I think a more useful distinction is between neopagans and reconstructionists. The former is comprised of people making up a new religion, inspired by the past. The latter is trying to resurrect ancient paganisms as they were actually practiced.

Organised? LOL. Organizing pagans is like herding cats.

Answer 3

Do they have to divide the 'pagans" up to? Why not just say they are pagans, and leave them alone? Why is religion so obsessed with counting numbers? Doesn't that make divisions among them? Do they have to put labels on everything? Well-I never answered your non question so I'll probably get a violation notice, sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

Answer 4

Those are the two main branches, but they are much more divided.

White pagans are those that cast spells for the good of something. Black pagans are those that cast spells for the destruction of something. Most pagan's mingle in both worlds to an extent

Answer 5

Some will say two/kinds for good or bad...I say ,a pagan is a pagan..Anything that is not of God is Evil......

Answer 6

There is an enormous difference between, say, Wicca and Crowley. While they control identical forces, Wicca is not inherently evil. Curiously, Crowleyans all claim that their way is not evil and all others are...but you can judge them for yourself.
