Not paganism like magic or devil worship. But like, ancient pagan religions. You know, like Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Norse, etc.
Sorry if this isnt in the correct section.

Yes. I think that you may be referring to the Pagan Reconstructionist religions. This site will explain some of them and at the end of the essay it gives links for more information:

This is a more updated site for Celtic Reconstructionism than some of the ones that they give:

Ummm.... yes. Any religion that isn't one of the Abrahamic religions is Pagan. So technically, even Buddhism is Pagan. And yes, there are still people who practice the old ways, but with a new twist.

Yes, I happen to be one of them. Reconstructionist Paganism is a little different than the more popular Neo-Paganism in that it's practiced in much the same way as the ancients did and we try to be as historically accurate as possible. I happen to be an Asatruar (Norse Pagan).
And just so there's no confusion, I have nothing against Neo-Pagans. :-)

Yes, I know a pagan who says that every tree and every rock has a spirit, but there is no Holy Spirit because if he admitted to the existence of a Holy Spirit he would have to admit that there is a real God, and pagans squirm at the mention of Jesus.

It's in the correct section.. this is about Religion and Spirituality.
And, yes.. people do still worship the old gods/goddesses today, all over the world.

Yes. In fact, I have numerous friends who are Khemetic, meaning they follow the Egyptian pantheon as closely as archeology has allowed them to recover the rituals.
Though I'm an atheist, it's through their knowledge of the Egyptian pantheon that I've come to consider myself (in a metaphorical sense, of course) a bastard of Sekhmet, protector-mother and inventor of genocide.

Devil worship isn't paganism.
Paganism is use to describe just about any non mainstream religion.
I practice Wicca, BTW; NROOGD, celtic based; witchcraft, and Shamanism, none of which have to do with the worshiping of devils of any kind.
