you will get as many different answers as you will find traditions of paganism.
for me and my gorve. we see it as the combination of male (sun)and female (moon) energy. rituals held at this time are very powerful and the viel bewtween the physical and astral world is easire to cross at this time.
that is my tradition. you will find many more.

Not all pagans participate in Esbats, that is normally a rite for practitioners of various forms of witchcraft.
Among those that follow the Nordic gods, it is believed that the sun and moon are chased across the sky by two giant wolves who are attempting to swallow them. Eclipses are casued when one of the wolves gets close enough to either the sun or moon and it disappears birefly into the gaping maw of the beast. At the time or Ragnarok, the wolves will catch and swallow the sun and moon.
