The term 'pagan' comes from the Latin word 'paganus' which means, in short, a country man. In contemporary society the word 'pagan' is an umbrella term encompassing many polytheistic earth-based religions including Asatru, wicca, druidry and hereditary witchcraft.
Most pagans mark their calenders by the eight fold year, with four major festivals and four minor. Solstices/equinox festivals are also recognised and celebrated.

Originally spelt 'magick' on the end by Crowley to differentiate it from stage 'magic', the art of magick is difficult to define, yet can best be described as the ability to manipulate what is in the material world by will. Some people use tools and others visualisation, some practice solitary and others in covens. Magick is universal.
So you practice magick then?

Revived in the eighteenth centuary, the druid tradition stems back to the time of the celts where the druids took on the role of prophets, teachers and they also led rituals. In the late 1980s psychologist Phillip Gomm-Carr became the head of the British Druid order.
Druidry is a polytheistic earth based religion that follows the mythology of the celts. Contemporary druidry has an eight-fold year that includes four fire festivals. It's a religion based on peace and reverence of nature and the ancestors.
