A vaguely defined term from the Latin word Poganus meaning countryman that has become an umbrella term for a group of reconstructed pre-Christian beliefs systems which are often nature centred. Followers of these belief systems share a wide variety of beliefs as these beliefs systems tend not to be formally structured and very focused on individual spirituality. Their beliefs can be polytheistic, animistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, bitheistic, nontheistic or a mixture of the former. Alternatively and less confusingly the term Neopagan can be used as the term has also been used for centuries as a derogotory term for any non-Abramic belief system.
Religions that have come to be considered (neo)pagan include; Wicca, Shamanism, Astatru(thought Asatruars seem to prefer the term Heathen) and, Druidism.

Get the Bangkok Padang mug.A surfers slang term used to define the point where the surfer is paddling diagonally to ride the wave. First derived from two words 'Paddle' and 'Angle' as the surfer is paddling on an angle in conjuction with the wave to get to a point where the surfer can then ride the wave.
Padangle is a word used mostly in Australia, Sydney around the Northern Beaches. Word is also shortened and said to Padang, Pang and Pangle as this is easier to say.
