Norse paganism 

A religion that is a revival of the worship of all the gods of the Norse. Norse pagans often adopt the same world view and outlook on life as the vikings.

paganism 

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.

paganism 

A nature-based religion.

Can be seen as having one deity or many, but never any kind of "devil" as this is a purely Christian concept invented much later.
"Is Wicca a form of Paganism?"
"I guess it is, in the same way that Catholisism is a form of Christianity."

Pheodor Pagnusson 

Pagnusson is frequently seen near the penalty spot where he lies on the ground as soon as a defender comes within 3 metres of him. Whenever a penalty is awarded to the team, he steals the ball from his teammates and begins to cry when they tell him that he has bottled enough penalties this season. He has a tendency to magically disappear as soon as his team loses possession of the ball.
Coach: Pheodor Pagnusson missed the penalty again. We need to sub him off before he vanishes
Pheodor Pagnusson: *Cries while begging the ref for a penalty"

paganesque 

(adj.) 1) a term used to pinpoint those things relating to renaissance festivals, Wiccan religion, new age aesthetics (music, art, trappings), etc. 2) what is actually meant when most people refer to something as "gay" (or some other homophobic descriptor) despite the fact that no self-respecting homosexual would ever go near something so heinously tacky and sad. 3) of or relating to the aesthetics or philosophies of the neo-pagan movement (this can also include pseudo Native American trappings such as imitation bone chokers, dreamcatchers hung from rear view mirrors, etc.).
1) That wolf and lightning t-shirt is so paganesque. 2) The combination of Hindu and pre-Christian Celtic philosophy is obviously the mark of a paganesque mind.

the act of being pagan

group of mostly polytheistic, pre-Christian religions
Wicca is a polytheistic religion, because Wiccans honor not only a god and a goddess, but all of nature as well.
