Mme Helena Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. Its teachings were based on Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Neo-Platonic thought, and ancient Egyptian religion. Pagan philosophies, which venerated Nature and were polytheistic, began to be seen as sophisticated contributions to contemporary spirituality. In Germany Schlegel and Schelling in particular were attracted to the nature religion which they saw behind traditional folk customs, and at the beginning of the 20th century Guido von Liszt pioneered the study of the runes. It is almost impossible to speak of Paganism with generalising. There is great variety not only between, but also within the various Pagan traditions. Some scholars refer to Paganisms rather than Paganism.

Nature-based: Some pagan religions have a concept of the divinity of nature, which they view as a manifestation of the divine, not as the fallen creation found in dualistic cosmology.It is to Acid Bath’s immense credit that so consistently high is the quality of composition, that it is difficult to single out any particular song as the album’s peak – instead the album is a mountain range, a vista of pinnacles stretching as far as the eye can see, each one offering a different and unique perspective, but stunningly impressive when viewed as a whole. On any given listen, attention could be drawn to the almost celebratory classic metal riff buried midway through the glacial doom of ‘Graveflower’, the industrial breakdown and clanging mechanical percussion embellishing the climax of the otherwise brutally death metal ‘Locust Spawning’, or the triumphant d-beat hardcore chugging of ‘New Corpse’. The next, however, might focus instead on the petrifying, and raw sludge of ’13 Fingers’, or the merauding riff and coruscating vocal of ‘Diäb Soulé’. Paegan Terrorism Tactics bears the unmistakeable mark of many a great album, and continues to reveal itself many years and listens after its initial release. Despite its positive attributes, the pegan diet also has some downsides that are worth considering. Unnecessary restrictions

Paganism found an ally in the ecological and feminist movements of the 1960s. Pagan philosophies appealed to many eco-activists, who also saw Nature as sacred and recognised the Great Goddess as Mother Nature.
