Paganism Film 1988: In 1988, the film "Paganism" was released, exploring the ancient religious practices and beliefs that fall under the umbrella of Paganism. Paganism is a broad term that encompasses a range of spiritual traditions, including Wicca, Druidism, and Heathenry, among others. The film takes viewers on a journey through various Pagan rituals, ceremonies, and gatherings, showcasing the diversity and richness of these ancient religions. It delves into the history and origins of Paganism, tracing its roots back to pre-Christian times when these beliefs were widely practiced throughout Europe. One of the central themes of the film is the celebration of nature and the worship of the Earth and its cycles. Paganism emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship with the natural world.

Paganism emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship with the natural world. The film also explores the role of women in Paganism, highlighting the power and respect given to female deities and the central role that women play in Pagan rituals and traditions. This portrayal of gender equality and empowerment stands in stark contrast to many other religious traditions.

Fantasy has taken the magic out of magic.

I've loved magic, horror, and the supernatural for a long time (big fan of Tolkein, Lovecraft, etc) and so I've been struggling lately to try and figure out why so much current fantasy (Sanderson, Hobb, for example) bores the hell out of me. Its been very frustrating, especially when fantasy seems on the cusp of a renaissance, to find yourself bored out of your mind. It wasn't until I started reading magical realism that I figured it out, that as the title says, a lot of modern fantasy has taken the magic out of magic.

I'll explain using Mistborn. In Mistborn, magic is has very rigid rules. Everyone knows it exists. Government programs use it for suppression. It's even powered by minerals that need to be mined. An extremely industrialized magic. It is, for all intents and purposes, just an alternative science. And so Mistborn is really just a matter of watching people use the science of their world to solve problems in a straightforward, very materialist and pragmatic way. Reading the book, I felt bored.

Just this week, I turned to magical realism and started reading A Murmur of Bees. It's set in our world, during the Spanish Flu epidemic. When it become clear that little Simonopio can speak to the bees that kept him company while he was abandoned as an infant, and that he can see the future, I felt that familiar rush of wonder. It was exciting and it drew me in! the reason is: his magic takes place in a world where it is not part of the natural order; it is a strange, mysterious intrusion, inexplicable and also wonderful! It bears that mark of total otherness from the quotidian world, something truly supernatural.

I get it, of course, different strokes for different folks. Some people love magic that is just actually alternative science, that's a mundane, well known part of the fantasy world inhabited by the protagonists. And you are not wrong to like what you like.

But I think there is room for more fantasy that treats magic as something truly outside of the natural order: that still confronts us with what is not understood (and maybe can't be), that upsets our materialistic understanding of the universe rather than supporting it.

Just thought I would submit this for discussion. Has anyone else felt this way? Does anyone have book suggestions where magic is still magic

Edit: Oh my God, thank you guys! This has been such an interesting conversation and I appreciate all the book suggestions so much. I'm a big reader, but it's been really hard to find books I can get her into lately, and this is great for me.

And thank you for the awards!

However, it is important to note that the film doesn't attempt to provide an exhaustive or comprehensive exploration of Paganism. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the practices and beliefs of these ancient religions, providing a starting point for further exploration and understanding. Overall, "Paganism" is a thought-provoking film that sheds light on a often misunderstood and marginalized spiritual tradition. It challenges mainstream perceptions of religion and offers an alternative perspective on spirituality and the connection between humans and the natural world..
