Pagan Thanksgiving is a name given to a spiritual and nature-based celebration of gratitude and harvest. It draws inspiration from ancient pagan traditions and beliefs. Paganism is a diverse collection of religious and spiritual practices that have their roots in pre-Christian Europe. In this context, Thanksgiving refers to a time of giving thanks for the harvest and expressing gratitude to the Earth and the deities associated with it. It is a recognition of the cyclical nature of life, where the harvest represents both abundance and the cycle of death and rebirth. Pagan Thanksgiving celebrations often involve rituals, ceremonies, and feasts that honor the land and the gifts it has provided.

The celebration of Pagan Thanksgiving is often tied to the changing seasons, particularly the autumn equinox. This is a time when the days shorten and the nights grow longer, symbolizing the shift from abundance to scarcity, from light to darkness. It is a spiritual reminder of the impermanence and cycles of life. Pagan Thanksgiving also embraces the concept of eco-spirituality, recognizing the sacredness of the Earth and the need to live in harmony with nature. This includes practicing sustainable agricultural methods, respecting animal and plant life, and promoting environmental stewardship. While the concept of Pagan Thanksgiving may vary among individuals and pagan traditions, its essence lies in expressing gratitude for the bounties of the Earth and the interconnection between all living beings. It serves as a reminder to honor nature, cultivate gratitude, and live in harmony with the Earth..
