What's the difference betwee Paganism and Neo-paganism?

Druidry and Wicca have solid parameters, formalized liturgies, and levels that must be formally studied. Even in solitary Wicca, there are defined things that make the practice BE Wicca, such as specific rites that are included in every ritual, specific holidays that are celebrated, and specific ethical norms, etc. While Wicca isn't out of the question for you, honestly if you want to be a solitary, being an eclectic Pagan is pretty much the way to go. This allows you to borrow heavily from other Pagan religions such as Druidry, Wicca, Asatru, or what have you, but you are not constrained by their conventions.

You can make your own path as you learn and grow spiritually and in your practice.

Druidism" isn't a neo-pagan religion. Celtic paganism worships their gods in whatever way you wish and they don't do 'magic'. Neo-Paganism is an umbrella term that embraces All the European tribal religions from pre-Christian times along with Wicca, which is a modern Dualistic religion that says there is one lord and one lady who are personified in all the various other Old Gods.

I would say your best bet would be to become what is known as an Eclectic Pagan. You can worship nature and use the Old Gods as symbols and not have to worry about prescribed rituals, etc. Most all pagans follow the Wheel of the Year and many, though not all, believe in reincarnation in some form.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
