List of Neopagan movements

Modern paganism, also known as "contemporary" or "neopagan", encompasses a wide range of religious groups and individuals. These may include old occult groups, those that follow a New Age approach, those that try to reconstruct old ethnic religions, and followers of the pagan religion of Wicca.

Witchcraft
Main articles: Wicca and Contemporary witchcraft

Wicca originated in 1940s Britain and became the mainstream of Neopaganism in the United States in the 1970s. There are two core traditions of Wicca which originated in Britain, Gardnerian and Alexandrian, which are sometimes referred to as British Traditional Wicca. From these two arose several other variant traditions. Wicca has also inspired a great number of other witchcraft traditions in Britain, Europe and the United States, most of which base their beliefs and practices on Wicca. Many movements are influenced by the Movement of the Goddess, and New Age and feminist worldviews.

gollark: All the computing is offloaded to Google via a little-known feature in Google Sheets.
gollark: Ah, but I do, since I want to work out what the original *encoded* frame was and avoid having to lossily compress it again.
gollark: Oh, I don't actually *use* it, when I want to download a video I just copy down the values of each pixel in each frame and use z3 to work out what the frames must be.
