PAGANISE Meaning and Definition

1. Paganise is a verb that refers to the act of embracing or adopting pagan beliefs, customs, or practices, often in place of or alongside one's previous religious or spiritual beliefs. The term is derived from the word "pagan," which historically referred to individuals who adhered to polytheistic religions, commonly practiced in ancient times prior to the spread of Christianity.

   When one chooses to paganise, they may incorporate various rituals, traditions, ceremonies, and symbols associated with paganism into their own spiritual or religious framework. This could include worshiping multiple deities, observing seasonal or nature-based festivals, engaging in magical practices, or exploring divination techniques. Paganising can be seen as a personal journey of spiritual exploration and self-discovery, where individuals seek to connect more deeply with nature, tap into ancient wisdom, or explore alternative spiritual paths.

   Paganism itself encompasses a wide range of belief systems, including but not limited to Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, and Shamanism. The decision to paganise is often driven by an individual's personal affinity for nature, mythology, and the desire for a more experiential and mystical spirituality.

   Paganising can be an individualistic or communal endeavor, with practitioners seeking like-minded individuals or joining established pagan communities to celebrate and honor their shared beliefs and practices. The act of paganising can vary greatly from one person to another, as it is a deeply personal and individual choice that reflects one's own spiritual and philosophical needs and desires.

2. To turn or convert to heathenism.

Etymology of PAGANISE

The word "paganise" is derived from the noun "pagan", which originated from the Late Latin word "paganus", meaning "rustic" or "villager". Its primary usage referred to someone who practiced a non-Christian religion or held beliefs that differed from the mainstream Christian faith. In the process of forming the verb "paganise", the suffix "-ize" was added, denoting the act of turning something or someone into a pagan, or adopting pagan beliefs or practices. Thus, "paganise" can be understood as the action of making something or someone pagan or pagan-like.
