Modern paganism, also known as "contemporary" or "neopagan", encompasses a wide range of religious groups and individuals. These may include oldoccult groups, those that follow aNew Age approach, those that try to reconstruct oldethnic religions, and followers of the pagan religion orWicca.
Heathenism (also Heathenry, or Greater Heathenry), is a blanket term for the whole Germanic neopagan movement. Various currents and denominations have arisen over the years within it. Some of these denominations followwhite supremacy, and some of the groups listed here followfolkish ideology.
Wicca originated in 1940s Britain (UK) and became the mainstream ofneopaganism 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 traditions inBritain,Europe and theUnited States, most of which base their beliefs and practices on Wicca. Many movements are influenced by theMovement of the Goddess, andNew Age andfeminist worldviews.
