	Talk:Judeo-Paganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I am a Reform Jew (with some interest in Paganism) in the middle of a largely Conservadox enclave at Rutgers University, and am therefore not in as good a position as some others might be (such as Melissa Oringer, for example) to tell the movement's story (if it has a story).
		so, while the intro claims that these are groups trying to reconstruct Ancient Near Eastern (pre-Mosaic) paganism, there is no such evidence in the links.
		I am currently e-mailing folks for help on this new page, as I don't know as much on this topic as some folks might.

		The official pagan cults were dead but pagan spirit remained indomitable, and for centuries it kept resurfacing in astounding forms and in multiple fashions: during the period of Renaissance, during Romanticism, before the Second World War, and today, when Christian Churches increasingly recognize that their secular sheep are straying away from their lone shepherds.

	Neopaganism -
		Since the term Pagan was coined from an Abrahamic viewpoint, summarizing non-Abrahamic religions, Neopaganism may be defined as "post-Christian" new religious movements (or, in the recent case of Judeo-Paganism, "post-Judaistic"), and is pronouncedly a modern phenomenon with its roots in early 19th century Romanticism.
		The usage of the term is further complicated by paganism apparently having arisen in the 18th or 19th century at the earliest as a term for a primitive state of religious belief, rather than a group of beliefs.

	The Path Towards The Sacred
		That is to say that paganism, far from being characterized by a denial of spirituality or a rejection of the sacred, consists on the contrary in the choice (and the reappropriation) of another spirituality, of another form of the sacred.
		Paganism is not only a matter of accumulating knowledge about the beliefs of the various regions of Europe, nor can we ignore the features that distinguish them, often profoundly.
		Paganism also requires, above all, identifying the projection of those beliefs, the transposition of a certain number of values which, as heirs to a culture, belong to us and concern us directly.
