Traditionalist School
Traditionalism, also known as the Traditionalist School, is a school of thought within perennial philosophy. Originating in the thought of René Guénon in the 20th century, it proposes that a single primordial, metaphysical truth forms the source for, and is shared by, all the major world religions. Unlike universalist forms of perennialism based on commonalities in religious experiences across cultures, Traditionalism posits a metaphysical unitary source known as Tradition which forms the basis for the major religions in their " orthodox" forms. Tradition has exoteric and esoteric dimensions. The exoteric aspects of a tradition are primarily represented by its ceremonies, rituals, and rules, whereas the esoteric aspects are concerned with its spiritual and intellectual qualities. Traditionalists often compare the term "tradition" to the term " modern" or "modernity". While "traditional" refers to something that has a transcendent origin, "modern" signifies that which is di ...

Neopaganism In Italy
Neopaganism in Italy reportedly counted about 3,200 adherents in 2020, according to data from CESNUR, divided among numerous neopagan, neodruidic, neoshamanic, or neo-witchcraft religions, presenting themselves as a varied set of cults that claim to descend from or be inspired by the pagan religions of classical or earlier eras History Traces of ancient Roman and Mediterranean religions survive through the Osirian Egyptian Order (OOE), which originated from priests who fled Alexandria around 391 CE after the destruction of the Serapeum and settled in Naples. The OOE preserved Greco-Roman and Egyptian ritual traditions continuously over the centuries. Giuliano Kremmerz was initiated into the OOE in the late 19th century, and founded the Brotherhood of Myriam, which directly descends from the OOE. This phenomenon can be understood as a form of survival, as opposed to revival, of ancient ritual practices, and it has influenced some modern pagan groups in Italy. Interest in re ...

Religious studies, Scholars of religion may study the phenomenon as a movement divided into different religions, while others study neopaganism as a decentralized religion with an array of Religious denomination, denominations.

Roman Religion
Religion in ancient Rome consisted of varying imperial and provincial religious practices, which were followed both by the people of Rome as well as those who were brought under its rule. The Romans thought of themselves as highly religious, and attributed their success as a world power to their collective piety () in maintaining good relations with the gods. Their polytheistic religion is known for having honoured many deities. The presence of Greeks on the Italian peninsula from the beginning of the historical period influenced Roman culture, introducing some religious practices that became fundamental, such as the of Apollo. The Romans looked for common ground between their major gods and those of the Greeks (), adapting Greek myths and iconography for Latin literature and Roman art, as the Etruscans had. Etruscan religion was also a major influence, particularly on the practice of augury, used by the state to seek the will of the gods. According to legends, most of ...
