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.

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
