Germanic and Slavic Paganisms

In this timely examination, the contributors to this book explore the complexities of contemporary Slavic and Germanic Paganisms. The book reveals the dual potential for both far-right, ethno-purist and nationalistic movements as well as inclusive visions for social and ecological change. The sections of this book focus on three key areas: re-evaluating what we knew about contemporary Paganism reassessing the social threat and impact of radical Paganism exploring positive solutions and ideological influence emerging from contemporary Paganism. These chapters provide a rich resource for all parties by bridging the gap between academia, governmental institutions and Pagan communities. With suggestions on how we can mitigate and overcome the potential security threats connected to radical forms of Paganisms, this book shows how minority groups are advancing solutions to global challenges.
