Pagan religious study.
Hello all!
I am undertaking a study of pagan/neopagan religions and I would like to know what some of your "holy texts" would be and how I could get them. Please post the name of the religion and the name of the text and any info or comment you wish. Thank ya!

Hi, Silicon!
I'm afraid that most pagans write their own 'holy texts'- some call them 'book of shadows' or by another name. I'm not sure if we have any official holy texts.

That would be a lot easier if we had one
 As far as I know, there is no pagan 'holy book'.

Would you like ones that we, individually, consider holy? Or maybe books that might be good to read in order to gain an understanding of our path? (We tend to be book-oriented people, hehee!)

Thier is the Wiches Bible by Jannet and Stuart Fannar.
My favorite author is Konstantinos. Allthough I have to agree with Feathers, that thier aren't any 'Holy Text', such as a Bible, Koran, or Torah.

Well I'm really a different sort of pagan around these parts (whether I fit in this subforum or not is up for debate) but we do have religious texts of sorts. I'd recomend checking out the Poetic and Prose Eddas, the Havamal, and some of our many Norse sagas. You can also see all sorts of crazy old historical documents that will help illustrate it all. We Heathens sure love historical validity.

with us our religious scriptures are passed from master to apprentice, we memorize these, and pass them to the next line. suffice to say i cannot give you any, even if i did feel like typing for a very long time i have obligations that prevent me from telling you. i apologize

Depends on what you mean by "pagan." For early Mediterranean area pagans, Plato's writings were somewhat holy, as were many Hermetic texts. The same held true for many Gnostics (who also incorporated Paul's writings).
Pagan is such a broad term.
