The overarching contemporary pagan revival movement which focuses on nature-revering/living, pre-Christian religions and/or other nature-based spiritual paths, and frequently incorporating contemporary liberal values.

-'''[[Thoth]]''' is an ancient Egyptian deity. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and his wife was Ma'at. He was the god of the [[moon]], wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment. His Greek equivalent is [[Hermes Trismegistus|Hermes]].
+'''[[Paganism]]''' is a term first used in the fourth century by early [[Christianity|Christians]] for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism or ethnic religions other than [[Judaism]]. The overarching contemporary pagan revival movement which focuses on nature-revering/living, pre-Christian religions and/or other nature-based spiritual paths, and frequently incorporating contemporary liberal values. This definition may include groups such as [[Wicca]], Neo-Druidism, Heathenry, and Slavic Native Faith.
-Thoth's chief temple was located in the city of Hermopolis. Later known as el-Ashmunein in Egyptian Arabic, the Temple of Thoth was mostly destroyed before the beginning of the [[Christianity|Christian]] era, but its very large pronaos was still standing in 1826.
-Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in [[Egyptian religion]], such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at) who stood on either side of [[Ra]]'s solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, the art of [[ritual magic]], the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.
