The '''''[[Book of Enoch]]''''' is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch contains unique material on the origins of [[demon]]s and Nephilim, telling why some [[angel]]s fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.
'''[[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.


Three books are traditionally attributed to Enoch, including the distinct works 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, although none of the three books are considered canonical scripture by the majority of [[Judaism|Jewish]] or [[Christianity|Christian]] bodies.


The older sections I Enoch (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300–200 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to 100 BC.
