Abstract

Postmodern sensitivity, together with globalization has brought about not only the revival of religiosity, but also an intense process of creation and re-creation of spiritual movements and organizations around the world. In the ideological void of post-totalitarian Central-Eastern Europe religious streams sometimes intertwine with nationalist movements returning to pre-Christian Pagan roots. The comparative study of Romanian and Hungarian Neopagan communities with an ethnocentric or 'Ethno-Pagan' ideology is an exploratory research aimed at mapping the similarities and the differences. It also look at their connections to political movements, to radical right ideologies, and conspiracy theories as well as their general suspicion towards official establishment discourses and their ambiguous relations to mainline Christianity.
