Abstract
Neo-paganism, a phenomenon which started in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century, proliferated in Western Europe and North America during the second half of the twentieth century. Today, it is represented by a diversity of religions seeking to recreate and revive extinct European pre-Christian polytheistic religions, largely based on celebrating the seasonal cycles of Nature. Alternative, neo-pagan interpretations of archaeological sites continue to be rejected by the majority of academic archaeologists and historians. Within the bewildering diversity of neo-pagan groups the most frequently associated with prehistoric landscapes and monuments are the druids. This article discusses druidism and Stonehenge, neo-pagan landscapes, and Asatru and Christianity in Scandinavia.
