What comes to mind when you hear the word “paganism”? For some your mind may travel back to Biblical times when Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth on Mount Carmel. Others may think of the early Roman empire who followed polytheism. It may take you to the Middle Ages or it may make you think of practices that are void of knowledge of the one true God which happen in remote villages around the world.

But did you know Paganism is running rampant right now in 2025 in the United States? There are those who celebrate Pagan Pride Day with events taking place in cities across the country.

Specifically there is an annual event called Paganicon where pagans from all over converge. The most recent Paganicon was held in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota. Our guest attended Paganicon 2025 last month and is here today with a report.
