Second, you can be a pagan wherEVER you are duh! Third, on a more personal note, I feel like it does have Wiccan themes. But thats just because I see it that way ^_^ I agree with that person I do get chills listening to this song. pagan? | Reviewer: Keith | 6/22/09 The song is just about nature - it has nothing to do with wiccan. Speaking pedantically about the true meaning of 'Pagan', a pagan is a country dweller - someone who lives by agriculture and worships the gods/spirits of fertility, weather, seasons etc. If you are a city dweller, you can't really be a pagan - pagans grow things. Try 'Animist' instead. Religion | Reviewer: The Poet | 6/6/09 Whether or not this song is Wiccan, it's still an excellent song with deep meaning. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just my opinion. I love the energy of Mother Earth and Within Temptation. I get more of an adrenaline rush listening to Jillian. I love that song!! I don't think this song can be loved and understood by just one group. I am Christian and I love Within Temptation as well as Nightwish, Evanescence, and Superchick (the oddball in this group of bands!) Love it! | Reviewer: Wolfman | 5/12/09 The song is amazing and even though I wouldn't say it's written deliberately to seem like a Wiccan anthem, it makes sense, doesn't it? Wicca is a beautiful religion and maybe could be our only way to stop all the bad things happening to our planet. I'm glad to see so many open-minded people here, too. And, of course - WT rocks! paganism | Reviewer: Big Al | 3/31/09 i thought pagan was a term for religions that are not christian, like ancient roman and greek shit. And wicca, whatever, also for some reason this song was used in KOTT, (knights of the temple). not that its relevant to any of this. Beautiful song. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/08 I do love the song, excellent lyrics and beautiful voices. BUT. For those who would correct someone calling themselves Pagan, true, real Pagans may have died out quite a long time ago but there is a lot of negativity and assumed immaturity related to the word 'Wiccan' and a lot of people, especially if you're younger, will label it a phrase. Pagan is much more appropriate in those cases as it less represents a fad, and saying Neo-Pagan would give off the same result as saying Wiccan I would think. And no, I do not believe that this song has any religious reference, really; you could try and say that any song about nature, Mother Earth, etc. is Pagan/Wiccan/Neo-pagan and the like, just as you could say any song with the word 'god' in it has Christian reference. The terms and subjects have more meaning than just as religious symbols. Great | Reviewer: Erix | 11/8/08 First: this son is amazing. Perfect. Second: "pagan" is a term wich refers to those religious people whose beliefs are not those of the main world religions. It's a word you can use today, even though "neo-pagan" is more used. Wicca and neo-paganism is not the same. Wicca is only a neo-pagan religion (every wiccan is neo-pagan, not every neo-pagan is wiccan). amazing | Reviewer: Lei'Ana | 10/14/08 This song is amazin i covered it for my music solo and meet them at download. the band is amazing and have influeneced me in so many ways love them so much this song helped me through alot of stuff Pagan...? | Reviewer: Peachies420 | 10/11/08 For those claiming to be "Pagan" I just wanted to let you know there is no such thing as a Pagan today. Paganism was lost in the Christian over-ride many centuries ago. The only thing we are left with today is Wiccan, which is Neo-Paganism (AKA, Wicca is Pagan's daughter). So for you to refer to yourselves as "Pagan" is kinda... amatuer-ish? or... well you've gotten the point. Sorry, Didn't wanna rain on anybody's parade it's just a peeve of mine when someone today calls themself "Pagan". Oh, By the way, I should mention I'm Wiccan (14+ years). Don't want ya to think your being attacked yet again by yet another christian lol. Interesting | Reviewer: Erin | 9/16/08 First off I am pagan. Secondly, I have played this song over and over again. The only pagan thing in this song was the hole mother earth reference. The song was ment as a passage to people she has lost. This is her way of saying good bye to them.
