Description

Pagan music draws from pre-Christian spiritual traditions and folklore, blending ancient instrumentation like drums and flutes with modern genres from folk to metal. The sound often evokes nature worship, mythology, and ritualistic atmospheres through chanting, medieval melodies, or ambient textures. It encompasses diverse styles unified by themes of earth-centered spirituality and ancestral connections.
