There's quite a few plot devices built into the Primeval Ideal, but an understated one is that it fulfills the generic cosmic horror trope of "learning certain topics make you go crazy-cuckoo-bonkers-bananas" in how it functions.

There's numerous reasons why eldritch knowledge might make you go off the deep end spanning the gulf of "the human mind was not built to process this information" to "reading this changes you so fundamentally that you can no longer relate to anyone else who isn't in the know," but reading something so spooky that you inexplicably and immediately go insane is, arguably, a little silly. Now, if reading this information caused a nightmare brain spider to start invading your dreams to eat your thoughts, a sudden descent into madness is a little more understandable.

writing tips - pagan religion

YO! pagan religions are hella cool!

They're also tricky to write.

Lemme help.

What is a pagan religion?

Pagan religions revolve around the natural world. The deities are associated with natural occurrences, and the ritual of life and death is crucial.

Life and death practices of pagan religions are usually the centerfold. Rituals in the religion have to do with sacrifice and natural procession in the environment.

Common themes:

hunter/hunted

dawn/dusk

stars!

growth and rot

Like any religion, there are two sides to every coin (god). If there is light, there must be dark. If there is heat, there must be freeze as well.

Worship? Devotion? Fear?

Another difference between pagan religions and monotheistic or polytheistic religions is the attitude of address. In mono/poly, it's a feeling of 'I will devote myself to you because i want to better myself and I believe it will assist that'. Pagan religions have an understanding of 'this is your world, we're just living in it. you are responsible for everything, so i pray to you to ask for protection from the side effects and to allow me to stay alive.'

it's less of a power thing and more of a survival/coexistence thing. Neither is bad! they're just different, and it's a sizeable difference.

Pagans believe that the world is joyful and of creation, not of suffering. There is no sacrifice to 'devote yourself' there is sacrifice to show appreciation and exchange for inhabiting the god's space.

Pagans are very earth conscious and aware of how the effects of their lives impact the holy world. Often, they are rustic societies that give back as much as possible.

A pantheon is not the same as pagan.

Just because they are both polytheistic doesn't mean they function the same way. There are differences!! Please research!!

Like I said in my pantheon religion post, it's important to do this research to do the religion justice. People who are pagan don't want to read sloppily, under-researched presentations of their beliefs. That doesn't help with media misrepresentation.
