Modern pagan music (also called neopagan music) is music created for, or strongly influenced by, contemporary Pagan spiritualities and nature-reverent traditions. It draws on mythic narratives, seasonal cycles, and ritual practice, and can range from intimate chant and folk song to choral, ambient, and even heavier styles. Stylistically it is eclectic: British and Baltic folk revivals, world/indigenous musics, new age and ambient sound design, and classical idioms have all shaped its sound. Lyrics often reference deities, rites, and poetry from Norse, Celtic, Baltic and other European traditions, or celebrate the Wheel of the Year. Performances can be communal (circle singing, call-and-response) or staged concerts employing reconstructed instruments and theatrical ritual elements.
