Description
Paganism in Brazil developed with Pagan Witchcraft in the 1950s and saw a substantial growth in the 1990s. The introduction of Wicca, Druidry, and neo-shamanism, each adapting uniquely within the Brazilian cultural landscape, has led to a diverse and evolving Pagan community. This development has been facilitated by literature, media, and the internet, with a noticeable shift towards embracing indigenous practices and addressing cultural criticism in recent years.
