Wessen Paganism

Wessen Paganism, or simply Paganism, is the indigenous religion of Wessex and the Wessen People. Evolved from Anglo-Saxon Germanic Paganism, Wessen Paganism serves more as a source of mythology, worship and spirituality rather than a moral code of guidelines for life, however does have certain attributes that have influenced morals of followers.

Wessen Paganism is a polytheistic religion, based around the worship of deities known as the ése (singular ós). In the past, there has been a belief in supernatural creatures inhabiting the region, including Dragons, Wyverns, Elves and Nicor, however in modern Wessen Paganism these are thought of more as a novelty. The belief system involves fate, or ''Wyrd. Pagans believe that everyone has their destiny mapped out for them by the ése'', which includes inanimate objects. Pagan Worship usually takes place outside, in sacred areas, which may be Hills, Fields, Forests or bodies of water, however many people may keep a small shrine in their garden or in their home for worship if sacred places are inaccessable.
