Ecologias políticas do sagrado no contexto do paganismo contemporâneo em Portugal

Résumé

Before the contemporary socioecological instability, several voices and movements engage in debates about a possible future. In the context of contemporary paganism, an heterogenous religious and spiritual movement that includes several practices, currents and interlocutors these echoes are urgent. Considering nature as a sacred entity and celebrating it, inspiring themselves and political movements such as environmentalism and ecofeminism, and calling for healing, regeneration and empowerment, both personal and collective are central dimensions of their religious, spiritual and political lives. In the intersection of the dialogues between the sacred, ecology and the political, they creatively reflect, create and act in the search for balanced relationships with the environment, and for spaces where they can experience their gender identity. This article aims to reflect how the sacred dialogues with the ecological and political from the religious and spiritual experience of pagans in Portugal. And how these relate with the ecological setting they live in, and are affected and politically position themselves while they search for solutions for the socioecological instability that contemporaneity experience.
