Looking at the ways different Pagans still celebrate the old ways

 Some interesting costumes from folk celebrations being carried forward in Pagan festivals in Europe.

 Photographer Charles Fregur titled these Wilder Man. HERE.

There doesn't appear to be explanations for each photo. But they are amazing, I think.

I scrolled down and was amazed at the diversity of the hand made costumes.

      Since I can never tell a joke, either forget the right wording, or the punch line itself...I try to be interesting!

    Is there a large Pagan community in Europe? These photos are like looking into days gone by, but they are today.

      That's a good question, and I don't have the answer.
