When ‘Pagan’ Becomes a Political Insult: A Pagan’s Response to Josh Hammer

Josh Hammer recently labeled Tucker Carlson part of the “neo-pagan right” — but what does that even mean? In this video, I respond as a modern Pagan to Hammer’s misuse of “Pagan” as a political insult.

Paganism isn’t a buzzword for decadence, moral decay, or political rebellion. It’s a living set of spiritual traditions with deep respect for nature, the cycles of life, and the sacred in all things. When media figures like Hammer weaponize “Pagan” to describe their ideological opponents, they erase real people and real faiths.
