Annotated Bibliography: What is the Difference between Paganism & Satanism?

The main arguments of this article would be the differences between Paganism and Satanism and
the differences between the religious signs. The point of this article is to explain the differences
between the two religions and the differences of the religions signs. Pagan, formerly known as
Wicca, and the pentacle in Wicca along with Satanism and the Satanist pentagram are briefly
talked about and described. If asked about this article, I would tell how the two religions are
different and how they originated. I would explain how even the pentagrams of the two religions
are different and what each one stands for.
The source is definitely objective. It is reliable but doesnt hold enough information needed for
the final draft research paper. This source mainly talks about how Paganism and Satanism
originated. I currently dont have any other sources but the other sources will probably go into
more detail about the differences in the religions. The goal of this source is to explain the
originations and symbolic meanings of Paganism and Satanism.
This source is helpful to me because it allows me to begin my explanation of how Paganism is
different than Satanism. It fits into my research by allowing me to get a sturdy start on the
research of the differences. It helps me shape my argument by having proof that Paganism is
very much so different compared to Satanism. I can use this in my research by putting in a few
facts about the pentagrams of Paganism and Satanism. The pentagrams too are very different by
inversions and meanings.

This article is about how Paganism is relatively close to Satanism in some ways. The article
explains the view of the two religions from a Christians point of view. The article argues over
the differences that are actually between Paganism and Satanism and how the two religions are
so much alike. I would explain this article in a way that some could understand easily without
covering the basis of both religions. Paganism, in a Christians point of view, is the same thing as
Satanism but with different titles and symbols.
The source is not as helpful as it probably should be but it helps explain some differences in
Paganism and Satanism. This source, compared with the first source, compares some of the same
differences and similarities. I would have to say this source is definitely biased because coming

from a Christians point of view, if one practices a religion other than Christianity, its viewed as
Satanist. The information can be reliable depending on how its looked at. The goal of this source
is to explain how every religion views other religions as Satanic.
The source is not very helpful to me but I did find it as interesting as the previous source. It helps
shape my argument by stating that every religion, especially Paganism and Satanism, is exactly
the same yet different in so many ways. I can use this source by explaining some of the
similarities between Paganism and Satanism to better explain the differences. This source has
definitely changed the way I think about my topic.
