Undoubtedly, we all know about the main threat that any sect poses. This is by no means a loss of apartments, money and other property. Any sect causes spiritual and moral harm to a person, harm to his mind and his future. Every year their number grows, to the point that from one sect another is born, as happened in the brotherhood of Vissarion, where the “priests” broke away. The main objective of this manual is a critical analysis of new religions using the example of paganism, which resumed its activity several years ago. This is my debut as a sectologist. I had no goal to insult or humiliate beliefs, history, convictions and specific individuals, only a critical analysis of the teaching.
