I thought paganism was worship of nature and shit like that.

The worship of nature can indeed be found in many forms of paganism.

However, there are many religions that regard Nature as something in which the divine or spiritual can be found. In fact there are very few religions which don't.

You might be interested in looking into religious naturalism and/or spiritual naturalism

you know, you can see something divine in everything. its all little miracles. i dont know if a tree has a soul or if a rat has a soul. i dont give a shit about talking to a snake. you know, whats he going to tell me, how cool mice taste? but animal spirits is something else, like essence of animals. eagles freedom, bears endurance, snakes quickness etc. thats traits.. maybe you can worship it, and emulate it. but then its all coming from you, not like a bear ghost comes from valhalla and helps you power through the pain.
or does it???
i dont know. i dont think so but i dont know 100%. visualization. its all from us. and everyone is all us. so we are everyone.

Actually there is no middle ground in my opinion on a belief in Jesus Christ in small towns in a southern state for the vast majority, you either are some type of christian and nod in approval when a fanatic talks to you, or you are consider a possible satanist, even if they have no idea what either religion is.

To mention you have a strong worship in nature or a belief in the power of nature would label you a believer in witches or warlocks, if you have free thought about things you need for your own well being to keep your study to yourself this is my opinion
