Abstrakt
Polish Neo-Paganism is a wide cultural and social movement with clear religious
features, referring to the pre-Christian Slavic culture and religion of Polish ancestry.
In its mainstream it is nationalist, proslavic and pantheistic. The biggest infl uence on
the Polish Neo-Paganism had Zadruga group and Jan Stoigniew Stachniuk. The achievements
of this environment, as well as of a group of Stanisław Szukalski, determined
the perception of Polish Neo-Paganism as nationalistic. However, this intellectual current
contains a much broader spectrum of political and social views. A prime example
is Józef Niećko’s “słowianizm”, which can be described as a peasant Neo-Paganism and
Jan Hempel’s “no-god religion” (“religia bezboska”), which is a left-wing trend in Polish
neo-paganism.
In “The Piast’s Sermons” (Kazania Piastowe, 1912) Hempel sketched his concept of
a new religion and a new morality – religion without the God, religion of the freedom,
religion of the human “I”. He found its model in the Slavic pagan religion. Mythic Piast
was for Hempel the desired ideal of man – free, acting in accordance with his own will
(harmonious with the tendencies of the Universe), strong, heroic, hospitable, respectful
of others, working. This Piast’s dignifi ed ethics of freedom was recognized by Hempel as
exemplary and contrasted with its anthithesis, which degrades human being – the Christianity.
