It says original meaning in the article. Paganism came before Christianity. The original meaning is the 5 elements. Water, Fire, Earth, air, and soul. 64.207.252.249 (talk) 14:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
The word 'original' is not used anywhere in the article. The word 'origin' comes up twice, neither of them related to the symbol's meaning. If you want anything to be done about this, you're going to have to be specific about the wording you want changed. (You are also going to want to cite a source for where your original meaning is coming from.) GirthSummit (blether)14:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
For the original writer, do you have an ancient source which states that the meaning is the five elements in paganism? And which paganism is that, Greek religion, Roman religion or any of the middle eastern religions?
Ditto that! The ancient, Latin "pagan" translates into modern English as, "redneck." I would guess that right up until the dawn of the 20th Century, that same equivalence probably still was valid. "Pagan beliefs" and "pagan customs" were any weird beliefs and customs (no need to discuss the details) to which the residents of some isolated, rustic village still clung. AFAIK, it's only within my own lifetime that anybody has labelled themselves as "pagans" or, advocated any system that they called "paganism." ~2026-31934-79 (talk) 20:35, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
