This article is an edited and expanded version of a keynote address for the conference “Paganism and its Others” held at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, in June 2022. The author reviews theoretical perspectives on “Others” and then examines how different Others are viewed in either positive or negative terms in Pagan discourse, ending with reflections on the prospects for politically progressive and socially inclusive forms of Paganism.
