Who do Pagans worship?

Pagans do not
all worship any one god or set of gods.  That is because paganism is not a specific religion.
 Instead, paganism is a general type of religion.

The term
"paganism" is generally used to refer to any sort of polytheistic faith.  It is not
used much anymore because it has negative connotations that make it sound primitive and
barbaric.  If all polytheistic religions are seen as pagan, then, pagans can be anyone from the
Ancient Greeks to modern Wiccans.  You can generalize and say that they typically worship gods
and spirits connected to different places and activities (gods of things like war and the
harvest).  Outside of that, though, they do not all worship the same gods and
spirits.
