- It's relatively recent.
- The primary basis of the original Techno philosophy is all about
- learning to control and guide the progress of technology as we
- leave the industrial age. Paganism is a product of the agricultaral
- age and was probably first associated with Techno via raves in the
- UK in the late '80s. Just one of the many things that changed when
- techno hit the UK.

- Paganism is more likely to mentioned in association with rave than techno.
