Is it possible to mix Paganism with Taoism?

Question

How would that work?

Answer 1

Yes.

Taoism goes under the umbrella of paganism.

Answer 2

Just don't tell the Baptists!

Answer 3

Sure.. In fact, some would say Taoism is a Pagan belief.

Answer 4

Easily, taoism,as put by Wikipedia...

Reverence for nature and ancestor spirits is common in popular Taoism....Chinese alchemy, astrology, cuisine, several Chinese martial arts, Chinese traditional medicine, fengshui, and many styles of qigong breath training disciplines are intertwined with Taoism throughout history.

It sounds as though its already pagan....and upon further reading it, they have a hierarchy of Gods and Goddesses.

"Popular Taoism typically presents the Jade Emperor as the official head deity. Intellectual ("elite") Taoists, such as the Celestial Masters sect, usually present Laozi (Laojun, "Lord Lao") and the Three Pure Ones at the top of the pantheon of deities.[33][34]"

"While a number of immortals or other mysterious figures appear in the Zhuangzi, and to a lesser extent in the Tao Te Ching, these have generally not become the objects of worship. Traditional conceptions of Tao are not to be confused with the Western concepts of theism and monotheism. Being one with the Tao does not indicate a union with an eternal spirit in the Hindu sense, but rather living in accordance with nature"

So to answer, your question is a trick question, because Taoism IS a form of paganism.  Just a different "flavor"
