Polytheists include Pagans. Not all polytheists are Pagans.

Many polytheistic religions are not Pagan religions. Asian religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism are not Pagan. Native American religions are not Pagan. African traditional religions are not Pagan. Paganism does not equal "not an Abrahamic religion".

Pine Correspondences & Associations

Pines smell good, especially when you set them on fire in a woodstove or in a campfire. Very smelly, very nice.

So a lot of pines in Missouri have actually escaped from cultivation, like the pinus strobus (eastern white/northern white/soft/weymouth/white pine), pinus taeda (loblolly pine), and pinus virginiana (jersey/scrub/virginia pine). By contrast, the pinus echinata is native to parts of Missouri - it's also called the shortleaf pine.

There aren't as many pines as there were oaks, thankfully.
