For anyone looking for more mainstream / modern takes on music with a spiritual / pagan feel, Of Monsters and Men and Florence + the Machine quickly come to mind. Florence especially. In her first two studio albums, she utilizes a ton of spiritual symbolism in her music. These two groups are my favorites in general, but definitely feel the pagan connection.

I love both of them, but this is what played in my head after I read your post.
Sorry to double post, but I thought I'd share this Spotify playlist I've been playing at work lately. It's quite nice and has a good mix of different styles. HERE.
Coil is no more as both main members have departed this veil. The members of Cyclobe were affiliated with Coil at various times.
Both bands blend electronic music with some traditional instruments. Much of the music is without vocals. All the members of both bands are or were immersed in paganism and chaos magic.
The first use of the controversial "Falster Pipe" instrument from the Viking age.
A part of an instrument was found during the excavations of a shipyard at Fribrødre river on Falster, Denmark. It might have been part of a bagpipe, but there is no evidence to support this theory. On the replica a wooden mouthpiece was added, making the instrument into a hornpipe (a kind of oboe).
The find was from the later part of the 11th century.
Remember, that we all are brothers
All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind
We all descend from the one great being
That was always there
Before people lived and named it
Before the first seed sprouted
Not sure if I would call them exactly Pagan but their name is Welch in origin IF I got that right their music is beautifully done with flutes, harps, etc. New band for me. Have any Pagan/ish music you would like to share?
LOVE that band! That song as well! Its on my spotify playlist. I have a few I can name I listen to
Brothers of Metal- I enjoy their song Yggdrasil
Tyr-Blood of Heroes and Hold the Heathen hammer high
Eluveitie- Inis Mona and The Call of the mountains
That's all I got on my spotify...need to find more.
Once upon a time from the beaches of the North Sea, the Berzerkers around Scottland and Ireland picked up and moved to America where their children took over Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and parts of Texas.
the morning tree is not officially Pagan but it's traditional music that does the trick for me. Manannan is the Celtic Welsh Sea God (Irish too more or less). I also love Jethro Tull Songs from the Wood, Sandy Denny and Dead Can Dance which has an ancient music feel. Bert Jansch of Pentangle, John Renbourne if you enjoy older acoustic music.
