Circassian paganism, also called Khabzeism, is the ethnic religion of the Circassian people, and one of the abandoned parts of Adyghe Xabze. Circassia was one of the places in Europe that retained its native religious traditions for the longest time, with almost a continuity between the ancient traditions and the modern religiosity and world-view (Xabze), which syncrethized and maintained many of its native elements even in Islamic times. The Xabze beliefs and Sufi-Islamic beliefs are  seen as complementary philosophies by  Circassians.
