Pagan folk and folk using ancient, period, and world instruments and languages is one of my favorite niches. These are four of my favorite bands (actually, three: early Faun and post-Lisa Pawelke Faun I consider as two different entities), but don't worry: I have more!

For me it's between Holdrejtek, Renaissance, Eden, Luna, and Mirabilis. Too tough to call!

THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT:


FAUN (the younger):


MEDIÆVAL BÆBES:
 

FAUN (the elder):

Listened just a little bit those three bands (or are there two different Fauns), didn´t woke my interest, sounded quite much that typical modernmade middleage style music that was used for example in the back of hobbit-movies etc. Not bad of course.

I'm not familiar with any of those paganistic artists or albums in your list, but I really like what I heard from the four sample videos you helpfully provided, so Pagan Folk is definitely a genre I need to look into a lot more deeply. Thanks for introducing me to a hitherto unexplored musical genre. Thumbs Up

This is a hard choice indeed, since they all sound great. I ended voting for Holdrejtek, but either could win, and that would be fine with me.

Went with Holdrejtek, although they all sound cool on this damp, dreary rainy day.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

I have Osforras by The Moon and the Nightspirit, which is an album I enjoy a great deal. It's a like a great merger of Dead Can Dance and the Hungarian singer Bognar Szilvia (or Szilvia Bognar in non-Hungarian format).

I also recommend checking out the Danish artist Myrkur's brand new album Folksange. Her previous album fused black metal and Scandinavian folk. The new one is pretty much straight-on folk (lots of nyckelharpa!). Tremendous stuff.

I voted for The Moon and the Nightspirt as I have two of their albums.  I like your other entries as well, but my favorite by far (not listed) is The Moors...



Their one-off album was very hard to find, but recently showed up on CDBaby https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/themoors.  Sharynne MacLeod NicMhacha, the band leader, is a Celtic scholar, writer, teacher and shaman-priestess of Scottish, Irish and Welsh ancestry, a direct descendant of 'Fairy Clan' MacLeod. Her facebook page is here.https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Community/Sharynne-MacLeod-NicMhacha-226092247484/

Awesome suggestion! (I'm listening to it as I write this.) Thanks! 
I'll check out Bognar Szilvia and Szilvia Bognar, as well!

THIS IS AMAZING! The voice and vocals are great but the music is AWESOME!
 (The whole album can be heard on YouTube:
by searching The Moors "The Hunter")

Oh, this seems fun. I hope I have a chance to listen to these, I only know a bit of Faun, and it's really enjoyable. However, I guess some Corvus Corax would work nicely among these ones.
