None of the examples were Pagan practices.

Go to a Buddhist or Taoist Temple or Hindu to learn something about pagan practices.

Prayer and offerings for the dead and to the dead, intercession sought from the dead or from benevolent spirits other than God.

Kuanyin serves exactly as a Mary deity and the rites are quite similar as one obvious example.

Its pretty fascinating.

It’s understandable given the historical dynamics and not condemnatory of all of Catholicism.

Seriously, that is your best shot. Look up the Druids, Greek and Roman Gods, the Balts, the Egyptians.
