Paganism contains a wide variety of different spiritual paths, just as Christianity does. One could be Wiccan, Druid, or much more, just as one could be Episcopalian, Catholic, or much more inside Christianity.
Therefore, the rituals practiced in Paganism tend to vary depending on the practice of the individual and also by what the person wants to convey in a ritual, the time of the ritual, and their own personal feelings and whims.
Paganism originates from ancient false religious practices, such as the ones Babylon used in their worship to false gods. Paganism incorporates idolatry (the worship of idols/fake deities) and spiritism. Spiritism involves all sorts of things like magic, satanic rituals, psychic mediums, etc. Jehovah's witnesses know that these things stem from Satan the god of this system of things. that is why they dislike it so much. In Deuteronomy 18: 10-12, it mentions many of the things that are weaved into paganism.

While the observance of the death and resurrection of Jesus and paganism do not relate, Easter is held at the same time as the pagan celebration of Eastre, a pagan celebration to the goddess Eastre. Also, some of the traditions of Easter arose from pagan practices. One example is the Easter bunny. Rabbits and hares were symbols of fertility in the pagan rituals and actually have nothing to do with Christianity.
Druidism was generally the form of Paganism that Pre-Christian Ireland subscribed to. The Druid was the priest who would hold the rituals. Druidism lasted until the Christianization of Ireland circa 900 CE.
Roman paganism, also known as the revival of ancient Roman religious practices, is a small but growing movement today. Followers, known as modern Roman pagans or Roman polytheists, seek to honor the gods and goddesses of ancient Rome through rituals, festivals, and prayers. They often draw inspiration from historical sources and archaeological evidence. While still a minority belief system, modern Roman paganism continues to attract individuals interested in connecting with the spiritual traditions of the past.
