Queequeg told Ishmael that his pagan idol would guide him safely through the dangers of the sea.
Queequeg told Ishmael that his pagan idol, Yojo, would bring him good luck and protect him from harm during their whaling expedition on the Pequod. Yojo was a wooden idol that Queequeg worshipped as part of his religious beliefs from his native culture.
The sentence speaks for itself - worshipping an ganesha idol is worship of an idol, because the statue itself is the object of veneration. However, worship of the god Ganesha through use of a statue or 'idol' of Ganesha need not be seen as idol worship. Many Christians pray before statues of saints and even of Jesus, but would never consider this to be idol worship.
Yojo is a mysterious, unseen figure mentioned in "Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville. It is described as the unknown god worshipped by Queequeg, one of the main characters in the novel. Yojo represents Queequeg's religious beliefs and cultural background as a pagan.
Those that only worship nature are considered pagan by Christians.
No.
The old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" applies to Queequeg in "Moby-Dick" because despite his intimidating appearance as a tattooed and pagan harpooner, he proves to be a loyal and compassionate friend to Ishmael. Queequeg's actions and personality challenge the stereotypes and prejudices commonly associated with his physical appearance.
He was hung on a stake not a cross, the translation for the word cross from Greek is stauros which means upright pale or steak. The actual cross is an idol for nature worship and pagan sex rites.

In general terms - Nature. However each pagan will have their own path, some worship the God/Goddess - others will worship specific deities from the old pantheons. It's very much a personal choice.
