Continued : https://www.group-telegram.com/us/hammerandvajra.com/4198 2.  Identifying with more recent generations vs. very ancient Pagans:  This is what I think is the core argument that is made here.  Believe me, I’m as big of a nerd as the next guy looking towards Yamnaya…

Not hesitating because there might be some new “discovery” that will somehow make Odin, Thor, Freyr, Freya, etc, not exist. They exist, they have existed since the beginning and will continue to exist. You don’t need a linguist, archeologist, or myself to tell you that they do and that they are worthy of worship. The majority of your ancestors knew the Gods existed.

Sure, this doesn’t mean you should cobble together anything you don’t know about from syncretic missing pieces without thought or comparative reasoning. However, adjusting your faith based on whatever new study releases about genetics or what ex-Viking was buried with isn’t useful in the here and now. It doesn’t affect your praising the Gods and having a spiritual connection with them, your ancestors, and spirits in the world today.

I am of the mindset that we need to be active today. All of the major “gaps” have already been filled, and nothing is stopping you from practice today. A practice in the line of your ancestors. Sure, we will make changes over time and adjust to be as accurate or as skillful in worship and practice as possible, but the divine hasn’t changed, nor the method of reaching them.
