    Baltic pagans are definitely rarer to encounter online than the others :3… these days I feel like I mostly meet hellenists and wicca with a sprinkle of germanic pagans

    At least there’s a lot of holidays to attend in person tho haha x3

      Yeah, true that. Hell, reconstructionists in general are pretty rare, much less finding the rare thing within a group of rare things. ;) Also I’ve always been a lil uneasy around German pagans, unfortunately there’s a strong undercurrent of white nationalism that has co-opted/corrupted some of it and it’s hard to tell them apart at a glance.

      Though Wiccans aren’t reconstructionists in the usual sense; they’re not rediscovering/recreating something that once was so much as syncretizing something new out of the pieces of a bunch of pre-Christian/indigenous practices.
