Neo-paganism and more or less all other forms of pagan reconstruction consistently fail on the same point. Projecting Christian theological ideas onto pre-Christian pagan religion. "Personal relationship to the gods", a lack of transactionalism, views on sacrifice and a lack of taking oaths seriously are the most egregious examples.
It's equal parts astounding and hilarious how these guys proclaiming to RETVRN to the ancient traditions of their ancestors consistently self own in that manner.
It's almost as if two thousand years of Christianity has fundamentally reshaped the spiritual ideals and conceptions of Western man to find the pagan weltanschaung (look at the pajeet if you want to see a pagan weltanschaung in action) fundamentally alien and all their attempts at RETVRNing stand in the shadow of the Cross no matter what they do.

They're marinated so deep in Christian thought and culture that it's like asking a fish what water is.

Trace religion back to its first known form of Shamanism of a Deer cult called "Bon",some carving in stone exist, maybe some scrolls written later about it, but mostly lost,any modern religion has no concept of what early Man knew,maybe some form of mysticism powers that the Jesus was able to tap into, I like to think as a Christian that he trained as an adolescent male with monks to learn the miracles,water to wine from drunken master casting demons out from Druids
