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.
Im a romuvis :3
Used to be an atheist before ig
Man it’s been a while since I’ve come across a pagan reconstructionist in the wilds of social media. Cheers!
I hadn’t heard of Romuva before, but I used to know a bunch back in the day; Celts, Hellenists, Kemetics, etc.

Yeah the germanic thing is quite unfortunate… the main symbol for romuva also catches the religion a fair share of drama tho x3
What is that? 🤔
Romuva is lithuanian paganism :3… kind of obscure everywhere outside the country
