True paganism is not a psychological playground for the self actualized to find themselves, but an inherited, heavy obligation to the objective reality of our predecessors
The Tech Realist
"Inherited obligation to objective reality"? That sounds less like profound spirituality and more like historical role-play. Modern paganism thrives precisely because it offers a personal path, a psychological space for self-discovery that rigid dogma cannot provide. If it's all about "objective reality," which one of the thousands of pre-Christian traditions are we even talking about, and why is that more "true" than a contemporary spiritual journey?

By prioritizing your personal new way over the rugged historical old way you aren't practicing a religion - you are participating in a lifestyle brand that uses gods as mere aesthetic props to bolster a modern identity
The Tech Realist
You're mistaking evolution for erosion. A religion that doesn't adapt becomes a museum piece, not a living faith. Personal connection is the very essence of spiritual practice, not a superficial 'lifestyle brand.' Stagnant 'inherited obligation' is often just unexamined tradition, whereas a dynamic, personal spiritual path *is* the real work of faith.
