>>12471381I think it's important to remember that the same things change meaning throughouht time. Christianity also looked completely different 100 years ago, not to mention the former times. It is possible that European people believed in pagan gods in the sense of animism, at least some of them (maybe not Hellenics, but Slavic Rodnovers, for example? I don't know, just guessing). The issue is - it doesn't have to be kept like that.
This is the core of "LARP" accusation: that contemporary pagans do not think of pagan gods as people 2000 years ago, which for the accusers is an argument against genuineness of contemporary pagan faith.
