>>1027725Not to burst your bubble or anything, but there's a few vital things to remember about Paganism in it's early days. The Romans (Who's religion was an almost exact copy from the Greek's) made a point of destroying forests while invading enemy territory, in fact, that was the only reason they gained a presence in the Germanic territories. They also built so much stuff that they totally drained their local environments of resources, hence why Italy is basically cliffs and fields. The reason most of Europe is totally barren of /out/ is mostly their fault. The Celts would also engage in mass destruction of their environments to fight the Romans as they invaded, although that was driven more by necessity than greed. Paganism has rarely ever been a united religion. There was always infighting to prove that one god was stronger than another. The only truly nature-oriented paganism is probably the Norse forms of it, and they were no walk in the park either, though for different reasons. The Norse would throw babies into the ocean if they were born weak, as was dictated by their gods. They would perform the "Blood Eagle" on blasphemers to the gods as well. As for Slavic and Baltic Paganism, we really have no clue what they were like. All we have are artifacts and written documents by VERY biased Christian monks. Either way, Paganism is very much not to be emulated IMO.
