>>329640>>329688If you want to look into Druidry for yourself, do some reading on the pages for Ár nDraíocht Féin (
adf.org), the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (
druidry.org), and the British Druid Order (
druidry.co.uk).
Nordic religions fall under the aforementioned Odinism, Asatru, and kind of a general term of Heanthenry. I would offer URLs but I haven't explored those much myself, so I couldn't tell you what are good ones. I'm sure others here can.
Also be wary of anyone that claims their pagan religion and lineage dates back blah blah number of centuries or something. Pretty much all pagan branches are modern - be they reconstructionist, revivalist, or such.
There's also "eclectic paganism" where you may mix pantheons depending on what deities or archetypes resonate with you or have over the course of your life. Like someone might feel an affinity for both Thor but also the Egyptian god Bes. Some will tell you you can't mix and match pantheons, but... again... it depends on what experiences you have had and if you feel that deities from different pantheons have reached out to you.
Conversely, you don't even have to have deities. You also don't have to believe in divination (tarot, runes), magick, fairies, unicorns, or other fluffy stuff that your "Fox News Pagans" believe in.
Other branches you might explore if you're interested are Kemetic (Egyptian), Hellenic (Greek), Roman, and the obvious Celtic and Norse branches.
I'll leave it at that since these have been somewhat un-/out/ posts even if in a fittingly /out/ thread. It just hurts the pagan community and is a disservice to people who might be interested in exploring aspects of it when someone claims one branch is superior or inferior to another since it's all about personal experience and exploration.
