Paganism refers to modern revival of ancient (mostly polytheist) faith from Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and the movements surrounding it. The purpose of this community is to provide a space for discussion and sharing of experiences, art and advice among pagans.

Where would you place yourself on the reconstructionist - revivalist spectrum? (kbin.social)

By "recon" I mean keeping as close to the original practice and by reviv I mean adapting the practice to the modern age

Reconstructionist with no specific need to do things exactly as they were a thousand years ago. I'm not going to slaughter a sheep in my back yard (not even legal to do anyway). I will pour some water or other offerings.

But I do not stray so far from what we know about the historical worship practices that I would be able to say "work with" or incorporate the beliefs into something Wicca-esque or New Age-y.

So, somewhere in between the two, but leaning towards reconstruction.
