go for it.Ahhh, the Pagan tag on Tumblr is a blast and a half. The Heathen and Asatru tags aren't any better, mind if I post any funny stuff I find in there?
Ahh yes, the "ancient religion" myth. My all-time fav.Cray Cray lady claims Wicca is the first religion.

Wicca is about 60 years old. Most of the things it claims to draw from are bullshit. The Celtic druids, for example, used bizarre runic markings that have never been translated (or indeed, even proven to be an alphabet), and we know next to nothing about them as few written records exist. They could've worshiped spider monkeys for all we know. Most of the religion has been adopted from 18th-19th century ideas about what ancient religions were like.
That's not to say the whole thing is invalid, mind, you can believe whatever you like. But claiming it has the same level of historical relevance as something like Judaism or Catholicism is just wholesale deception.
Most of their rituals are derived from 19th century psuedo-occult societies popular with bored aristocrats.

A lot of the rest of it is bastardised hindu and Buddhist concepts- chaukras etc.Ahh yes, the "ancient religion" myth. My all-time fav.

Because there is a magical force in the world that can fix nearly anything and solve literally almost any problem. It even comes in convenient paper form.Why do these spergs want to use magic so much when you can do so much more with science than do these weird little things that resolve minor nuisances

I might check up on this blog to see what actually happened in ten minutes.
Indigenous beliefs are actually really fascinating, but damned if you'll find any amongst the online pagan community.
