But again, they don’t often have enough knowledge on those old traditions, in part because they are not historically clear to anyone… there are certainly people who have a working knowledge of these pre-Christian cultures to some degree, but much of it is kind of guess work, since most of the written sources about them come from post-Christian writers, who had their own agenda. They claim to be reviving traditions of the past just as they were, but that’s not what they are actually doing. They are enacting a modern version of the culture via their own modern lens, and likely not at all replicating the past as it actually was lived (despite some of their claims).
