As the title suggest, I practise a reconstructed version of what historical Germanic Paganism may have looked like (adapted best I can to modern day).

Are you aware of the implications of attempting to reconstruct Germanic Paganism in our age, specifically the obsession of far-right nationalists with it specifically? And how do you reconcile it with your own beliefs?
Sadly, yes. All of us in the Heathen community are all too aware of the presence of far-right people and their beliefs. There are certain organisations that are “Heathen” while also being white nationalist (like the AFA). Most people in the Heathen community, like myself, despise those people and actively try to fight against that by being vocal about inclusive beliefs. White nationalism, racism, nazism, and other hateful ideologies have zero historical basis in the religion.
