  • Im a romuvis :3

    Used to be an atheist before ig

    • What is that? 🤔

    • Man it's been a while since I've come across a pagan reconstructionist in the wilds of social media. Cheers!

      I hadn't heard of Romuva before, but I used to know a bunch back in the day; Celts, Hellenists, Kemetics, etc.

      • Baltic pagans are definitely rarer to encounter online than the others :3.. these days I feel like I mostly meet hellenists and wicca with a sprinkle of germanic pagans

        At least there's a lot of holidays to attend in person tho haha x3

        • Yeah, true that. Hell, reconstructionists in general are pretty rare, much less finding the rare thing within a group of rare things. ;) Also I've always been a lil uneasy around German pagans, unfortunately there's a strong undercurrent of white nationalism that has co-opted/corrupted some of it and it's hard to tell them apart at a glance.

          Though Wiccans aren't reconstructionists in the usual sense; they're not rediscovering/recreating something that once was so much as syncretizing something new out of the pieces of a bunch of pre-Christian/indigenous practices.

          • Yeah the germanic thing is quite unfortunate.. the main symbol for romuva also catches the religion a fair share of drama tho x3
