[QUOTE="Wutang, post: 1354767, member: 2952"] I wonder if this is the appeal of paganism for a lot of people today - both the young girls LARPing as witches and the dissident right people LARPing as vikings. There's barely any sort of doctrine in paganism which means a practitioner has a lot of freedom in determining what the "faith" means to him or her. A wicca girl and an alt-right Odinist guy are on the opposite ends of the political and social spectrum but because the doctrine in paganism is so loose that both these people can draw whatever they want out of it and end up in completely different spaces. This perfectly suits the modern mind that wants to be the absolute arbitrator of what is right and valid rather then depending on an external source to act as an arbitrator. [/QUOTE]
