Live your religion

A small frustration ive been having with reconstructionism is the lazer focus on historical accuracy. I see people debate endlessly about attestations when i dont think that's really the point.

The point (to me) is how we relate to Midgard and the Tree in the here and now. I dont think it should really matter if the ancestors practiced the same things as us. To me religion is a living culture of reverence and transcendent communion with the Tree (the tree representing the interconnecred totality of existence).

Like i'd rather practice eclectically and historically inaccurate with 10 people, than reach academic perfection alone in their oom. I think neo paganism through its individualist nature is almost a religion of academics, when it -ironically enough for reconstructionism- was a real life religion by people who didnt spend 90% of their time reading academic texts. They learned the names of the trees and plants, and told stories of their lives.

Little rant over, what do you think?
