I don't even need to tell you how much woke self flagellation is going on when you expand this post.
People who know nothing about history, genetics, religion, or better yet loyalty will preach to you about your cultures being for everyone... except for you and yours.
This is manipulation.
Anyone doing this is your enemy.

To continue...
Having a family tree that extends beyond the 18th and 19th centuries helps to establish a sense of continuity back into prehistory, because we garner a sense of where we would be in any given generation. Some modern Pagans choose to ignore their entire heritage from the Middle Ages simply because they don't have a family tree. It's easier to identify with projected, mysterious Pagan ancestors than it is with Christian ancestors from the Middle Ages if one lacks a family tree.
However, if you know your real ancestors—your family lineage from the 1800s going back to the 1500s, 1400s, 1300s, and earlier—you know yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to identify with our culture and ancestors from the colonial era, the medieval era, or the Victorian era and still be a Pagan. It is perfectly acceptable to practice the habits and customs, and to take a liking to our ancestors from any century, and still be a Pagan. For context, historical Germanic Pagans depicted the Gods in the cultural context of their day and were—for the most part—men and women of their time. They were completely connected to their ancestral heritage, knew their ancestors, and had established forms of worship without having to think about it—whereas today, many people don't have that. This is why it is so important to formulate these things.
A notable example comes from Adam of Bremen's 11th-century Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum. In it, Bremen describes the way in which the idols of the Gods were adorned at the temple at Uppsala. Óðinn is described as wearing armour and wielding weapons (which Bremen likens to portrayals of Mars). This shows that historical Pagan Swedes depicted the Gods in armour and with weapons that were modern to them in their day. The same is true for the Lindby idol of Óðinn, the Rällinge statuette of Freyr, and the Eyrarland statuette of Þórr, all of which show the Gods wearing a conical hat that was common across Scandinavia in the Viking Age.
Rather than viewing our history as "Paganism -> gap -> revivalism," we should be viewing our history as a continuum. The Gods have always existed, and the functional structure and nature of the universe has not changed. Objective reality (i.e., that the Gods exist) does not—and therefore has not—changed due to shifts in consensus or changes in cultural context. We should strive to live in the now and cultivate the revitalisation of Paganism: enjoy and appreciate all of our history and all of our ancestors; use the sources on Germanic Paganism as a framework to establish our own authentic forms of worship; form real groups; and revitalise our worship of the Gods and the veneration of our ancestors.

No one would (or should) fault an Amerindian for returning to his roots and embracing his heritage (at least nowadays).
Only people who are openly ridiculed and shamed for it are Europeans.
Free yourself from this paradigm and arbitrary default settings.

It's beyond Good vs Evil / duality and has lessons based more on metaphysical and virtuous reality.
Both are heroic.

This is an abhorrent abomination and an affront to nature, humanity, and the divine. At this point, all AI servers that support such functions need to be shut down, and anyone who opts for such things should possibly be trialed.

Ruslan and Ludmila (1972)
Русла́нъ и Людми́ла
Soviet era movie based on poem by poem by Alexander Pushkin.
Despite Soviet production, its telling of the fairy tale has a lot of Slavic and Eurasian Pagan elements and themes. There is legitimate cultural relevancy as it is set in a semi historical Kievan Rus era.
Also, the aesthetics are top tier.

Whether you are ending your day or just now rising. Here is some wisdom from the Lord who pours out blessings, Gautr, Óðinn.
Hávamál 58.
"He must early go forth | who fain the blood
Or the goods of another would get;
The wolf that lies idle | shall win little meat,
Or the sleeping man success."
Being a night owl this is something I struggle with.
However, I see it this way there is much to be done in the mornings or evenings, but doing so before others is important.
If one wants a modern tactical and applicable take, this can easily be viewed as taking advantage of the time you have.
Ultimately, finding the spirit and willpower to put forth effort to make success in whatever endeavor you strive towards.
Be this growing stronger, accumulating wealth, growing a community, better supporting one's family or clan, personal spiritual growth, or even hobbies.
If you take the Allfather's words here as both a command and a word of wisdom, meeting him with effort, he will, in turn, pour blessings upon said effort.

This comment on one of my posts presents an optimistic perspective on the position of Pagans and Heathens in a post-Christian world.
"Something cool about christianism displacing traidional religions is that it allowed them to crystalize and immortalize themselves. The erosion of time, the manipulation from geopolitical changes for mileniums didn't affect paganism.
Christianism took the cultural lead and, with it, all the poison of sociology and industrial revolution. Now christianity has eroded and humiliated itself so badly that it would be pretty much impossible to revive it when it dies. Even christians themselves claim that the evangelization goal is not achievable any longer for practical social reasons. They even ashamed themselves of what they turned their religion into by championing evangelization globally.
Paganism was saved from all this humilliation, an erosion of modernity.
Perhaps the gods intended this hibernation and let a self humilliating cult take the hits of the inevitable doom of time."
