Not hesitating because there might be some new “discovery” that will somehow make Odin, Thor, Freyr, Freya, etc, not exist. They exist, they have existed since the beginning and will continue to exist. You don’t need a linguist, archeologist, or myself to tell you that they do and that they are worthy of worship. The majority of your ancestors knew the Gods existed.
Sure, this doesn’t mean you should cobble together anything you don’t know about from syncretic missing pieces without thought or comparative reasoning. However, adjusting your faith based on whatever new study releases about genetics or what ex-Viking was buried with isn’t useful in the here and now. It doesn’t affect your praising the Gods and having a spiritual connection with them, your ancestors, and spirits in the world today.
I am of the mindset that we need to be active today. All of the major “gaps” have already been filled, and nothing is stopping you from practice today. A practice in the line of your ancestors. Sure, we will make changes over time and adjust to be as accurate or as skillful in worship and practice as possible, but the divine hasn’t changed, nor the method of reaching them.

2. Identifying with more recent generations vs. very ancient Pagans:
This is what I think is the core argument that is made here. Believe me, I’m as big of a nerd as the next guy looking towards Yamnaya, Corded Ware, Hunter Gather DNA and practices from other ancient Europeans and Eurasian groups that might be connected to me or my culture. These ancient ties, especially to our faiths, are very important. They can indeed fill the gaps. But skipping over your more recent ancestry, their achievements, their ideas, and their worldview just because they were Christian is doing them and yourself a disservice. Indeed, the majority of them weren’t Pagan. (though I could debate all day on how Paganism continued both hidden / occult and even overtly, at least culturally and in spirit).
You can still be Pagan and have Christian ancestors. He mentions how if you know these people going back, you know yourself. These family members going back to even the Middle Ages had family members who knew of Pagan or had those tales freshly as a part of their oral or cultural tradition (even if demonized). There is no reason to think that all of the culture and customs from these ancestors are all Christianized to the extent that they aren’t a part of your folk traditions and need to be thrown out. Also, a lot of the information we have for Paganism today came from documents from interested people of these time periods. Not just mystics and revival or romanticism from the 1800s but in illustrations and studies going back to the 1500s. A great example is Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus, which depicted Odin, Thor, and Frigga in 1555. Our Gods weren’t unknown to even our Christian ancestors. Writings regarding King Arthur, Merlin, and even the Celtic Gods go back to only around the 1200s. With Celtic manuscripts of the Ulster Cycle goes back to eleventh century.
Even Adam of Bremen, who wrote about active Saxon Pagans in the 11th century as a first-hand account. This brings into question some of the writings of Scandinavian Sagas and poems. Were they really that distant from practicing Pagans? Were they that influenced by Christianity? Is there really that much of a Gap?
3. The Gap:
Lastly, what is discussed is that we shouldn’t view our history as Paganism -> gap - > revivalism. I agree. There isn’t really a need to continue to focus on “revival”. Your faith shouldn’t be revivialism but living breathing, belief, and practice. We have enough to fill in this so-called gap. Between those who have done archeology, genetics, and linguistics studies, and those who have already recreated what we need to practice. There is no longer a gap. Allowing this gap to trap you into a constant state of revival or reconstruction where nothing is good enough until it is 100% peer reviewed and perfected isn’t a living tradition. Instead, it is holding you back. You can enjoy culture, objects, and efforts from those of your family who weren’t Pagan and still be Pagan today without worrying about filling in any gap. You should start practicing and believing now.

This post from Chad Pastoralist is rather insightful and mirrors a lot of my most recent thoughts, so I figured I would expound upon this great topic.
1. Having a family tree that extends beyond 18th and 19th century:
This is a very important topic, and sadly, it is one of the hardest hurdles for many in the West. I am lucky enough to have a family history that goes back a few hundred years. But I will admit there was some loss of records for the genealogy that seems to have started with the always blamed (though for a reason) boomer generation. I had to spend a bit of money and do a lot of diggings asking as old of living relatives as I currently have (grandparents in their 90s) for this information. I have been able to trace my family lines back to at minimum 13th century or older. Historically, many family records weren’t officially kept by any government census for certain regions earlier than this.

The post below is from STJ on his Twitter. https://t.me/survivethejive
I'm sharing here because he hasn't yet, but it is a very solid statement on Easter and English Paganism.
The conversion of English kingdoms to Christianity began with their kings but did NOT end there.
The last Heathen English king, Arwald, died in 686. Bede was born in 672/3. In Bede’s own land of Northumbria there had been mass reversion to Heathenry in 633 following the death of their Xian king.
The idea that Bede’s account of the goddess Easter can be seen as “faulty history” as some claim, is absurd. He very probably met Heathens as first hand sources! Or even if he was too sheltered in his cloisters to have experienced rural peasant culture, the elder monks around him, and travelling merchants would have FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE of English Heathens. Many of them raised by Heathen parents!
There is absolutely no way he could have made up an imaginary goddess to explain the name of such an important Christian holiday. It would go against all his purposes to do so. This is wishful thinking from certain Christians who want to throw shade on what is an uncontroversial fact among philologists.

A clay tablet was found in Hohenstein, Lower Saxony, in the 16th Century with a likely depiction of Ostara. Hohenstein was an important cult site since the early Iron Age, and the use of the Younger Futhark suggests an age of around the 8th Century. She is depicted with horns, a drinking horn or cornucopia, and what may be a bird. The location of the original is unknown, only sketches survive. The incomplete inscription reads;
“You go out, that’s Osta, loosen icy frosts…
You good Osta, from your face shines…”

Regarding religious truth in Heathenism.
Arriving at what is true involves a 3 fold method.
1. The historical tradition
2. Observation of the world
3. Personal experience
When analyzing the historical tradtions another 3 fold process is used.
1. Rational / Scientific
2. Transpersonal / psychological
3. Personal / subjective.
While I think there is more to this in a deeper spiritual understanding, these 3 fold approaches should be understood when looking at Heathenism via your own or others views as well as when looking at the historical records or reconstruction.

In Edward the Confessor’s law code, a term used for outlaws was wulfesheafod; wolf’s head.
In Notker’s The Life of Charlemagne, Charlemagne refers to the Norse as cynocephali, or dog-headed, quite likely on account of their wolf warrior cults.
“Ah, woe is me!” he said, “that I was not thought worthy to see my Christian hands dabbling in the blood of those dog-headed fiends.”
The term was used by pagans themselves in earlier times; in the Historia Langobardorum, the Langobards claimed they had cynocephali in their camps, who “waged war obstinately and drank human blood”, to deter potential attackers; likely referring to koryos and/or berserkir of sorts.
Its use in Christian accounts and law codes seems to invert and demonize a once-esteemed term, and make it synonymous with pagans. Like the double-bird motif, the wolf-man motif disappeared from Germanic art post conversion.

In Víga-Glúms saga, Glúm is a very Odinic character; he is given a blue cloak and gold inlaid spear and sword by his grandfather, who warns him never to part with them, and he remains undefeated until he gives them away.
He enters a berserk state in which he laughs maniacally when “the fighting spirit comes over him”, and vicariously finds himself in a conflict with Freyr when he kills His devotee, reminiscent of the Æsir-Vanir War.
His lapse in judgment in giving his spear and sword away is reminiscent of Freyr giving His sword away to fight Beli, and this may have been a curse from Freyr Himself.

One should always have a band (physically if possible) of oathsworn brothers / Männerbund / Gang / Tribe.
I discuss how to establish and maintain one in my newest book.
https://a.co/d/am59Z8l
Shilling aside, there are plenty of guides on how to do this, but putting fear aside and being active is the first step.
It's a risk, but everything worth having is risky. Reestablishing brotherhoods is the largest leap back into where we should be.
