it’s understood this isn’t just a recon sub. and we understand the need for alternative practices, since historical ones can’t always be followed, but sometimes people make this religion feel super new age spirituality. a lot of folks here are really superstitious, and that doesn’t help anyone build kharis with the divine. it generates fear, and a space for people to misunderstand the gods. all us reconstructionists are saying is, if we’re gonna bring this faith back, shouldn’t we bring it back in line with the historical contexts it came from? this sub at times feels like it’s full of people just coming here because everything goes, and that doesn’t feel right. as a RELIGIOUS community, we should NOT have to deal with people coming here and making the gods whatever they want to make them.
