As the title suggest, I practise a reconstructed version of what historical Germanic Paganism may have looked like (adapted best I can to modern day).

My main question is why? If you had to reconstruct it, that suggests you wanted you do it before you understood it.
I don’t understand the mindset that would involve consciously choosing a spiritual belief system before being exposed to said system?
One day I got curious about old Germanic gods and decided to research that subject. Further research led me to discovering reconstructionist Heathenry and I eventually decided that I just wanted to do that. I can’t quite remember everything about that but I suppose it just felt right. It sure is very annoying considering that a lot of what we have is guesswork due to the large lack of good sources on so many vital aspects of the religion, but despite that it gives me joy so I’ve continued with it.
Would you find the mindset wierd if it was an american indian looking toward their heritage?
I didn’t say it was weird, I said I didn’t understand it!
well I guess then would you get it more in that context?
Well, if you were the OP, yeah!
