What gets me is that this bastardizes even European spiritual systems. Outside of the state religion (when there was one) each Roman God had a localized aspect. Ditto eg Athena. I suspect if the British Celts had written things down we'd see the same there.https://twitter.com/so_treu/status/1246403764615106563 …

Replying to @NeolithicSheep
This stuff is the bane of my existence atm with Irish and English non-Christian belief systems. It’s very hard to study it because even scholarship on it is pretty...bad.

But at the same time, there is someone who has argued that Woden and Othinn aren’t linked, and we have to consider them completely separate rather than say differing localizations of a deity seen in Rome and Greece...which seems also wrong.

It’s very annoying and anything written on it seems to just ignore nuance. Also anyone citing Tacitus on “Germanic” beliefs is my enemy.
