What I’ve seen is orgs like Asatru are doing an element of recreating traditions based on what documents we have - it’s not all Norse and they don’t claim to represent just “Norse” traditions, it’s basically a pan-European scope where they’re pulling important folkish traditions from various European nationalities. But there’s also an element that’s just folkish traditions like Yule and things that Christianity incorporated and changed the symbolism of, where they’re just deChristianizing of something that was pagan in the first place.
The folkish tradition stuff I’m all for, but I’m more Nietzschian on the sort of “we are recreating a ritual from this manuscript” stuff where I think we have to effectively meld the traditions of old with a sort of ubermensch archetype to create a future thinking philosophy and religion from that.
