More newspaper hogwash. Because most of the pagans **I** know are Asatru: they follow the Gods of the Norse Pantheon. Y’know: Odin, Thor, that bunch. And I met most of them in the Service, which actually isn’t surprising: Adherents to Warrior Religions tend to be Warriors themselves. Good people, and outstanding soldiers. . .
But every time someone mentions “pagans”, it’s always the “fluffy-bunny” tree-hugging Wiccans that get used as an example. . .
I don’t hold a brief for paganism, but I agree that the pagans of antiquity would scorn to be associated with this lot of simps.
There are people that actually worship Norse gods like Thor and Odin? Yikes.
