   I’m guessing when it comes to all the paganism and tribal belief sets but the idea of worshipping a reconstruction, an imitation of a long-dead religion never held any allure for me.

   I don’t get how you can say you’re following the same faith as your ancestors 2,000 years prior if you had to obtain it through the internet. I know everyone thinks conversion is cool, but an integral part of my religious belief set was that it was embedded in my family’s history, enmeshed in our actions for generations. I share the same theology and inherited ‘takes’ as my G-grandfather, I have bits of his belief set, points in my worldview that come directly from the life he lived.

   A religion has to be passed down, treasured as part of a familial inheritance. You should be able to trace your spiritual lineage back from one man to another, not just pluck something that sounds cool out of the ether.

   There’s no…soul to that, no lasting spiritual power. 500 years from now it’s not very likely that anyone will say “yeah my ggggg-grandfather converted when he read up on reddit posts about the norse, he was really into black metal runes and he just really got into it….”
