I believe in a more unified spiritual world. One not built on hate or division, but of understanding and respect. That is why my videos and topics have always been free of modern and divisive content. I am committed to providing information free of bias, drama, and ego. I believe religion, spirituality, and global healing is for everyone regardless of race, sexuality, gender, or political ideology.

My bet ist on Iceland as even today about 40% still believe in the existence of ancient creatures like giants and trolls. Also Iceland has Asatru recognised as an official religion as one of the first countries in Europe and the membership of the Asatru Fellowship grows steadily

The word pagan comes from the old Latin word pagus. Which meant “country dweller” or describes someone living in a rural area. Christians during the Roman Empire used it to describe people who didn’t worship the God of Abraham. It essentially became a derogatory term to describe someone living outside civilization. Many of the last European pagans lived far away from cities which had been “Christianized” by the church.

Romuva (Baltic Paganism) is recognized as an *official and legal* religion in Lithuania.

So, I'd say Lithuania or Baltics overall. Some pagan traditions are still celebrated anually by most people, even by those who identify as Christian.

The Baltic countries. As a Latvian, I see us as a pagan nation to this day. We still respect and love nature, we feel most at home in a forest, surrounded by nature. We still celebrate many pagan holidays with many pagan rituals, even the ones that have been stolen by Chrsitians. Easter? You better swing in a swing or mosquitos are going to bite you all summer! Egg battles. Egg racing (you make a troth out of wood and roll eggs down it to compete). Summer solstice? You jump over a fire, have a fire going all night, stay up to wait for sunrise, perhaps go into the woods with a partner to look for the magical fern bloom or fern flower (a fertility ritual that involves exactly what you might be thinking). The list goes on and on. People still sow plants according to moon phases. The amount of superstitions is very vast and I would have a hard time telling you which ones might seem silly to me as I have done them my whole life. It is still good luck to see the one snake that lives in Latvia - zalktis. As our ancestors believed centuries ago. Visit and you will see clean streets, clean forests. If you throw rubbish on the ground, people will have the guts to tell you off publicly, don't you worry. And for such behaviour it would be very warranted. My ome (grandma) had an electrician on his hands and knees searching for the cigarette butt he had the audacity to drop on the ground on our drive at our house, which was in the countryside. There is so much of my culture alive that I wouldn't have the time to express it all. Partially since it is just normal life to me, not some 'other' existence that only exists in stories. These are not things we learn about in a book, but stuff we grow up with from an early age. Ask a Latvian - they will know how to forage for berries and mushrooms in a forest, know what piece of grass will help heal a wound. This is stuff we know as children, toddlers.

We have returned to the old gods of our ancestors. As it was meant to be.

Lithuania, Latvia and estonia are considered to some degree, the last ancient european pagans that survived till this day and are very well preserved. Difference is although compared to old paganism they no longer have militant pagan warrior culture related but they are still told in folk stories to inspire

Lets free ourselves from clutches of Abrahamic Cults.

Paganism is an ancient religion of Europe and i wish people of europe realise it and came to their ancestors religion.

[micirenea]

[kinginigo]

Im a christo-pagan (catholic) but I believe also in pagan aspects such as druidism/animism and celtic paganism for instance. I would love to go to those places one day ☘️✝️

[roykosonen]

Udmurtia and Mari-El, both of which are Finno-Ugrian nations in Russia.

[noiamtotallynothere]

iceland, baltics, and the celts. the celts (Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Isle of Man. Also Cornwall if you count that) because of rich pagan culture (especially in Ireland and Scotland).

[GreyStrobe-vjo]

Im a Balinese Hindu, support Europe to return to glory like in the pagan era. The Abrahamic religion has cut off your connection with your ancestors. By becoming pagan, Europeans would have more expression to love God

[beowulf_]

Baltic states, Finland (for Samis people) and Iceland

[earthquakemagoon]

Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire U.K. Would love to visit there! So beautiful in pictures & videos! Skal!

[BleepafterBleep]
