Forward from: THE OLD WAYS
Orthodox Church of Russia is threatened by the growing neo-pagan Slavic movement in Russia.
I hate calling it “neo-pagan Slavic movement” because it’s a reawakening of something old, and not new, but unfortunately we can not bring back the old pagan world exactly as it was. The church did a lot to destroy the old pagan world, and bury the evidence, and it makes it really hard for modern people to find the evidence of what the old was like. So some new elements will be added, and I think that’s ok, as long as these elements are not foreign. As long as it’s native, ethnic, or organic, natural.
I’m for one am happy to see the church shaking in her boots, scared that her time in European countries is over!
