W przypadku pogaństwa interesującą kwestia jest, czy sama konstrukacja poszczególnych religii poganskich pozwala na otwartość czy nie. Mogę zgodzić się z Rutiliusem, że każdy panteon jest w miare adekwatnym opisem swiata ale pytanie pozostaje, czy konkretna religia pozwala na wchodzenie w interakcję z innymi religiami, czy nie.
Moze zeby przyblizyc swiatopoglad tych ktorzy sa i wiccanami i lokalnymi rekonstrukcjionistami zalacze fragmenty artukulow napisanych wiele lat temu przez niezyjacego juz przyjaciela o ktorym wczesniej wspominalam ze byl przywodca Asatru, wiccaninem i magiem. Mysle ze skoro umiescil te artykuly na internecie to nie mialby nic przeciwko temu zeby je przytoczyc na publicznym forum. Fragmenty pochodza z artukolow 'Czarostwo w Norwegii' i 'Historia czarostwa w Norwegii'. Przepraszam ze nie przetlumaczylam. Jelsi ktos potrzebuje tlumaczenia prosze dajcie znac.
'Some people have asked, both from inside as well as outside of Wicca, why we have accepted a religious tradition brought to us from Great Britain, a religion with an emphasis on the Goddess, yet revived in our times by a man, and a religion which has a strong focus on Celtic and Greek myths and gods, rather than our Scandinavian ones. (…)The important answer is, of course, that we come to our religions by a calling from inside, because that which a religion contains respond to our own deep needs and beliefs. Contrary to most men who have rediscovered or created religions, Gerald B. Gardner did not set himself up as the sole Prophet or High Pontiff of Wicca; he brought to us a belief based on love, trust and freedom from dogma, where each Coven could become independent and each practitioner her or his own priest(ess), in direct communion with the gods. And where each and all witches can still remain within the larger community of The Craft, even if the various traditions are proud of their differences.
Recreating the Craft in a more Norse context is a choice for some of us, out of love to the land and some of its history. Gardnerian Craft in Europe, on a whole, seems not overly strict on doing things 'by the book': We try many things, we practice what works best and we encourage experiments. Norwegian Wiccans of today often borrow extensively from ancient practices, but use it mostly in a basically Wiccan format, as none of our own old rituals have survived in any detail. Norway, being rather on the fringes of Europe, consequently has developed many of its own practices over the last 8 years, since we were received into the tradition in England, and were given our basic training. (…) we do tend to work our Craft out in the woods, on hilltops, if it is not too cold or the snow not too deep, but we are not foolhardy. And we may use warm cloaks and robes more often than most, but we much prefer to be Skyclad, weather permitting. So our rituals would easily recognised as Wiccan rituals, even if the god names could be different. If we are conservative, it would be in the high respect in which our priests hold our High Priestesses, and in the importance we put on proper training and diligent practice.
Even traditional Sami shamans have come to Wicca in Norway, and found common ground with their own beliefs and practices. For the Gods may have many names and many aspects, but deep down the powers of the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the Sea and the Woods are basically the same, and in the healing of what ails mankind and the land, we all work for the same aims: Physical and spiritual wholeness and a universal community of love, happiness, peace and understanding'
