Why not choose one pantheon? 

Embracing just one pantheon would limit the scope and richness of the spiritual path offered by Religio Europa. By incorporating the diverse pantheons and practices of ancient European religious traditions, Religio Europa aims to foster a sense of unity and interconnectedness among European peoples, regardless of their geographical or cultural origins. This comprehensive approach allows for a more extensive understanding of the divine and encourages members to explore the full landscape of European spirituality.

Moreover, many ancient European religious traditions share common themes and values, which can be recognized and celebrated by bringing them together under one spiritual path. By honoring the shared values and beliefs of European spirituality, Religio Europa creates a spiritual framework that unites its community, allowing for deeper connections and a more diverse exploration of the divine.

Lastly, different individuals might resonate more with certain deities, myths, or rituals from various pantheons. Religio Europa's all-encompassing approach allows its members to engage with the aspects of spirituality that speak most deeply to them, fostering personal growth and a more profound connection to the divine.

Are you Pagans? 

-No, the first records of the word pagan come from around 1325. "It ultimately comes from the Late Latin pāgānus, meaning “worshiper of false gods.” Negative, disparaging use of the word pagan grew during the Middle Ages, which was a time of many religious conflicts and persecution of other religions by Christian powers."

Are you anti-christian? Or anti-abrahamic faiths, etc.? 

We respect members of other faith groups whilst recognizing that the abrahamic faiths are not native to Europe and therefore can't represent the peoples of this great continent or the diaspora appropriately, We approach our historical and cultural heritage with a critical eye, particularly towards faiths that have, through subversion and denial, exploited our people, lands, and traditions. However, we choose not to expend our energy on opposition, specifically not on being "anti-Abrahamic." Instead, we open our doors to those curious about a European spiritual renaissance, offering guidance and support to anyone seeking to embark on this journey of rediscovery and connection with our ancestral roots.
