Hello all, I've over the past few months developed a budding interest in our ancient mythos, but the main problem is that modern neopaganism (from the various sources I've found on the internet) seems more like an occasional hobby that disillusioned urbanites engage in rather than a serious day-to-day lifestyle. Which areas in Europe (or even European Russia) would you say have the most serious-minded traditionalist pagan ethos? Or at the very least which are working towards creating a self-sufficient lifestyle away from the trappings of urban life (not technophobic though)?
I have a Slavic background so I wouldn't be averse to learning another Slavic language to the one I already know, nor even to learning a Scandinavian one (although from my research it seems that the Slavic pagans are less LARPy than the Norse ones...).
If all of this is an exercise in futility, at the very least are there any cultural centers in Europe that you would say are more open-minded to traditionalist mythology that isn't Abrahamic? Perhaps Estonia, or Latvia? I'm open to pretty much anything (except for the mediterranean paganism). Or can you point me to a forum for this kind of stuff that could be more helpful?
