I relate with your experience, and many others written in the comments. I am still struggling with finding a community though. I was living in the US when I first met this music, definitely felt the call. Met some self-claimed pagans but they were mostly superficial wannabes who're just seeking a new trendy identity for themselves, rather than liberation from all identities and finding the essence. You know, like the saying goes, 'putting a feather on your ass won't make you a chicken'. Then I moved to Europe last year, thinking I can find more geniune people here. Since I'm Turkish (we were Siberian shamans before forced Islamization), I am a bit worried about the increasing racism in Europe, and still not sure if this paganic going back to roots cultural movement in Europe means the roots of all humanity or just a new way of expressing racism of the white supremacists, but we'll see. I hope everyone finds their place in the ONE tribe.
