I'm just curious if there are any Odin worshippers or druids or what have you in this community. I'm thinking about that Nazi pagan in DC but I know there's lots of pagan comrades who would hang him upside down from a tree.

    I definitely don't want to direct this exclusively at European pagans! I should have made this more clear in my post. I would love to hear from any other minority religious/spiritual groups.

    And I think you're absolutely right about pagan syncretism in LatAm Catholicism. That's a well-documented phenomena with a lot of different variations through Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

      With you and @CrimsonSage I'll be honest this the first time I've heard that word, syncretism. It's cool, I guess I like the word pagan too but in my mind I've always interpreted that word to mean like druids too.

        syncretism isn't specifically for paganish LatAm Catholicism. It's the anthropological term for a mixture of cultures/religions.
