Yeah, true that. Hell, reconstructionists in general are pretty rare, much less finding the rare thing within a group of rare things. ;) Also I've always been a lil uneasy around German pagans, unfortunately there's a strong undercurrent of white nationalism that has co-opted/corrupted some of it and it's hard to tell them apart at a glance.
Though Wiccans aren't reconstructionists in the usual sense; they're not rediscovering/recreating something that once was so much as syncretizing something new out of the pieces of a bunch of pre-Christian/indigenous practices.
Yeah the germanic thing is quite unfortunate.. the main symbol for romuva also catches the religion a fair share of drama tho x3
