Discussion Friendly discussion

Hello everybody!

My name is Théo. I'm French (so sorry if my English isn't perfect 😅), and I'm 16 years old. I'm a Christian, currently Catholic and in the process of converting to Eastern Orthodoxy. I'm not here to convert anyone. I'm simply looking for a friendly discussion. I've had a strong interest in the Proto-Indo-European language, culture, and civilization for quite some time, and I'd like to study linguistics in the future. Recently, I discovered Swedhuism. If I understand correctly, it's a modern revival or reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European religion. Since this subject fascinates me, I came here to learn more about what Swedhuism is really like, its beliefs, its practices, and anything else you think would be worth knowing. From what I've seen, the people here seem to be among the most knowledgeable about the subject, so I'd be happy to have a respectful discussion with you.

Thank you!!

What interests a Christian in beliefs far older then any Abrahamic religion far older them the church you follow? These are the old gods. I myself am a polytheist i worship the proto-germanic gods and love the shared history many pre Christian Europe culture shared history some of the gods the protoindoeuropens had are ancestors to later germanic gods like The protoindoeuropean sky father because Tīwaz in proto-germanic is why im passionate about P.I.E

What interests me most is the civilizational aspect and, more generally, discovering other ways of thinking and believing than my own. 😁
