If my own experience is anything to go by, you'll circle round and round and round for years and years. Only diff is that I never really believed, always atheist.
Perhaps my current rejection and ejection stage (e.g. got rid of books) is the final shedding and stripping. Who knows?

As for the runes and spells stuff, I suggest you're struggling with what you often see - many/most peeps fall into the whole thing. Divination, spells, astrology, etc. Only ones I've seen that don't do this are atheist pagans. But you (AFAIK) believe ...

Fact that you've stuck here, the fact that you tried that "FolkRealm" (?) forum website, the fact that you've put up your own websites and blogs suggests 1) you do want to communicate; 2) you want people to communicate with you; 3) you may not want converts but you want a sympathetic community.

Titans example probably mythologised regime overthrow by new elite.
Could say the first "regime" overthrow was that of natural giants - trees - by the axes of Neolithic farmers. Or even humans' part in the extinction of megafauna. We've always been killing giants; kinda furless ape we are.

The Flood came later, didn't it, with Noah? Unless you are taking the position that the structure of Bible does not represent most ancient texts coming first.

Had to google Nephilim. When I read Genesis it started -
Genesis 1:1-2
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

All indviduals, even within Christianity and Islam, have their own focus on part of the religion and not on other parts. So a kind of way of the individual is not unusual.
What I feel is peculiarly late modern is the supremacy of the individual.

Then there is no comparison to faiths that involve thousands or millions of people who, more or less, line up together. Such faiths can have orthos as they all have some means of establishing authority or basic agreement.

Depends on Christian - deeds are fundamentally important in some churches. They would argue that the orthos kinda hang together.
What we see is human nature - all and any faith ends up like this when it is no longer 10 people hanging out together in a shack living hand to mouth.

"Gýgratrú might be orthopractic/orthopathic." Who/what is defining the ortho (right, correct)?
It isn't a council of guys eventually getting together to decide what is orthodox and what is heretical.
We have, IMO, the late modern - ortho by individual, which is kinda an oxymoron.

Christians might argue for orthopathy as well - *love* God, *love* neighbour.
But emotions in humans are not independent of social and cultural structures and historical change, so ... do all these orthos lean on each other in some way?
