Lol, syncretic and Anti-Historical inaccuracy, no paradoxes there. Plus against the basis of every ancient religion, spiritual medicines. No thank you

What exactly are you responding to, may I ask? The modern concept of paganism, the community in question, that mods’ intents, or whatever the historical concept of paganism meant…?

There’s a world of difference between a Nordic witch learning about West-African magical traditions and someone pushing the “Ancient Aliens - Akashic Records” theory. Syncretism has been widely practiced along the ancient world. A clear example is the goddess Venus, also known as Aphrodite… And Astarte, and Isis, and Inanna. She was not a Greek goddess originally, but was acquired by the Hellenic people from trade Egyptian and Mesopotamian people.
Another clear example is the Berenike Buddha, which was found in an Egyptian port city and is theorized to have been made in Alexandria around the second century CE. That suggests that Egyptians were blending Buddhism and the Dharma into their practice and ritual at the time. Religion has always been syncretic, so there’s no reason to silo them off today.
I also don’t know what you even mean by being “against the basis of every ancient religion”.
