I was recently astounded to read in Richard Rudgley's 2018 book The Return of Odin that
Today in both American and British pagan circles, practitioners generally divide themselves into three basic groups: Wiccans; Druids, and those who follow some kind of Celtic religion; and Heathens, those who follow Germanic and Norse traditions [231].
Admittedly, the book was originally published in 2006; maybe things were simpler in those days.
Still, if I knew Rudgley well enough to tease him, or if I weren't a Midwesterner, and hence constitutionally incapable of public rudeness, I would really have to suggest that maybe, just maybe, he needs to get out a bit more often.
I don't know about Britain—although I have my doubts—but here in the US, I can assure you from personal experience that pagans come in lots more flavors than Wiccan, Celtic, or Germanic.
Lots more.
So I can't help but find it a jest for the gods that, in fact, I can recognize something of myself in all three of Rudgley's categories.
