im kinda stupid and didn't look at his author bio, he literally is a reconstructionist, he just has some weird desire to strawman other reconstructionists i suppose
btw this guy seems to be even more of a strict reconstructionist than i am, so idk what he's on about. (seems like he wants to reconstruct their social norms, is all im saying)
Skimming some parts of a book I got a while ago and the author said that reconstructionists don't recognize UPG because they "prefer to follow strict rules that simply cannot accommodate the concept of UPG" and that is literally just not true lol
Some things never change!
A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with joke inscription roughly equivalent to:
“I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂
Dated c. 70 AD, the stylus pen was found in London during excavations by MOLA.
The Roman inscription reads:
“I have come from the city. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able [to give] as generously as the way is long [and] as my purse is empty”.

I think Apollon enjoys marigolds, but I've never seen anybody else say that. You should find out on your own if he likes marigolds instead of taking my word for it.
You should have your own UPG that is from your own personal relationship with your deities/etc. People treating UPG as universal is how we get other people feeling inadequate bc their experiences aren't the same as their peers.

Watching a video by a pagan YouTuber about cults and I'm begging people to just say they have petty beef with people instead of saying everybody who is an asshole/they disagree with is a cultist
