Egbert have brought up some of the things I wanted to say, but he worded it better than I could so I’m not going to repeat things that have already been said.

I’m happy that people take the initiative to get initiated into Esoteric Buddhism. To participate in it’s depth and possibilities for you as a practitioner. However, getting into Esoteric Buddhism should be done on its own terms, as a Buddhist you place the doctrine on the top of your hierarchy. That is emptiness, impermanence, compassion for all sentient beings and so on, and only secondary can we be concerned with giving life to what remains of Pagan Europe.

We shouldn’t turn to the Dharma just to use it as a tool to justify Paganism, to resurrect the religious customs of the worldly aristocrats, commoners and peasants of ancient Europe. As if Buddhadharma were to be left behind once you have the paganism that you desire, which would be a foul insult to a very rich ancient religious tradition that have persisted through countless hardships and trials.

We can only make serious efforts with syncretism once we have years if not decades of mastery in the tradition we wish to use as a means by which we can give life to Pagan Europe.
