This is unfair; quite a bit of it was made up in the 21st century
Me looking up from an absurd stack of archaeo-ethnographic papers & anthologies: “ok”
And many of its foundations were made up in the late 18th century
Folklore has survived by it is Christianized. Theres no lineage of original pagan beliefs
