Not hugely surprising overall but I'm wondering how it is that I had "Old English Heathenry" at #2 and "Asatru" at #14, which seems really odd because I'd consider my heathenry a lot closer to the latter.

Hehe. It placed me at #7 with Druidry and #20 with Discordianism.

I'm not sure it's accurate at all :)

Yeah, I'm not so sure on accuracy. #1 was Hellen (OK, but I've never practiced it), and Druidry was down at #9 (?!?). However, Heathenry, both Old English and Asatru, showed up higher than I expected. Yet I've pretty much always identified myself with Druidry. Go figure.

Interesting: Hellenic was #1 for me as well. . .

Maybe we're all Greek and we don't know it? Or maybe we should take the more sinister approach: It's a consipiracy by the Illuminati to get us all to convert to Hellenism!

Discordianism at #20 my left foot. :)

I'm thinking that one thing is that there's no mention of pantheon, and for a lot of us that is going to be a primary consideration. The quiz focuses on practices amd so forth, and that's pertinent if all else is equal--but if you have perfect Asatruar ethics but it's the Egyptian gods who call you, you are probably going to go Kemetic regardless.

Vedic? Me??

Um, well Druidry was #5 -- after Vedic, Slavic, Old English and Finnish for me. Not sure about this one... except that Discordianism came in 19th (ack! that's higher than on chronarchy's list)

I also found it interesting that it was ADF Druidry that seems to be used as the standard for this quiz (that's the website you're sent to for more info, in any case)--nothing wrong with ADF but I do know that it's a little unusual. Then again, it's harder to define Druidry than it is to define Wicca, and that's saying something!
