You make a solid case. I guess if someone wishes to use the term folkish within closed circles, very well, but for public purposes, indigenous is absolutely the best choice. You know, for many years, I didn’t even realize there was a distinction between pagan and polytheist. My own views have long been much in alignment with so much of what you yourself advocate and write about, but it wasn’t until discovering your blog that I became fully aware of how pagans and polytheists define themselves and just how much of a rift there in within this realm. Actually, I found to my dismay, that so many of the adherents of the old religions were so universalist and watered down to the point that I couldn’t really relate to them. You see a lot more ethnic/cultural/indigenous pride and awareness in the heathen community than in, say, the Celtic community, and I’m not talking about the white supremacist types, either. But as you say, there is not generally as much awareness of the bigger picture regarding how all peoples were once indigenous and how we should be working to reclaim our sense of self as people of the earth. Some get it, some don’t, and some only on an intuitive level. I feel like it was my connection to the Cherokee that enabled me to understand this concept at such an early age, even though I didn’t really have a word for it.
