Choosing a monotheistic worldview to describe/explain our world, is like trying to create a masterpiece painting with just one color.
It’s like trying to compose a magnificent symphony with just one note, or trying to write a marvelous poem with just one word.
Yes, I prefer the indigenous pagan worldview over the monotheistic worldview, because the monotheistic worldview gives us a world that’s monotonous, colorless, featureless, void of beauty & spirit.
The pagan worldview gives us a very complex, intricate, greatly diverse, beautiful world. It gives us a world with many colors, where even each color has many different shades. Each god/goddess is like a different element, aspect, note, letter of an alphabet.
And I’m not saying that all of the pagan gods were just a metaphor for something. I believe it’s both. I believe that there were god-like people living on earth in physical form who were referred to as the gods, but there were other gods as well, gods that did not possess a physical form or human attributes. I think these types of gods were a metaphor for something else like an element, or force of nature, a celestial body, or even an aspect of the human psyche
The gods are just as unique as each human, or each individual snowflake. They are just as complex as a human psyche with all of the different personality traits, virtues, types, etc...
Looking at our world with it’s never ending complex systems, from the biggest things known to us in the universe, to the tiniest of particles, shows me that a monotheistic worldview is false.

Many spiritual folks from European origin love the colourfull artwork of Hinduism. But why not looking for colourfull artwork from Teutonic origin? The Pennsylviania German people in the USA preserve their beautiful heathenism that they brought with them from Europe. One of the aspects of the Pennsylvania German culture are their very colourfull Hexesigns/barnsigns. This video is an interview with a man named Hunter M Yoder and he makes hexesigns. I really enjoyed listening to this excellent interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPITnvLKKk&t=885s

I noticed the same happening in my country of birth (Russia). Until just recently, many modern white westerners who decided to separate from Christianity, and search for spirituality elsewhere, quickly got sucked into some new-age, hippie Eastern spirituality cult/group.
For a while it was a trend among the white Westerners who no longer wanted to be part of Christianity, but still wanted to remain spiritual. It was what everyone did at the time, and people simply got in line behind others. I see this happening even today.
This raises a question why would the modern white Westerners choose to look to foreign cultures for spirituality, instead of looking to their own ancestral European pagan heritage?
I don’t claim to know the correct answer to this question, but I think that most modern-day white westerners look to Eastern cultures in search of spirituality, because most modern white westerners weren’t even aware of their ancestral European pagan heritage until just recently.
Until very recently, most white westerners didn’t even consider themselves part of indigenous culture. The only identity they’ve been programmed with is Christian Western society. Modern white westerners didn’t even realize that they are no less indigenous than any other indigenous peoples.
White westerners always seem to be in awe of the foreign indigenous cultures such as Hindu, Native Americans, Chinese, Maori, etc... The white westerners look at these cultures with great respect, admiration, and even envy. They view them with envy, because modern white folks mistakenly believe that all of those foreign indigenous cultures have something that they don’t, and that would be an ancient past, ethnic roots, native spiritual heritage, shamanic traditions, ethnic mythology and folklore, and indigenous way of life.
I think it’s wonderful that modern white folks view these foreign cultures with great respect and admiration, but they should never feel envious of any foreign indigenous peoples, because modern white people do have ancient roots, and do come from indigenous cultures that have shamanic traditions and their own unique, folklore & mythology, and tribal pagan spiritual heritage.
For a while there white folks were cut off from their ancient source, their native roots, their shamanic traditions, their land/natural environment, their way of life.
For generations, the white folks were rootless, and the captors snuck up at night while everyone was asleep, and placed some new seeds in the empty place where our roots once were. The captors were able to sneakily grow new roots, and attach these new roots to the rootless white folks. So now we have the modern white folks who’s true ancient roots were cut off, and false & foreign new younger roots were attached. These new, young, foreign roots is the “ Christian western society”.
But you see, the captors didn’t realize that they didn’t kill of all of the ancient roots of the white people. Some tiny parts of the ancient true roots survived, and sprung back to life.
