I will return to interviews, at least I plan to, though so far there's not enough interviewees.

Hard Polytheism gets the strongest responses out of people, and it's no coincidence why that's the case.
A hard polytheist doesn't feel the need to tell other's that they're "low-iq peasants" for actually believing in & following the Gods, ancestors, & legends of their folk. Or that they're "living in ignorance, because if different Gods share one similarity, they must be the same God."
Usually, hard polytheism is hand waved away in favor of modern ideas of divinity, like Jungian Archetypes. Carl Jung was a christian. He viewed Pagan faith as people worshiping characters in a cosmic play. The play would play out in accordance with cultural values and things of this nature, hence variation. It's curious that he never applied the same concepts to his own religion (yahweh = sky-father, michael = striker, jesus = dying and rising, etc.). Thus, his analysis was done in bad faith. The question to soft polytheists is, are you willing to worship yahweh the sky-father archetype to be consistent? If not, why not?
Very concise points made by APTA. ☝️
Religion devoid of a living and organic identity is hollow. Our forefathers understood that their faith was their tribe - and their tribe their faith.
Be of your own tribe and be of its native belief. This is to be Pagan.
The Christianization of Poland took several centuries and started when the first ruler of the Polish state, Mieszko I, got baptized in order to marry the Christian princess of Bohemia, Doubravka, around the year 965. This established the Polish-Bohemian alliance, which strengthened his grip on power.
However, the Polish folk were not having it. Mieszko I and his 3 successors/descendants all faced revolts almost immediately after their coronations in 1025, 1026, and 1076. The most notable one being the "reakcja pogańska w Polsce" (pagan reaction in Poland) in the 1030s.
Unfortunately, Mieszko I's baptism formed close ties with the Catholic Church—which up until the 12th and 13th centuries remained a foreign and unpopular establishment in Poland, imposed upon its populace by a governing elite driven by their own political and expansionist objectives—which gradually gained enough political influence to consolidate its rule over the Polish people, despite their many uprisings.

We Europeans are noble people
Divine blood flows in our veins
Honor the Gods and Goddesses
Honor the Ancestors
The main issue with hereticts is that they say: Gods can't have men-like qualities. My answer to this is that it's not God resembling us, it's us resembling our Gods. In all traditions mankind is created by the Gods with a mix of their own divine Blood (or spit, breath etc).
Subverters want to sever this conection with the Gods hence why they promote abstract, atheistic views.

Paganism is not occult
Ancient occult teachings were heretical sects. Modern occult is a quirky hobby. The spiritual element is none, but there's plenty of merch. Basically it's just atheists exploiting bored housewives and rebellious teens.

I see way too many people writing runes in English corresponding to each Modern English letter and not how it should be written, which is phonetically. You write according to how a word is sounded, which often is very different from how it is spelled in Latin characters.
I will provide an example sentence.
"I am here."

Too many people would write it as this, letter by letter, which is incorrect.

Sound it out: it literally says
"Ih ahm herreh." which is basically gibberish.

De-humanizing Gods is a heresy
To understand the traditions of Europe we have to delve into what was considered heretical by the Ancients. One such thing is the idea that Gods are perfect and separated from the real world i.e. what Xenophanes and later Socrates/Plato taught. In Homer's Iliad (as well as other texts) Gods are individuals. They have personal traits (even negative ones), they can interact with the world of men, have sex and even die. To Xenophanes this, despite being his tradition, was wrong. He said that both his own and foreign people (Thracians and Ethiopians) just humanize abstract divine powers. For this Xenophanes was offered either to die or to be exiled. Chose the latter. Later Socrates expressed the same views and got the same choice. Chose the former.

Xenophanes taught that there’s a universal power all people stupidly interpret as distinct ethic Gods. He is respected by modern muslims.
Guenon taught that there’s a universal tradition for all people on Earth. He became a muslim.
Anti-Folkish subversion is not a modern thing. Early on such ideas were met with proper action (Xenophanes was exiled and Socrates was executed), but as time went on those occult (secret, marginal) teachings managed to spread, mostly during the Axial Age, though there were some anti-Folkish traitors long before it (e.g. Akhenaten)
