I am obviously not Hap, but I can empathize with a similar identity crises when it comes to pretty much all neo-pagan things. (I think a lot of people can.) I’m half Korean and half white American Euro-blend, and I’ve immigrated to the UK. So I guess I have that last bit of living in England now, but I have a mixture of other things going on, too. How do I resolve East and West? I always felt really out of sync with the heavily Celtic aspects of Wicca and mainstream paganism when I was in America.

That said, I think the 3 practices and concepts of local spirits and gods are elements of Fencraft/Landcraft which can be applied anywhere and so you could view yourself as using “elements of Landcraft,” in your personal practice, if not the English-centric tradition. In my identity crises mentioned above, I mostly just have nameless local and family spirits I work with. I move often, some travel with me, some stay behind.

(That said, I have no idea how Hap feels about that. I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone.)
