Neo-paganism is not an actual belief system. It is just an aesthetic choice. Varg and many right wing neopagans are very clear that they don't actually pray to the gods. The ones that do, like Evola and others, have a highly syncretic belief that is completely anachronistic to actual neopaganism (mixing neopagan beliefs with native American ones, Indian ones, etc, turning paganism into a racial identity, assuming there was some sort of "pan-pagan" identity, and so forth.)

The left wing neopagans and "witches" are just wanting to revive feminism in a more interesting way now that the movement is so mainstream and bland. Just like the anchronism of the right wing neopagans, the left wing feminists are often not even discussing historical paganism. Rather they are a leftover from the Witch-cult hypothesis that once was popular in comparative religion (and has since been disproven extensively)

At the end of the day, people just want to be different from other people and feel more unique/in touch with some sort heritage. I don't blame them for that. However, the ways that they are doing it in are escapist, are often completely different from historical reality, and are very rarely genuine (usually having to do moreso with political motivation.)
