Odalism

Odalism, from the Proto-Germanic word 'Odal' which roughly means 'heritage,' is a Teutonic Folkish movement based on religiosity in terms of it being innovated directly from one's own ancestors, rather than being adopted from outside cultures. because of the word etymology, Odalism is used only for people with Germanic ancestry professing such an outlook, it can contain Asatru, certain European based philosophical ideas. or even Christian extra-denominational ideas divorced from their biblical roots (as long as the parts in question belong to the same identity as one's heritage) and regards everything in this way. Odalists consider all things unique to certain spheres of influence creative to & for a greater definition of identity. In identity and an increasingly higher sense of autonomy through specific as well as general identity (identity at all levels) it can therein be seen how all people regard spirituality. Odalists believe everyone takes spirituality from their own terms, whether they believe in the universality of spiritual truths or not. for that reason, taking the terminology of spiritual ideas and the ideas themselves from culturally relevant historically understood sources is seen to allow 'the self' a more percise regard for spiritual ideas, all because there is a greater sense of identity. Odalists see all things coming from somewhere specific whether the thoughts those things yield profess universalism or not (compare relativism). That such a uniqueness can be universal to everything different is then thought to give a wider range for spiritual concepts to be regarded on a whole, and so does more honour to the aesthetic of religious methodology for everyone regardless of heritage. like a mutually exclusive differentialism, but because it's heritage based, it can be progressive by developing new concepts and not be bound to only the tradition of ancient ways (like Asatru), as long as the concepts are novel and not borrowed. this series of self-innovation is thought to help give the world more variation, conveniently allowing a simultaneous ideologic context for social darwinism. Odalism can certainly be seen even as a cognizant 'creative limitation' to one's view of reality, see also meta-ethics.
