20 posts held, back to 28 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 6 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
159 reactions across 20 posts, in 10 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 81.1% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 159 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 28 June 2026 to 6 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Today marks 6 years since I started my journey in Paganism, on August 6th, 2020. I can’t believe how much time has passed. In these six years, I have changed a lot. I have questioned my beliefs many times, changed some of my views, strengthened my faith, and learned to see many things differently than I did at the beginning. I still feel like I have so much more to learn, and that is what I love the most about this…

Lada: Goddess of Love or a Misinterpreted Tradition? The Problem of Historical Sources and Interpretations The name Lada is today one of the most well known names associated with Slavic mythology, especially as a supposed goddess of love and marriage. However, when historical sources are examined, the picture becomes much more complex. References to Lada appear only in later written sources and often differ from o…

Happy Lughnasadh to all my followers who celebrate it today 🌾 Today marks the ancient Celtic festival dedicated to the god Lugh and the time of the first harvest. It is a day of gratitude for the fruits of the earth, our efforts, and everything we have managed to achieve. @OnReturningtotheOldGods

I shared this video a long time ago, when this channel had far fewer followers, so I wanted to recommend it again to those who may have missed it. Really good video. The topic is very important, and I’m glad it was covered in such a clear and straightforward way. I think this is one of those topics where having a wider context and a deeper understanding is very important.

Belief in the Evil Eye: The Evil Eye in Ancient and Folk Beliefs Part 1/2 The belief in the power of the gaze is known throughout the world, and the idea that a person can harm another simply through their eyes is one of the oldest forms of folk belief. In Serbian tradition, this belief is known as urok or the evil eye, and traces of these ideas can be found in ancient sources. The Evil Eye among the Illyrians and…

In a secluded part of the courtyard of Rakovica Monastery, where Patriarch Pavle is buried, there is a bell with the inscription: This bell is intended for breaking clouds. Year 1927. @OnReturningtotheOldGods

Folk Beliefs and Traditions Connected to Storms Some time ago, I wrote about Dodole, one of the most famous Slavic rituals for calling rain. While researching that topic, I came across many other interesting traditions connected with hail, storms, and protecting the harvest. Some of them caught my attention, so now it is time to focus on the customs that were used as protection from storms. For our ancestors, storm…

Today, many people associate spiritual leadership with priests. Yet in many pre-Christian pagan traditions, women held some of the most respected spiritual roles. As seers, healers, ritual leaders and keepers of sacred knowledge. They guided their communities through prophecy, ceremonies and spiritual practices, helping people navigate both the seen and unseen aspects of life. These women were often regarded as wise…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @OnReturningToTheOldGods. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Shares as published. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.
Percentages only — there are no per-option vote counts here, because Telegram publishes none. The public post preview gives each option’s share and a single voter total, and nothing else. Multiplying one by the other would produce a per-option tally that looks measured and is not: the shares are rounded to whole numbers before we ever see them. We print what was published and leave the column that does not exist empty.
The shares need not add up to 100. Rounding alone puts many polls at 99 or 101. A poll that allows more than one answer per voter runs well past 100 by design, and several here do. The bars are drawn against a fixed 100% track at each option’s own percentage rather than normalised to the total, so a poll that exceeds it shows that it does instead of being quietly rescaled.
Read from the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 28 June 2026 to 6 August 2026. Telegram labels each poll by kind — an anonymous poll, a quiz, a closed set of final results — and that label is reproduced rather than paraphrased.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 3 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 5 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
