It's a sad fact many "converts" abuse the lack of a native European religious moral authority to affirm their existing habits and vices. Usually ex-Christians totally incapable of controlling their vices, they convert to abuse every ambiguity to try justify their lives.
They treat apostasy as a liberation from chafing moral obligations, their "conversion" giving them licence to now indulge in every proclivity without guilt or circumspect. They treat the cultus deorum as a blank canvas they can use to paint whatever morality they desire.
They are in practice theologically indistinguishable from New Age religion, their only point of difference being what flavour of politics they've projected into their personalised, retrofitted cult. All "pagans" of this variant can simply be neatly labeled 'postmodern pagans'.
Pomopaganism is a cancer that threatens the European return to the Gods, especially now as our reversion is in its fragile infancy and very susceptible to corruption and evil influences. Though naturally we entrust ourselves to Jove's eternal victory, we're to afford no leniency.
It's likely obvious by now if you've been following me that I am very polemical and my targets are not exclusive. I admit I may be more argumentative than the average person, but I must insist there being a moral impetus upon us to shine truth wheresoever it has been obscured.
There are good people, though true to proper observance themselves, that have opted for what they believe is "pragmatic", choosing to tolerate waywardness within the cultus deorum. They often argue that it is more important to focus on our commonalities instead of differences.
I am compelled to disagree totally.

I believe the attitude arises from being raised under liberalism, seeding within the subconscious the democratic a priori that compromise and conciliation are virtuous ends in themselves.
Compromise and conciliation is a modus vivendi of stagnation and impotence. To distort the observance of truth right from the start by comingling the pious with the impious for the mere sake of "getting along" is to violently skew the long-term trajectory.
If we cannot get it right from the start, we certainly will not get it right at some later time. It is false reassurance to believe that these issues can be later "ironed out". Only purity begets purity. Whatever is made impure from the beginning will remain impure until the end.
Conciliation with the pomopagans does not serve the Gods. We may attempt to educate them, but surely we're obliged to reject them should they refuse to learn.

Simply consider: if they won't listen now, why would they listen later after they're even more influential and numerous?
Pomopagans are one with the modern disease. This cancer may give the appearance of loving the Gods, but this is a façade. When taught the true nature of the Gods, they become resentful. If they hate the Gods as they truly are, how can this be anything but misotheism?
The "gods" of pomopaganism do not exist. For so long they continue to hate what is true of the divine, they are merely self-indulgent misotheists. The "gods" they purport to worship carry a stolen aesthetic and their cults are built of tatters pillaged from Europe's heritage.

Much in the world makes sense when you realise that Judaism values a witness' observation of an event more highly than evidence for the event itself. Its judicial system relied on witnesses, the Torah stating two or more witnesses was enough to indict someone of a crime.
This attitude of legitimate truth via witness came to us in Christianity, whereby the whole of Europe observed the truth of Christ not by evidence but by witness, and so we embraced the authenticity of witnessed account over evidence. Hence forgiveness absolves evil by agreement.
This enough was sufficient to build a moral system of witness, a necessary consequence when you observe the most fundamental truth—that Christ was God—as being grounded in witness accounts and not by material evidence or reason. These are rejected, there is only witness truth.

It is more than mere preference. Platonism is Soul's divine science towards truth, so the judgement is in what can be argued as nearer to what is true rather than what best suits our sensibilities. Platonism emerges from tradition, but it has also been refined over centuries.
And this divine science gives us the means to perfect our traditions, an unprecedented capacity to not only know the true value of the inherited cultus deorum, but to also rectify its path should it be led astray and to help navigate it through the tumult of an unknown tomorrow.
Setting praise aside, the subject: goddess Sun & god Moon.

Why Platonists have argued against this tradition is from trying to justify them as principles. The Moon is a receptive sphere, truth of this most easily observed in the Moon's light being a reflection of the Sun's.

Why believe in many gods and goddesses?

Because the supremacy and glory of the Supreme is not to be thought compact or contained, but overflowing with an immeasurable magnitude. His court is not vacant, but filled with his divine godly vassals and holy retainers. Image
All the cosmos in its multitude of forms stand as testimony to the supremacy and beauty of their King- why should beauty be here in such grandness and magnitude, and not 'There'? Surely we may say, with certain confidence, that what we find grand here must be even grander there.
For all the things which are here, with their imperfections and partiality, there is a greater who rules them in Heaven. Even the things in nature which we say are dead, without life- surely these things in their highest heavenly perfection are filled with life and consciousness?

It is frustrating that Christians, when asserting the resurrection's historicity, their evidence is just the mere alleging by NT authors of there being some many hundreds of witnesses. When suggesting they could just be fabricated, it's replied "the lie would be simply too big."
It shouldn't need to be said that the rate at which information spread in antiquity has utterly no parallel with today. There is this strange assumption that these witnesses could be verified with, that fabricating them would be impossible because people would check on them.
Near all of these witnesses have no names, the only named being the religion's principal evangelists, but even if they were named in their hundreds upon a grand list, an Antiochene convert couldn't just wander down to Judea to check the veracity of the claim, let alone a Greek.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the
organized habits and opinions of the masses is an
important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute
an invisible government which is the true ruling
power of our country.
“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.
“Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.

Greco-Roman culture is generally still thought as superstitious today. But as for the "aesthetics", it's quite rich to enter into the European world and ask why it doesn't love and respect your culture - a culture totally alien to Europeans - the same as it does its own.
If you have internalised a belief that European culture is superior to your own, then that is your own issue. There is no obligation on Europeans to reciprocate love just because of this, just as there is no obligation on other races to love Europe.
The "what about my people" plea is so pathetic and comes entirely from an internal presupposition of intrinsic cultural/racial inferiority. It presumes that European culture is superior and preferred, and then seeks to supplant it.
