Unless your talking about Latvia and parts of Lithuania then there was no
recorded "pagan" religion during the historical period we are
"re-enacting"(to use that term in the loosest and broadest sense).  Sorry but
this underground religion stuff is a modern, New Age creation, just like
Wicca, it was created during the good old 20th Century, most likely the 60's.
 Did people of Europe have superstitious practices, yea verily.  These are
well recorded, and generally have some Christian part of a "spell" that
involves saying the name of a saint or "numeric magic" from a significant
occurrence in the Bible.  The use of astrology is also very well documented.
For a look at late medieval practices I'd recommend  K Thomas RELIGION AND
THE DECLINE OF MAGIC.
