I find blood memory and discovering these things yourself is the way to go, however the patterns and wisdom that our long ancestors have discovered in the past can help speed up the process in my opinion and I find wisdom within them.
The poetic edda and the scattered archaeological finds can give hints and seeds, wisdom that was uncovered when our ancestors were following their own discoveries.
Basically the full and true nature of the gods of our kin and our understanding of them is a process of discovery, and even before the scourge against them occurred, it was still a developing field of our people, so if it wasn't ransacked as much as it was there would even still be more to discover, not set in stone doctrine etc.
I use the poetic edda and dig up historical info on my kin to help uncover useful wisdom for my kins survival and I use my blood memory and intuition to parse through it, I respect and gain much value from the old information, but I do not take it like an abrahamic doctrine and I connect personally like you.
for those who don't know: trial by jury of peers is from nordic/germanic tradition, it wasn't some idea thought up anytime recently, my kin were of such a virtuous stock and we used less legal laws and restrictions and rather lean on our own nature to judge, few laws are needed when the twisted aren't allowed to breath.

He cuts off the hair 112 of the offender, strips her, and in presence of her relations expels her from his house, and pursues her with stripes through the whole village. 113 Nor is any indulgence shown to a prostitute. Neither beauty, youth, nor riches can procure her a husband: for none there looks on vice with a smile, or calls mutual seduction the way of the world. Still more exemplary is the practice of those states 114 in which none but virgins marry, and the expectations and wishes of a wife are at once brought to a period. Thus, they take one husband as one body and one life; that no thought, no desire, may extend beyond him; and he may be loved not only as their husband, but as their marriage. 115 To limit the increase of children, 116 or put to death any of the later progeny 117 is accounted infamous: and good habits have there more influence than good laws elsewhere.
