Like maybe its a really cold take but thinking it through i believe wicca is actually p smart in some aspects like... we can't really reconstruct everything because not everything that had value before has value now, but with wicca we don't need to do that, as long as one doesn't buy into some "ancient proto religion" narrative, you can mantain the perspective that yes, its modern, but it works today because we needed to go back to some earth based religion with modern values applied. Now that doesn't mean general paganism is not practical or that it can't be done, so far i consider myself pagan but i am starting to see the clicking cogs would it be weird to go into wicca from paganism lol
