like didn't the original pagans believe that they were decedents of Odin or Seaxneot? How could an Italian be a Norse pagan?

'Pagan' is a pretty giant umbrella. Let's look at th Romans for example. It was literally imperial policy to fit the gods of people thy met into their own pantheon. Zeus is the Supreme god of the Greeks? That's another name for our Jupiter! They did this same shit with the Celts. They also didn't care who you worshiped, as long as to acknowledged that the Emps was also a god.

And on the other side, there was the followers of traditional faiths like Slavic polytheism or the various Celtic beliefs which varied from one community to the other.
I wouldn't say old beliefs were centered around ethnicity at all, in the case of the "isolationist" it was based more around the village or tribal unit considering this was at a time when communication between communities was limited considerably.
