Following the changes in the political system and social changes in 1989, adherents of Slavic Neopaganism have so far registered five religious organizations, i.e. the Native Church of Poland, the Polish Slavic Church (both in 1995), the Native Faith (1996), the Western Slavic Religious Union ‘Slavic Faith’ (2009), the Religious Organization of Polish Rodnovers KIN (2024). However, in the already existing religious organizations, the centrifugal (secessionist) tendencies aimed at the creation of the regional religious communities independent of the central religious authorities can be observed.
In addition, many adherents of neopaganism of the Slavic Zadruga fraction function within unstructured social and religious or artistic groups, which the Polish law, and fundamentally, Art. 53 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April, 1997 permit. Other adherents of neopaganism have opted for non-organizational forms of legal formalisation such as secular associations, publishing houses or even a political party.
The European neopaganism is highly diverse with regard to religion, philosophy and culture as well as its legal form of activity. There are countries where they are important non-Christian religious organizationa (Iceland, Lithuania) or associations (Norway, Ireland, Sweden), whereas in other countries they operate as legally non-institutionalised groups of adherents.
