Nat worship in Burma is also like this.

Thing is, while eastern spirits are not "our guys" its undeniable that what they practise is in some form similar to what germanics did. Aka some kind of landbased polytheism.
Now, what we have to admit is:
If its supposed to work over here (gods and soil-beings.) it should also work over there the same way, with different peoples contacting different beings in different ways and sometimes different purposes ofc but with the same groundwork. We share the same reality and earth, so the same basic principles must applie. Even christians sometimes admit this when they claim that hindu gods are demons-thus recognising something foreign as undeniably real but interpreted in their worldview to circumvent conflicting views.
These asians actually have more experience though as their line of worship is unbroken so looking at them for the sake of comparison or as a rolemodel concerning a strong ritualised connection with deities can be helpful and must not implie that you'll adapt some malay snakegod or pray to Odin with tamil-hindu mantras.
Furthermore, them practising the way they do despite of muslims surrounding them in a densily populated modern country demonstrates that an asatru way of life is indeed compatible with modern times.
