Exoteric is defined as, "intended for or likely to be understood by the general public."
Esoteric is defined as, "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest."
Using these definitions it becomes clear what historical Paganism was. There were public temples, public sacrifices & rituals. Does this mean, high priests wouldn't have had specialized knowledge, of course not. Just as an expert blacksmith would have specialized knowledge about his craft. But the idea they hid away knowledge for only a select few is patently false.
There were Esoteric cults in the Pagan past, such as the Pythagoreans with a cult leader, abstaining from blood sacrifices, having secret rules, hidden clubs and secret handshakes inspiring the likes of free-masonry. Pagan peoples were highly against these.
In 508 bc, Cylon of Croton led Pagans to burn their houses, killing many and driving the rest to exile like Pythagoras himself.

He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read."
