A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
Iobates ordered him to kill the Chimera, believing that he would be destroyed by the beast, for it was more than a match for many, let alone one; it had the fore part of a lion, the tail of a dragon, and its third head, the middle one, was that of a goat, through which it belched fire. And it devastated the country and harried the cattle; for it was a single creature with the power of three beasts.
So Bellerophon mounted his winged steed Pegasus, offspring of Medusa and Poseidon, and soaring on high shot down the Chimera from the height.

Sport at home
It’s been more than a decade since I last went to the gym. The prices are just not worth it, especially with a long commute. But to stay in at least some shape I invested in simple exercise equipment. Not the cheapest stuff in the world, but long-term it definitely saved me a fortune. A bunch of dumbbells, a yoga mat and a barbell (I recommend a curling bar) are enough for most people. Your cat or dog can make a nice spotter. Might also install a chinning bar like I did. Expensive, but still cheaper than years of gym subscription. Get a jumping rope (they are cheap) and keep the hands a bit higher so that the rope won’t hit the floor and disturb the neighbors. Hand grippers are a great buy, as well as a power twister and chest expander.
For those into HEMA (Historical European martial arts) keep in mind that most sword drills don’t require that much space (I use a hand-and-a-half sword), so you can do those at home.
So I will try to sum up my journey in as short a post as possible, and want to give a big shout out to the channels Pagan Revivalism and Aryan Paganism, Traditions and Art, because without them I probably wouldn't have made it this far in my journey

Summer Solstice is here at last!
As the sun above reaches its zenith in the North, the days are longest and the nights their shortest, let us get out there and give thanks and praise. For our revival will be like the sun, giving forth light and life to our environment and folk. Our revival will reach its zenith in due time, and when it does our new golden age will come! You, today, are paving the way to make this dream a manifest reality for those who come after you.
Praise be the Summer Solstice, and soon Pagan Revivalism will reach its summer and all our folk will bask in light once again!
Gods love you!
^ Lack of gatekeeping is also how modern heresies such as Rokkatru, Thursatru, Lokeanism etc appeared when smaller communities were subverted by perverts and ex-satanists. When outnumbered NPCs always bend the knee to whatever degeneracy shows up.

The biggest thing that helped me develop genuine faith was my direct contact with the Gods. Happened a very long time ago, but it was incredible clear that the Gods gave me a message that day. Even an atheist would probably struggle to brush what happened back then as a coincidence. The probability of so many things just happening at the same is simply too close to zero.
That's why I always encourage people to try practicing. Don't rush it, of course, but don't live without rituals. My own experience is proof that when you actually get to both think and act as a Pagan, you will witness miracles.
Pagan fundamentalism (Paganism proper) means that your religion is the fundament (basis) of your worldview. It means being rooted in your ancestral faith. Example: Paganism is opposed to the theory of evolution because the myth state that humans were created.
Newcomers are slow to develop such traditionally fundamentalist, folkish view because most used to be atheists or atheistic christians.
The main issue for religion today is the concept of objective, universal (non-tribal) truth which philosophy-science promotes. That’s why philosophers were charged with impiety. Their fundament is not the lore of their people, but a bunch of supposedly higher truth. Later science popularized this approach which is why anti-folkish (rootless) pagans today use scientific data contradicting the lore as some counter to faith-rooted mythical literalism. All stems from the idealism-universalism.

Not sure why the author decided to add the star of david there. Other than that, it’s a nice collection of traditional European swastikas and other symbols.

Just a random question I was asked and paused since at this point I may be wrong. Is modern Paganism popular among Zoomers? Personally think it’s still more Gen X and there’s a lot of Millennial Pagans online (sadly some are bordering on being e-pagans). But I haven’t seen Zoomers in Pagansphere. Maybe it’s just my circle though.

Already in the morning huge crowds formed,
The anxious people stirred,
They whispered, swarmed,
In apprehension whirred.
They came to watch the fight.
Surveyors measured off the site,
And drove into the ground the rods.
The praying pagan priests
Were killing goats and other beasts
For offering to gods.
I.Kotliarevsky
Menfolk and womenfolk are not opposites, but rather are complementary, who come together to form new life. These families come together to form tribes which grow into nations. This is the beauty of marriage, an institution far older than judeo-christianity. For Gods made us this way, to be like them, and to follow the ways they gave onto us for our flourishment and to their glory!

Funeral of Patroclus
Jacques Louis David
It has sometimes been remarked that human sacrifices, which occur fairly frequently in Greek myth and early epic, are noticeably absent from the Homeric poems, an omission attributed to the humane sensibilities of the poet. There is, however, one seeming exception: Achilles' slaughter of twelve Trojan captives before the pyre of Patroclus in the twenty-third book of the Iliad: This incident so distressed Plato that he simply denied that Achilles had committed the deed, and the reactions of many modern Homeric scholars have been similar: shock and distaste (reactions sometimes projected back onto the psyche of Homer himself), a quick dismissal, or, more often than not, complete silence. Scholars of Greek religion and funeral practices, on the other hand, have shown great interest in the slaying of the captives, considering it valuable evidence for actual custom among the early Greeks.
D.D.Hughes
No tyrant has ever come forth and said: 'You know what we're going to do with this country? Let's break it up into little pieces, and then let everybody live on their own and not mess with them.' That's not what tyrants do. Tyrants say: 'Let's unite everybody under one single idea, and then we will force them all to believe in that idea.

Cecrops the first king of Athens
He was a half-man-half-snake, but despite such monstrous appearance Cecrops is remembered as a wise ruler who brought laws to first Atheneans and taught them how to build altars and offer sacrifice.
According to Pausanias:
Cecrops was the first to name Zeus the Supreme god, and refused to sacrifice anything that had life in it, but burnt instead on the altar the national cakes which the Athenians still call pelanoi. But Lycaon brought a human baby to the altar of Lycaean Zeus, and sacrificed it, pouring out its blood upon the altar, and according to the legend immediately after the sacrifice he was changed from a man to a wolf.

A lot boils down to the growth for the sake of growth mistake easy revivalists made. Turned out that the ideology of the cancer cell leads to cancer. In our case it’s gross heresies and atheistic (perennial/monist/platonist etc) revisionism.
Most pagan communities back in the 90s didn’t even do a basic background check. I even know a hilarious case of a rodnover community infiltrated by an christian priest. The guy eventually took it down leaking all the members’ personal information. ROC was created as a brach of KGB so it’s no wonder they use such tricks, but I think some American communities have similar relationship with CIA.
Pagan gatekeeping
Gatekeeping is divisive, but it’s also vital. Should we protect our community from newcomers? No, since then it’d stagnate. Should we protect our community from being overtaken by newcomers? Absolutely. Imagine a school where kids overthrew teachers and started changing the rules simply because they are a majority. It’s the same principle. Neophytes are very welcome, but pandering to them, trying to bend the tradition to fit their fresh out of the atheism/christianity perspective leads to Paganism in name only which we often see today. Many would rather water the faith down to superficial elements like drinking horns and runes to appeal to newcomers. That’s the quickest way to becoming a brosatru, dolboslav etc. Others stress the importance of learning the lore while hypocritically deconstructing the myth. Infamous pie perennial side does that the most claiming different traditions to be but versions of their reconstructed proto one while Gods are seen as archetype flavors. It’s the simplification brosatru employ but with a pseudo-intellectual tinge.

Gods be praised
All our problems can be traced back to idealism. It’s a separation from reality which led to the advent of anti-religions such as christianity and buddhism. Led to the modern leftist concepts like gender (non-physical sex) too. All because some ancient degens like Plato and jews wondering their endless deserts didn’t like the real world with its limitations. Also they were all closet atheists who went against the traditional literal, physical Gods of the Folk religions (aka Paganisms) and created platonism and abrahamism respectively.
Now after centuries of subversion their attitude is so mainstream that even some self-proclaimed Pagans are duped by the world of pure ideas.

Teucer then aimed another arrow at Hector, and there would have been no more fighting at the ships if he had hit him and killed him then and there: Jove, however, who kept watch over Hector, had his eyes on Teucer, and deprived him of his triumph, by breaking his bowstring for him just as he was drawing it and about to take his aim; on this the arrow went astray and the bow fell from his hands. Teucer shook with anger and said to his brother, “Alas, see how heaven thwarts us in all we do; it has broken my bowstring and snatched the bow from my hand, though I strung it this self-same morning that it might serve me for many an arrow.

Turn is my only enemy,
And he should fight with me alone.
The fate decreed that I, not he
Should occupy the royal throne.
To end this warfare for the royal jewel,
The two of us will skirmish in a duel.
Why should the people's blood be shed?
The sword, or gods will now decide
Who'd be the Latin king and guide,
Aeneas, or, perhaps, your Turn, instead

^ typical platonist attitude from the man himself. I don’t like it therefore it didn’t happen (or shouldn’t have). Those traitors don’t care about traditions and rituals since they are idealists.
