Besides the importance of land in religion, the existence of a specific
religion among a distinct group of people is probably a fundamental ele-
ment of human experience.
What a religion does to a group of people on a distinct land is thus a vital
question for future analysis.

There's a tendency in modern paganism to think that the esoteric ("aristocratic") form came first and that the popular form followed. This is probably wrong.

Almost certainly, paganism grew from the bottom up, from local cults into tribal and national religions rather than the other way around. It also probably grew out of highly formal, ritual practices, and the myths came from those. This might seem weird because we can reconstruct very ancient myths in common across races, but the common rites are usually much older. The inward, esoteric stuff came later, the outward forms came first. This goes against an idealized picture of paganism descending from the nobility to the plebs, but history is too messy for these simple ideals.

One of the best scholars on this is Martin P. Nilsson. His book Greek Popular Religion is highly recommended, it will dispel a lot of kooky esoteric stuff about the Greeks. Ritual, "superstition", and the rural family are the basic shape of paganism. This is folkish religion, and at the beginning it was the only kind of religion.

Michov states that the Lithuanians deemed woods and groves to be holy and regarded them as the habitations of the gods." In a subsequent passage he relates that the Samagitti considered even the birds and beasts which entered the sacred woods to be holy. They believed that if anyone injured these woods or anything in them, the devils would make his hands or feet to grow crooked.

What is this channel?

Folkish Worldview is just what it sounds like. We collect and share the best aesthetics, theory, and practice of folkish paganism.

Here you will find the folkish worldview in the making. Folkishness is a recovery of something ancient, but was taken for granted by our forefathers, so they never wrote it down. It's our job to rebuild it.

All other worldviews are either slavishly repeating what others have said, or are making things up out of nowhere. Only we have dynamism and tradition. Folkishness is both the past and the future.

Join us.

This is the kind of schizoid rambling that passes for criticism of the idea that you can't be your own authority. Let's just pick a quote:

Race, nation and ancestry should never be the basis of worldview but the product of it

In other words, race is a social construct.

The accusation made against paganism that it’s just making things up, could not be more wrong-paganism is the sole alternative to “choose your own god”. The fact that we’ve been off-track for a long time hardly matters. Ancient error is still error. Ancient anti-authoritarianism is still anti-authoritarianism. The ancestral principle is simply the recognition that you don’t get to choose your own authority. Only paganism holds this principle consistently, because your forefathers didn’t get to choose their own authority either.

Plato thought he could do for the Greeks what Mohammed did for the Arabs several centuries later...His ideas were quite practicable just as certainly as those of Mohammed were practicable; for even much more incredible ideas, those of Christianity, proved themselves to be practicable!
A few hazards less and a few hazards more and then the world would have witnessed the Platonisation of Southern Europe and, if we suppose that this state of things had continued to our own days, we should probably be worshipping Plato now as the “good principle.”

As Yule approaches, let us spend more time with our families, ancestors, folk, with nature and most importantly to give back to the Gods.

The world of immanence is divine. This is what is contained in all traditional pagan lore, whether Homer, Eddas, or what have you. To disagree is to disagree with paganism.

"Items of The Three Functions" by myself

A conceptual piece symbolising the three functions of Indo-European society. The priestly caste is represented with white and a drinking vessel. The warrior caste is represented with red, a dagger, lightning, chariots and horses. The third producer caste is represented with blue and green, a plough, cattle, fertile bountiful land and beauty.
The three functions being represented as three objects can be found in this Scythian tale: "One day three gold objects – a battle-axe, a plough with a yoke, and a drinking cup – fell from the sky, and each brother in turn tried to pick the gold, but when Lipoxais and Arpoxais tried, it burst in flames, while the flames were extinguished when Kolaxais tried. Kolaxais thus became the guardian of this sacred gold, and the other brothers decided that he should become the high king and king of the Royal Scythians while they would rule different branches of the Scythians."

Who would worship a bound enemy of the gods destined to lead the inhabitants of Niflhel in the ship Naglfari to battle the gods to the death? Only a deranged mind would knowingly stand against the gods and godesses of our folk and those that do so, openly confess their fate and their own impending doom being cursed by the gods and nothing but Misfortune awaits them.
I personally believe those that do so mostly do this from ignorance. They do not know the lore, its history/epic nature and mostly do this as a social statement to appear cool and rebellious.

Physically the Celts are terrifying in appearance, with deep sounding and very harsh voices. In conversation they use few words and speak in riddles, for the most part hinting at things and leaving a great deal to be understood.

According to Erasmiius Stella, the Prussians said that the gods dwelt in groves and woods; here sacrifices were to be offered to them; from hence sunshine and rain were to be obtained. "They said that the gods inhabited the finest trees, such as oaks; from these trees enquirers heard replies given to them; therefore they did not cut down trees of this kind but tended them religiously as the houses of their deities."

Not a single trace of the jesus christ personage can be found in authentic history. Nevertheless, this newly fabricated hoax of jesus christ, the son of god, this idea, with all its suicidal doctrines, was soon to pull down in ruins the great Roman Empire and the great White civilization that went with it.
