They show that the Roman gods are innumerable, that each has a function and a precise profile, and that, individually, they are not all-powerful. This is a polytheistic system and, despite those who see an evolutionary progression from polytheism to monotheism, its deities were not moving towards monotheism.
Even as late as the fifth century, Christian thinkers, ardent defenders of monotheism, could still not get rid of the mass of ‘pagan’ gods. They ridiculed them but placed them among the demons.

An example of a food offering. Bread (preferably home-made) and different vegetable seeds are some of the most popular options alongside various nuts and small fruits like apples.
Читать полностью…White people are defenseless today because we can't think tribally anymore, and we can't think tribally anymore because of 1000 years of individual salvation.
All Aryan peoples once found salvation in the tribe. Homer says that the clanless man is the most wretched creature, unhappy because he will never enter the halls of his forefathers in the afterlife. When we were Christianized, suddenly the tribe didn't matter to the afterlife. Suddenly European man's salvation was not mediated through anything but Yahweh. The tribe was nice, your folk might be dear to you, but something was lost. The folk were no longer a matter of ultimate concern.
1000 years later, and this process has reached its logical end point. The folk is not only not the ultimate, it's secondary. Not only is it secondary, it's optional. Not only is it optional, it's a hindrance. Not only is it a hindrance, it's a moral evil. Not only is it a moral evil, it's the moral evil.
It all started with individual salvation.

Maximus the Greek was 15-16th century orthodox monk known for criticizing the clergy, their corruption, alcoholism and exploitation of the peasantry.
According to Maximus, priests:
"drank heavily every day with no exceptions. They were drunk and entertained themselves with guslis and tympanums and surmas. They cheered thieves with shameful lies while stealing mercilessly from orphans and widows."
Candle recommendation
Speaking of altars, regular rituals usually means using a lot of candles. Just a pet peeve of mine but I hate the smell of paraffin. Sadly the latter is the most common candle wax nowadays, but there are alternatives.
Beeswax is my personal favorite. It’s all-natural (even purifies air), burns well, smells well and depending on the region is not hard to find (or even make).
Try creating a temple yourself
Is wood expensive? Depends on the region, but generally it is. In Eastern Europe Pagans often build new temples because of vandalism, but the materials are cheaper there.
It takes skill, sure, but even though big God poles are preferable, you can use small ones. Just clean up an area, make it a circle/square, bring some stones/bricks to shape it and place a fire. You can bring the idols in before the ritual and take them home after it (will be safer).
A few enthusiastic believers can achieve a lot. For example this little temple was made by a very small group.
I do not to show the rituals on the net (imo iphones spoil the atmosphere), but can share some advice on daily practice for young Pagans.
Читать полностью…If you want to short-circuit any Christian argument, just take the position that Christianity is cringe and anti-authoritarian. It's true. The whole theology is based on rejecting tradition.
You'll see smoke come out of the Christian's ears. He'll either reveal his total ignorance of paganism, or will be forced to actually own it and lean into liberation theology, in which case he's already lost. Paganism did authority better than Christianity, and modernity did freedom better than Christianity.
Christians have had 1000 years to come up with all kinds of canned responses against every single metaphysical argument you can think of. But when you step outside the script, they're like a deer in the headlights.

Nick Fuentes' first loyalty is not to his people, but to an ideology.
/channel/nickjfuentes/13095
He would sooner replace the people than the ideology. As Christianity again becomes the religion of the third world, he will have to make that choice.
Folkish pagans don't have this problem. Folkish paganism is inseparable from our people. It is our people, and our people is folkish paganism.

This channel is dedicated to putting the folkish worldview on a solid philosophical footing. For too long "pagan philosophy" has meant ancient philosophy, much of which has anti-folkish foundations. We are offering something different, based strictly on our own traditions and the authentic spirit behind them. Both are compatible with the most cutting edge developments in contemporary philosophy.
This is what you will find here.
Folkishness is the future.

Racialism is not enough to be folkish. In-group preference is necessary of course, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. Folkishness is about more than just ethnic homogeneity.
If racialism is your whole worldview, then secular humanist liberalism has a window it can creep into. Even if you start from a religious foundation. After all, our Christian forefathers were "folkish" in that they were racialist. But their worldview led to atheism and globalism.
Folkishness starts at the bottom and completely purges all liberal and Christian priors. What we're doing on this channel is just that. It might seem radical and uncomfortable, even threatening at times. This is part of the healing process.

Catholics say that everything great in the West was because of Christianity. The "logic" is that whatever was at the helm at the time these great things happened, caused them. By that logic everything great in the Germanic world was because of Protestantism. No other religion has conquered more.
It's not hard to reject this logic, you just have to admit that great things have deep roots. Which means that most of what's great in the West has roots much older than Christianity. Anyone with half a brain can see this.
Do Christians even have one good argument?

Читать полностью…Altar
Having at least some idols and a special place for them is essential. Naturally, different traditions require specific details such as Slavic red corner rules which my altar follows.
You don’t have to follow the rules to a tee. After all one may not have enough space, money etc. My own altar could have been more accurate in terms of idols, but I can’t carve them myself or commission new ones (for now).
Really, as long as it’s not some universalistic wiccan bs it’s fine.
Clothes
There is a fine line between a business suit and bad cosplay. Historically accurate clothes are pricy. Some use camping and military camo. Not a fan.
In my opinion traditional is the best, but something clean and made with natural materials is enough. Brandless if possible.
In Rome it is the conception of the genius in which the idea of the continuity of the family finds its expression. This genius is not only the divine power of procreation, which in the individual case begets new life, but means also, as has been observed, a simile for the male seed, which from the father begets the son and from the son goes on to continue the race. The one and same seed that was in the father is in the son and will continue to be in the grandchildren and further generations. Here we have the sharpest conceivable contrast. It is not in the women, but in the men that the family is perpetuated.
History of Roman Religion by F.Altheim
Remember my retrospective of Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles? Recently I decided to read the rest of it (The Merlin Cycle). Already halfway through the Trumps of Doom. Not that many references to the myth and folklore (at least not the European ones), but it’s a fun, easy read, especially for someone young (I was in mid-teens when reading it for the first time).
Will write a review when done.
It’s time to express my gratitude to other Folkish Pagan channels

Here's another example of subversion in art. A feminist reinterpretation of Perseus holding Medusa's head. Intentional, open insult to the classic myth (and therefore values) of the Ancestors.
