I have emphasized strongly the fact that except for a few industrial and commercial centers ancient Greece was a country of peasants and herdsmen and that according to modern notions many of its so-called cities were but large villages.

Meat was not daily or common food. One might slaughter an animal in order to entertain a guest, as Eumaeus did when Odysseus came to his hut, but this was considered as a sacrifice also. Generally speaking, the common people ate meat only at the sacrifices which accompanied the great festivals.

The show many of you have been waiting for is here!

Who are the Gods of Germania?

The goal of this is very ambitious. Nowhere, to my knowledge, is there a single show which covers every single God & Goddess in Germanic faith.

On the 25th of July, in the 25th year of this millennium, when many are celebrating Misseri Yule, and all the planets being visible in the evening sky, this interview you won't want to miss.

Our main guest is author & researcher, William P. Reaves. Along side him are returning guests Mr. Davis & possibly Mr. Osgood and Mr. Puryear of the Norrœna Society, they will go over theories & thoughts on the Gods & Goddesses of the Poetic Edda, using the Rydberg Epic Method. The insights & arguments they'll share are the basis for their practice of Heathenry today.

After the interview, our guests will do a short Q&A from the audience. This interview will be recorded, so if you can't catch the whole thing, you'll have it.

Sviatoslav destroyed the Khazar state, a powerful competitor which hurt the Slavic lands with their raids and demands for tribute. In 965, after covering a distance of several thousand kilometers, Sviatoslav conquered the Khazar capital Atil, forcing the Khazar magnates to hide on Volga River islands. Moreover, Sviatoslav conquered the second Khazar capital Sarkel on the Don River…

The Wends…have such a high regard for the bonds of matrimony that when the husband is dead the wife refuses to live. A wife is considered deserving of praise if she dies by her own hand and is burned with her husband on the same funeral pyre.

That’s pretty much all. The movie is just edgy action schlock with a subversive cherry on top. I know there’s a sequel, but I’d rather watch paint dry.

But the biggest issue is the message. Compared to it everything else is minor. One would assume that trying to make religion=bad type of movie while also featuring Gods and mythical beasts is a bad idea. But what do we peons know, right? We are not Hollywood writers. Now Perseus is a hardcore misotheist who won’t pray even to save his life.

As mentioned already, the plot just takes us from one action scene to another, much like the original, but since it’s all CGI now the artists, not being limited by the old tech, decided to jump the shark in every fight. Instead of just swinging swords and dodging everyone tries to show off their acrobatics skills by jumping and using WWE moves. Of course, the camera shakes to add energy to the already over the top scenes. Reminded me of Transformers. Good thing I was working out while watching most of the film. Were I to give this mess full attention it would probably make me sick.

Kraken is now a child of Hades which makes no sense since in the movie’s intro we are told that Kraken killed all the Titans and hence is the strongest thing in the world, but Hades still obeys Zeus whom he hates. And then this overpowered monster gets petrified by Medusa’s gaze which is a curse gods (in this movie’s lore Aphrodite) created. So why was Kraken needed to begin with? Zero though was put into this. All that mattered to the filmmakers was the spectacle. A shame it ended up being shallow and boring.

Now there are Djinn who look like arabs and one of them becomes part of the team. He speaks his own made-up language except one word. And as I was doing research for the movie turns out he has a name. Some muslim representation is exactly what the original needed, right?

Principal sources: Mythological eddic poems, Skaldic verse, Viking Age picture stones and Contemporary Christian views

To approach research effectively, we can structure the hierarchy as follows:

Primary Source Comparisons
Secondary Source Comparisons
Native Linguistics
Cross-Cultural Comparisons
Cross-Cultural Linguistics
Symbolism

Primary Sources: The Poetic Edda, Skaldic poetry, Archaeological finds

Histories and Sagas offer cross-cultural comparisons and retellings of older events. However, they are often reframed through centuries of Christian propaganda. Notable examples: Tacitus, Jordanes, Bede, Ibn Fadlan and Various sagas.

By prioritizing primary sources, critically analyzing contemporary Christian works and contextualizing histories and sagas, we can reconstruct a more accurate understanding of the traditional worldview.

Who are the Gods of Germania?

This is the full interview between Pagan Revivalism and author/ researcher William P. Reaves, featuring guest appearances from the Norrœna Society: Kyle Davis, Keith Osgood & Mark Puryear.

This interview is broken up into four distinct parts: Introductions, Foundations of Germanic Faith, Deep Epic Analysis, Rapidfire Analysis.

An accompanying table of contents will be posted separately so you can skip to a particular part you are interested in.

We went over deep theology, using sources and methods intrigal to the Rydberg Epic Method, which is used in research into Germanic faith as well as the bedrock for their revived practice of Heathenry today.

Some of the basic and most profound questions of theology are basic questions to anything, such as: who, what, when, where, why & how. Yesterday we covered Who are the Gods of Germania.

You may not agree with some of their conclusions, but this shows our faith is maturing into a highly revived & professional state!

Gods love you

The Thesmophoria and some other festivals of Demeter were celebrated by women alone.
Some scholars have thought that the reason for this was that the Thesmophoria had come down from very ancient times when the cultivation of plants was in the hands of the women. This can hardly be so, for the cultivation of cereals with the help of the plow drawn by oxen has always been the concern of men.
The reason why this festival was celebrated by women alone may simply be that the women seemed especially fit for performing fertility magic.

The significance of agriculture in the popular festivals occurred even to the ancients.
A survey of the Greek festivals with rites which are really important from a religious point of view shows that an astonishing number of them are agricultural.

Sviatoslav the Brave was the first prince from the Rurik dynasty to receive a Slavic name. The chronicle points to his bravery — he warned enemies before launching campaigns against them: "I am coming for you."

In numerous battles in the Balkans, the prince ordered to have the gates locked behind his troops so that no-one could take refuge behind the fortress walls in case of defeat.

In the movie most people openly hate the gods and take down their statues. The only ones staying religion are portrayed as fanatical nuts worshipping bad guy Hades. Good job, Hollywood!

And at the end of this mess Perseus doesn’t even marry Andromeda. No idea why. Guess being an ex-fisherman he knows there’s plenty of fish in the sea and Alexa Davalos is far from beautiful, but it’s supposed to be a story of Perseus and Andromeda. Just changes for the sake of changes.

New Calibos is just a boring angry man. He only has three scenes and barely speaks (2-3 lines at best). The fights he has with Perseus are probably the worst in the movie since instead of actually fighting they do some Ancient Greek wire fu. Sam Worthington backflips, screams and flies on wires because that’s all he does. I get irritated just remembering this.

Medusa is weird in the remake. What once was a highlight is now a disappointment. The CGI didn’t age well and I have no idea why they decided to doll her up. There’s a low hanging joke here with her stone-turning gaze and erection, but really who though it was a good idea? Are we supposed to feel sorry for her now? She still brutally kills Perseus’ allies and gets decapitated. Nothing changed except her being paradoxically both better and worse looking.

The supporting characters (there’s 5 or 6 of them) are all so one-note and boring the movie just kills all of them in one fight. Why did we have to wait for a whole hour? Why waste good actors like Mads Mikkelsen and Liam Cunningham on such cardboard cutouts?
