Reconstruction of a young Sarmatian woman. The anthropologist who did it says that he was not sure about the skin, eyes and hair color which is why there’s two versions. I prefer the right one since it fits other reconstructions.

Blue Stone
One of ancient Slavic artifacts which have survived to present day is Blue Stone located in Yaroslavl Oblast of Russia, near Pleshcheyevo lake.
After the rain it changes it’s color and turns blue due to its rare material.
In old times this holy stone was an object of worship and is still visited by Pagans today.

If you follow Christianity faithfully to the letter, you will find yourself anti-tradition, anti-family, and anti-racist.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14;26)
This is why Christians accuse you of taking scripture "out of context". A straightforward reading of the Gospels will make you the worst kind of liberal.
No, according to Christians, you have to read the deep and hidden meaning out of scripture (or into it).
This is ridiculous. The New Testament is not very profound. Most of it is just well ackshuallys overturning what was considered common wisdom in all traditions, like honour your father and mother. Its meaning is completely straightforward and plain. Jesus was speaking to slaves and lepers and prostitutes, not philosophers. But a straightforward reading will turn you against everything good and true and right in this world.

The religion of these primitive ages was exclusively domestic; so also were morals. Religion did not say to a man, showing him another man, That is thy brother. It said to him, That is a stranger; he cannot participate in the religious acts of thy hearth; he cannot approach the tomb of thy family; he has other gods than shine, and cannot unite with thee in a common prayer; thy gods reject his adoration, and regard him as their enemy; he is thy foe also.

The conquest of America was the latest manifestation of the great Aryan spirit
I’ve seen some Europeans being standoffish with Americans and it’s strange to me. Being born outside of Europe doesn’t make them any less of our kin. We were once known for spreading far and wide, wrestling the wild frontier. That’s exactly what the men who built the West did. The cowboy is a great ideal just like a viking or a spartan.
Cairn on the Headland
This obscure work of Howard’s is probably one of the most important ones to estimate the author’s religious belief. I’ve heard people in our circles talk of Conan being a big influence on them and at least esthetically a lot of the author’s works are Pagan, but Howard himself was (as far as I can tell) quite agnostic. In Cairn he did not hesitate to write a story from a very christian perspective since in it Wodan is treated as a malevolent being who dies in the battle of Clontarf and then almost returns, but gets banished by the Cross of Saint Brandon.
Jews were God’s Race until a date that Christians now set at sometime between A.D. 29 and 34; thereafter, they became a religion, since Jews who have been laundered in holy water miraculously cease to be Jews.
The effect of this paradox was to make Christianity seem anti-Jewish and therefore attractive to all the goyim who resented their exploiters, while preserving for the Jews their prestige as a wonderfully “righteous” and “god-fearing” people, who had long been the intimates of the Christians’ own god.

This same religion watched with care over the purity of the family. In its eyes the greatest of crimes was adultery. For the first rule of the worship was that the sacred fire should be transmitted from father to son, and adultery disturbed the order of birth. Another rule was, that the tomb should contain only members of the family; but the son born of adultery was a stranger. If he was buried in the tomb, all the principles of the religion were violated, the worship defiled, the sacred fire became impure; every offering at the tomb became an act of impiety. Worse still, by adultery the series of descendants was broken

Wolfshead is set in Africa. As Howard calls it: "dark, mystic continent, that baffler of explorers". Many of his stories feature an exotic atmosphere of the black continent. Despite the foreign land the main events occur at a European castle where a party of noblemen gather. One of them is our protagonist and the story is told from his point of view as a tale recounted years later. In the castle he meets de Montour.
The mystery is next to none since the reader can easily guess the culprit behind the murders, but the author still tells a memorable enough tale with a mix of European gothic and African exotic. The ending was rather weak though, somewhat conflicting with the tone of the rest of the tale.
I want to re-read some of the Robert E. Howard’s works. Interestingly, though I’ve read a few stories about Conan, the books I had in my library (back then it was my late grandfather’s) were mostly compilations of Howard’s novellas and short stories (e.g. Skull-Face or In the forest of Villefère), so to me he is a horror and mystery author first and fantasy second.
May end up writing some reviews, or just recommendations.
Gods from varying Pantheons can certainly share similarities and one can establish equivalences amongst them. However, it would be unwise to claim that they are exactly one in the same. Óðinn, Indra, and Zeus may share similar roles as patron-leaders, just as Šamaš, Sól, and Helios may be considered important sun-deities – but to go a step further, to say that Óðinn, Indra, and Zeus are all really the same deity, to say that Šamaš, Sól, and Helios are actually "the same entity but with different names" makes no sense, and is foolish to create this false sameness amongst them. This is not a situation in which different peoples are venerating the exact same holy powers that be, not at all, like, something such as Abrahamism where Jews, Christians, Muslims, Bahá'ís, and so forth really do worship the same power but with different names and interpretations thereof. (I know I use Abrahamic religions to make a point very often.)
These powers not all drive golden chariots, have only working eye, or are subservient to a Supreme Lord; and it would be doing a disservice to insist this false sameness. We may as well claim that angels and faeries are the exact same because they each have wings and represent goodness, but we know that would not fly, right?

Celibacy was a crime in the eyes of a religion that made the perpetuity of the family the first and most holy of duties. But the union which it prescribed could be accomplished only in the presence of the domestic divinities; it is the religious, sacred, indissoluble union of the husband and wife.
No man could omit the rites, and make of marriage a simple contract by consent, as it became in the latest period of Greek and Roman society.

Telmori are savage people who turn into wolves, live like nomads and steal cattle.
They are obviously inspired by ancient European Männerbund raiders.

New idols have already been erected, though their quality is lower (carver’s own opinion).

A few days ago russian temple of Krina commune was vandalized. All idols were cut down. It’s unknown who did this, but abrahamists are the usual suspects.
Even though Krina are zigger commies and deserve it, the attack was motivated by anti-Pagan hatred which makes it worth talking about.
Instead of going into details of the short and basic plot I’d rather quote a latter Howard wrote to Lovecraft (who was a self-professed Pagan).
"In making Odin a purely evil spirit, I did that partly for dramatic effect, and partly because I was writing from the viewpoint of the ancient Irish. They must have considered that god an utter devil, considering the murdering, looting and destroying habits of his worshippers. Their shrines and monasteries were burned and demolished, their priests slaughtered, their young men and young women butchered on the altars of the one-eyed deity, and over all towered Odin."

The best thing about the Wolfshead is it’s unique mix of traditional European werewolf story (though with an odd mechanics of the curse) and African setting. What I like is how back then one could write about a group of Europeans having a party in Africa and taking slaves without getting destroyed socially. The respect for old Europe is felt strongly in the work, especially when it comes to battle and three European nobles stand their ground against a horde of Africans.

In the forest of Villefere is a very short and plain story, but I feel quite nostalgic about it. Howard wrote it when he was 19 and I’ve read it around 15. The premise is simple, a Frenchman from Normandy called de Montour needs to cross the border as soon as possible and ignores the warnings of the locals about a wolf roaming the road at night. He is alone at first, but soon meets a masked stranger who offers to lead him through a secret passage in the forest.
Though the story is very short, it has some suspense. The twist is obvious, wouldn’t even call it one, but it’s a worthy read. Later Howard returned to de Montour in Wolfshead.
Wicca is just a leftist counterculture, not a religion.
