A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
Primitive societies, or those that are considered primitive, are governed by kinship relations, not economic relations. If these societies were not subjected to destruction from the outside, they could exist indefinitely.

Julian believed that each ethnic and national group had its own unique origin, character, and god, and that it was ill-advised to attempt to modify the cultural and religious traditions derived from this organic uniqueness.

There have been many reconstructions of a workable, modern Germanic religious calendar. The names of the holy days vary from one version to another, dates may be a little different, and there are seeming discrepancies. But it was this way in ancient times, too, different tribes gave highest place to different Gods and Goddesses, and the timing of some festivals depended on the local climate.

The Vikings didn't invade the British isles until the last pagan King had died. I do not believe that they were raiding for self gain, it was a direct response to Christianity and the threat that they recognised. There is a reason why they went for the churches and monasteries first. Near where I live, the Vikings destroyed the cathedral. Their leader, a prince named Thorkill, who came with 66 ships, turned the cathedral into a Temple for Thor and made his wife Priestess. There are many stories like this. I consider that a heroic act.
The people of Dublin were named "The people of Thor" after the Viking invasions. There was a large, sacred grove planted in Dublin which was destroyed by the traitor Brian Boru.
The Vikings were not the savages depicted on TV shows, they were Asatruar who understood the importance of honour and bloodlines.
I do not believe the manipulated history books when they try to convince us that the invasions were for riches, or even for farmland. as Irish soil is full of stones. Even today, Denmark has 59% arable land compared to 6% in Ireland!
1066 was the worst catastrophe ever experienced in the British isles. The Normans were traitors. They executed all of the natural anglo-saxon noble class and replaced them with Z*onists and their supporters. It is because of this event, and others, that we find ourselves in our current, dark, mess.
I will refrain from commenting on the current Royals and my thoughts on their bloodlines.

By using sources not used by folklorists on a subject not touched by historians we will show how the word “troll” changed meaning over the centuries. In sources depicting pre-Christian times, trolls are described as a menace to gods and humans alike. However, after Christianity gained political acceptance, the term troll was used to refer to the dead ancestors, in a conscious attempt to stop communication with the living dead.

Читать полностью…1. Thor has a flaming red beard and blue/grey eyes. This is corroborated in all sagas and folklore. He is a Teutonic god, unique to our people going back to at least the Nordic Bronze Age. It is absurd that he would appear otherwise than do our people; being fair skinned, light eyed, and fair haired.
2. "Norse Paganism" is a fake label. All Teutonic cultures valued women in their duties, roles, femininity, motherhood, and sacral positions. All Northern European cultures do so, only Abrahamic religions treat women as chattel. Women were not "empowered" to be whores, layabouts, traitors, or men though. All these things were forbidden to ensure social harmony and the legal protection of women, and the latter only occured with an extremely small handful of female warriors, and never as warlords over men, whereas acting against your sex's roles was expressly forbidden. Germania and the sagas of Iceland speak explicitly about these things.
3. None of the gods are immigrants. The Vanir and Aesir fought a war over who would rule supreme, they were rival tribes, and this is an archetype dating back into earliest prehistory, because tribal conflict is a part of life. Ingroups vs outgroups. Not to mention the gods and giants and other spirits all represent natural forces and facets of human nature, one cannot ascribe human level politics to the myths. Grimm and the Poetic Edda make this quite clear, as does Dumezil in his study of Aryan religions.
4. There are no faggot gods. Loki comes closest and he is the most villanous, treacherous, and reviled figure in all of Teutonic lore. Again, the gods and giants and other spirits all represent natural forces and facets of human nature, one cannot ascribe human level deviances to the myths. Germania explicitly states that homosexuals were killed for their actions, men were executed for rape, adulterous women were exiled, and the Norse law codes explicitly state being called "ergi" (passive homosexual) was grounds for starting a blood feud that eventually consume all of your and the aggrevator's family for generations.
5. Abortion was extremely uncommon after the first trimester in ancient times. It was understood and accepted that a woman would take herbs and teas to bring on a period if they had been sexually assaulted or were out of wedlock. It was also accepted that deformed and sickly offspring would be exposed and die. This was all to ensure the eugenic survival and thriving of the tribe and individual woman, not so women could have indiscriminate sex as degenerates and then murder their potential offspring. Freya and Frigg are both goddesses of sexuality, love, honor, commitment, marriage, childrearing, childbirth, growth, fertility, and motherhood. It is obscene to ascribe the modern liberal use of abortion and sexual degeneracy to goddesses such as these.
6. Of course not. Chivalry was an honor code that developed out of Northern European morals, laws, and religion. Dishonorable warriors were treated harshly, as were men who started blood feuds. There are many accounts of dishonorable men and warriors being harshly treated throughout the sagas, Germania, the Gesta Danorum, etc.

Those who didn’t read Belinsky’s letter I quoted above should know that the author wasn’t an atheist. Belinsky was a christian himself, but was honest enough to admit that the peasants (the majority of the population in 19th century) were not.
Читать полностью…Religiousness has not even taken root among the clergy in it, since a few isolated and exceptional personalities distinguished for such cold ascetic contemplation prove nothing. But the majority of our clergy has always been distinguished for their fat bellies, scholastic pedantry, and savage ignorance.

There's no single tale in Slavic folklore where a priest is a positive character. Let's look at the titles of the tales featuring them:
The stingy priest, How a priest stole a bull, How a priest tortured his workers, How a priest gave birth to a calf etc.
Priest rolling
According to the ethnographic data people asked priests to roll on the ground to "make sheafs heavy", "harvest plenty" etc., if priests refused to do this they were brought down and rolled forcefully.
As A.Afanasyev described this tradition: "Priests are forced to roll on the fields to make earth fertile."

⨁ Indo-European Idol of Divine Twins | Idol from Kazanka and Ak-Chokrak ⨁
In late Indo-European mythology, the myth of the Divine Twins is known, reconstructed on the basis of the Vedic Ashvins, the Greek Dioscuri and the "Sons of God" from Baltic songs. Traces of the Divine Twins were also preserved among the Germans in the form of a legend about Hengist and Horsa. The Divine Twins are the descendants of the Sky Father Dyeus, they are the youngest of the gods, they are heroes-winners of monsters and protectors of people.
Two stelae of the 3rd - early 2nd millennium BC have come down to us. These are steles from Kazanka and Ak-Chokrak, discovered in the Indo-European steppes of the Black Sea region.

Читать полностью…The term Wheel of the Year apparently originates with the Wiccan and Neo-pagan movements, rather than being a strictly Asatru metaphor. In any case, it is a vivid way of thinking of the turning (which is what wheels do, after all) of the seasons.
Graphically, this is represented by a circle with the winter solstice (Yule) at the top, the summer solstice (Midsummer) at the bottom, and the spring and fall equinoxes (Ostara and Harvest) on the right and left mid-points, respectively. The other holy days are sprinkled around the perimeter of the circle. Significant festivals fall approximately midway between the equinoxes and the solstices, so that the whole arrangement forms an eight-spoked wheel.

Only two days left before a new dose of cringe and propaganda posing as historical fiction
Читать полностью…After the introduction of Christianity the unruly troll was linked to the living dead ancestor, and its existence was tied to the pagan ancestor cult which took place near burial mounds. By the nineteenth century it had changed to a somewhat different and fictional being, but along the way it influenced the history of Norwegian witchcraft trials.
There is one offence in particular in which several Norwegian Law codes mention trolls: it was strictly forbidden to “sit out and wakeup a troll”, some manuscripts adding, “in order to gain knowledge”. The traditional interpretation of the medieval Norwegian phrase “to sit out” is to connect this phenomenon to sei∂, a magic ritual performed in order to gain access to esoteric knowledge of the past as well as the present.

A problem inherent in dealing with supernatural creatures such as trolls is that of classification. Just what is a troll? In legends and fairy-tales trolls are easy to recognize, but it is almost impossible to make a generic description of trolls from these sources. They simply differ too much in their portrayal of these creatures.

If your faith requires a “conversion”, it is programming and foreign. Similar to that of malware on your computer. Completely unnatural and injected.
Why is a conversion necessary? What has he converted from? And for what reason? Before his non-converted form, what was he?
No faith that is natural to a man should require a conversion to or from anything.
Even the word conversion insights some ploy apparently unseen.
Who is it you tremble

Little scandalous stories?
Of whom do you sing

And his innocent daughters.
Come, how do you treat them?
At whom do you shout
Ho,ho,ho, in derision

The basis of religiousness is pietism, reverence, fear of God. Whereas the Russian man utters the name of the Lord while scratching himself somewhere.
He says of the icon: If it works, pray to it; if it doesn’t, it’s good for covering pots.
V.Belinsky
I think this quote from Belinsky’s letter to Gogol written in 1847 is a good summary of the topic:
"Do you really mean to say you do not know that our clergy is held in universal contempt by Russian society and the Russian people? About whom do the Russian people tell dirty stories? Of the priest, the priest’s wife, the priest’s daughter, and the priest’s farmhand. Does not the priest in Russia represent the embodiment of gluttony, avarice, servility, and shamelessness for all Russians?"
It’s obvious that the common man despised christian priesthood. Just examine the folklore. What is a stereotypical portrayal of a monk? A drunkard and a leacher, trying to trick and rob an honest peasant. Europeans were very critical of the clergy because they knew that the church lived off their hard work and gave nothing but a bunch lies and empty promises in return. The heavy drinking and sexual perversion of the church was also self evident for those who actually dealt with priests and saw their wineries. And finally the corruption. Many (if not all) chose the path of a priest not because of great faith, but because of the privileged and easy life the clergy enjoyed.
Читать полностью…Before Christianity, European religions dealt with practical needs: a bountiful harvest, healthy babies, victory in battle, justice before the law, stability of the social order, increased wisdom. These concerns are as relevant to us today as they were a thousand years ago. But "salvation"? It’s just not something we need.
