One of my miniature axes. This one has a kolovrat symbol on it which is not accurate, but makes sense since both kolovrat and those axes are seen as religious symbols by the majority of modern Slavic Pagans despite it not being historically accurate since the former is just a rare swastika variation and the former has no religious meaning whatsoever (in fact most of the finds date to post-conversion times).

A horned Odin figure from the Uppakra Temple.
Compared to Celtic and Slavic art styles, Germanic art was often more minimalistic and surrealistic. This meant that with depictions of Gods, features such as a damaged eye for Odin, or Thor gripping his beard, were more immediately recognizable.

The Odinist says there is a spirit expressed in all creatures and things.
Put your hand on your horse as you are homeward bound on a moonlight night through the bush, and remember that Christianity says your horse is an automaton or a machine; remember it when you are calling in the cows; remember Christianity's idea when your dog races over the paddock to meet you.

Swarog
Slavic God of smithing and fire
by Brother Bjorn

Swarog was sometimes misinterpreted as a Deus Pater by early neo-Pagans, but with time absurd theories began dying out and most modern Slavic Pagans agree on his role of a Smith God similar to Vulcan.

Ancestry places us where we stand. A person is born of a race, a tribe, a lineage. What your Ancestors have achieved is expressed in your blood. Paganism is the only faith which acknowledges and venerates this sacred connection.

Sandstone statue of a Gallic ruler, discovered outside a burial mound near the hill-fort of Glauberg, in Hesse, Germany; 5th century B.C. 🇩🇪 The statue displays features that seem to indicate a dual role: Warrior and priest. He bears warlike paraphernalia such as sword, a shield, and a Greek-style linothorax set of armor. Additionally, his powerful legs are emphasized, a common feature of warrior statues of the Mediterranean regions. The torc around his neck makes it clear that the individual portrayed is a member of nobility. His priestly function is highlighted by the “leaf crown”, a diadem with exaggerated mistletoe-leaf shaped protrusions. This combined warrior-priest role was what defined the office of king in the Celtic world.

Southern Hesse is replete with Celtic archaeological finds; the region seems to have been the boundary between Celtic and Germanic peoples for millennia during the prehistoric and early historic eras.

There's no fear in death. No fear if you die for Ideals, for the Cause, for allies. Death is but a continuation of our struggle and life. So why fear it? Let those who hate us fear it.

All capitalistic parasites want Christianity taught. They want such things to be taught, as: "Resist not evil," "All men are equal," and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and other double-tongued platitudes.

An ordinary country volkhv had to know and remember all rites, charms, ritual songs, how to calculate dates for all magical ceremonies, and the properties of healing herbs. Overall knowledge-wise he had to be close to a modern ethnographer with the only difference being the fact that an ethnographer has to spend a lot of time seeking out half-forgotten relics while an ancient magus likely received a lot from his teachers-predecessors. One can not imagine thousand years of tradition of all forms of East-Slavic folklore without an uninterrupted continuity of generations.

There is an important distinction here, though, because in performing that function in Homer's Hades the king did no more than continue his characteristic activity in this life.
More advanced moral notions came later. The idea of judgment of dead souls on their conduct in this life was probably not formulated in Greece before the 6th century B.C. under influence of Pythagorean and Orphic thought.

Recently I came up with a new(ish) reconstruction of the Slavic version of pan-European Chaoskampf myth.It is well-know that Perun, club-wielding Thunderer fought Chaos Serpent (not Veles)

We also know that Indra before his fight with Vritra had Tvashtr the Smith forge him lightning bolts "Tvasta sharpened his far-whirling bolt" (Rigveda 1.32.2)

We also know that Vulcan and his cyclops forged lightning for Zeus. gave Zeus the thunder and made the thunderbolt (Theogony lines 139-145)

This is enough to assume that in Slavic Chaoskampf myth Swarog played a similar role and helped Perun with his smithing skills

The Lore teaches us how Odin hung nine days on the World Tree, starving, weakened by thirst, and wounded with a spear, to win this sacred knowledge. Those humans who can muster comparable will and determination to Overcome can rise to the level of the Gods themselves.

If you ask a Christian the meaning of "sell and give to the poor", "turn the other cheek," "blessed are the meek" and similar, and show him the logical conclusions of these sayings, and he says "Ah, you do not understand," or "It means something else," or "You ought to see the original Greek" or uses some other favored evasion of the issue, then you will know you are talking to a dangerous confuser, conscious or unconscious.

Today, on 18th of May, a Pagan hero D.Borovikov was killed by the regime. Dmitri lived a short, but honest and fearless life. As a true pagan he did not stand aside as his people were slaughtered. Some of his words in my translation:
"It is unlikely for the weak to hate. Hatred is a quite dangerous weapon. Only the one who is truly strong can use it. In this world you always get what you give. That's why weaklings share love, they hope that the world will love them back. But we pagans don't take orders from the crucified god of weaklings. Christian love turns men into cattle, hatred will be our weapon."

Recently had a private discussion with one of the leading experts on Slavic Paganism and in the middle of it I formed a reconstruction of the Slavic Chaoskampf myth. It’s traditional and, in my opinion, can stand up to scrutiny. Will make a post about it when Bjorn finished a new piece I commissioned. Will probably take a while though.

From the reign of Nero to that of Antoninus Pius, the Jews discovered a fierce impatience of the dominion of Rome, which repeatedly broke out in the most furious massacres and insurrections. Humanity is shocked at the recital of the horrid cruelties which they committed in the cities of Egypt, of Cyprus, and of Cyrene, where they dwelt in treacherous friendship with the unsuspecting natives…
