Name: Father Christmas Yule CardDescription:
Yule is here! Father Chrismass is Near! Won't you sit upon his knee? No need to fear.
Happy Yule everyone.
Discussion:
This is the Yule card on which my mother and I collaborated.
She painted a physical representation and the Bulk character using a physical medium.
I then transferred her work onto a background of my own design. Using a combination of both of our styles to create this representation of Father Chrismass bearing gifts of bourbon and booze for all the revelers in need of Yuletide Cheere!
This Yule Card and also sticker will be available on Hyperborean Radio's Teespring appropriately and not so "appropriately" accompanied with Holiday Greetings or Messages.

The new movie “troll” was surprisingly good and not totally ruined by Jewish propaganda. Although my sympathies was with the troll (Dovregubben🧌) and not the christian state of Norway.
No spoilers, go and see the movie yourself.

Commissioned this a while ago. Looks great!
Baptism for the Dead?
We are truly dealing with the bottomless pit when it comes to doctrinal glitches in the Bible. Another one involves a very peculiar statement that Paul made to the Corinthians. While discussing with them the lack of faith that certain believers had in the doctrine of the future bodily resurrection of the dead at Christ’s second coming, Paul offered this argument in favor of said doctrine: «Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?» - 1 Corinthians 15:29. Because of Paul’s endorsement of this mode of baptism, quite a few other aberrant Christian groups have observed it down through the centuries...

The way in which the German nature found its true expression at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, from the period of the Enlightenment to that of the great dramatists, demonstrated for the first time to the nation and the whole world that an alien faith and German genius stand in fundamental opposition to one another. Frederick the Great, Goethe and Schiller, Fichte, Kleist, and Hebbel were outstanding figures until the revolt of German from Christianity reached its culmination in Nietzsche.

The horrors of the inquisition part 1
By Charles Giuliani
#TruthHertzRadio
Ironically the theory based on comparative mythology completely ignores the context of the latter.
Sadly, there is a tendency among all European Pagans to self-demonize i.e. to portray our Gods as dark and evil just to be edgy. It’s immature attention seeking and hopefully more Pagans will expose the ones inclined to this as fools they are.
This will be the final part of Chapter 1 since I think there’s no more misunderstandings of Weles to clear up.
Blunders of contemporary Slavic Paganism
Chapter 1. Weles
Part 2. Evil God
Last time I established that Weles is a God of wealth rather than animals be they wild or domesticated. This time I will deal with a theory that Weles is an evil God and an enemy of Perun.
In a reconstruction of the Slavic version of the pan-European Chaoskampf myth two scholars Ivanov and Toporov proposed that instead of a traditional snake of Chaos Perun fought Weles. The theory is criticized heavily, but still pops up here and there including the Wiki page dedicated to Weles full of misinformation.
He took his mighty, curved bow,
And he took wrought arrow,
Ilja came to the Kievan square
He began walking along Kiev city
He was visiting the churches
He broke all crosses off the churches
He shot all the golden cupolas down
From the tale of Ilha of Murom and the drunkards
At Rome Jupiter likewise enjoyed sovereign status, but his original connection with the sky has left traces, especially in the poetic language. Iuppiter is used with some freedom to mean the sky, especially in the phrase sub Ioue ‘in the open air’, for which the prose equivalent is sub diuo.

Name: The Grand Guardian (Helheim)Description:
Garm The Hound of Hel Guarding the Gates of Helheim, the place of healing where Hel tends to the Ghosts of the lost and forgotten.
"Hello Welcome to Hel... Hello Welcome to Hel.... Hello Welcome to He...llo little one how are you? Oh You want to boopa the snoot alright I swore never again but you are sooo cute! There ya go.
Hello welcome to Hel... How are you? Yes it was a long journey go inside put your feet up... Hello Welcome to Hel."-Garm Greeting the Souls of the Forgotten
Discussion:
My first piece from a series I am doing on the realms of Hyperborean Lore, The Hall of Hel. Where the souls of the forgotten and the lost go to find comfort and rest. Garm, companion of Hel with blood-soaked fur, is seen guarding the entrance to Helheim and its' latest arrivals.
I painted Hel's Hall to look gargantuan to give the impression of her scope and vast reach as the hall of a god reflects not only the people who venerate them -knowingly or not- but also their number.
Thank You for the Enthusiasm More Halls and Realms to Come.

It actually is a nice film. Worth a watch. And christians indeed won’t like it. Didn’t expect it to be this good actually.
No spoilers, but it reminded me a lot of Godzilla, especially Shin Godzilla, which was obviously a major influence since it’s quite literally a European Kaiju movie.
Wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s pro-Pagan or anything but has some criticism of a major christian figure and is pro-Nature.

I’d add that though only the minority of modern christians still follow this tradition baptism for the dead was clearly a norm for the majority of denominations back in the day since we have mention of freshly converted royalty baptising their dead relatives.
For example Harald Bluetooth son of Gorm excavated his father and mother’s burial mound, baptized the remains and moved them to the church. Vladimir of Rus did the same to his brothers (one of whom he killed).
Will share some nice quotes from Charles Giulianis’ book

Buddhism says that the ego is a transient illusion. Christianity demands that the ego be subordinated to God, or to Jesus. I recall a religious tract from my youth that urged us to "take ego off the throne of our heart", and put Jesus in its place—complete with drawings of just how this would look, in case we didn’t get the idea.
This is the very opposite of Asatru. Unlike Buddhists, we like existence in this world. And unlike the authors of the little Christian tract, we’ll stay firmly seated on that throne in our hearts. We want neither to "dissolve the illusion of ego", nor to surrender it to any outside force.

When it comes to specifying the values particular to paganism, people have generally listed features such as these: an eminently aristocratic conception of the human individual; an ethics founded on honor ("shame" rather than "sin"); a heroic attitude toward life's challenges; the exaltation and sacralization of the world, beauty, the body, strength, health; the rejection of any "worlds beyond"; the inseparability of morality and aesthetics; and so on.
A. de Benoist
The theory is based on comparative mythology, but the latter is misanalysed. Vedic Vala and Latvian Velnias it equates with Weles are not Gods, but demons of chaos. There’s no hint of them ever being venerated, while the opposite is true of Weles. There are mentions of warriors giving an oath and swearing both on Perun and Weles. The two were not seen as enemies while the Thunderer and the Serpent definitely are.
There’s no European tradition where the serpent of the Chaos is prayed to.
Can you imagine Germanic tribes praying to both Thor and Jormurgandr? Can you imagine Wotan turning into a snake to battle Thor? It’s absurd.
Next big series of posts will be a continuation of my Blunders of… series.
Read part 1 to be in the know.
In azure vaults of heaven soaring bright,
In lofty castles filled with endless joy,
The God of Thunder, Perkons, dwells in light
And pleasure knows whose sweetness cannot cloy.
A. Pumpurs
In Greece this storm-god’s functions have been taken over by Zeus. The poetic attributes of Zeus as the storm-god, as well as some other features of his image as exalted ruler, show the influence of Near Eastern poetry and theology.
But the starting-point was his celestial nature. Most of the formulaic epithets applied to him in epic verse refer to this: cloud-gatherer, thundering on high, god of lightning, delighting in the thunderbolt, he of the dark clouds. In other texts he appears as the source of rain (Ζε μβριο, Ζε ει), and he is equally the god of the unclouded sky (Ζε αθριο) or of the fair wind (Ζε οριο).

F.W. Engelhard's frieze depicting Freyr, Odin and Thor during Ragnarok.
Some would argue that Norse mythology should not be represented in the Greco-Roman style, but for me it’s not an issue.
By presenting good and evil as absolutes, that is, by replacing the real world with a "theoretical" world, Christianity, like Plato and Socrates, presented itself as an antagonist of the Dionysian vitality that compels the human soul to assert itself as a ''yea sayer" to life.
