The Ugaritic mythological texts largely feature the deities El, the aged and kindly patriarch of the pantheon; his consort and the queen mother of the divine family, Asherah; the young storm-god and divine warrior, Baal; his sister, Anat, likewise a martial deity; and finally the solar deity. Scholars of religion have frequently assumed that because these deities were Canaanite, they were not Israelite. This view of Israelite religion has been expressed in part or in full by European, American and Israeli scholars.

The problem is not with men and women of other races and cultures; there is good and bad in all of us, both individually and collectively. The problem is those few who want us to all be the same, to surrender our identity and our self-determination. Their motivation may be ideological, a conviction that humankind MUST, for some reason, become homogeneous. The goal is, perhaps, one of absolute equality, a sort of metaphysical Marxism. My response to that is simple. "Equal people are not free, and free people are not equal."

Here we encounter for the first time in Hegel the concept that was later to play such an important role as ‘self-alienation’ or ‘self-renunciation’ in the philosophy of Hegel, Feuerbach, Marx, Hess: The hereafter is a robbery of this world. In this treatise of 1796, Hegel treats Judaism and Christianity on the same level. Both are religions which make man the slave of a being which is external to man, of which he is not a part, with which he has nothing in common and which dominates him. The Jewish and Christian religions are 'positive' religions, epitomes of propositions in which the believer is obliged to believe, religions in which the element of objective authority prevails over the pure life of faith of the heart. This notion of 'positive religion' is now at the center of Hegel's thought.

Why is the jew god the jealous one?

As yhwh himself admits he is very envoious of other Gods "For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God". It’s because he’s not a God himself. Unlike Greek, Germanic, Slavic and other Gods yhwh had no real power and no creations of his own. That’s why he had to turn to a tribe of wandering merchants with no lands of their own. He had to make a deal (covenant) with jews, because he couldn’t create his own lands and people. yhwh is just a desert demon. Most of the world praying to him is a testament to jewish tricks, not his power.

Overall it seems like snake spirit was just one of versions of a guarding ancestor. In some Aryan traditions there existed only the snake spirit, in other both (like in case of Slavs). Among other animal forms of a household guardian were a frog and a cat.

Stopan is a Southern Slavic household snake spirit. In it’s veneration there is a lot of similarity to domovoi as both are were guardians and ancestors (like Roman lares).

Militarily they were superlative horse-archers and at the heart of that supremacy was the design, not only of the Scythian bow, but also of other key items of inter-connected equipment.

The Scythians had a coherent system of well-designed and distinctively unique archery tackle, from the bows themselves to the arrows and poison, the ingenuity of the gorytos and the bolstered saddle. It is little wonder that they won such fame on the battlefield.

Under Christianity we are Jew-worshippers; or else, in despair or confusion, we worship nothing at all beyond the immediate money values, or similar depravity. In either case we lose touch with our source of life and strength.

Religion should not be like a hat or a coat that you find in a store, take a liking to, and decide to purchase. Rather, it should be like your arm, or your head—a part of who you are from birth.
The Gods and their people are one.

From Mr. Tom on Twitter…
"We are losing a connection with our ancestral ways. We have, like the Native Americans and Aborigines, a fantastic native tradition; folk stories, myths, and a spiritual connection with nature, with the soil and the stone. It's time we reclaim that." -Ray Mears

Antinous as Agathos Daimon

Antinous, as a deified mortal, got his own cult which mixed Agathos and him into one. But I don’t consider this an example of true Aryan spirituality since the deification in question was ordered by Hadrian. Though it did continue after the latter’s death and seemingly caused no trouble unlike some other examples of state imposed cults.

The head of the CofE's proposal to canonise a violent foreign criminal, while apparently divergent from normal Christian practices, is in a sense consistent with the view of early saints, many of which were hostile non Europeans celebrated for their efforts to destroy European culture (paganism). They've simply changed the target from European religion to European identity and culture in general.

Not a dig at the good a Christians who oppose this sort of thing. Just an observation.

This may be Pagan craftsman Zayat's last photo for a while. He is in court today, trying to defend himself. Though the chances are low, since in russia only 0,33% of trials end with an acquittal. All because he drew and carved traditional symbols like swastika and criticized communism.
