Found a version of an Eastern Slavic creation myth. It’s heavily christianized but still Pagan at it’s core. Already translated too, so no need to bother on my part. Will publish shortly. Can’t find good images to go with the story, probably won’t. Can try to de-christianize it later.

The Sirens, daughter of the River Achelous and the Muse Melpomene, wandering away after the rape of Proserpina [Persephone], came to the land of Apollo, and there were made flying creatures by the will of Ceres [Demeter] because they had not brought help to her daughter. It was predicted that they would live only until someone who heard their singing would pass by.

Outside of the first modern Hellenic temple, constructed outside Arcadia, the judeo-christians destroyed a wooden statue dedicated to Pan, leaving their calling cards to claim responsibility.
Let this be a reminder to us who follow ancestral faiths, the judeo-christians are not your friends. They never were, never are and never will be.
We should be aware of such things and condemn it thusly. But there is also hope in knowing that they may damage a statue, but they cannot hurt our Gods and Goddesses. The Revival of Paganism is happening over ten times the rate as the early church spread. As the years go by we gain more legal recognition. It is only a matter of time before we overtake them. When that nears, they will beg to be accepted by us. When that does happen we should remember things like this, because it is actions such as this that is their true nature.
Pagan Revivalism is inevitable, and there is nothing, not a single thing, they can say or do to stop it.
For true christians there’s no such thing as an interracial marriage

Unlike Achilles at Troy, Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece, or Theseus on Crete, Herakles was not associated exclusively or primarily with a single great undertaking, a single myth, or even cycle of myth. From infancy to sudden death while still in his prime, his life itself was like a grand myth cycle, encompassing countless incidents and adventures, ups and downs, triumphs and suffering.

A well-known anecdote from Strabo describes how the sculptor Pheidias designed his masterpiece, the great statue of Zeus in the sanctuary of Olympia, as a reflection of three verses from Homer’s Iliad. The most prestigious and authoritative cult image of the high god is there presented as the solid shape of epic verse, one medium appropriating the other, a massive monument of stone carved out of a great monument of poetry. The story is part of a recurrent trope of Greek literature concerning the prevalence of early epic poetry on the religious imagination of the other arts.

Join us on 9/25/25, for a crash course on Advanced Heathenry.
A lot of my shows are novice-friendly for good reason. At Pagan Revivalism, we want ancestral faith to be as accessible as possible. From those who have been a part of revival from decades to months, a lot of folk will walk away with good insights, especially from our great guest scholars. Introductory material always has its place, but those of us who have been around for many years recognize the sheer depth of knowledge contained within Heathenry. Many folk don't know this & seek depth from other traditions, creating amalgamations that never existed in history.
On this show, we will showcase some of the advanced level questions & theories in Heathenry. Even though we will go over more complex ideas in ancient Germanic religion, and it's revival, it is very important to reveal to beginners that Heathenry is not superficial or lacks depth.
It will be a show full of intrigue & mystery, of great ideas & history, join us for Advanced Heathenry!

Viking, late X-early XI c.
Oleksandr Tereshchenko
Lovely Terpsichore, one of the Muses, had borne them [Sirens] to Achelous, and at one time they had been handmaids to Demeter's gallant Daughter [Persephone], before she was married, and sung to her in chorus. But now, half human and half bird in form, they spent their time watching for ships from a height that overlooked their excellent harbour; and many a traveller, reduced by them to skin and bones, had forfeited the happiness of reaching home.

New-Age is a hubristic fraud.
She is no Druid: their lineage ended. Her "priestessship" is bogus. LGBTQ ideology is antithetical to traditional religions. Sumer, Egypt, Persia, Rome, and elsewhere would have exiled or killed her.
Stuff like this is why we get mocked.
Cetus
Cetus is not a singular creature, but a type of sea monsters in Greek myth. Ceti (plural form of Cetus) were slain by such heroes as Hercules and Perseus. The name of the constellation Cetus comes from these monsters as well as Cetology a science that studies whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
The christian society has built cages, prisons, in the sad attempt to make criminals repent for their "sins" through isolation and ostracization. Not even forced work to pay for their stay in prison solves the problem.
Criminals will rarely regret their life choices and recidivism becomes a constant factor in the justice system.
What did we, as pagans, had back then?
You either pay a massive fine, exiled for life, or executed by many ways (drowned, the blood eagle, decapitated).
This is how we punish crimes, this is how we make society safer: we punish, we break the bandit's will and show that crime does not pay you with anything good down the line.
Lif and Lifthrasir;
they will be hidden
in Hoddmimir’s holt.
The morning dews
they will have for food.
From them men shall be born.

Apotheōsis—the Greek word for which means ‘being transformed [from human] to god’—is preceded by a most painful death, where the hero is burned alive over the flames of his own funeral pyre. Thus the transformation of Hēraklēs into a theos or ‘god’ is a process of immortalization, and, by using this word, I mean simply that the mortal as mortal is required to die first—and die most painfully—before he can become immortal like a god.
Hēraklēs experiences the most painful death imaginable, climaxed by burning to death. This form of death is an ultimate test of the nervous system, by ancient Greek heroic standards.

Ukranenland is an open air village-museum in Torgelow, Mecklenburg (North-East Germany). The name comes from an old Slavic Polabian tribe, the Ukri/Ukrani.
