Oh of course it is. I'd love to have it on my wall but it's not emotional to me or the message isn't beautiful in anyway.

I'd much rather have a painting of an old anglo saxon king being carried from town to town by the people that loved him so much. Or a painting of a ceremony when they chose their next king, not some silly thing where the elites would give made up honors to their cousins and sons.

Well a simple google search turned up a result for an icelandic name and I guess fylkir came from something close to "chieftan."

I'm not familiar with that, but for a beginner I'd recommend "the norse myths by [something] Holland"

It's chronological and very easy to read.

Some of the poetic eddas are just random alignments, have no chronological order and no structure plus hard translations so they could be missing some parts. Other easier authors/translators fill in the missing parts to the best of their ability while "advanced" versions let you fill it in thinking you have knowledge of icelandic/kennings and all of that, or think you are a student using it for scholarly reasons.

How is any of that exclusively Heathen? Nothing in that is religious in any way. Many Christians believe in that line of thinking as well.

I know you didn't imply that it was exclusively Heathen or that Christians don't believe these ideas as well; but many people seem to think that way. They mistake ancient European beliefs of manly honor and valor that were and are carried by heathens and then Christians with something that only pagans believe.

No they don't worship their ancestors, but the image you posted has nothing to do with worshiping ancestors and in my understanding and through my reading of the Sagas and Eddas, neither did heathens.

If you are imply that we don't honor and venerate our ancestors as Christians and don't have specific holy days were we do so, well that isn't even a little bit true.

For personal ancestors:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls%27_Day

For communal ancestors and heroes of the passed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day

And of course Christians (besides protestants) pray for their ancestors and ask their ancestors to pray for them (through prayer) regularly, sometimes daily.

Perhaps I am just overly sensitive to the term 'worship' as a Christian, wanting to separate for example the treatment of Saints with the worship of God.

As a pagan these differences are probably not as important and 'ancestor worship' is a fine term to use, and simplifies discussion as well too.
>>
>>34984001
Yeah. Well pagans don't even worship the gods in the same way as christians worship their god.

Odin may decide to let you win that battle but if you don't follow him he won't send you to hell. It's how you act towards your kinsmen that decide that and the wyrd the norns have given you that do. So maybe pagans don't even worship anything. They just venerate the ancestors and venerate the gods.

Interesting stuff right there.

It's ahistorical to the max, just saying, It's supposedly from an Old Norse word that means "chief" or something like that, and being Old Norse sounded like a neat word to turn into a Caliphate analogue, apparently.

Fylkir in that capacity certainly never existed.

I like finns a lot. I knew a finnish girl and loved her more than anything. But I don't know about their mythology. And they are a really weird people. They probably didn't subjugate Finland because there was nothing there for them.

How can any pagan be proud of their religion when monotheism has run rampant and trampled their native religions into the dirt?

No matter how 'white' Odinism is, the rest of the world is still following a kike on a stick.

Not trying to instigate a flame war, just genuinely curious.
>>
>>34985439

Okay, but we aren't talking about the Bible or the story of Genesis for that matter are we? We are talking about mythological battles. I can use my imagination myself; though I agree the oral tradition of Nordic mythology does a good job of imagining things for people and telling it to them.
>>
>>34985416
I always thought how Odin was "hung" from the world tree and pierced with a spear was entirely European.

The tree was a religious symbol of Europeans, the spear as far as I can remember has no significance in the hebrew books, (any of the 3 hebrew religions) and the hanging part I always considered as a gallows, since Odin himself is lord of the gallows and could speak to a man who was hanged by the neck and already dead. He could reanimate them and talk to them. So I figured he hung himself by the neck from yggdrasil and stabbed himself with a spear, not dangled by his ankles or anything like that.

If we still know who Odin was, it isn't really dead to me.

I think it's amazing how much we know about who our ancestors where and who they worshipped.

I mean when you think about it like this...
>say you are swedish
>uppsala closed in 1200
>814 years of christianity
>say all your grandpas in your paternal line lived to be 100
>that's 8 grandparents to go back to pagan times

I mean that's 8 people in a room you could talk to to take you back 800 years to pagan times, and if they told stories to their children that could maybe be 5 or 6 people with direct memories to pagan times back then. I just think it's crazy how long it's been, yet how short it has been that christianity has had a rule over Europeans.

I don't even know if that makes sense to anyone.
>>
>>34985630

Or Pagans were proto-Christians and realized the facets of God and applied them to various anthropomorphized persona and examples of his creation in nature as a prelude to the coming of Christ and His fulfillment of what they already knew in their soul.

>>34985628
The holy spear was a roman weapon though that killed the jew jesus.

That was a European thing and not a naturally jewish thing. Which supports my idea in teh post you replied to.

And all of those links to the spear of destiny and what not was decided by romans who where incharge of seeing where the church would go.

Instead of trying to fix the whole world at once it's best to just get your own affairs in order, your own family and life. Like Vargs is doing. There still is space and time to go back to pagan ways...

I'm not sure if you are the person I was replying to, if so then I accept, if not then my understanding of the post was that 'entirely European' was a not-so-subtle dig on Christianity being 'semetic' or 'hebrew'.

So

Really was:

I am that person you are replying to.

You see some people think that Germanic paganism took from christianity to make the story of odin hanging on yggdrasil, while others think Christianity took from the paganism to fit to the local people and make them easier to convert.

As you can see by what I said here
>>34985532

That the whole "hanging" from yggdrasil was a literal hanging as we know it today and not the type of nailed to the tree like jesus was.

You know what I'm sayin'?
>>
>>34985699

they converted out of pragmatism and power. Rollo the Walker for example was basically bribed into converting. The king gave him a city state in exchange for conversion.

He never really became a real christian, always a pagan at heart, but his conversion would have an effect on other vikings...

Vikings were pretty open to other gods and personifications of their values being polytheists.
>>
>>34985798
No no no, if someone asks you, "what are you?" what do you say?

I mean if there's a European who is 90% German and 10% Irish he will probably answer "German." So what do you identify as? What books and culture are you most drawn to out of your heritage?

To start you have to know the basics.
Then start praying. In the interwebs you can find some "how to"s. Or you find fellow pagans near you.

Remember that it is not a lawreligion. The 9 virtues are more like guidelines.

I think that the western culture, the caroligian culture, is ultimativly doomed. Simply because it is their time to perish. So We as pagans have the chance to be the seeds of the next european culture.

multiple gods influencing various aspects of reality, being at odds with each other, causing havoc here and there.

Ancient hinduism is pretty close to old paganism of europe, the rig veda contains hymns to a sky deity who hurls thunder, much like zeus and thor and has many cognate gods to european paganism. The poetry of the mahabharata is almost identical in linguistic form to the illiad (https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-relation-between-the-Greek-Epics-and-the-Mahabharata)

Hinduism however became corrupted by the dravidians who integrated their culture into the vedic aryan conquerors several millennia ago and what you see now is the degradation of pagan ways by the dark population of india.
