I've never been able to wrap my head around paganism. To much of it is unknown I feel like. I enjoy learning about the old stories, but I just think too much has been destroyed for it to ever truly recover. Maybe some form of a reconstructed religion will exist in the future; I think some people are onto something but they're not there yet.
I don’t follow the old gods myself, but I understand the ethnic appeal. I agree that too much is missing to fully understand how our ancestors worshipped. All the records must have been wiped out bc muh heretics
I think that certain concepts exist in the minds of Europeans that influence our culture. Culture is downstream of DNA, but I think there's a little more that goes on in our minds. If you've ever read Carl Jung's Essay "Wotan" the essay covers some interesting ideas about the "Gods" or whatever being a part of us.
@Jordanus Piscator nice pfp
Demon Hunter is based and redpilled
I’ve not read his essay, but I’ll add it to the list of stuff to read. My list is growing faster than I can keep up.
Almost everything we know about paganism is from christians
It's kinda weird, but it's interesting. Jung basically says that Hitler was the living Avatar of Wotan and that he was possessed by something inside all of us.
Yes, I’ve read about the esoteric hitlerism theory. It actually goes all the way back to Vishnu and full on Aryan indo-European esotericism
@☦ Slouch ☦ most pagans get lots of stuff from Hinduism, since it comes from the Aryans who invaded India.
Hindu and pagan mythology are very different
@Sam Southern - TN It's weird stuff, but having it come from a guy like Carl Jung made me look into it.
European pagan mythology holds many of the same archetypes across the board
I.e. slavic, norse, and British paganism
Hinduism has gone down a different path for sure, but some of the old Vedas can give a little insight
They all have the same archetypes just different names
A lot of pantheons hold a similar cast of characters at the core
Dating back to the sumerians tbh
Very old image from my early AR days
Well for something like a fertility goddess that is a go to attribute to deify
Varg pointed out some interesting stuff with the "Bear Cult" that Neanderthals worshipped, where the tradition of removing the skull and thighbone from the grave of an ancestor was practiced by the Germans and Celts until Christianity came. There are Neanderthal Graves missing the skulls and thighbones.
Varg is also an atheist
In a sense yes
No like hes said he doesnt believe in God before
From a Christian perspective I guess
He even uses the sky daddy meme
You dont get more atheistic than saying "I dont believe in god"
No matter the perspective
And atheism is fucking retarded
Deism and theism are the only logical conclusions
That's a Christian way of seeing things I guess. I'll try to find a chart that explains some of this stuff
Its not a christian way
If you dont believe in a god, gods, or higher power you're an atheist
Evola is an atheist then. Cause he saw Gods and God as human creations
He was spiritual
There's a distinct difference there
yes, but he didn't believe in a higher power. Varg is also spiritual, but barely
Here’s that Chart
Some guy I know made this
he's autistic so
