bog bodies of violently killed people

ya those were homosexuals

homosexuals were punished in Rus and Germanic societies the same way

they were stripped naked then usually drowned in mud

there's also human sacrifice in the eddaa

@Fox ⚾ 🇦🇺 it’s on voice activity

by the evil people in the edda

the wicked snake cults

but it works, odin makes the deal

the heroes hated the snake cults for human sacrifice specifically

and encourages it

no it was the goddess of death they prayed to

the snake cults

Now it’s on PTT

the myth is that Odin had relations with death because he ordains the time everyone goes, and would ask his wife to kill them or something

it's just poetric description of natural functions imo

I think the educated men didn't believe in any of it

no it was sacrifice to odin for sure

in asatru no

maybe other cults

tacitus also says the same thing

the romans often lied about their enemies

after they conquered them

asatru is a modern term

no Vinings ever used it

they claimed that the carthaginians ate babies

@Fox ⚾ 🇦🇺 I’ll try again with a mic later thank you tho

which was bullshit

Daily reminder Islamic golden age is a myth

It was literally atheist/new ottoman territories doing shit age

maybe eating babies was normal back then

I think the modern idea of paganism is also skewed by the fact that Christian and islamic scholars are the only semi reputable source on these belief systems.

So there was prob some embellishing.

They are the only sources

As well as imperial authorities and politics

which interfered

ya they are, that's my point

Catholic and orthodox monks were the only people who bothered to keep record about it

punics practiced human sacrifice
