that depends as they defer to odin as more powerful almost always

2017-02-12 17:58:18 UTC  

odin was not to be trifled with

2017-02-12 17:58:27 UTC  

with daily worship in much of scandinavia

2017-02-12 17:58:30 UTC  

the last king of the saxons did a ritual for tiw as the head god

2017-02-12 17:59:03 UTC  

as odin had creation powers and was almost omnipotent

2017-02-12 17:59:08 UTC  

and all knowing

2017-02-12 17:59:12 UTC  

yeah

2017-02-12 17:59:29 UTC  

tiw I read was the god of war, justice (law), the forest, and the people, hence the national leader god

2017-02-12 17:59:46 UTC  

odin makes more sense for migrators and vikings

2017-02-12 17:59:51 UTC  

odin's two brothers aren't real gods

2017-02-12 17:59:56 UTC  

they're a play on words

2017-02-12 18:00:09 UTC  

alliteration to have three gods create teh world who are aspects of odin

2017-02-12 18:00:12 UTC  

I know, will and something else

2017-02-12 18:00:23 UTC  

Brahma is exactly the same with 3 heads

2017-02-12 18:00:47 UTC  

votan, vili, and ve

2017-02-12 18:00:56 UTC  

I forgot what ve translate to in english

2017-02-12 18:01:05 UTC  

I remember it being what they call a shrine

2017-02-12 18:01:31 UTC  

it all relates to creation

2017-02-12 18:01:32 UTC  

if I recall right it is senses and physical features?

2017-02-12 18:01:41 UTC  

it's something like I inspire, I will, and I divine

2017-02-12 18:01:45 UTC  

yeah

2017-02-12 18:01:46 UTC  

will being the creation part

2017-02-12 18:01:52 UTC  

as he wills everything into being by thinking of it

2017-02-12 18:02:01 UTC  

so how is this not like hinduism?

2017-02-12 18:02:05 UTC  

and the beings he can't destroy are chaos

2017-02-12 18:02:06 UTC  

if it line ups with brahma

2017-02-12 18:02:14 UTC  

and tiw lines up with dyaus

2017-02-12 18:02:28 UTC  

hinduism lacks the concepts of kingship

2017-02-12 18:02:36 UTC  

I would compare hinduism to heathenism like I would compare judaism to christianity

2017-02-12 18:02:40 UTC  

also inherent to odin

2017-02-12 18:02:54 UTC  

they have kings and rajs

2017-02-12 18:03:13 UTC  

they separate out the power of kings

2017-02-12 18:03:22 UTC  

also not all germanics had kingdoms, saxons had a republic where they only elected a king during war

2017-02-12 18:03:31 UTC  

the ancient greeks had kings

2017-02-12 18:03:42 UTC  

they had kings iwth no powers just to perform the rites of kings

2017-02-12 18:03:54 UTC  

yeah sounds like now

2017-02-12 18:04:18 UTC  

I just found your comparison odd

2017-02-12 18:04:29 UTC  

hinduism is by its nature an indo-european religion

2017-02-12 18:04:52 UTC  

in practice, it is less so than christianity

2017-02-12 18:05:02 UTC  

christianity is semitic with an aryan undertone

2017-02-12 18:05:11 UTC  

christianity is not really semitic
