most of the more popular hindu gods are not of aryan origin
but of the indus valley civilization
ganesha, vishnu, shiva, and the earth mother are the most popular hindu gods as far as I know
vishnu and shiva are of aryan origin
shiva is not
ganesha is based in part on aryan
shiva is on seals pre aryan invasion
the earth mother is indeed their local earth mother goddess
vishnu is an almagrammation
then why did vedic people worship shiva?
they even have nordic artwork of him
they found him
they liked him
odin is also not a european god
why does he have 'white person hair' ?
he looks r1b to me
how is odin not european?
r1a would be from eastern europe and the eurasian steppe, and would be the source of odin
tyr is the one that should be the sky father
linguistically
odin is the all-father, not sky father
odin is more similar to brahma in hinduism
odin has no linguistic parallels outside of scandinavia
the scholarship linking him to hinduism is junk
he's probably a native god
I said similar
I do not believe odin was ever in india
and he is the sky father
he assumes the indo european role of sky father
yeah, due to the migration age and viking life style of migration, he is the god of migrating
germans continued to worship tiw as the head god on the continent in germany
hence being teutonic
that depends as they defer to odin as more powerful almost always
odin was not to be trifled with
with daily worship in much of scandinavia
the last king of the saxons did a ritual for tiw as the head god
as odin had creation powers and was almost omnipotent
and all knowing
yeah
tiw I read was the god of war, justice (law), the forest, and the people, hence the national leader god
