BTW before you reply with the Jewish revolt, remember that the romans only attacked the rebels in Judea (Just ask why the Judea royal family wasn't harmed or why Josephus was kept) and the romans in fact embraced jews outside Judea as one of the many migrants. In fact there were jews in Rome before Jesus was even born. So "pagan" antisemitism is just another post christian derivation, and inherently tied to christ.

>>17275679
I mean, yeah, anyone who takes old paganism seriously as a religion is retarded. Its an academic pursuit.

>people would rather worship shadows over a jewish man and a jewish god

I'm not sure what you mean, Asatru (the religion that Tom Rowsell practices) is a living tradition with multiple temples, churchbodies, and entire priesthoods. He himself is one of them. It's not like Eastern Orthodoxy or Catholicism where it's a dead religion that no one believes in anymore.

A European ethnic religion is the second largest religion, behind only Atheism, in four countries in Europe.

If we're not being either completely dishonest or autistic etymologyfags, Odin is transparently the Indo-European Sky-Father figure, so it's fair to say that, for as long as that archetype has existed (a very long time), the practice of "Asatru" has also existed.

It is, yes.

Snorri's father was a Gothi, he himself talked to Asatru skalds, he was murdered for being Asatru after having spent his entire life dodging assassination attempts from his enemies trying to kill him on those grounds, "conversion" of a state is meaningless, and there are no extant Christian Churches that hold his professed theology to be anything other than sinful blasphemy.

>You are basically getting an interpretation of an interpretation.

Holy texts, the words of gothar.

Yep.

Passages from the Iliad and the Edda were both recited out loud during rituals in their respective religions, so yes, you're correct, they are religious texts.

It doesn't matter! It's LARP!

>>17275772
>Basically compilation of stories. It's like considering the Iliad a religious text.
all this tells me is that you've never read the codex regius. All of the god poetry (besides off the top of my head Thrymskvitha, Hymiskvitha, and I guess arguably Skirnismal) isn't really a series of "stories." Most of the poems are actually conversations regarding all the different aspects of the practice of paganism. These conversations are usually framed in a story (e.g. grimnismal is about Odin being tortured and eventually slaying a tyrant king), but the actual body of the poem itself is mostly a discussion of heathen virtues and metaphysics. Sometimes you don't even get a story to frame the discussion, as in the various poems that were combined to create Havamal.
>There is no indication these were in any way holy texts.
The poetic edda isn't a holy text by any means. It's more similar to a law review article or a treatise in the sense that it more or provides a "lay of the land" for the faith from the perspective and understanding of the skald who composed the poem.

>>17275782

>>17275777
>So like the New Testament, the Quran, and the Torah.
Difference is that the latter are respectively a history of the acts of Jesus (with direct prescriptions on belief for the faithful), a directly written word of god and a history book with prescriptions by various holy figures. The Norse books are like using Saints lives as christian canon.
>It is, yes.
Lol, Lmao

Snorri was a catholic by virtually all accounts. To claim he is a heretic is entirely made up.
>What, like how Christianity works? No, we have the oral tradition written down.
you have some songs written down by a small fraction of the Scandinavian world almost 200 years after the official conversion. You basically have the vague memories told in private without any public way to remember them in holy sites.

Neo-Pagans badly need someone to claim to have had visions of the gods speeking to him and write down all his schizo ramblings to a book. They cannot make an academic claim that they are practicing the religion of their ancestors. But they could at least become a new religious movement based on the teachings of a prophet who was supposedly revealed the lost lore of the pagans by the gods themselves.

Maybe give Varg some datura and see where it goes.

>>17275781
How do you know this? Especially the Edda is odd since it was composed after official conversion. If you are talking about the songs, please tell me what and where.

Also if by "rituals" for the Iliad you mean the theatre competition in Athens, then you are truly very intelligent

>>17275786
Not really

Do tradlarps not see how pessimistic appealing to antiquity to validate themselves is? Is your god dead? Does he not exist in contemporary form? There can be no new forms of religious expression? That sounds like worshipping shadows. You're a cargo cult.

>>17275812
christian subservience to man-made laws and interpretations is not "worshipping shadows." It's just secular humanism dressed up to look like a religion.

>>17275783

"Umm acthually, it isn't about how Thor was dressed as a woman to get back his hammer, it was a secret pagan instruction manual despite having no direct references other than my interpretation"
You see what I mean here?
>actual body of the poem itself is mostly a discussion of heathen virtues and metaphysics
Not really? It's a post hoc rationalisation. I need to structure my reconstructed faith -> I use the stories to indicate how my faith would have operated ->My stories were actual description of how the faith operates without any actual indication that they are.

>>17275824
>"Umm acthually, it isn't about how Thor was dressed as a woman to get back his hammer, it was a secret pagan instruction manual despite having no direct references other than my interpretation"
You're discussing Thrymskvitha, which I already identified as being one of the few god poems in the poetic edda that IS actually, as you originally said, nothing more than just a silly story with no deeper meaning to it.
>Not really? It's a post hoc rationalisation.
please just read Havamal so you actually understand what I'm talking about. It'll take you like ten minutes.
One of the most recurrent elements in norse poetry is what the youtuber jackson crawford i think calls a "trivia contest." It's literally just a "story" where two characters say "Hey, let's sit down and discuss pagan cosmogony, metaphysics, history, and virtue." And then they do that, and the entire body of the poem is just Odin and sometimes another guy saying "This is how the universe was created" and "It is virtuous to do X and not Y" and "dead people reincarnate after they die"

>>17275838
I can't remember the name now, but I distinctly remember reading a medieval English legal treatise that was just a discussion of the nature of English law (I think it may have been English ecclesiastical law), but it was unnecessarily framed as being a dialog between a student and his mentor.
I think framing treatises and digests as dialogs between characters in a story is just an interesting northern european idiosyncrasy.

>>17275679
True There is only one God and Muhammad is his prophet

>>17275679
First of all, you only mean Neo-Pagans.
Second, while the lack of continuity may appear to be a problem to some. It's not truly necessary to be a Pagan. Jupiter didn't go away because he was not worshipped for a thousand years, neither did Thor, etc.

>So you larp as an 9th century Scandinavian in the vain belief that if Paganism wasn't destroyed today, it would not have changed beliefs at all.
Well, people still follow the same general bundle of disparate Jewish Schizophrenia a 5th century Anatolian did. So I do not see the issue.

>>17275797
Technically, this is what originally happened, at least in the IE traditions. The rites, magic, and sacrifices were revealed to a lawgiver/teacher by the gods. So they could just say that it happened again.

>>17275798
>How do you know this?
Because we're told that it happened by numerous sources. Snorri is one for Asatru, but Plato talks about this in Greece (and he didn't like it).

>Also if by "rituals" for the Iliad
No, I'm referring to regular things like prayers and animal sacrifice.

>>17275796
>Difference is that the latter are respectively a history of the acts of Jesus
This is not the case, sorry.

>a directly written word of god and a history book with prescriptions by various holy figures.
This isn't the case, no. It does accurately describe the Havamal and Hyndluloð, however!

>Snorri was a catholic by virtually all accounts
Except those of Catholics today, of course.

>you have some songs written down by a small fraction of the Scandinavian world almost 200 years after the official conversion
We have more evidence for Odin than we do for Yeshua bar Yosef.

Yes, you are correct, the evidence for Rabbi Yeshua is quite shaky.

>>17275900
>The rites, magic, and sacrifices were revealed to a lawgiver/teacher by the gods. So they could just say that it happened again.
Odin actually talks about doing this multiple times in the past, and that he will do it again in the future, in the Havamal.

Pagan gods demand sacrifice. It's the entire point of sacrificing. It is why Zeus allowed humanity to stay, so that they may offer sacrifice to the gods. If the gods haven't received sacrifice, why haven't they punished the world?
>Well, people still follow the same general bundle of disparate Jewish Schizophrenia a 5th century Anatolian did. So I do not see the issue.
Except that the bundle isn't only in a written source and it is continuously 2000 year old. There is quite a difference.

>>17276220
>They have. Plagues, Earthquakes, massive wars, Etc.
Not really. It seems as the world became less and less pagan, things got better and better. In fact, the more the world became christian, the better it got, and when the world became less christian, the worse it got.
>Irrelevant, I brought up christianity to demonstrate there were beliefs that didn't change for a long time.
>Irrelevant, I brought up christianity to demonstrate there were beliefs that didn't change for a long time.
not irrelevant because a) Christianity is fundamentally different from Paganism on various structural and conceptual levels. There is no such thing as canon or doctrine in paganism. Which is why you get such wacky and different beliefs over time. As an example Light and dark elves are almost certainly christian additions, as almost certainly is the concept of Valhalla.
>All prophecy and ritual are made up, at first. Or what, do you think the Christian wine and crackers bit is an inviolable part of natural law?
If they are made up then it is clear paganism is atheism with a fashion trend. In Christianity there is no doubt Jesus performed a miracle and only atheists believe in debunking the story.

That is a quote about moderation. The Loddfáfnismál of the havaml is basically mostly that + world advice. Baring a few things it does not deal with the supernatural.
>Then among these the father of men and gods was first to speak:“Look you now, in sooth a well-loved man do mine eyes behold pursued around the wall; and my heart hath sorrow [170] for Hector, who hath burned for me many thighs of oxen on the crests of many-ridged Ida, and at other times on the topmost citadel....

if we take norse context one of the many cases on a day to day basis is in the Gísla saga Súrssonar:
>They sacked the house, and behaved as much like enemies as they could, and took all they could carry with them. After that they row to their ships, and landed on the island, and made a great sacrifice, and vowed vows for a fair wind, and the wind comes. So they put to sea, and have Iceland in their mind's eye.

Pagan sacrifice IS transactional; man satisfies the desires of the gods, and in exchange, they provide him with his earthly longings.

People worship a man/men seeking, but leveraging perception as an end-of-all-thought posture. We recognize that these don't exist for us that there shouldn't be a pervasive intent that tries to leverage and disparage your idea at the same time and paradoxically. To recognize there's no perfect and uncountable heaven or heaven.

If you read the Helgi lays in the codex regius, you'll see that the point of paganism is not to ask things of Odin as if you're asking for an allowance from your dad. Sometimes you're in a bad position and need the help of the gods. But the actual purpose of the religion is to make oneself a suitable vessel for divinity througn virtue so they may ascend to heaven and become an alfar, or ancestor spirit.
This comports with much of what Odin says in the Havamal

I'm speaking objectively, not subjectively. You are objectively less credible because you failed to discover and obvious typo. Subjectively, I would have never found you persuasive, because I've read voluspa en skamma dozens of times and know its contents well.

You believe the world improved upon adopting you values, how surprising! I could have never guessed that. A pagan, with Pagan values, may disagree.
>There is no such thing as canon or doctrine in paganism.
Wrong. You may refer to the vast religious tradition in India and China for proof.
The mutability of pagan myth has more to do with them being orally transmitted than anything else. Once they were written down, such as in Greece, they ceased to be so fluid.

Valhalla is not a christian interpolation. However, Christians did endevour to compare it to heaven, leaving all the other afterlifes of norse religion by the wayside (except Hel).
>If they are made up then it is clear paganism is atheism with a fashion trend.
Well, Pagans don't believe they are made up, of course. But that does not change public opinion on the matter. Gravitas does not spontaneously appear when you start a religion.

The entirety of bacchanalia, mystery cults and philosophies sprang up after SOME of the tales were written down. The imperial cult was also later.
But you are right on one thing. To be more accurately pagan, you need be more like Indians KEK.
>Valhalla is not a christian interpolation. However, Christians did endevour to compare it to heaven, leaving all the other afterlifes of norse religion by the wayside (except Hel).
Valhalla was a later development not present in any germanic or indo European tradition until the 8-9th century when it came into contact with christianity. Same with light and dark elves.

Evola actually practised pagan rituals in secret you know? He was against the revival of a pagan religion like Rowsell advocates for, but he was in favour of esoteric paganism.

Evola was not a Christian. His idea of being a "catholic-pagan" means being outwardly, exoterically Catholic, but inwardly experiencing a pagan rite - esotericism.

The Catholic church is now so full of homosexuals and brown people that it is no longer reasonable to use it for an exoteric form to carry the true pagan Tradition. Therefore Rowsell's solution is far better. I am sure Evola would agree.

Also what we actually know about Paganism is something that can only be determined by people like Rowsell who actually studied the subject properly.

You are merely ignorant of the Tradition and are threatened by it because you are a spiritual Semite.

because To see them "weaselling in" is a christian interpretation. In a Spahn world view, these people are just hired. It is wrong for christians because jews shouldn't exist and they should not hold power over christians. Hence why Augustus was chill with Herod and Josephus being so chummy with the Flavians. Most pagans didn't mind. Only christians did.

>Not what he can do, what he does, how to relate to the gods, how to do rituals, what days to do them, how the supernatural relates to people...
That’s just because you’re misunderstanding the obvious significance of Runatal.
In hanging himself, Odin straddled the realm of infinite potential (the supernatural realm) and the mundane realm (Mithgarthr). He hung himself on the Irminsul and in that way he BECAME the Irminsul, a bridge between life and death, divinity and mortality.
This has obvious ritualistic ramifications for idols. For what is an idol but a mundane thing made to imitate the heavens? Something that exists between worlds and connects the two, like the three great roots of the world tree that run into all realms?
>Your nietzschean POV is one of many and it will never be proven that that is how 8th century pagans thought.
I’m not nietzschean at all. I’m a purely textual and archaeological heathen. If something cannot be reasonably argued from one of these sources, it is not pagan as far as I’m concerned.

Well it can be a powerful object, ritualistic tool, representation of a divine figure, a divinity in itself, just a work of art....
>Something that exists between worlds and connects the two, like the three great roots of the world tree that run into all realms?
AGAIN, this is purely interpretative. It's a speculation on an interpretation of a speculation of an interpretation of a speculation on a verse.
>I’m not nietzschean at all.

>The tree is not specified. It's INTERPRETED as Irminsul.
No, it is definitely Yggdrasil, which is the Irminsul. Yggdrasil means “The Stead of Yggr.” Yggr is a byname of Odin, and calling a noose a “stead” is an old Norse joke. Yggdrasil literally means “The tree Odin hung himself on”
>Just a theory.
A little bit, but not really. Fafnismal only makes sense if my interpretation is correct. Why would a dying dragon suddenly develop incredibly powerful magical abilities (the ability to curse and kill someone by knowing only their name) as soon as he begins to bleed to death? Why would a dying dragon suddenly become a font of wisdom and knowledge when throughout the lays of Sigurthr he has just been acting like a fucking psychotic crack fiend for Andvari’s gold?

>>17275679

>and THAT is why you should worship the Canaanite storm god and his son (who is himself), the circumcised Rabbi of Nazareth

No.

Doctrine and canon is literally made up, it's not exactly hard to produce doctrine and canon

One thing I noticed is it's all muh tradition and ancentorz and shit until most "trad" pagans encounter something like Kybele's cult/Artimpasa and they either purposely ignore it or deny it.

>>17277617
It's all muh tradition and anceztorz until we remember that Jesus is a Jewish name.

>>17277587
Oh, also, it completely slipped my mind, Odin’s trance in Grimnismal is another example of of straddling life and death bringing about great power and wisdom.
The evil king Geirroth tied Odin up and set him between two roaring bonfires for 9 days, much like when Odin hanged himself for 9 days in Runatal.
This motif shows up constantly. If is technically a theory, but on account of its ubiquity, I think you would have to concede that it is at least an incredibly strong theory.

The term antisemitism was de facto created and popularised by the German Wilhelm Marr to give a more scientific term to the christian anti jewish sentiment in the late 1800s. This was the time of pogroms and whatnot but because englightenment pseudoscholrs basically made stuff like bloodline uncool and anti judaism as archaic, he basically modernised the term to refer to a cultural understanding. Later on it took a racial characteristic. But that's the thing, they were basically updating and modernising the sentiment and viewpoint that christianity had. It's why race consciousness without christianity would be relatively insufficient. German jews who are ashkenazi are genetically far more Northern European (though on average they plot on the same level as Italians) due to heavy admixture. Germany would have persecuted southern germans (Swabians and bavarians are distinct genetically from northern ones) long before they would have turned their eye on jews.

>>17277587
I mean desu 9 is generally INFERRED to be an important number in norse mythology. So it would make sense for it to be repeated.
>No, it is definitely Yggdrasil
Not really because it isn't mentioned in the text. It's inferred/interpreted as such but it's not stated anywhere that this is the case. Just a tree with no roots. Could mean anything strictly speaking.
>Why would a dying dragon suddenly develop incredibly powerful magical abilities (the ability to curse and kill someone by knowing only their name) as soon as he begins to bleed to death? Why would a dying dragon suddenly become a font of wisdom and knowledge when throughout the lays of Sigurthr he has just been acting like a fucking psychotic crack fiend for Andvari’s gold?
It also could make sense as a story telling device, much how Vergil is a guide for Dante without christians actually believing that Vergil would have been given such a task. It makes sense because you need it to make sense for a purpose. I mean desu in the Pharsalia by Lucan, Pompey is given a prophecy by a zombie. Not necessarily anything more than that.

>Just a tree with no roots.
It’s a tree “whose roots grow in a place no man has ever seen,” not a tree with no roots. Yggdrasils roots would be invisible to men because they exist outside the realm of mundanity/ Mithgarthr (they extend into Hel and Jotunheimar, the supernatural world)
>Not necessarily anything more than that.

No? Just because it's "likely" that it was that doesn't mean it is. It's a good interpretation ,but it is an interpretation. It could as well been meant with Noose of odin the tree where sacrifices for odin was done. But still it does not matter because you fundamentally do not know this.
> It’s a tree “whose roots grow in a place no man has ever seen,”
Fair enough, hasty typing on my end. Still it could equally mean a tree that nobody knows because else you'd be able to find it and "attempt" at doing what odin did.
>ok so explain why Odin resurrects dead witches to receive the most important prophecies in both Voluspa and Baldrs Draumar. I’m telling you, this motif is everywhere. Saying “Whatever, it’s probably a coincidence” seems to me to be highly inadequate.
1). Highly inadequate but still possible. And the fact that it is possible means that it is uncertain.
2)
> I’m telling you, this motif is everywhere
to be fair, this motif is everywhere in any mythological setting. You'd hardly ask someone for hidden knowledge amongst the normal living because they are part of the normal plain. Aka Dante with various souls, Greek myth whenever they go in the underworld, King Saul and the witch, Gilgamesh and dead enkidu....
Archetypes exist as well....

>>17278590
>It could as well been meant with Noose of odin the tree where sacrifices for odin was done
The nature of the old norse joke is that you would say that the noose someone was killed with was their "horse" (presumably because you "rode" the noose to your death), so Yggdrasil must mean "The tree where Odin died by hanging" rather than it being a tree where Odin kills others by hanging them.
>find it and "attempt" at doing what odin did.
You can do what Odin did. Well, you can't conquer death, unfortunately, but you can, if only in an extremely de minimis way, straddle the two realms. The importance of Odin hanging himself on Yggdrasil is not that the tree gave his sacrifice especial potency, it's for the symbolism of straddling the mundane realm and the spirit realm while connected via a rope to a tree which also, famously, straddles the mundane and supernatural realm (Yggdrasil's roots run into Mithgarthr and Hel, which is contiguous with Jotunheimar and Asgarthr, making these 3 realms, collectively, the "spirt" realm.). It's compounded symbolism meant to drive home a point.
>Highly inadequate but still possible. And the fact that it is possible means that it is uncertain.
Well sure, it is of course all theories of mine. None are technically definitively proven or even provable, but I think that the evidence for my interpretations is pretty substantial.

>>17280510
They’re both right. Germanic polytheists do not believe in a hard division of matter and spirit, the two are intertwined and closely related. The differentiation is, as with anything in Germanic polytheism, one of priority. It’s a gradient, basically, as opposed to each thing— matter and spirit— each constituting one discrete thing.
Humans are matter, and magic is spirit, but the Holy Gods are both matter and spirit.
