My experiences have led me to conclude that magic is real but I've yet to feel the presence of any god in my life

>>39136832>>39134495Pine, the Rune of Heimdall.....Heimdall, in Norse mythology, the watchman of the gods. Called the shining god and "whitest skinned" of the gods, Heimdall dwelt at the entry to Asgard, where he guarded Bifrost, the rainbow bridge.Heim meaning.... Home.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwEOXrkjEOI>Isn't that correct.... Odinson?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwEOXrkjEOI
>>39136897wish we knew more about Heimdall bros. The Avesta calls Mithras the Lord with 1000 Eyes and 1000 Ears, The Keeper of the Bridge of 7 Beams (bifrost) and the Warden of Heaven. Heimdall is also described as omnipresent like Mithras; its said Heimdall hears the growing of wool on sheep, and can spot a black-birds eye in the night. He is truly one of the more fascinating of the old Aryan Gods, its a tragedy we know so little of him
>>39134539Sometimes I wonder if Stabby Louis has enough self awareness to realize he's done more damage to the image of paganaism than the average fluffbunny
>>39136952>fluffbunnyI had to google what this even means. are you a wiccan?
>>39136980No, but I picked up the term by hanging out with them.
>>39136940The way Heimdallr is described in Rigsthula leads me to believe that he is OdinThe first stanza describes him like this>It is said that>a wise god, Rigr (which we are told is another name for Heimdallr),>powerful and aged,>fierce and strong,>walked upon >green roadsRigsthula is the poem where Heimdallr created the classes of men, an idea that is repeated in the very first stanza of Voluspa>Heed my words,>All classes of men,>you greater and lesser>children of Heimdallr.>...Voluspa also tells us that Odin created men and women, and we know from the genealogies of various sagas that Odin is the father of various dynasties, which would coincide with Heimdallr fathering the princely caste in Rigsthula.My total headcanon speculation is that "Heimdallr" may have been Odin's name before he underwent his sacrifice on the world tree described in Havamal. When he reincarnated and returned to Asgard, he was reborn as Odin the warrior god.
celtic reconstructionist here much love to my norsefag brothers
>>39134245I really want to learn more about the original Proto-Indo-European religion or whatever's left of it but it seems the closest I can get is Romuva/Baltic religion which seems to be fairly similar
>>39134245I'm sympathetic, but don't force things on people! Let them find their own Way to the gods - or not. The Statist approach to religion is almost over. PLZ don't 'ape' the Right Christcuck ignoramuses.
>>39137668I really do feel for celtic pagans and rodnovers. People always mock my religion, asatru, for not having any writings left behind, but in fact we actually have a shit ton of info about norse paganism.Celtic paganism and rodnovery, by contrast, has almost nothing. I wish you reconstructionists the best of luck. You've chosen a hard road to go down, but I hope you're successful.>>39137764The amount of parallels between asatru and vedic hinduism really leads me to believe that both are very close to pure IE ur-myths.You also have to consider that scandis have some of the highest IE admixture out of any european group.
>>39136897>Called the shining god and "whitest skinned" of the godsAlbedo?>>39137045That makes a lot of sense, are there any scholars who believe this?
>>39138279>Albedo?interesting connection I never made before. Heimdall also has many connections to Agni as described in the Rigveda; primarily being born of 9 mothers and the head being a sword riddle. Agni was the god of Fire and intermediary between the gods and the humans, bringing the burnt sacrifices of mortals up to the heavens upon smoke. but the light aspect is even more interesting than the fire >>39137045I normally dont agree with this idea that Odin and Heimdall are the same beings, but I just remembered this picture of Heimdall from a 16th century copy of the eddas. normally odin was equated to mercury, given the way the week-day names are translated from latin to germanic languages (what was mercurdi or mercurys day became wednesday or wodensday) but this illustration clearly depicts heimdall as the mercury of the norse pantheon, with the staff and winged sandals. now normally I would just chalk this up to it being a very late drawing, made well past the age of genuine pagan tradition living well in iceland, but it is a curious notion to suggest, and they do both contain very mercurial attributes when you think about it
>>39138279>That makes a lot of sense, are there any scholars who believe this?>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADgs%C3%BEula>However, some scholars, including Finnur Jónsson and Rudolf Simek, have suggested this is a role more appropriate to Óðinn and that the Eddic tradition has thus transferred the name Rígr from him to Heimdall.[3][5] Since Rígsþula is only preserved in a 14th-century manuscript, it is also plausible that the prose introduction was added by the compiler to conform it to the opening of Völuspá.[2]It seems like it, according to Wikipedia.Another interesting thing that I recalled while flipping through my copy of the poetic edda is that Loki in Lokasenna says that Heimdallr is "cursed" to look out over the world forever as a watchman for the gods.As explained in both Skirnismal and Grimnismal, Odin has a great tower called Hlithskjalf in the heavens, and in this tower he has a throne which lets him see out over the entire universe, and keep watch of everything that happens.
I'm also fascinated by the ancient Germanic deity/figure of Tiwisko (Tuisto). A being sired of the earth (much like Thunar's birth) and had a son named Mannus; who then sired the three notable progenitors of the Germanic tribes. Personally I think Tiwisko is Tiw's son, but could Mannus be Hama (Heimdallr)?
Paganism world union.One world, many gods. We're all brothers, do not forget that when they try to make us fight.
Blessed be to all of you.
May the blessings of Tiw be upon (You) all.
Good Wuotan's Day to all.
Hail THE SUNJesus is the Sun! Jesus is the bright and shining morningstar!
An actual god can't be maimed/have his eye removed.God sent His first son, Jesus, to come down to Earth to bring His people back to the one and only god, and to not worship demons masking as powerful deities.https://www.youtube.com/@TruthVids/videos
>>39140892Please stay in your thread.
>>39137900I'm more so interested in the daily rituals/acts/prayers done by the everyman, it's one of the reasons HBO's Rome is one of my favourite shows, it has both the grand rites with bull sacrifices and such we've known pagan religions had, but also shows the small shrines people had at home, hell there's a scene where a guy in prison captures a beetle and begs the gods for something knowing his ''sacrifice'' is a puny beetle
>>39140954Yeah, most tend to think if you didn't have some grandiose offering to give the Gods then it wasn't worth the effort; but really it's the opposite. As long as something is given in honest devotion, then it can be proper worship.The Gods don't really "need" anything in the sense humans do. We give to Them because we honor and love Them, and all They have done for us.
>>39140892An actual God can't be crucified.
>>39140892contaminate some other threadThe god's bodies are just vessels to contain their divinity, they exist beyond flesh>Havamal stanza 138>I know that I hung>on a wind-battered tree>nine long nights,>pierced by a spear>and given to Odin,>myself to myself,>on that tree>whose roots grow in a place>no one has ever seen.>...>It is better not to pray at all>than to pray for too much;>nothing will be given that you won't repay.>It is better to sacrifice nothing>than to offer too much.>Odin carved this>before the birth of mankind,>when he rose up from the dead>and returned home again.
>>39140892>a god cant have his eye removed>but he can get nailed to a crossDelusional
>>39142784Also>Believing the eye hidden is not itself useful otherwise, as a metaphor for divine sight>When the actual eye was given to the ravens to watch the world, this granting both physical and divine sight
>>39144091Bro, the average christian can't even bother with the nuance and symbolism of their own religion. You could explain pagan myths to them in veggietales terms and they still wouldn't get it.
>>39144283Lol, and of course the Christian also thinks his baseless assertion that his God is more powerful is an effective argument. He just sounds like a kid saying infinity plus one, not even getting into how absurd an idea omnipotence is (problem of evil, creating a mountain he can't lift etc.)
