I personally follow Norse Paganism specifically Rokkatru Norse Paganism because I have always felt a connection with it, as if I belong to it. I used to follow Christianity.

Yes Yahweh is son of El, its literally caaninite shit where Yahweh admits in Exodus 34:14 that you shall not worship no other god implying there is others, also Judges 1:19 shows he isn't all powerful with the iron chariots.
For you shall worship no other god
Exodus 34:14 states, "For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."

Divine Solipsism

I don't believe that it is moral to create billions of self-aware fragile beings, treating awareness like common dirt.

I don't believe it is moral to fractal into billions of masks to taste every angle simultaneously.

If anything other than Divine Solipsism were true, then I would either make Divine Solipsism true ( in the case of billions of mask nondualism ) or pursue soul level oblivion after living as a hedonist (in the case of separate fragile souls being true).

what's norse paganism about? I'm kinda scizo and was in another dimension whilst watching weird music produced by lucifer on tv. I don't think lucifer is in hell just yet, but calling him Odin is kinda cringe and makes me think you're a furry.

>>41174008
Parts are in the bible but Yahweh marrying Asherah is in the bible, it's like Islam where there's esoteric gems hidden in it but if you actually read the bible Yahweh is fucked and obviously not all powerful considering he promised victory then they lost to the iron chariots and he literally calls himself a jealous god when artifacts from BC show him with other Canaanite deities. Also, when Christians pray they do not say Eloah which means God, they say Elohim which means God(s) meaning its plural they are praying to the entire pantheon and this is why the church didnt want the masses to get the bible, the bible for the pastor was for them to go over and to get esoteric gems while the rest was for people to give the Abrahamics power, if you read the entire bible front to back you will see Yahweh is not all good, nor all benevolent. We are at war with Apolyon and Christianity demonizes every other power besides Yahweh, the tower of Babel he was offended because the people were trying to lift themselves up instead of wait for him. You realize they conflate Nimrod with stupid when Nimrod was leader of Babylon right? Only Christianity demonizes other religions like this and Daemon is from Greek just meaning god like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(classical_Greek_mythology)

Watch Survive the Jive Odin has 12 names and in history many kings claimed Odin made them king. Read Havamal The words of The high one Odin, reminder Odin is called "The liar" but he's like liquor he tests if you're a man or not

He’s a wretched man, of an evil disposition,
the one who makes fun of everything;
he doesn’t know the one thing he ought to know;
that he himself is not devoid of faults.

Yahweh marrying Asherah isn't in the bible* do comparative mythology and read the Ba'al cycle, Yahweh isn't shit compared to El, Marduk/Mot, Yahweh, and Ba'al are all sons of El, Yahweh is scrawny compared to the hall of El, you need to learn planetary astrology.

Currently I'm exploring nature worship. I've been making offerings and prayers to Silvanus (whom I call Silvanus-Cocidius during prayer, simply because my ancestry is English as far back as the 10th century) for a few months now. I have a weekly worship session at a special tree in the forest around my home, and I take special care not to step on any new plant growth whenever possible as forms of daily worship while hiking. I'm taking an interest in training as a druid, but I have to see what some of these modern orders are really about before I bother joining them. Either way, I plan to take professional training to become a "wildlife EMT" so I can provide first aid to injured animals without getting mauled as a way of serving Silvanus as well.

Divide and conquer, He is Rod to the Slavs, if the Anglos did something you'd cope about how they aren't the realest Norwegian Vikings or something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwyHtOl1KtU
Odin has 12 names and I'd say the main two ends of him are frenzied/calm and intellectual, the Anglo Saxon version Woden is way crazier/ecstatic, Woden is more ecstatic, Wotan is more Commander/Militaristic, Rod is more family fate oriented, all are archetypes of Odin. Odin can be called liar, he lies to test, but he is a good grandfather, theres stories of him disguising himself to test people. Also you're looking over the Slovaks let me guess you're sub 6 foot we wuz romans, you realize Slavs are 102 IQ average and have some of the best test scores in the EU right?

>>41174241
Divide and conquer strategy spreading Christianity is the main agenda of the JIDF, think of it like this if you die and say Jesus Christ take my soul what do you think happens? why do you think they care so much about the last 5 seconds on your death bed instead of I dont know god showing you things you did wrong in your life in purgatory? No its all about repenting and saying Jesus can have your soul right before you're death. Interesting that most of the NPC clips about "MSNBC said trump said, trump said, it was so racist!" and then you ask him what trump said and they can't actually repeat what Trump said that was so wrong. Also Trump did not swear on a bible he is possessed by Wotan. Ben Shapiro regularly thanks Jesus for the state of Israel, makes you wonder where all this prayer power is going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWOPUDN-Tfo&t

>>41174167
To my Russian friend, he is less of a liar than Yahweh but he will lie to incite people and disguise himself yes, you haven't seen the one-eyed homeless man who's actually Odin?

>>41174569
I'd say the main thing about entity dynamics is knowing truthful entities that will tell you who what is and if you have Slavic blood then you should worship Triglav he is very nice and will make you good in all skills, the Christians hate Triglav, he's also probably Lugh to the Irish. But I will have Triglav identify other entities because some entities are always truthful but mimic entities make things very very hard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglav_(mythology)

Triglav or Thor will tell you that Rod is Odin and Id say as someone whos euro mixed and can talk to multiple archetypes of Odin, Rod is the calmest and family oriented while Woden will encourage you to do crazy ecstatic things.

Basically a form of dreaming sorcery as a practice, but as far as belief goes, I go based on memory, rather than beliefs. I've seen so many things in dreams, related to everything of my own past history, and its somewhat indescribable compared to what religion states.
Its basically seeing how things really were, or are, rather than what people believe about those same things, and trying to work out some type of conclusion or reconciliation between a limited psychic view of the past, and how people recorded it.
You say Norse Paganism, I think that is foolish. Ill tell you why. While its true that many of those beings were real, and did or do exist, what you think you understand about them, or history itself, is completely braindead. Your so called Norse traditions are basically a cargo cult of peoples oral traditions and stories about actual history, involving various levels of beings from different layers of reality and consciousness, and also other planets, and realms of being, that came to earth.
Believing in these entities as 'gods', is like saying your brother or grandfather is a god. Its nonsense. They were very specific entities who had very specific levels of consciousness which enabled them to comprehend nature in various ways that yielded them certain abilities, and status, among the universe and on earth.
And then, its not even that they were the only ones who came here. Its all different groups. I am familiar with the Pleiadian group, as that is the one I am part of, but even saying Pleiadian doesn't really describe everything. Yes, we lived on other planets, but no, that isn't necessarily where we came from. There are different planes of consciousness, and some beings came from higher levels down into this reality, and some beings left this reality and returned home.
And then there are 'angels', and watchers, etc. I can't say I've truly comprehended it all though.

Seems a bit contradictory.There's room for some work and/or veneration with certain figures from that general side of things, but choosing to exclusively work and venerate only them and exclude Aesir and Vanir probably won't do you much good.

>can I worship Odin while being Rokkatru?
why would you worship Odin and also the entity who is supposed to kill him in prophecy? what does fenris represent to you exactly? just curious
>Why is it silly?
it is not historically founded. there is no evidence that the christian dichotomy of good vs evil influenced the eddic view of loki. there are no cult locations devoted to loki or artifacts associated with him; save for a very few and rare that always depict loki in a state of subjugation; either with his mouth stitched, as described in the skaldskaparmal, or chained and inverted as he is depicted in the gosforth cross. these depictions are consistent with the depictions of evil or malevolent beings in other cultures; such as apep. egyptian law maintained that any image of apep must include an image of another god such as ra or horus above him, to show their superiority. saturn, while worshiped for his aspects as a time and harvest god, was also subjugated in various ways; his idols had their feet bound by lead wrappings every day of the year save for saturnalia, which was believed to nullify his influences. the depictions we have of loki seem to indicate that their intention was to subjugate lokis' influence; not enhance it. its one thing to try to revive an ancient religion that has had its continuity cut off for 1000 years, but then heaping stuff like rokkatru on top of it just really makes it look like a larp at best, while distorting what we know of the historical religion at worst. this results in a complete deviation from the original religion as we try to bring it into the modern age; and creates a mutation that would have been alien and contrary to the people who practiced this religion 1000 years ago. its like being a satanist or a pagan wasnt quite enough to shock your christian parents, it was necessary that you be a pagan satanist who worships the bad guys from a pagan pantheon so you can really convince them you are possessed by demons

You two are the most moronic bible readers i have found on the internet, really. As Saint Augustine said: the bible is neither for naive nor arrogant people. You two clearly dont understand the context of the word "Gods" used by the "prophets" (YHWH)
But i will give you a hint; gods were used to refers to people who whorship "things" as deity AKA Totemism; and also to refer to practices like: lust for the flesh (sex), power (posessions) and so on.

Since you seem to be a self appointed old testament expert can you please explain why yahwoo was trying to kill his boy moses here?


>At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

Every religion killed people at one point in time. You either accept that it's a barbaric practice from long-gone people and stop blaming modern practitioners for it, or you accept that every religion has had some reason or another for killing. The Crusades were just one big human sacrifice (killing people in exchange for god giving the holy land to European christians) when you boil it down, but you'd look ridiculous saying that someone's not a "real" christian for not killing any muslims
>>
>>41179231
You forgot about Jainism. There isn't ever a single historical record ever of a Jain killing someone. That's because they;re extreme about non-violence, like even if you accidentally step on a bug you get an extra thousand years of suffering.

The entire universe is an alchemical process, a process of endless creative transformation.
This is seen in its profound historical trend of "increasing complexity."
The universe continually pushes the limits of what it is capable of and produces novel beauty.
Whenever you seek The Unknown, to grasp beyond your immediate conditions of knowledge and experience, to connect to and love others, you are following the Eros of the universe.
The question mark is the true symbol of enlightenment.

they dont forbid missionaries, its just that they think their religion can only validly be spread by a prophet, and there has not been a prophet since Zoroaster. they also believe that all other religions are either creations of Ahura Mazda or Ahriman thus they dont really see the rise of christianity or islam as a problem, since they see them as Mazda oriented religions. it is fair to say though that this is a more recent sentiment and probably kinda a cope for their dismal situation; back in the day they considered christians and muslims to be heretics and killed them, as they killed and executed mani and his followers

I worship Tiamat, my worship isn't based on known track. It started out as worshipping the universal idea of Chaos after a particularly bad mental episode, then She revealed herself to me while I was meditating. I continue to worship Her because She's really nice and comforting to me, and I feel the world's issues are all caused by people trying to control everything, trying to put their own order to things. Nobody's immune to chaos, chaos is the only constant and it will break what is strong and lift up that which is weak.

The only kind of Thursatru which isn't literally plebbit tier, loki is a trans ally shit is the black metal satanic misanthrope variety. There is a two part book series on the latter called Abgrundjabōkiz. The adherents worship the thursar and the void and await Ragnarok as if it is a good thing.

>>
>>41177752
Agreed. I don't believe in traditional gods or deites, as they are only false effigies humanity created to give name to more primordial forces.

I do believe in the power of human collective subconscious though. There's a reason every culture and faith emphasizes the importance of worship or cult of thing. They can be gods, concepts, physical objects or even personalities. Anything the human mind is capable of venerating really.

Since brains are computer-like in structure, worship equals allocating some of its processing capability to the object of said worship, giving it more power within the collective subconscious. The mental entities that people calls gods, demons, spirits or whatever are powerless in nature by themselves, and can only derive their power from mental computation of their worshippers, as it's their only way of exerting influence upon the tangible and material reality. In that way they can somewhat resemble tulpas but on a collective scale.

They are not necessarily good or evil, as they exist on a higher, consciously inaccessible mental plane where they are not contrained by subjective morality. Instead they resonate with and amplify the ideas and concepts they embody, which can lead to people misinterpreting them as either malicious or benevolent.

By exerting their influence on reality they can also sometimes bring boons or harm to people if it helps empower them.

The abrahamic god, Yahweh for example is a parasitic-like entity on the subconscious, with its domain within aspects of jealousy, control and pursuit of power among other things. Unlike the Indo-European aspects of nature it supplanted, Yahweh has made itself a desirable idol by putting man above the natural order, rather than as a part of it. This way it has also influenced the creation of the flawed modern systems, like capitalism, totalitarianism or sharia, which reflect its nature, but they're unsustainable and reason for impending global collapse.

None that has a denomination. I believe that there are many lowercase gods and one actual God, which may be equated to the Universe, the everything, it really boils down to semantics at this level.

It's a bit baffling how many people don't realise that Israelites weren't really monotheistic until maybe 6th-5th century BC. Echoes of Asherah persisted at least as late as Middle Ages, imo that's where Shekhinah in the qabalistic schools of thought comes from.

The Bible has many hints at polytheism, both among the (proto)Israelites and other people in the region. The mention of Elohim as a royal we is a later invention, for example, it initially was most likely a full on pantheon of gods, demoted to angels/sons of God later on. Jahwists just pushed through over time.

That's where my current beliefs are leaning, an actually omnipotent/-present/-scient being would have no need for worship, offerings and the like.
