    Very true, though your slurs were uncalled for. We appreciate the gods as the legendary beings they are, and for the values they taught our people.

      anyways no gods. maybe some ancient kings have been honored and someone turned them to gods. also what i mean with "king" is obviously leader. and the leader sees itself as equal to others. that is major point too.

        one got up the mountain and in 9 days brought the Commandments to the tribe of Israel (which is remade into Isragard / Asgard in Norse fanfics) the other hung on a world tree to deliver runes to people. Hmmmm...

            name 5 distinct differences between Thor and YHWH from the Bible. I'll be a good golem and name 5 similarities proving religious plagiarism. Both storm deities that slowly became main gods of their pantheons. Both have a symbol based on their weapon (hammer and trident). Both beat up their dad. Both sent down thunder. Both beaten the Wyrm and the Serpent of Sea.

            To be fair, it won't frick with my beliefs since I thought of the whole "Moses is Odin" theory on the fly for this thread in order to keep it on page 1 for almost an hour. Weird that nobody spotted that from the start, since I wrote that it took 9 days for Moses to make the Commandments, while in the source material it says (Exodus 24:18) that Moses stayed on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights and not one person caught this, showing their true level of expertise. Real talk though, yeah, the lack of records really puts the whole Old Testament to question. I think I even heard somewhere that they didn't even have a israelite-exclusive cast of slaves, despite the Bible stating otherwise? Kinda hokey. I wonder how apologists explain that factoid.

            I think it is applaudable that you can admit you were wrong on that but they were also right on the debate on Moses. The exodus never happened as far as we are aware. When Israel took the Sinai peninsula during the 6 day war they excavated and found no evidence. Furthermore, the egyptians wrote everything down and would have recorded that should it have happened. I'm not trying to knock what you believe but i'm at least trying to ask that you have a more open mind on this specific topic.

            There is absolutely zero evidence whatsoever that Judaism is even THAT old, let alone that the old testament was solidified BEFORE THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT WERE BUILT. If you're not a young earth creationist then your history is piss-poor. If you are a YEC then just stop reading my post s I don't care about the discussion anymore because you're stupid and ignorant.
            If you just fricked up your dates:
            The sagas go back into the 400s-500s AD as compiled by Snorri Sturleson in the 1200s AD. Most scholars now acknowledge that the Norse (and Hellenic for that matter) pantheons evolved out of Proto-Indo-Europran religion, which is likely where the Cannanites got their gods from as well, who became Yahweh and all that.
            No idea why you brought nazi horseshit into this, as if you've got to be a bootlicking fascist to see how foul the israelite's God is.
            Hint: their God isn't foul because they're israelites, he's foul because he is evil. Re-read your Bible, read about israeli history. Go ahead. I'm not even an anti-semite. I just read history.

        I have used rhetorical devices that might seem like insults, but are in fact arguments. Stop acting like I offended you. You said a lot of harsh words yourself. I'm not mad. Do me a courtesy and admit you are not mad as well. Behaviours we both displayed are part and parcel of arguing on an imageboard like EerieWeb.

            I think it is applaudable that you can admit you were wrong on that but they were also right on the debate on Moses. The exodus never happened as far as we are aware. When Israel took the Sinai peninsula during the 6 day war they excavated and found no evidence. Furthermore, the egyptians wrote everything down and would have recorded that should it have happened. I'm not trying to knock what you believe but i'm at least trying to ask that you have a more open mind on this specific topic.

            To be fair, it won't frick with my beliefs since I thought of the whole "Moses is Odin" theory on the fly for this thread in order to keep it on page 1 for almost an hour. Weird that nobody spotted that from the start, since I wrote that it took 9 days for Moses to make the Commandments, while in the source material it says (Exodus 24:18) that Moses stayed on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights and not one person caught this, showing their true level of expertise. Real talk though, yeah, the lack of records really puts the whole Old Testament to question. I think I even heard somewhere that they didn't even have a israelite-exclusive cast of slaves, despite the Bible stating otherwise? Kinda hokey. I wonder how apologists explain that factoid.

        Also, there wasn't a good faith discussion to begin with. Re-read the anon's first reactions. At least they could vent their frustration at a moron. Like you're doing right now.

The particular tract reads like so: "because odin was heterosexually active, he was in danger of depleting his semen, the source of his powers, and therefore he had to replenish his supply from time to time. the myths tell us that he did this by visiting corpses hanging from gallows. on these visits odin drank the semen ejaculated by the hanged men."

    Any of you c**ts hunt or hike? I'm not a practicing pagan or animist but being in nature is the closest I'll get to it. The wiccans have shit esthetics and veer ever more into leftist idiocy, but I like the ones who faithfully observe the sabbats or wheel of the year or whatever homosexual shit they call it. A faith that places you in time and place is better than one persistently worried about an abstract end

      It isn't all about nature and hunting. I can't speak for the Norsegays, but in Celtic religion, there are Gods who are more "privative" and gods of culture and civilization.

      Cernunnos mostly encompasses nature and animals, but he also has a hand in war, death, and masculinity (aka, the half of humanity that actually builds stuff.)

      But if it really matters to you, I work with animals. I hunt sometimes, and i'm getting more into it because frick paying $20 for a shitty steak.

    then read the sagas and the history of the germanic tribes, start with isidore and tacitus
    its also worth reading the works of grimm, including their fairy tales (take note of similarities between modern german folktales and ancient pagan myths; there are many if you look closely. start with red riding hood and sleeping beauty)
    njals saga, jomsviking saga and eggirs saga are my favorites, especially njal.

    You should only be following the Norse Gods if you are of the appropriate descent. That said, the Germanic Pantheon was reckoned upon tribal lines, leading to the Anglo-Saxon/Ingvaeonic branch, Frisian, Norse, & Continental/German. It's equivalent to Hispanics referring to Yeshua as "hey-sous," linguistic moreso than anything else. All of the Aryan/Indo-European Pantheons are reflections of each other, whether they be Germanic, Celtic, Baltic, Slavic, Hellenic, Latin, Armenian, Egyptian, Illyrian, Dacian, Scythian, Persian, or Vedic/Indic.

    As for the nature of the Gods, as the tradition was broken save for folk knowledge/clevercraft/witchcraft, & the written myths & sagas, there is no absolute agreement. Nor does there need to be. Asatru is not a dogmatic religion; so long as truth, nature, blood, and honor are observed, the rest is of little consequence. My personal view is rather schizo in a way: the Gods exist as primordial entities, the collective souls of the ancestors, archetypes within the psyche to be unlocked, as well as forces of nature, simultaneously.

    The myths serve as metaphors for the most part, riddles meant to facilitate greater understanding of the world. The "pagan" worldview is cyclical; there is no true beginning, nor end, and that applies to the Gods as well, who sometimes lived as men before their ascent.

    Read the Eddas, Vedas, Oera Linda, Vare Tradisjoner, & listen to Stephen McNallen, Varg Vikernes, Survive the Jive, Philosophicat, & Carolyn Emerick, then form your own understanding.

    Meditation, lucid dreaming, OBE, astral projection, etc. are the best methods to reach greater knowledge, as personal experience outweighs others' testimony. Listen to Wardruna, Wolcensmen, Heilung, & Kati Ran to immerse yourself & better enter a trance conducive to receiving insight.
