But European paganism is dead; it was wiped out by Christianty just like Islam tried to wipe out paganism in India, but failed.

The closest thing that is alive today and still has the same Proto-Indo-European religious roots is what is called "Hinduism", specifiically the cult of Lord Śiva

But I'm not telling you to put a dot between your eyes and chant or anything like that

Find a good book and learn about it, the best book I can recommend is Yoga Vashistha

When I say "yoga", don't think of any "yoga postures" or anything like that... all that is bullshit pop culture. Yoga has nothing to do with any gymnastics.

Basically the core truth in there is that consciousness is the substance of reality and that all reality emanates from consciousness, so there is no "external" reality really, it's only a projection.

These truths were the esoteric core of the European pagan traditions too, for instance, check into the Eleusinian Mysteries in Greece.

Dig deep anon, and you will find.

Mate I understand where you're coming from, and I agree. What I mean is that despite it, the teachings hold up well. I'm agnostic, but sometimes its worth looking at this from another angle, instead of calling out the opposite of your belief merely because of that difference. Atheism is mainly communism, by the way and look at what happened. I don't know, I never really get into it so much but my guess is that when Atheism puts the individual at that 'ME ME ME' sort of ideal. I feel being Agnostic is the best way to view things like these, for you can't say for sure on or the other.. remember how one time not long ago where scientists said there was only 1 single galaxy? to find out 100s of millions were around? How the earth was 100% completely flat not too long ago? Just keep an open mind, brother

Atheism is realizing that the existing explanations for existence are untrue and deciding that it somehow follows that there literally is no explanation.

I know a lot about Rodneverje, can relate to it metaphorically but this doesn't make me a Pagan.

It's simply an invention, I willfully participate in these old rituals while not taking them literally as did my forefathers. This is typical neo-paganism and I claim you can't be a non-neo pagan today.

I never said I believed. I merely stated what we all already know as true, religious teachings have a way to keep a strong unity among others. I am agnostic, you do know that it means 'I don't know' right? Problem I have with Atheism is the lack of explanation to this God question, something other than
OTHER PLANETS N STUFF
SCIENCE SAYS SO!
UNIVERSE

I mean sure, thats why I am not religious, but even Stephen Hawking stated that science is still trying to find evidence to hold up for this

I don't see whats so hard about keeping an open mind since in truth we as a species don't actually know shit.. even in our own world we are still finding more and more species of animals, especially in the waters. Hell, we know more about space than we do about our world's oceans

>For most people religion they were indoctrinated in fits the bill. Some are willing to experiment
I've distanced myself from Christianity long ago. I still find it important from the sociological point of view though. But again, that is how an atheist would look at it.

I am willing to experiment and that's what I do but I can't MAKE MYSELF into literally believing this. It always ends up as a metaphor or a nice way of looking at it but never as "the way things are".

I believe atheism is here to stay, we have robbed ourselves of our gods, we have stolen their lightning and captured it in our laboratories. We have surpassed many of the forces of nature that we have praised so heavily.
There is no way back

The problem with religious explanations is that they are numerous and contridictorary. With Jahweh alone you have christianity, islam and judsaism and their thousends of splinter factions. All claiming to be the only true way, all as likely to be right as the rest. If you want to keep an "open mind" you need to be open for ALL posibilities, not just one you grew up with.

Romuva-fag here.

Feels fucking good man. When religions ceremonies are actually about building communities, when the religion itself has strong roots in nationalism, a link with your land and your people is expressed just as much as the link with the Gods. Shit is build around ethnocentrism, hence not an expansionist religion like the Abrahamic religions, but building a belief of the importance of your people and your land as opposed to the cuckery of Christendom or the batshit insanity of Mudslimism.

So yes, I strongly believe that if these type of religions would be dominating European landscape we would definitely not have a cucked future like we do now, because the ideal of preserving YOUR people and tending to YOUR land with YOUR Gods would not allow the spread of libtardism to take over.

Neo-Paganism has been arond since the XIX cent and achieved nothing except of maybe some Black Metal. Neo-pagans are LARPers and half of them are Wicca-style feminist anti racist hippies.

And paganism lost to Christianity anyway.

Christian Roman Empire did not colapse in the East and was doing quite well for centuries, the collapse of Western Rome was not caused by Christianity, in fact if it hadn't been for Christian monks unwashed Germanic barbarians wouldn't even know how to write.

t. Atheist who likes both Catholic and pagan culture, but most of modern Church is cucked as fuck and pagans are fringe demented DnD kids usually.

Of course you can't be a non neo-pagan, the tradition wasn't 'revived' until 150 years ago and very little is known about it. I'd imagine the best way to get into it would be to go to bronze and iron age sites and try to imagine what they would have used the space for (archaeologists do this). Generally bringing your lifestyle closer to ancient peoples with more hunting/gethering and growing your own food might help. Anything else with names/rituals etc is absurd. But then so is any religion apparently.

That's way to much work than you think it is. Man doesn't live long enought to fully grasp all posible versions of christianity alone. Just look at gnostics and their numerous versions. At nestorians, ebonites and all those unnamed sects from the very begining of christianity who probably didn't even belive in phisical Jesus. With milions of just unlikely posibilities atheism isn't about being sure all of them are wrong. It's about being sure that praboblity of any of them being right is too small to even take seriously.

You can be a non neo-pagan. It typically involves a family tradition, however. Of course, if we are talking about European paganism exclusively, that is much more difficult, as the persecution of pagans there was much more thorough. I know far more about the Polynesian paganism of my father's side of the family than about the Scandinavian paganism of my mother's side. They really arent that different, though. You get some folk lore, learn your place beside your ancestors, and read a bunch of old poetry or have it sang to you.

It's a work put together from other Edda's, skaldic poetry, and other original sources, leaning much on the work of Viktor Rydberg, who did a lot of academic footwork in the 1800s to see connections between regional stories and histories and put together a more coherent picture of why we're presented with the beliefs the way we are today.

Sources like Snorri Sturlesson are slightly used obviously but it's understood that he was writing for Christians and his incongruous versions of stories are discarded in favor of earlier sources and versions of the stories

The Norroena Society explains how they chose and used their sources, and there's a full bibliography if you're interested

European paganism will never die until the people die. Christians like to imagine that paganism is just a differ form of Christianity when in reality it's a completely different mindset.

It's not a religion that gets "practiced" like the neopagans do and it's not defined by a set of dogmas or beliefs.

No, this is common to christian esotericism, mysticism and the more "elite" mode of worship.

Been pagan most of my life and I can say that Wiccans are THE worst thing ever. Most of the ones I know are fat, hairy broads who are really into LARPing.

Wicca was founded on the principle of being a reaction to Muh Patriarchy male God domination and so Feminists and SocJus cucks flock to it.

I accept that in some strange way they are pagan but as a friend of mine once termed them they are 'playgans' kids who watched The Craft or Charmed and decided that shit looked cool. Rather than honoring one's ancestors and the Gods of our forebearers.

I'll keep my faith separate from everything I do. It's for me and me alone.

Exactly. Church is just a parasite feeding on the west. When the west will die church will just switch to different host.

>>73279148
Whatever works for you, man. I was raised with a folk tradition from the old country, and we never had any need for a "complete tradition". Thats the kind of post-Christian thinking that there is little reason to believe existed. Folks honor their ancestors, have some intuitions about their place in the world, fear and respect natural powers, and live their life until they die.

Anything more complicated than that probably cannot lay any honest claim to heritage. Ive yet to meet somebody claiming to be "asatru" who wasnt almost entirely full of shit. I just have to laugh at them. My great grandfather would have thought they were soft men playing make believe.

why are Americans the first to pick up on the most tenuous ethnic links/background and blow it out of proportion into some kind of fairground exhibit? Its debased as fuck and makes you all look like desperate try hards who have no culture or personality of your own. You are always the first to make bullshit claims like 'loads of people in Cornwall speak cornish regularly' or 'when I visited Wales everyone spoke welsh to one another and not English'. I don't fucking get it lol.

Depends on whom you ask. For me it's about a personal relationship with the Gods. I keep my method simple, nothing grandiose or overly complicated since the majority of pagans were poor country folk.

You aren't required to follow any set of rituals. Unlike the Wiccans who draw their rites almost exclusively from the teachings of The Golden Dawn, that being where Gerald Gardner (the man who founded wicca) learned it. If you're ever curious, look into the GD. Their method was highly ritualized though more focused on the Jewish God and the Egyptian gods. There are a few surviving groups that sprung out of the GD - the OTO (ordo templi orientis), the thelemites (Crowley's attempt at a religion), and the OTA (Ordo Templi Astarte, who focuses more on the Phoencian Gods).

It's the ones who just keep on keepin' on as they say. Pagans come in many shapes and sizes, though most are loathe to admit it for fear of being ostracized. Not like in a paranoid "OY VEY ITS ANUDDA SALEM" but in more of being ostracized by people. Treated like typhoid mary. "That kids a devil worshiper" Shit like that.

When the history's been put through the shredder, you collect what you can

I don't treat the Edda as a bible, and they didn't intend for it to be one. I don't try to make up pretentious rituals or anything, but it's a solid introduction to the worldview.

Honestly I agree with you, and paganism as a tradition today is more of a ghost than anything, but it's the closest I'll get to what my ancestors believed for thousands of years before Christianity

>his mother is from Sweden and his father is Kanaka Maoli, what a fucking poser, he doesnt have any connection to his past through his immediate relations

This is why everybody calls you a cuck, Nigel. You have entirely forgotten your ancestors, even your immediate ones. You have shit on everything you have inherited, discarded your history, and are otherwise so entirely divorced from the past and from yourself that even a direct connection with somebody's mother and father is considered "tenuous".

I dont know what say, Nigel. I look at you and I just cant comprehend how a person can become so empty. Must be the weather, eh?

Nah, to be fair he had a point. I love my language to bits, but we should stay in English while on this Sudanese Stamp collector forum.

You may lack an identity sir, but I do not. Perhaps if you spent more time with your family it wouldnt be an issue for you.

Not likely. Marxism was rooted in atheism since Marx himself was an atheist. As I understand it, the intention was for the government run by 'the people' to become the god-parent for the masses.

That's not to say that drum-circle dread lock wearing leftist hippie faggots don't infest Paganism. Their being either the children of hippies or want to be hippies themselves. I've seen some real degenerate behavior coming from self-professed pagans and it sickens me. Screaming about weed and 'free love' as if it's still the god damn 60s.

Rome got rekt because of pagan fucking savages that wouldn't integrate just like the muslims invaders today. Too much snownigger immigration destroyed them like the muslim immigration will destroy us.

>>73279912
Most the western world has an identity problem but people in Britain don't really stress their ancient heritage or have anglo-saxon scrolls/swords or viking hammers hanging everywhere. Even China which had decades of systemaitcally destroying its culture now doesn't even give much of a fuck apart from rich collectors buying chinese antiquities. I dunno its weird havign pretty much all of my american friends over the years and in uni be so obsessed with heritage and bring it up when most brits never even mention it or might say which town their parents came from.
>>
>>73280204
Rome got rekt because of constant civil war and an unstable political system. Also the idea of calling their enemies pagan fucking savages is ironic. You're aware that Rome was originally pagan as well right? Or that many of those Germanic peoples had converted to Christianity, albeit sometimes heterodox Christianity such as Arianism?

More like a lack of indiviual cultural identity. We are, as it has been so often said, a melting pot. Many kinds of people have moved here, integrated, and melded into what it means to be American.

Britain is only now getting an solid grasp on what it means to have more than one culture and it's killing them. The same with Germany and other European countries. I feel sorry for them to be honest. I loved visiting England and Scotland. It felt like, home.

Not likely, given that my father is dead, and in any case was not European.

Your problem is that you cannot imagine somebody having a healthy sense of who they are without them also being irritating, anachronistic assholes about it. That says a lot more about your own weak sense of self than anything else. I am really sorry you find the fulfillment of others so angering.

That's unlikely, considering that according to the screenshot you quoted, you can draw a parallel between monotheism and globalism. Which is what the Marxists are trying to achieve.

Future Marxists are going to use Islam. Screenshot this.

They'll apologize for Islam but as I said, Marxist philosophy was rooted in atheism. If anything they'd be forced to convert to Islam or die. That's really about it.

The problem with Americans is that we really don't have a shared ancestral identity. Whites here are from all over Europe. Our history as Americans is a couple hundred years old at best.
So those of us with recent ties to Europe (immediate family immigrated) or a strong bloodline from a particular nation (for example, my genealogy is entirely Scots-Irish) will tie our identity off to that, because the American identity has been so diluted and eroded by the left.
It's also why some of us identify so strongly with our state. Our nation has destroyed its own identity, so we look for something else.

I was raised Protestant by my parents but ended up been sent to a Catholic school and got taught about Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, quickly I became agnostic and finally a few years later an Atheist.

However the years went by after school and I found myself question many things, looking for answers that science could not give me, at least not yet. Finally I slowly came around to the idea there must be an Alpha/Omega Conceptual being. The only issue I had was what does it want so I turned to look for evidance in the world I looked for societies that had prospered surly a being such as "God" would help those whom help themselves? In the end I never figured out the mystery of faith so instead now I simply live as well as I can according to the cultures that built a better world from the barbarism it was in.

So now I still pray, recite the lords prayer and so on, I try my best to follow what I was taught as a boy but I try to do it low key. Im firm in the belief that a truly pious man is huble, I will act without revealing myself, I will act according to what I believe God has shown me is just, Do not seek praise, do not seek reward, The Lord our God shall give you what you have earned when you time comes, be it good or bad.
