Not sure I'm that much misantrophic-
-but more focused on the enviroment and the law of nature.
Why should sick, fat, bald and
lesser humans thats not amongst the best of us have children?
The world is overpopulated.
Before the Church became as scummy as it is now,
Err, what do you mean?
The church has a history of mass-murdering, cruelty against human kind and book-burning.
Luckily we see more folkgroups taking back their customs, renaming their cities, rivers etc
of course they built their churches on the ancient wells and springs - they knew that the people of the land would object to worshipping in any other place. The whole idea of Christianity is to convert, not destroy, so they chose the path of least resistance.
It was done to erase the trace of pagan practice, thats a spiteful act.
The places was burnt down or destroyed, then on the ruins and foundations the churches were buildt.
Christianity was forced upon the germanic and skandinavian people like nazism; with lies, deceit and violence.
Both are sheepling-systems, like globalisation also is.
For the nordic people, the sickening disease called christianity, (which isn't even worthy to be called a religion. It's some sort of happiness-psychosis, similar to the state fat people lives in when enough people tells them they are thin..just to be "nice"
) started threatening their values and way of life was around year 700.
- In 780 Charlemagne (after waging war on them) decreed the death penalty for all Saxons who failed to be baptised, who failed to keep Christian festivals, and who cremated their dead.
- He returned in 782 to Saxony and instituted a fascist code of law. The laws were draconian on religious issues, and the indigenous forms of Germanic polytheism were gravely threatened by Christianisation.
- Same year, some Saxoons returned and led a new revolt, which resulted in several assaults on the church.
- In response, at Verden in Lower Saxony, Charlemagne ordered the beheading of 4,500 Saxons who had been caught practising their native paganism after their forced conversion to Christianity, known as the Massacre of Verden. They had lost the battle.
As Einhart wrote:
The war that had lasted so many years was at length ended by their acceding to the terms offered by the King; which were renunciation of their national religious customs and the worship of devils, acceptance of the sacraments of the Christian faith and religion, and union with the Franks to form one people.He had acquired a substantial collection of Germanic pre-Christian writings, which was destroyed.
-this would be the christian creed as we know it.
Skandinavia is now under threat.
This is when the vikingage* begins.
Vikings = Skandinavians (pagan at that time, like saxoons) attacking christians targets.
At first they had burnt down the churches in Norway,-
- and then attacked places where the missionaries had come from like Lindisfarne.
Naturally, because of Charlesmagne and that he had cut down Irminsul, many of the attacks was on France.
Eventually, after a lot of civil war,-
- christians managed to force the kings to declare respective Skandinavia as Christian.
The people never converted though.
To this day they still call Christmas for Yule f.x, and practice pagan customs and tradtions. IE only superficially christian.
Now, devil-worship never existed as described by christian historians, but was the pagans who kept practising their own religion.
This is the reason we see a lot of witch-processes happen during the middleages.
They banned practicly everything that could resemble paganism, they even had laws against hygiene
Saturday (Lauraday, washday in norse) was the last day of the week and Sunday the first.
This tells us how important personal and enviromental hygiene was to normal people (ie not christians) but the future generations wouldn't know exactly why before science became relevant again as the judeo-christians burnt all the books and the people with knowledge about these things.
The pagan priestesses already knew then that hygenie was very important as were nurses/doctors, administered childbirths etc.
I'm not gonna explain how and why the witch-processes was a methodic to convert people by the force of terror and tactics we see in totalarian regimes-
-but I can tell something about the worship of Freyr and Freyja.
Pagan priestiess married Friday (Freyjas/Freyrs day, loveday and the date is called Valborgsnight) 13.
That was their marriage day.
We also know Greeks impersonated the gods by using masks, In effect you become what you perform if equipped for it.
Only the most pretty, inteligent, noble, blonde and so on could be Freyja-priestesses-
-and they carefully selected the priest by physical and intelectual competitions (the olympic games is originally such) every 4th year.
As opposed to the bible, quality is all that mattered.
Their practice was to create and raise as good children as possible, and we know by Darwin that this eventually creates a new race.
A common theme in ancient mythology.
For those who wanna know about Satan, devils and witches for European concern it's simple:
- Freyr is a phallic fertility god(embodies lust/unconsious growth)/ Satan got personified with a big penis, themes of being posessed (all are) by satan etc.
- The devil limps as his one leg is an animal-leg/ The "shoe"/tale of V??arr.
- The cults could have up to 16 priestesses (so called covens) but only 1 priest, this is why mostly womens were executed as witches.
In short, witches, their devil and devil-worship is the perverted version of priestiesses, their god(s) and pagan culture/wisdom.
****************
Naturally when they married, they had sex and pagan rituals are traditionally at special places in nature.
So the Christians created a image of ugly witches, who would do harm where the pagans did good, that married and had sex with satan on whatever name they have on Friday the 13th on some scary mountain (As we know, Skandinavians goes up on the mountains in the spring to celebrate easter with sunsymbols and boxes, a pagan heritage) called bloksberg. This was one of the proofs used in court prove witchery, satan-pacts etc as this was illegal. Malleus Maleficarum (a book written by sexually frustrated catholic munks, the pagan women obviously wouldn't go near them, probably why they are so pathriarcial
) was often used as source to expose this crime. Childrens testimonies was also used as their no.1 function was infact creating babies. The local kings wouldn't forbid pagan practice, but "devil-worship" was simply a matter of catholic churchlaw.
This is just a _little_ of many correspondances.
- The mark of the devil = you could be marked by the gods as a sign you had pre-requisites for spiritual tasks. Many also scared themself in initation-rituals for this purpose.
- Sacrificing infants to satan = they rejected defect children.
- create storms/bad weather, do harm, black magic etc = the "upper class" of pagans often operated in diversity as helpers for agriculture, healers etc in the local areas similar to how priests (as we see them today) "bless" stuff.
- The places more men was executed for sorcery was places where male tasks as shamanism was traditionally common.
The list goes on...
Millions of noble women were murdered in Europe during the middleages.
The way to the fire was always _very_ short if you weren't 100% christian, or were in pagan societies.
Luckily, Norway is the only European country that never really was catholic when you read history,-
-so think about this when seing so much BM-enthusiasm from Norway.
A long time respective Norway and parts of Sweeden was amazingly celtic-christian merged with pagan/gnostic faith.
This is the reason the old churces (the ones "satanists" haven't burnt yet) are stave-churches.
Even under the catholic danes their missionaries wouldn't return home. Narrowminded hm.
The 6th of June (when a church in Norway in the 90's was lit up, then more followed) is the date of the attack on Lindisfarne.
I used to consider myself a pagan, but I sorta figured that it was all the same energy no matter which God/dess you spoke to. Like different facets on a crystal. :3 Mercury is with me today, though...definitely!
Paganism as I see it is science and descriptions of fundamental human relations, gods are ideals, symbols and metaphores.
As Freyja, the godess of love, is driven by two cats called cuddler and horny (in norwegian wordplay) and Freyr, the god of lust and fertility, has a sword he can throw around but will always come back to him (like seeds, sunrays etc) the pagan mythology we know (what the christians didn't manage to erase) is knowledge of constant forces in life.
What the societies created was their own practice buildt on this knowledge-
- not some fictional book.
I still respect humanitarian work done by neo-christians tho.
As scientist has been wrong, obviously pagans also were wrong in things-
f.x finding ways to cure illness, explain things etc.
But they defintly buildt a testament of true knowledge and values, which they still do
*
The vikingage is often used to create an identity-
-but all the things we know about the vikings was how skandinavians already lived and were thousands of years before this era!
The only remarkable thing here is mainly the pagan revolt against the force of christianity.
