Nordic and Germanic paganism was the OG religion of the proto-Germanic and proto-Nordic peoples long before Christianity arrived on the scene. It is more ancient than Christianity and from what we know it was pretty legit. proto-Nordic/Germanic peoples are the ancestors of Scandinavians, Germans, Dutch, Frysians, Flemish, Saxons, Anglo-Saxons(e.g. The English and their descendants whether they like it or not) the Danes, The Finnish people, Icelandic peoples, and later the Kievan Rus, but to a lesser extent. However if we go further back in time, the people of the East of Europe, west of Europe, Central Europe and of course Nordic Europe all had the fundamentals of their spiritual and religious practices passed down to them from the first indo-European cultures.
Over time variations arose, but we have a pretty good idea of what it was all about due to the fact the old-Norse managed to hold on to this tradition the longest since they were Christianized much later. We have accounts of what they believed and about their way of life and their systems of ethics that have been passed down through works such as Havamal, and the Prose and Poetic Eddas.
If you read Havamal there is some great insight into what it was like. And i am of the opinion that the importance and impact of Paganism in the context i am describing it in is not to be discounted as barbaric, or anything of the sort.
Not that am saying the Christian worldview is bad, on the contrary, however paganism definitely has great historic value. And is much more nuanced than we have been led to believe. -

Damn, the first post of yours that has actually been of any interest in a long time until I got to the last two words of the second sentence. For a second I thought you were onto something.
Oh well...

How i feel about Christianity and Paganism does not discount the actual history and the sources. I was drawing from real data and not simply expressing my opinion until the last two sentences. -

Right? I feel like they could make a killing if they teamed up with girl scouts and had their own cookies. -

2022-03-12 at 6:31 PM UTCNobody asked me but I think I would call mine the Wren, because I'm uncreative and that was the first thing I thought of. It would be shapes like a bird 🐦 like me and have a big beak filled with macadamia nuts and the rest of it would be pure white chocolate that gives people headaches especially Oct
