2018-10-17 at 1:22 PM UTC in Localized Legendarium: Sophie's mythos focus thread.Mythology is a fascinating subject I love the stories, they're rich and epic and grants us a glimpse at religion before monotheism. I think it's interesting that before Christianity, Europe had a wide variety of polytheistic religions and belief-systems. The Celts had their own polytheistic religion as did the Germanic and Nordic peoples. The relationship between the Nordic and Germanic pantheons are a lot like the relationship between the ancient Greek and Roman ones.
Conventional wisdom would say that the Gods Odin and Thor and the Aesir and such were purely a Scandinavian belief-system related to the vikings. However, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Flanders, followed the same pantheon. When the proto-germanic peoples and language split off into proto-Norse and old Germanic, the language changed but the Gods didn't. For instance, Odin is called Wotan in the Germanic tongues, which includes Dutch. Since this is the localized legendarium i would like to talk about the ancient gods and peoples that believed in them in my neck of the woods. Interestingly enough us Dutch had a special Goddess that does not particularly occur in the Pantheon of my kinfolk, however, veneration of this Goddess became somewhat widespread through the regions around Holland and the North Sea. Originating from here, belief and worship traveled as far afield as regions in Germany, France and she may have also be worshipped in some parts of England.
Historically and traditionally the Dutch have always been interested in trade, especially by sea, due in large part because of our access to the North Sea not only at the coast but via the Rhine as well. As such I think that is one of the main reasons my ancestors had a need for a Sea Goddess. Her name as our archeological records indicate is: Nehalennia, which is a lovely name in my opinion, it sounds like it came from Latin but actually linguists have found the origins of the name to come from the Celtic and proto-Germanic words Nehwa, which means "close to" and halen for "sea", ne, "on, at". With the suffix "ja" to indicate a feminine noun. Thus, her name means "She who is at the sea". She is considered to be a type of mother Goddess, however her portfolio and spheres of influence include trade, travel, the sea, the cultivation and the conservation of plants, fertility, and sometimes even beauty.
Interestingly enough she seems to take traits from the more well-known Nordic/Germanic deities, Freyr, Freya, and Nerthus. Her character is most likely based on an amalgamation of those, but with a special affinity for the Sea and Trade.
Archeological research has found three great temples dedicated to her in what is currently the Dutch province of Zeeland. Less grand sanctuaries and shrines dedicated to her have been found all over the Eastern Scheldt, Rhine area and coastal regions.
She is usually depicted, accompanied by a ship, apples and a dog.
Occasionally she is also depicted with special loves of bread known as "Duivekater". Which is a sacrificial food. From what i understand Duivekater was considered a worthy offering and Nehalennia did not demand human or animal sacrifice.
Well i hope you found that interesting. If you did let me know, if you didn't, fair enough and let me know what you disliked. Also, if you are interested in Mythology, please tell me about your favorite Pantheon, God, or Goddesses. As an aside, i find Irish Mythology to be quite fascinating as well, and if you know a bit about it, i'd love to read your thoughts on it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Sudo Why does the Quran suck? A ton of it is retelling the old testament for unknown reasons.
The reason is that the Quran tries it god damned hardest to look like Judaism and a legitimate successor to the bible.
Originally posted by Sudo It's more overtly allegorical and extrapolates on the tales. It's also more dynamic that the bible with more firey imagery.
The worst thing about it (and monotheistic religions altogether) is how insecure the deity appears to be. So much in the Quran is about how bad it is to be a lapsed Muslim or how bad people who talk ill of God are. How their tongues will be burned out and they'll suffer 10,000 thunderbolts for going against God. How infidels are so terrible and everything like get over yourself ykno.
It's basically the old testament re-written for AY-RABS. The new testament has a lot less of what you are describing.
Originally posted by Sudo The Quran was written in the context of a war by a man who had conquered everywhere he had set foot in.
Merchants turned warlord make for shitty prophets.
Originally posted by Sudo It also needs to be remembered that it's been essentially unchanged and at best the prophet had a very cursory understanding of literacy.
Yeah, old Mo was an ill-iterate[sic] fucktard while the bible was written by scholarly people who had a fundamental understanding of the teachings they were trying to convey.
Originally posted by Sudo The bible was written collectively by dozens of people abridged and proofed over hundreds and hundreds of years and it's still mad contradictory. Many psalms are garbage and it goes into needless detail and things nobody gives a shit about. It involves taking ridiculous things completely seriously and basically tells you to believe in magic.
The old and new testament are a collection of hot takes by the various authors. Point being, i realize this but i can still find value in it's teachings. However muslims don't look at the Quran in the same way. Also, every religion asks you to believe in magic.
Originally posted by Sudo The Quran is an expansion in a way but it puts religion itself into context and emphasises on the spirit of monotheism and what to do about it in a societal context.
If it tries to run society government style, it's not a religion it's an ideology. I guess my biggest problem with the Quran is muslims. And what the fuck is up with the hadiths anyway?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-10-15 at 8:40 PM UTC in You know how Kebab has this sand nigger yell ALLAHU AHKBAR when it's time to pray?Well, i just realized that's the low tech sand nigger version of a church bell. Ever think about that?
Islam is shit. I'd much rather hear the beautiful, melodic sounds of church bells ringing than some fucking AY-RAB yell some shit. By the way, Islam is a fucking cult. Ever read the Quran? If you think the bible is silly, just wait until you get a load of that shit.
Honestly, i don't even think Islam should be considered an Abrahamic religion, it's teachings are so far removed from Christianity it's laughable.
Judaism is monotheistic beta version of religion.
Christianity is the dank vanilla release that everyone loves and remembers.
Islam is the shitty expansion pack that no one asked for.
And if we're not going to have Christianity, which we should, at least bring Nordic/Germanic paganism back goddammit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
