[Rules] [What is Asatru?] [Archive] [Themes] [Email] [/fringe/]

 No.5658

I am interested in all european pagan religions, but every new thread i see lately is about a non Germanic one, there are probably other places for that.

Theres a slavic one on the front page, a Hindu one on the second. There are also lots of board promotions, one even being for Islam something all of us probably want destroyed.

I am even more annoyed that there have been two celtic ones within a small period, you aren't going to hear different opinions nor find links to new sources.

Another thing that should be kept to a minimum is people asking if asatru is right for them, as in genetically.

Can we get back to germanic lore please.

For fuck's sake yes. Go make your own damn board. Call it >>>paganry or something and all the Celtbros and Slavs and Hindus can go over there AND DO YOUR OWN FUCKING RESEARCH SERIOUSLY DON'T YOU HAVE A BROWSER

>makes s board related to paganism

>wonders why there are celtic and slavic pagans

>"MUH VIKINGS MUH GERMANICS MUH RICH FOLKLORE"

You cunts know paganism isn't just germanic, right?

>board's name is Asatru

>title is Asatru/Heathenry/Paganism

>In descending order

>QED Asatru and Heathenry are most relevant, general Paganry least

There are already Slav and Celt threads in the catalog holy shit you might have to do some digging, we don't need 50 new ones clogging things up.

there had been already discussions about whether this board should be solely germanic/nordic paganism or not and even though most had agreed with was good for all european pagans, there was a small attempt at a broader board, which failed to take off. since then the board changed the title to include heathenry and paganism and there have been some threads about other european religions and I think that's important since there's a lot of common ground and objectives. also due to the difficulty of finding more about the ancient religions it is important (and also pretty interesting imo) to have some dialogue and research between the various indo-european cults

and then there's the board size/activity. honestly I don't think we'll go far ahead with any of these points with an OP who goes around the board named as Urban_Viking, but whatever

Don't get pretentious and judge me by my Gaming name (That i made when i was like 14 and not a heathen), at least i have a name unlike the army of Anon's out there.

I don't come here to see threads about slavic paganism, which don't really say anything anyway. That whole thread got easily derailed. Probably because none of us here know anything about slavic religion you would probably have to speak a slavic language to understand anything. Both celtic and slavic paganism are even more a pain in the ass than germanic to find sources for and to understand. So none but the people who want to continue those specific traditions would be bothered enough to find any information and if those people cant just fucking google something and have to ask Asatruar about their own religion then… wtf.

/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

The title has always been like that. Implied from the start is that any European pre-christian tradition is fair game. If anything /asatru/ is a misnomer.

And once again, there are already threads on the board for Slavs and Celts. Each of these threads already has info in them. Celts and Slavs, do your own research.

I also agree that we need to get rid of muh genetics threads. We either need an "Is Asatru Right For Me?" Post in the sticky or a general thread.


 No.5681

stop being so butthurt that it's not only you that are allowed to post on this board. slavic and celtic pagans are far lower in numbers, so a board dedicated to either would be far too small. anyway, you want to split up the pagan community more?

We could just do containment threads for each of them.

Celtic reconstructionist noob here, i support this idea. In the same way our religions are ours and shouldnt be mixed because of mutual respect and respect to ourselfs and our ancestors, I also support common cooperation for a common goal; we now live in a different world, we are aware of our differences within our common heritage. Contaiment boards seem the best option: we increase the board traffic, and at the same time we keep our shit together but not mixed.

I will gladly engage in the conversations and discussions, since i want to learn and im sure different points of views can enrich our knowledge and opinions.

agreed , we shouldn't make separate boards. Asatru is small as it is. Just have containment boards for the other European pagans. Win win situation.

Speaking of Romans, how come I dont see any Roman Pagans on /asatru/? Is it too barbaric for them?


 No.5736

the french usually go for celtic paganism, as do the spanish. the portuguese dont bother with it at all. and the italians speak shit english and are not often seen on the english speaking internet. also romanians are too poor to bother with this stuff.

Even thought we latin speaking people have a lot of respect for our roman heritage, our older heritages also drag a lot of attention, but its not the same. You must note that Rome was just one city, even the rest of the Italic Peninsula was at war with the city at some point, seriously. The only people who would bother to practise Roman paganism are Romans themselves and maybe some italians, but for example, in the South of Italy, there was the Greeks, in the North, the Etruscans, and the depper you go into the Alps, the more Celt and Germanic it becomes.

Also, the Romans didnt really imposed their religious beliefs in the way christians did, since indoeuropean politheistic religions, were most of the times really receptive to new deities and practices, sincretism was fairly common; the more Gods, the better, the question was to gather favours. For example, in Gallaecia we know a lot of roles of local gods because during the roman times, the name of the local god and the roman were putted together, in a sincretist way of praising all the possibilities. The real abolition of our ancestral cults came with Christianity, not before.

I have nothing at all against Slavs, Celts, Hellenics, etc but "Asatru" is explicitly Germanic, it directly refers to following one of the two pantheons of Germanic gods. It's not actually my favourite term, given it (not really, but kind of) implying an overlooking of the Vanir, but it means what it means.

Supposedly Furnsiduz is the proto-Germanic equivalent of the Old English Fyrnsidu or the Norse Forn Sithr, both meaning "old ways/old traditions", and as such is a very all-encompassing term for Germanic polytheism. "Asatru" works, but I would like to see a better term.
