/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

Pagans survived for a long time in rural areas and with peasants and we are not sure for how long. So there likely aren't famous people because if they became known and pagan they would probably be killed. Like how many witches were pagans and how many were just an excuse to get rid of a certain woman. Even when it was eradicated as people talking explicitly about it, early christianity had lots of pagan elements and the folklore of most countries have pagan roots and some of them last all up to today.

Famous? From 1200-1800? Not really, that's the period of maximum consolidation of Christian church power in Europe. Recorded history mostly lionizes the figures who were working to stamp out the ashes of native European spirituality during that period. The very latest of the runic alphabets (Medieval and Dalecarlian runes) were in use in Scandinavia in varying degrees during that period, as were many other folk practices inherited from the native heathen traditions, but you're unlikely to find any historical accounts of major figures during that time.

anon pls, what's the adversary of abrahamic faiths got to do with *heathenry*? Surely the goal is to restore what's ours, not adopt the worldview and pantheon of them
