ᛉ Sagnamaðr Stark ᛉ mashhur postlari

Pagans should keep some extra Eddas on hand to proselytize more effectively.
Been thinking, when I was doing my Jól shopping, it struck me how hard it was to find an Edda and even Iliad locally, I had to dig through a mountain of sanitized versions of the Gita and Sutras, and even books on Wicca and demons.
Currently, Catholicism and Protestantism are in sharp decline among Europeans, and paganism is on the rise. Making our holy texts more accessible will aid this.

When the Ottomans captured Otranto, Italy, survivors were given the choice of conversion to Islam or death, a situation similar to what many of our ancestors faced. Many chose death, but many converted to survive, and as soon as the city was recaptured, returned to Catholicism (I wonder if Islam now counts as “the faith of their forefathers” by their own logic).
Pagans are effectively doing the same, but on a much larger scale.

Mongolian shamans carry sets of miniature weapons, made of iron or copper, used to defend against attackers of the spiritual plane, such as evil spirits and witchcraft, with different weapons for attacking at different ranges. The amulet rings and miniature weapons found across the Germanic world may have been used for similar purposes.
Mongolian sets contain nine miniature weapons, and several surviving Viking Age amulet rings have nine objects.

“It can scarcely be doubted that (Wuotan) is immediately derived from the verb OHG watan, wuot, but not identical with Latin vadere. From watan comes the subst. wuot (our wuth, fury), as animus properly means ingenium, and then also impetuousity, wildness; the ON óðr has kept to the meaning. According to this, Wuotan, Óðinn would be the all-powerful, all-penetrating being, qui omnia permeat, as Lucan says of Jupiter.”
~Jacob Grimm, Teutonic Mythology

How the Vikings were depicted in the Passio Sancto Edmundi, painted shortly after the Viking Age in 1130AD.
They wear colourful tunics and pointed caps (or painted helmets?), and some have knotted sashes rather than belts.
Interestingly, several are depicted barefoot; Irish kerns often fought barefoot, as footwear would quickly become waterlogged in the many rivers and marshy terrain.
You can see the pattern welding in the blades of their swords and axes, along with possible inlays.
One of their ships has a raven figurehead, others have what could be wolves; very Odinic.
