Scandinavian folktale.
The story of Svipdagr comes from two Norse poems Grógaldr and Fjölsvinnsmál and, when combined, falls under the title Svipdagsmál. The first poem talks of the hero Svipdagr, son of Sólbjartr and Gróa. who is given the task by his cruel stepmother, to venture forth and seek the maiden Menglöð - his fated bride. 'Tis a seemingly impossible task, for Menglöð is trapped within the walls of fire and clay of Gastropnir: a rich hall made from the limbs of Leirbrimir, guarded by the jötunn Fjölsviðr and his two hounds Gifr and Geri.
Svipdagr would need help for this treacherous task. He raised his mother Gróa from the dead, casting nine spells for him before returning to her grave. Svipdagr would thence travel far and wide, eventually arriving at the gates of the Great Hall. Upon his arrival, there he saw standing before the giant gates, a jötunn, who went by the name Fjölsviðr. The giant refuses entry to Svipdagr, dissuading him with customary threats. Fjölsviðr was, however, curious to uncover the identity and kindred of this new arrival, to which Svipdagr, concealing his real name, tells the giant he is Vindkaldr, grandson of Fjölkaldr. It's believed he did this to convince Fjölsviðr he
Meanwhile, many questions remain unanswered: eighteen questions in total. Questions concerning the Great Hall in which Menglöð resides ; it's inhabitants and environment therein. Svipdagr questions the giant, who answers dutifully. He learns from the giant the gates will only open to the one destined to be with her. Svipdagr, realising it's him, reveals his true identity to the giant, allowing Svipdagr to pass through the gates.
Menglöð rises to greet Svipdagr, elated over his long-awaited return.
It is written Menglöð has nine handmaidens called Hlíf, Hlífþrasa, Þjóðvarta, Björt, Blíð, Blíðr, Fríð, Eir, and Aurboða.

I reject the idea that things MUST get worse before they get better. Now, I'm certain things WILL get worse before they get better, but things getting worse does not constitute a step in the right direction. Only productive action on our part will make things get better.

In Nordic Polytheism Skaði (sometimes anglicized as Skadi, Skade, or Skathi) is a jötunn and goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. Skaði is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the Prose Edda and in Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in the works of skalds. In all sources, Skaði is the daughter of the deceased Þjazi, and Skaði married the god Njörðr as part of the compensation provided by the gods for killing her father Þjazi. In Heimskringla, Skaði is described as having split up with Njörðr and as later having married the god Odin, and that the two produced many children together. In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Skaði is responsible for placing the serpent that drips venom onto the bound Loki. Skaði is alternately referred to as Öndurguð (Old Norse "ski god") and Öndurdís (Old Norse "ski dís", often translated as "lady").

“Animism is the way humanity has been deeply connected to the land and its seasonal cycles for millennia, in rapport and conversation with the animals, plants, elements, ancestors and earth spirits. The opposite of animism is the “cult of the individual” so celebrated in modern society, and the loss of the animist worldview is at the root of our spiritual disconnect and looming ecological crisis. Human beings are just one strand woven into the complex systems of Earth Community, and the animistic perspective is fundamental to the paradigm shift, and the recovery of our own ancestral wisdom.”

Lately I'm honestly fed up with a lot of things. I'm to the point that if Paganism, or Heathenism, or whatever anyone wants to call it, is what some people seem to be claiming it is, then I'm not that, I'm something else. I feel like it's not even worth the time trying to discuss it.

95 year old German grandmother Ursula Haverbeck may have to serve a 2 year prison sentence in a judicial hospital. Her crime is having an opinion that certain (((people))) have deemed illegal to have. The (((system))) has been harassing her for 20 years. They probably feel good about depriving an old woman of her remaining years. Hail Ursula, the bravest old woman in the world.

The propaganda that you will hear from the platonists is that "platonism is necessary to form a metaphysical argument against abrahamism." Not only did that fail abysmally in antiquity, but platonism and christianity teamed up multiple times to attack and undermine traditional Pagan faiths.
Not only this, but they have pretty much the exact same philosophical and metaphysical arguments. In essence, it is platonism versus platonism.
The christians in antiquity viewed plato and his mission as a noble one in their eyes, because both the christians and the platonists were out to destroy traditional Pagan faiths. One at the behest of the jew "god", the other at the behest of plato avenging the condemned heretic socrates. This is why it cannot be allowed within our sphere. It is only there to subvert traditional belief and to rewrite the legends just as Plato wished. If you doubt my words, read the beginning passage of book 3 of Plato's Republic. In fact here's an audio book version:

The christians & philosophers of late antiquity knew that plato was not only against traditional Pagan belief, but they preached the doctrine of one god: the one, the good, the alone, the divine darkness.
Middle platonism fused with early judeo-christianity to form gnosticism using the concepts of the demiurge, Sofia and one god in plato's timaeus.
It is almost certain that plotinus went to the same platonic academy as the christian theologian origin. Hypatia, a platonic philosopher, taught many christians in her time, before being murdered by them.
Take the nag hamadi library, an ancient christian library, where they preserved the works of plato, including the most complete and most well preserved copy of book 6 of plato's republic ever found.
If platonism was "the paragon of Pagan thought", and we know christianity was vehemently against Pagan thought, why was it preserved by judeo-christians? Why did they easily incorporate platonism into their theology? Why did they team up together multiple times?

The above two posts are an interesting dichotomy of worldviews.
The original post ( here https://t.me/TheSacredStew/429 ) tries to make a rhetorical point by stating, "
"Why would a Christian missionary try to persuade the Germanic people that their Gods aren't omnipotent, beneficent, and just unless they really did hold these beliefs?"
The answer is not as complicated as Einheri attempts to make it. Quite simply, the Christians try to convince heathens that their God (Christian god) was greater because (as Christians claim) the Christian God is Omnipotent (a concept which is antithetical to a true polytheistic belief see post shared below).
A literal reading of germanic mythology would never lead one to assume the gods were/are omnipotent, in-fact it is quite the opposite. One can look at the mythology of the High One (Odin), who is always in search of knowledge.
@PaganRevivalism aptly points out in his reply to the first post. The first quoted text specifically implies that germanic folk believed in and understood their stories and gods literally.
It has always been true that germanics have firmly understood they are descended from their gods, this letter shared by Einheri quite literally proves the point that this is the case. Pope Boniface knew it was futile to try to convince germanic folk about their genealogy, perhaps these modern Platonists would take heed to his advice and stop trying to convince our folk that we are not descended directly from our gods.

Concerning the christian concept of an omniscient and omnipotent God.
It is impossible for a singular God to be omniscient and at the same time not to make his message and will clear to all. What I mean by this is, christians are made up by thousands of unique denominations, each claiming to interpret the "message" of "God" in their unique way. If the concept of God, as perceived by the Christians is true, and if God really wanted to "save the souls of his children" he would make his message very clear to all with no room for various interpretations. God can not be omniscient and at the same time make this alleged "message" not clear enough so that people would understand the message all the same.
Christians will argue that this is all by design to give people free will to choose, but naturally this implies God created something imperfect and that his "message" was imperfect since the message is not obvious and literally understood the same for all people. This can only mean that this christian "God" is fallible and not omniscient nor omnipotent as they claim.
