The more I have come to value the unique nature of my own, European-descended people, the more I have come to appreciate other peoples and cultures. While this appreciation comes to some extent from the things we share as part of our common humanity, this is not the whole story. Indeed, it is our differences that I value more than our similarities. Differences are good, and ought to be respected and preserved. Blending human cultures into a miso-mash of "diversity" destroys the flavor, the unique quality of all of them.

Today on June 8, in 793 Lindisfarne church was raided

The small destroyed menhirs were estimated to date back from 5480 to 5320 BCE, the oldest dating obtained for a menhir in western France according to Christian Obeltz, a researcher on Neolithic populations, correspondent for the DRAC and collaborator of the National Centre for Scientific Research in Nantes.

He expresses his regret at the disappearance of such a site that could have been rich in teachings if more in-depth excavations had been carried out. He notes that one of the rows of standing stones had been "exactly in its original place for seven thousand years."

The town hall, regretting the destruction, claims that a rigorous examination of the project was carried out before the building permit was issued. It passes the buck to the DRAC, which had identified the site as a prescription zone in the old land use plan, but no longer in the new local urban plan not listed among archaeological presumption zones. 🤡

Donarkeule and Thor’s hammer pendants

Perhaps the existence of 'gods of the pouch', (small scale statuettes), which were not known in the Early and Middle Viking Age, is a special phenomenon that emerged with the decline of paganism and the beginning of Christian supremacy. These amulets probably belonged to people who were forced into conversion or were only 'partly baptised'.

Slavic male (?) headbands

Some will always attack something popular. Often they’ll throw some short, memorable insults, mostly in meme format. Today we will examine one such case.

Since various decorated headbands are popular among modern Pagans there are those who go against this. Female ones are supposedly fine, but there is an argument against male headbands. They say that hippie movement is the real origin of this accessory.

Conversion was superficial at best. There were Pagan priests, shrines and rituals all over the countryside (hence the term pagan itself). Ethnography confirms the complete lack of christian belief outside (sometimes even inside) the cities in Europe as late as 19th c.

Old Pagan propaganda from Russia. Sadly by now putin has successfully destroyed most of real right opposition (most of whom were Pagans (naturally)).

Black Grave kurgan owner reconstruction

Despite claims of miraculous origins, carbon dating results from 1988 indicated that the Shroud of Turin was forged between 1260 and 1390, contradicting the notion that it dates back to the time of Jesus, which is further substantiated by the absence of any historical record of its existence prior to the 14th century.

Seven christians and one Pagan

Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, “I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.
Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them, got the better of them, and so violently overpowered all of them that they fled out of the house naked and bruised.
