This is old, it’s dated 2014, but not much has changed since then. Most intermarriages between Jews & Non-Jews happen in US, and probably close to none in Israel.

As far I’m aware, majority of today’s American Jews have more liberal theological & political view. In Israel the situation is very different, because Israeli Jews are a lot more conservative than those living in US.

Intermarriage between Jew & non-Jew in Israel is simply not done. If a person has Jewish father and non-Jewish mother, in Israel they don’t even consider you a real Jew, because it’s passed-through the mother.

Actually Israeli Jewish public figures are very open about how much they despise intermarriage between Jews & non-Jews. Funny how the very same people are obsessed about mixing all other nations, but wish to remain ethnically pure themselves.

How is that fair? And how is this being done during daylight with no resistance from any other nations, religions, ethnicities, cultures, etc...?

This makes me think of that psychopath Barbara what’s her face who publicly called for European ethnic genocide, saying Europeans are going into multicultural mode.

Ok, so the Jewish nation demands that Europeans start mixing with other nations, races, cultures, meanwhile the Jews work hard to keep their own people ethically pure
Here they are not afraid to speak their mind and tell the world how they feel about allowing foreigners to join their ethnic group, and their faith which goes together. Just like the ethnic, native Folk pagan spiritual heritage when together with ethnic Europeans before Christianity
Поганые язычники / Статьи / Newslab.Ru

This is written in Russian. It’s basically saying that the Russian word pagan язычник/yazychnik comes from Greek ethnikos “national, pagan” from ethnos - “the people, tongue/language”.

The way to say language/tongue in Russian is язык/yazyk and the Russian word for pagan is язычник/yazychnik. So this article say that if Christians worship Christ & Buddhists worship Buddha, does this then mean that Russian word for pagan which sounds exactly like Russian word for language/tongue means they were a Cult of language/tongue? But which tongue?

The article say that the modern Russian word for paganism came with Christianity. In Slavic-biblical language they use to call “Inoverts/Иноверцы” (people of another faith, people of a different faith) the same word a Russians call pagans today язычник/yazychnik.

Latin word for villager/country dweller & followers of pantheistic faith was paganus from pagus - district, region. From where the Russian negative swear words «погань/pogan» and «поганый/poganyy» meaning trash or bad come from. These words are still used in modern Russia and still have that same negative meaning
I was born mid March. It’s a magical month of spring. It is a time of cyclical resurrection of life, life in nature. When all the living things are waking up from a deep winter sleep, and coming back to green, no longer dormant, but active & alive. Much has been deliberately hidden from us about our ethnic, European pagan ancestors, but the small traces of what remains give us some ideas of how various European pagan ethnic groups celebrated the time of spring equinox. We know of Germanic goddess of dawn Ostara celebrated in March 21. Later on when Christianity took over, church turned Ostara celebrations to Easter. Of course the church greatly distorted the meaning behind this holiday and attached this pagan nature holiday to their Christian ideology. In Russia it’s even more difficult to find authentic information on indigenous pagan Slavic tribes. Church together with the Romanovs, and then later the bolsheviks did a very good, thorough cleaning up of anything that was connected to pre-Christian Slavs
In Russia the name for the month of March is foreign. This article says Slavic ancestors called month March “сухый” - dry and back then March was the first month of the year. The modern place of month March within the calendar was changed in 1700.

It says that Easter Slavs had a celebration at the end of winter in tribute to God Veles. March 13th celebration was changed by the church from Veles to Saint Vasili who just happened to have similar attributes to pagan Slavic god Veles. They even gave this Saint Vasili a nick name “Kapelnik” - dropper because of all of the winter Ice & snow melting and everywhere you can hear the sound of water drops.

This article goes on to give more information on old Slavic pagan March traditions & celebrations, but unfortunately it’s in Russian
Some more research on “end of winter” celebrations
Another end of winter celebration based on old pagan Slavic tradition is Maslinitsa from February 24 to March 1


Maslinitsa is one of the Slavic pagan celebrations that was incorporated into Christianity/Russian orthodox religion. Most Russian people know that this is a pagan celebration from slavic folk tradition. It involved the whole community, and gave an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate the end of winter, and return of warm season. That’s why it involves pancakes because that’s a representation of the sun, and also an effigy is usually burnt in a big bonfire and Russian people hold hands and dance in circle around the burning effigy

From what I’ve been able to gather, [and there are few examples] there seems to be an actual truly distinct Anglo-Saxon ethnic embroidery style, blending Germanic serpents with Celtic foliage, into a uniquely English native motif.
In contrast with commonly seen Celtic knotwork, which is highly ‘mathematical’ and regular in form, the Anglo-Saxon style takes on a more loose and impromptu form, with a unique usage of a wide color palette, contrasting sharply with the bicolor ’pixelated’ style of much of the Balto-Slavic race’s embroidery. Added to this, more detailed and depictive natural images take primacy. This dual aspect of this art mirrors the dual nature of the Anglo-Saxon himself: the cheery informality of the Celt and the reserved introspection of the German.

We see often in the pagan scene Slavic traditional dress for its continued usage and symbolism, to the neglect of our own racial motifs.
We can safely assume ethnic Anglo-Saxon symbology was outlawed soon into the Norman occupation, as it disappears then. We can fill that void.
