Why am I pointing this out? Well, because this relates to my recent posts about intermarriage. Obviously, blood matters, even in modern times to many indigenous people. This means that the modern Native American tribes cannot possibly have a positive view of intermarriage, because that would contradict the fact that to them the purity of blood is very important. How can they be OK with intermarriage, and at the same time have these membership blood quantum laws? It’s either one, or the other, cannot be both at the same time. Because as soon as modern Native American tribes start allowing intermarriage, within a few generations, their unique, indigenous culture will be very much diluted.

And I am assuming even 50 years ago, these membership blood requirements were a lot more stricter than today.

This very famous TV series “Sex and the City” show how a Jewish man Harry started dating white American woman name Charlotte. He tells her he cannot get serious with her, because she is not Jewish. He can not marry her, because she was not Jewish. In the show she ends up converting to Judaism in order to marry this Jewish man

These are their reasons for why they are against intermarriage. They are pointing out why it’s bad for them. Well if it’s bad for them, it’s bad for everyone else as well

I don’t usually ever listen to this guy’s show, and what he says here about us all being created by the same god is BS. All separate ethnic groups have their own native gods, but I’m focusing my attention on the fact that this African American woman is speaking against the Black Lives Matter movement. She got a lot of hate from her own race, because she refused to get in line behind other African Americans who support Black Lives Matter. People of her own race attacked her on social media, because she thinks for herself, and acknowledges the truth. Sometimes, you have to go against the grain, and stand on your own against the many.

Says his wife used witchcraft to find herself a husband (him) and now they are living the dream together on rural land in Russia on one of those Anastasia communities.

I know that the Russian Anastasia movement may not be exactly identical to the pre-Christian, pagan, Slavic way, but at least they do acknowledge the pre-Christian, pagan Slavic tradition, heritage, and way of life, and try to live according to it. At least they live their lives in harmony with organic nature, minimize their use of technology, and live as self sufficiently as possible.

I cannot judge these Anastasia people, because I have not yet read the series of books “The Ringing Cedars”. I cannot judge something based on the opinions & words of others.

Before I can judge anyone, or anything, or come to any conclusion, I have to first read their work, and become familiar with it.

I listened to an interview of one of the families who lives on one of the Russian kin-domain Anastasia settlements, and they sounded as if they seem to mix new age teachings with pre-Christian pagan Slavic tradition.

Another family that lived in a different Anastasia village seemed to acknowledge the Slavic pagan gods & goddesses, but they also kept saying the word “god”. So I was confused.

I suppose after centuries of Christian brainwashing, it’s difficult for some Russian adults to transition from Christianity/Russian Orthodoxy to Slavic paganism. So while they’re going through this process, for a while they may be bringing up this father god, until they fully separate from Christianity.

It’s either this, or, the old, pre-Christian pagan Slavs did have a pantheon of many gods & goddesses, but there was a main father god, or sky father god. I just don’t know for sure.

Kind of like Gnostics who believe in many gods & goddesses they call Aeons, but claim that these lesser gods emanated from one main supreme god. However, Gnostics were definitely very different from pagan Slavs, because Gnostics viewed earth, and the material reality in general as something very negative, as a prison that traps spirit. Pagan Slavs did not have this negative view of material world. Pagan Slavs saw the earth and nature as divine & sacred.

I just can’t find any source that clearly describes exactly what the pagan Slavs believed. All we have are bits and pieces of information.

So whether there was some sort of spiritual hierarchy of gods and goddesses in Russian/Slavic pagan pantheon, one thing for sure is that they definitely did believe in many gods and goddesses.

I want to point out that Tolkien’s creation myth also describes how gods and goddesses emanated from one supreme being/god.

And I’m not pushing monotheism here. No way would I do that. I’m actually always speaking against it. I’m just trying to understand the pre-Christian beliefs of pagan Russian Slavs

One of the books is called “The Ringing Cedars of Russia”, and this very name refers to an ancient, pagan Slavic shamanic practice. It involved a special Slavic volkhv who knew how to tune into the vibrations of Cedar trees, and listen to it, and then translate the message to the people. They took guidance from the trees. This shamanic practice was practiced in many indigenous cultures. Back then the people were aligned with earth’s consciousness, and the intelligence & consciousness of nature, trees, plants, animals.

Here is Tolkien’s creation myth describing the creation of gods & the world. In the beginning, there was Eru Ilúvatar, and he was all. Eru Ilúvatar was the supreme being who created gods and goddesses through his thoughts, and together they sang the world into existence. While they were singing, a dissonance had entered the song. This was Melkor’s doing.

Now, different people try to interpret Tolkien’s creation myth to make it fit within their own worldview. The Christians try to make it fit into the Christian worldview. Gnostics try to make it fit into Gnostics worldview. Zoroastrians try to make it fit into their worldview. I don’t think it’s any of them.

I want to point out that there are parallels between all three of them. Gnosticism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism all have similarities.

I suppose this could mean many things. One possibility is that Tolkien was influenced by his Christian/Catholic upbringing, which to some degree may have influenced his writing. Another possibility is that someone deliberately tampered with Tolkien’s work to make it sound Christian. Or, maybe his work only seems to have parallels with Christian mythology, but in reality, it has nothing to do with Christianity, and is a thing of its own.

Another “sex and the city” episode in which a white American female Samantha is dating an African-American who’s sister has a problem with Samantha dating her African-American brother. The reason why she doesn’t want Samantha dating her brother is because she, Samantha, is white, and her brother is black. No one screamed racist after this
