It’s surprising that an article such as this one is published by the New York Times site. I guess the dark truth about Christianity is really going mainstream. The problem with this article is that they seem to only focus on desecration done to Greek and Roman pagan temples. They also mention Alexandrian pagan temple, and death of Hypatia, but didn’t discuss at all how Christianity was introduced to European and Slavic lands by sword and fire.

As a child growing up in Russia I was always fascinated by magical ice art on windows created by Mother Nature.
The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" appear to have something in common with a Scottish ballad titled "The Elfin Knight" (Child Ballad #2), collected by Francis James Child,[1] which has been traced as far back as 1670. In this ballad, an elf threatens to abduct a young woman to be his lover unless she can perform an impossible task ("For thou must shape a sark to me / Without any cut or heme, quoth he"); she responds with a list of tasks that he must first perform ("I have an aiker of good ley-land / Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand").
A little verse from a holy book on which the religion of peace and love was founded
Christianity the so-called religion of peace was created by this kind of mindset
I did not translate this video word by word. This is Alexander Pijikov, a professor, and Russian doctor of historical sciences. Alexander discusses an ancient, pagan, Russian/Slavic rite of passage meant specifically for females...

He talks about a special Slavic pagan rite of passage that worked as a solution for women who had problems getting pregnant. He points out that back in those days a lot less women experienced such problems, but nevertheless, these problems still existed...

This old pagan rite involved local Slavic female elder seer. In Slavic culture they were called “Volkhvitsa”

Female elder Volkhvitsa would gather a group of women consisting of women who already had many children, and the one woman who is experiencing problems getting pregnant, and all of them would head out into the depth of the forest.

The group of women went into the forest to look for specific trees. In this case it was the birch trees. When they targeted a tree, the women would circle it.

While holding hands, standing in circle around the tree, the women would begin singing specific words. They would start singing these words low, and repeat them louder and louder. They were singing in synchronized voice. This also had something to do with vibration, and communication with intelligence of the tree.

While this was going on, the female elder would turn backwards to the tree, and press her shoulder blades up to the tree. She was trying to pick up some sort of specific vibration/ frequency given off by the tree...

The female elder was listening for the sign. If Volkhvitsa didn’t pick up on the vibration she was looking for, she’d give a sign to the group of women that this tree is not the one. They would mark the tree, and go on looking for the next one.

They continued the search, until they found the right tree, which emanates the required frequency/vibration that the female elder was looking for.

Once the female elder picked up on that vibration, she would call out to the one woman who can’t get pregnant, to come and take her place, and place her back up to the tree while the rest of the women stood in circle around her and the tree, and chanting loud in synchronized voices. At which point the right of passage would be over, and everybody would go back to their homes...

The tree that was used for this rite was chopped down afterwards. It is said, that the reason for cutting down that one birch tree that was used for the ritual, was so that it doesn’t become an object of worship. This contradicts those who claim that our pagan ancestors were dumb enough to worship any tree-stump or rock...

Apparently, this was considered an effective method, and was practiced in many regions for hundreds of years... It was widespread.

Professor Alexander is trying to explain that this specific rite of passage does have a scientific justification, and is not based on some silly pagan superstition. He’s talking about the study of vibration... This is just one out of many examples showing that our ancestors were a lot more wiser, and knowledgeable than we give them credit...

He explains that those pagan women who we’re led to believe were some sort of ignorant superstitious villagers, were using scientific knowledge that today is known as the latest, most advanced science. Is this really a new science, or is it a re-discovery of a forgotten science? Was it forgotten naturally, or were we made to forget?

He points out that when the new Romanov rules together in alliance with Christian/Orthodox church came to power in pagan Russian, they began to fight against this native Slavic tradition of synchronized singing, singing with one voice...

Today they try to present it to us as if the Romanovs, and the church simply fought against this Slavic tradition, because they believed to be sloppy, ugly, embarrassing for the Russian nation. However, we know that this is only a coverup of the real reason why the Romanovs & Orthodox Church did away with this ancient tradition of synchronized singing.

There’s a science behind it. It wasn’t just pretty songs. They were trying to achieve some goal by doing this practice of synchronized singing, and the Romanovs together with the church forced the Slavic people to break up the sound, and to stop this old pagan way of synchronized singing. Obviously it had something to do with vibration/frequency.

The concept of singing trees, shamans listening to the vibration of trees was practiced by many indigenous cultures from Ireland to India.
