There’s nothing wrong with questioning parts of history. I think it’s actually necessary to re-examine official history.

This is written in Russian. My translation of this is not so great, but I believe it’s saying that the Russian word pagan is язычник/yazychnik, and that it came with Christianity. calque says it came from the Greek ethnikos “national, pagan” from ethnos - “the people, tongue/language”.
The Greeks had their own name for villager/country dweller & followers of pantheistic faith which 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 a negative meaning

Если христиане почитают Иисуса Христа, а буддисты – Будду, то значит ли это, что язычество – культ языка? Да и какого языка – говяжьего или свиного, а то,...

Njörðr and Skaði
In the Poetic Edda, Skadi (the goddess of bowhunting, skiing, winter, and mountains), in order to avenge the death of her father, takes up arms and goes to attack the rival tribe of the gods (the Aesir) in Asgard. The Aesir, wanting to appease her anger, offered her the choice of one of their number for a husband, with the stipulation that she choose a god by his legs (or feet) alone. She chooses Njörd (the god of wind and of the sea), thinking that he is the fair god Balder; their marriage fails as Njörd prefers to live by the sea, and Skadi is happier in her father’s home in the mountains. Some sources say Skadi later married the god Odin and bore him sons.
Scandinavia is said to take its name from the goddess.

The Old man of Storr
According to legend, the Old Man of Storr was a giant who lived on the Trotternish Ridge. When he was laid to rest upon his death, his thumb—the “Old Man”—remained partially above ground.🏴

Unfortunately this will be hard for me to do here in north Florida. I don’t think there are many ethnic Europeans here who are trying to reconnect with their ethnic pagan roots. That’s why I keep to myself.

The time for classical activism is over. The real European people must come together and become a community again.
Create local groups, get together and help each other.
Cultivate and pass on our European values to your children.
This is the only alternative we have left.
