The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might

A delicately carved 4400-year old wooden snake figurine has been found on the southern shore of the drained Rautajärvi Lake in Humppila, Finland. It is unlike any other wooden artefact found in Northern Europe from this period.

The find was made from Järvensuo 1, a prehistoric wetland site occupied between 4000 BCE and 2000 BCE, where a 4800-year-old paddle was previously found, along with a host of other items, such as parts of fishing nets.

Based on broadly contemporary rock carvings, especially the ones with human figures holding a snake, it is assumed that the find is likely a shaman's ritual staff.

“This brings to mind northern shamanism of the historical period, where snakes had a special role as spirit-helper animals of the shaman”, said doctor Antti Lahelma from the University of Helsinki.

He continues: “Even though the time gap is immense, the possibility of some kind of continuity is tantalising – do we have a Stone Age shaman’s staff?”

The Athenian Treasury at Delphi

The treasury of the Athenians represents the earliest specimen of a Doric treasury made out of marble. According to Pausanias, the Athenians built the Treasury most probably after 490 B.C. in order to thank the god Apollo for their victory at the battle of Marathon. On the Northern and Western side there were depicted scenes from the life of Hercules, whereas on the South and Eastern side scenes from the life of Theseus.

In the treasury the Athenians kept their precious votive objects as well as spoils from their victories. Οn formal celebrations’ days they took these objects out of the treasury and put them in public display on the triangular terrace. The treasury is situated on an earlier building, possibly dated to the first half of the 6th century, which resembled the existing one in shape and size as well as -possibly- function. @GreekLeague

Abrahamists have always presented the pagans as the evil destroyers, killers of innocent, but in reality, it was always the opposite. Remember the library of Alexandria, and what they did to pagan Hypatia? Remember pagan Roman Emperor Julian who was murdered by his Christian bodyguard? What about the agent of the Russian Orthodox church the so-called Saint prince Vladimir who killed his pagan brother, and other Slavic/Russian pagan royals, also raping the pagan Slavic princess Rogneda and forcefully taking her to wife, then divorcing her and throwing her into the monastery after she bore him six children just so he can marry a Byzantium princess? In Armenia Saint Gregory whose history is very murky had the state backing military power in order to spread Christianity and forcefully convert the citizens to Abrahamism, putting all those who resisted to the sword. What about the witch trials, Spanish Inquisition, and the killing of pagan Volkhvs in Rus. What about the Romans killing Druids in Ireland. This os not even counting tens of millions of pagans slaughtered around the world during the time period when Abrahamism was breaking down the old pagan world order, and establishing their own new world order the process of which is unfolding till this day. And these people are not just using Abrahamic religious ideology for their agenda. They’ve also been using political ideologies, and other tools in their possession

So many these days want to reshape the gods to fit their own personal beliefs and views. This goes into the non-dogmatic nature of paganism topic. I have mentioned it before. It’s impossible to summarise. I think old paganism was not 100% void of dogma, if dogma is even a correct word to describe it. Paganism was and is very different from Abrahamic dogma, but our ancestors did have shared beliefs that they all agreed on. There were two sides to each God and Goddess of the Pantheon. There was the side shared by all tribe members, like all of the basic attributes and meanings of gods & goddesses. And then there was room for individualism as well. There was room for an individual person or an individual family to add additional attributes to any God or goddess. However, this individual part where you can add extra attributes or meanings to any God or goddess, this part remains personal, and not shared among all tribes members. Some individual families have chosen a main God or goddess to represent that family. Logically we cannot say that old paganism was not dogmatic at all, because if that was the case, then we wouldn’t even have any pantheon of gods or any kind of spiritual beliefs because there would be no shared belief among the tribe members, no shared pantheon of gods. So yes there was some dogma. I don’t even know if it’s the right word to describe it.. LGBTQ members don’t even acknowledge the ancestry part of paganism, and that’s already off to a bad start. They believe that you can follow the gods of other people’s ancestors, and avoid the gods of your own ancestors. How can you even go any further from this rotten foundation? If you remove the ancestry part of it, then you can forget about authentic paganism. That’s number one issue I have with them, and then on top of that they are trying to force their personal attributes that they are placing on specific God and goddesses on all the rest of the people who follow that pantheon of gods. As I have explained your personal view of any specific God or goddess must remain personal, individual

Loki is a god of chaos, he brings some movement when there is to much structure. I think he brings balans by disturbing a force when this force became to strong. For me he is the ultimate shapeshifter. It's silly that the LBQTsomething hijacked him as a god for the bi-seksual community to push their agenda. The force of Loki is much more complex and intelligent then that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a060o8QThs0&t=60s

Our wyrd
and soul entwined
'round Frig's distaff
may we find -
Our Life-thread
Yet pre-defined.

Every babe
and yet-unborn,
Receive Frig's love
for she has sworn -
A maternal heart
and child's adorn.

Sisters Three
Now have begun,
from the thread
that Frig had spun
Weave a fate
All said and done.
