Halloween: More than Celtic Samhain! Day of the Dead Across Pagan Europe
From Pagan Origins to American Holiday β a tale of sacred heritage, Church appropriation, and cultural revival. Brought by Gaels, preserved by Americans, and now reclaimed by Pagans across the world.

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"Modern pagans often fail to emphasize our animist foundation. For example, that Thor is not merely associated with thunder nor does he simply wield it as a weapon; he is the thunder. This highlights how essential animism is to paganism's roots.
If all our lore were lost in a cataclysmβor through a deliberate Abrahamic destructionβnew names for the Gods would inevitably re-emerge, just as they did in the beginning.
The Gods themselves are rooted in two things: the forces of nature and the memory of our ancestors. Thus, anyone who knows nothing of the old stories, but opens themselves to the spirits in the world around them, will naturally find their way back to a Pagan perspective, even if the names and terms are different."

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"I used to examine the various flowers blossoming around me. I looked at the veins in the petals, sometimes even under my little Fisher Price microscope. I noticed how the colors on the face of flower petals were iridescent in the sun. I loved how soft and silky flower petals are, and would even graze them gently across my lips to let the more sensitive skin feel the smooth softness of the petals.
Insects were a great interest and I was very happy to hold grasshoppers and crickets in my hands. There was a big fat toad who lived under the shrubs in the front whom I named Sam. I remember picking him up to bring to my dad to show him Iβve found Sam again.
What stands out to me in these memories is that I was a living resident of that space alongside these other living spirits who dwelt alongside of me. And, I really felt it."

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"The widespread and growing use of kosher and halal slaughter in Western nations is the most urgent animal welfare threat todayβyet ritual abuse of animals in Orthodox Judaism and Islam is barely addressed at all. Although since there is currently backlash against the Palestinian genocide, this moment offers a rare window to call attention to other heinous acts perpetuated by Abrahamic ideology.
The concept of respect for animals is essential to the European Folk Soulβand itβs exactly this ethical concern that keeps getting chipped away at by ideological manipulations and the left/right false dichotomy.
Itβs crucial to recognize that respect for animals is a foundational part of our own indigenous worldview as Europeans."

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"The indigenous mythologies of all world peoples, including our own, are rife with animals as important characters in tales.
Indeed, the Gods themselves have their own animal companions who are known by name.
Compare this to Abrahamic ideology where animals are nameless non-entities⦠or worse.
Christianity often uses animals merely as symbols to reinforce the mono-deity aspect of the ideology. For instance, the lamb as a symbol for Christ. We donβt see a lamb as a companion of Christ with a name. The individual nature of the lamb is completely erased. Itβs not a specific lamb, itβs a nameless any-lamb whose sole purpose is as an emblem of the uni-god.
One memorable scene in the New Testament depicts Yehshua bar Yusef riding a donkey. Does the donkey have a name? Does it serve any role other than a vehicle to carry the Christo human sacrifice?"

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"Animism is the foundation of Paganism. Fundamentally, first and foremost, we are animals living on Earth among other animals. Everything else is downstream from there. Our freedom to identify as unique ethnic groups, right to protect and preserve our identities, our shared genetics, and the cultural practice that bond us together are next on the pyramid of hierarchies.
Foundationally, the heinous cruelty to nature is one important ethical distinguishing characteristic of Abrahamism which Pagans should instinctively resist and actively oppose from our very core. Those who donβt feel this on a visceral level are enacting some kind of performative LARP of a religion under a Pagan costume."

"Tinkers and Tribalization" - an essay looking at Irish Travellers and other separatist groups to brainstorm survival strategies for ethnic European Pagan preservation.
Excerpt - "Irish Travellers have some group survival characteristics and practices which are worthy of studying.
The idea of a cant language for in-group communication which is mysterious to the outside world is one intriguing concept worthy of serious consideration.
We could take on board already burgeoning language movements like the Anglish language push.
However, anything that is in writing is discoverable by our hostile overlords. Perhaps a new secret script coupled with a robust oral tradition and memorization customs could assist here.
These are things that are more doable with an in-real-life, real world community."

"Tinkers and Tribalization" explores Irish Travellers and other separatist groups for insight on how we might separate as European pagan ethnic groups for survival.
With mysterious origins, there is reason to believe the Travellers may have been spurred to escape hostile foreign elite landowners.
Excerpt: "I could go more deeply into that hostile foreign regime. Like, for instance, the invading Norman eliteβs suspicious alliance with Jewish bankers originating in medieval Rouen, France;
how the English aristocracy to this day retains strong Norman ancestry;
and how Cromwell, like William the Bastard, invited Jewish bankers back into England while terrorizing and enslaving the local inhabitants.
But, suffice it to say, I think we can learn something here. Are the things happening today unique in history?
Absolutely not. Same people, same maniacal aim of totalitarian control, same fight for independence and survival."

The Dark Magicians have long been working their hypnotism. It began with iconoclasm for conformity into Empire. Multiplicity of Gods cannot work when Gods are tied to blood and soil.
It continued with the combining of tribal codes of law and morality, which had prior always been a different thing than religion, into a single canon which conflated the two.
Then began the campaigns to tell the Gentiles (people of the Gens, the Ethne, the Clans, and the Kindreds) that they were without morality, their Gods were demons, and they, themselves, were barbarians in need of the redemption of Yahweh β the tribal daimon of the Hebrew people.
They built a Trojan Horse Golem and named it Yah-Saves (Yeshuah). Thus, when we accept the Trojan Horse into our hearts, our souls become oathed to upholding the Hebrew Holy Land to the detriment of our own.

#Triggered at Prague Museum of Communism.
3 MILLION ethnic Germans mercilessly expelled from Czechoslovakia after the war. 3,000,000!!! And that doesn't count the multi millions in other Central and Eastern countries! They weren't only expelled, they were starved, raped, beaten, humiliated, rendered in poverty.
It says here the Germans were made to wear white arm bands to self identify.
You might say this was revenge for the war. But, this persecution of ethnic Germans was going back decades BEFORE WWII. This was the major reason for WWII! Uniting the German people into one nation was to complete the Unification which had only included some German regions.
This placard oversimplifies to the point of lying. Ethnic Germans had been under assault well up to this and were finally standing up and fighting back. This falsely claims "the final solution" killed anyone not German. In fact there is no documentation that German higher command ever signed off or planned any such thing.
