Pagan God Worship

Post Reply New Topic

ok is it Bad to worship Pagan Gods like Thor and Loki and is it bad to mix Jesus Christ with Paganism/Wicca? no mean reply's because I will report you!

Rather threatening aren't you....

Worship whatever you want. Ancient Germanic pagans/polytheists actually did jointly revere Christ and the indigenous gods at the same time for a short period. The White Christ among the pantheon of the native Gods. I would caution high skepticism when dealing with any religion/cultural philosophy though. Wicca for example isn't a real holdout of paganism. It's just the brain child of some guy from the "romantic revival" of so called ancient traditions. At best it's accurate following of Roman propaganda, which vilified local customs to justify conquering and annexation.

Yes.

Jesus was, and to an extent still is worshipped in some degree by some northern heathens due to the fact that he is a manifestation of the Allfather. I have no issue with Jesus at all, but I reject the Paulist baggage that goes along with mainstream Christianity.

I think that if one is going to worship Jesus, one should accept him as an old freind, much like the elder Gods, or a facet of Odin.

Wicca serves it's purpose as a gateway, or intruduction to Pagan/Heathen faith, but as a standalone faith, it leaves quite a bit to be desired, as for the most part there is no true set theology, and no as a faith sees a wide variety of Gods from a wide variety of cultures as little more than an amorphous blob of Jungian Archetypes to be to be interchanged. Zeus isn't Thor, isn't Shiva, etc, but in Wicca, they all represent more or less the same thing.

Not necessarily. Many pagan paths incorporate Jesus as a cycle of the old sacrificial sun god /demigod paradigm. Just as hoodoo will incorporate many catholic saints. Paganism can be quite a smash of things.
But we really have sufficient threads on this already in this here forum, currently. You may find it useful to read those instead and contribute.

Picanmix religion is democratic goooood.

I think at worst if you don't know what you're doing or why you're doing it (aside from maybe to lash out at predominant mainstream culture) it could be a bit of a waste. Better to perhaps find some good sources on the philosophies and meanings of the deities and see if it's something you can get your head around let alone relate to. I familiar with Odin's link to the solar dying-god myth as well as Thor's Jupiter association or Freya's Venus association - technically you have five days of the week that you could follow in this manner, Thor being the root for Thursday and Freya being the root for Friday.

That's really about all I know on Nordic deities which isn't much. If you start looking for good authors on the topic I might at least be able to do some research and see who knows what they're talking about. If that level of analysis is way more than you looking for though that's fine too.
