Folkish paganism is on the rise!
And this is very exciting times!
Norse Heathen, Folkish Pagan. I'm an animal friend, wolf lover & Odin's son from Hedmark, Norway! I'm a redpilled pagan nationalist, rural country dweller, nature lover, lover of bushcraft, outdoors survivalism. Heathen, animistic, practiser of norse paganism, borned and raised in a christian family, but as I grew up I found out that I no longer believed in christianity, the bible and all that is in it. For a while I also used to be an atheist though, but I've found my real norse identity & ancestral heritage. I don't mind if some of you who are following this channel is christians or of another belief than I am, (if you respect me, I respect you the same), but I don't like people trying to push their religion on somebody against their will. I'm a folkright paganist, that means I believe I am entitled to my ancestral heritage, and I believe the same is true for all other peoples in the world. Every peoples in the world have their ethnic ancestral traditions and folk faith. Before monotheistic religions were invented, all of humanity were animistic pagans. Animism is the belief in the divine spiritual forces of nature. It's nothing mystical about that what so ever. Nature exist so it makes sense, I think. If you have another opinion, that's fine, I'm not trying to force my opinion on anybody either. But I will defend my posission if people are attacking my way of belief. I don't like zealots, missionaries and you have no right to tell me I'm gonna burn in hell if I don't believe in Jeebuz! You believe he's the Lord and Savior, but I don't, get over it! Your god was nailed to a cross, my god has a hammer! Odin is to fight and never give up. A tree without it's roots will fall. Pagan wisdom! Our true European roots are not Judeo/Christian or islamic, and therefor I reject abrahamic religions, for my self and I don't recommend it to anyone. But again, everyone is free to figure out for them selves what is the best for yourself. I think I have figured out, this is my path and I will continue my path untill the very end! Hail Odin, Thor and Freya! Hail all norse gods and goddesses!
I've recently been given a small window to pursue more creative venues. I'm going to push hard to write a book, relearn some songs on some instruments and return to making wood burnt art.
If I can manage to get some passive income from my endeavors I can pursue the more fulfilling aspects of life (I will still be chopping wood and exercising outside but maybe more for personal land development and less to make money)
