I'm looking for your best recs on the pre Christian worldview. The more comprehensive the better. Many thanks.

>> No.19822884

>>19822878
Or pre Christian world views in general. I'm mainly only interested in anything about European paganism if you know anything good about it.

IT IS SO HYPOCRITICAL THAT «PAGANS» ALWAYS TEND TO USE IMAGES LIKE THE ONE ATTACHED TO YOUR POST TO SHOWCASE WHATEVER PAGAN CULT WITH WHICH THEY IDENTIFY, DEPICTING PSEUDOIDYLLICAL MERRIMENT, AND FOLKIC PULCHRITUDE, AS IF FROM A «MYTHICAL GOLDEN AGE», WHEN THE REALITY OF PAGAN CULTS IS RESUMED IN IMAGES LIKE THE ONE ATTACHED TO THIS POST, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT PAGAN CULTS CONSTITUTE: DEMONISTIC VENERATION & APPEASEMENT, APPEASEMENT WHICH IS NEVER SATISFYING, AND ALWAYS BLOODY.

FEW THINGS ARE MORE THANATICAL & NIHILISTIC THAN NOSTALGIA FOR SAVAGERY.

Most neopagans are some form of Protestant paganism where they don’t partake in any of the actual worship through sacrifice, but instead only venerate and look to texts for the truth of their religion.

Yeah Christianity was so much more peaceful and idyllic, like when early Christians were torturing and killing heretics, the iconoclasm movement, the Sack of Constantinople, the 30 Years war, not to mention exterminating hundred of thousands of White European pagans and exterminating and miscegenating with the American Indians. All the descendant religions of Abraham are full of violent, schizophrenic retards.

Because you cracking open a beer in Thor’s name is totally the same as Aristomenes carving his 10 y/o daughter up in pieces to earn Athena’s favor against Spartan aggression.

Well I already told you of one.

Off the top of my head:

>Themistocles sacrificed 3 young men to Dionysus before the battle of Salamis after being commanded to do so by the prophet Euphrantides
>Spartans used to sacrifice people to Artemis until Lycurgus put an end to the practice... by having the priestesses whip the young men bloody instead (think Tatbir aka ritual blood letting in Islam)
>Pausanias writes about people sacrificing people (mostly babies) to Lycaeon's altar in Arcadia
>Strabo and Pausanias again mention of the devotees/slaves to Artemis having their genitalia cut off against their will by the deity's clergy
>Aphrodite's temples functioned as brothels where the young women serving as priestesses would be forced to have sex with other men against their will

I can keep going if you have the stomach for it
