i think it’s cool to have a prominent spiritual tradition in america that isn’t centered on the supremacy of the divine masculine (all abrahamic religions)

i pray to the moon and no one can’t stop me :cool:

Even the dang catholic catechism denies that god has a gender or sex.

lol cmon i’m talking about genuine feel-it-in-the-heart spirituality, not technical definitions. yahweh is obviously a patriarch of divine masculine energy. that’s fine and even cool. it’s just limiting when we think the only way to relate to divinity is in the manner described by abrahamic religions.

So you've got some Scandinavian ancestry then? I'm Scandinavian and anyone over here who's into that is a nazi. Worship of Thor and whatever isn't part of yours and it wasn't part of your family's culture.

it’s not like, foolish or whatever to not want the pagan religion of your ancestors taken over by fascists.

for a lot of people, spirituality and religion are not just empty categories to dump meaning into. there are genuine and significant differences between a pagan faith and a monotheistic one. someone wanting to connect to the pagan traditions of their ancestors is perfectly reasonable.

The pagan traditions of his ancestors who were 100% not pagan. Okay.

People just want to be something different, and pick norse paganism because that's the popular one I guess, and there's tons of people with Scandinavian ancestry in the US and Canada.

?? i don’t get your point. nordic people were not pagan before christianity?
