    The flood of Noah's

    It's a myth not historical truth, myths contain contradictions.

    Noah and the Flood

    I agree, the original flood myth is Sumerian found in the Epic of Gilgamesh and Noah is a biblical retelling of the Sumerian Utnapishtim, who was warned by the gods of the imminent flood and subsequently builds a boat fills it with grain, animals and his kin. Mesopotamia was situated between...

    Origin of the Germanic Peoples - Part 2

    Where, when and how did the Germanic tribes arise? There is no definitive answer to this question either, but there are quite a few theories based on archaeological evidence. In his recent book, The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern...

    Origin of the Germanic Peoples-Part 1

    The Germanic tribes were an oral culture so there are no written records that allow us to precisely state their origin. They were not a unified people and would not have called themselves Germanic, however the epithet Germanic is used today to designate a common linguistic group. In the past the...

    Heathenry- Origin and Politics

    I wrote this some time ago but it may be of some interest to new Heathens. Heathenry: Origins and Politics Heathenry is an umbrella term for those who practice Germanic neopaganism whether the focus be Anglo Saxon. Norse, German, Frisian or Frankish. Heathenry has many names; Odinism, Asatru...

    "God is a woman"

    Dr Siegfried is incorrect! and what university did you get your PhD in Norse mythology. Arrogant much! Read the blog: "In Snorri Sturluson’s Edda, it says that Loki is “numbered among the Æsir [the gods].” The language is important; Loki may hang out with the gods in several myths, but he is...

    "God is a woman"

    Touché dude, the Vikings travelled to England and took their myths with them, except the Vikings that settled in England were Norse and Danish not Icelandic. I would think that zero evidence of a cult of Loki in Iceland would have been enough, but obviously not. Perhaps you could do some of...

    "God is a woman"

    QUOTE=]Re: the reddit thread, I am familiar with AnarchoHeathen. Nice fellow, for a Hard Recon. He - and that thread - is also discussing Ásatrú specifically, which is but one group within Norse Heathenry itself. Others are not as restricted to the aesir alone, and consider all aspects of Norse...

    "God is a woman"

    Did you read the Norse Mythology Blog? If not there's no point in futher discussion on Loki as you seem unwilling to challenge your ecelectic outdated ideas. I put the bold on here in my reply because if that was a link it goes nowhere, I pushed and touched it....nothing!. Plus, of course...

    "God is a woman"

    Needling? That's your interpretation, why are you feeling needled? Because your ideas are challenged? Bluntly sharing and discussing references is the standard mode of conversation for reconstructionists; I guess it can be a shock if your not used to it. Your ecelectic and that is not a value...

    "God is a woman"

    I think your confusion here is that you are conflating mythology with cults. The Norse Mythology Blog will answer all the points you raised. The Norse Mythology Blog | norsemyth.org: Questioning Loki, Part One | Articles & Interviews on Myth & Religion

    "God is a woman"

    Dude, your link in your previous post doesn't work for me I would have read. It goes to a blank page. As for the rest of your post I've already said I get it your eclectic and you don't want to read.

    "God is a woman"

    Dude, you still don't get it, the gods dont care if they transgress gender boundaries, rape, kill and break oaths. That's why there are multiple examples in the myths, the gods will do anything it takes to acheive their goals, including commiting ergi. Stop trying to defend their actions, find...

    A question about the Norse Gods

    I believe their mortal. There is a myth that states the gods need Idunn's apples to prevent old age, when the apples were stolen the gods begin to age. I have no reason to doubt the basics of the myth, though given Idunn's name means ever young the apples may be an addition. Plus of course the...

    The Ragnarök

    Dude, enough said! Your going to continue to make stuff up, mash Norse mythology in with new age ideas and claim its Heathenry. Got it.

    "God is a woman"

    From Norse mythology: • Thor dressed as a woman in Thrymskviða, • Odin shaped shifted into a medicine woman for the rape of Rinda/r. Gesta Danorum, Book 3, • Odin in Lokisenna "And in witch's guise | among men didst thou go; Unmanly thy soul must seem." • Loki in dresses as a bridesmaid in...

    The Ragnarök

    I think you misunderstood my question, I didn't mention plagarism or copyright, I have however mentioned it in two other threads regarding your borrowing of others work without referencing and will continue to do so if don't provide your sources. My question in this thread was regarding which...

    "God is a woman"

    Sex is determined by chromosomes, gender is not. You may like to keep it simple but it is not, gender and sex are conceptually distinct. Gender is a social construct and is recognised as such under the law. Definitions used for clarity under the law: Sex refers to the chromosomal, gonadal and...
