Racism in Heathenry

[The Kilted Heathen]

and we're still uncovering the extent of this contact,

While the Norse undoubtedly had contact with the Muslim world, the "Allah garment" was debunked as hasty publishing and seeing what one wanted to see in a pattern.

Yes, the Allah Garment was trigger-happy media, but the article I linked did explain the mistake. I used it because it talks about both the initial jump-to-conclusions title, the reality, and the general relationship between the Norse and the Islamic world.

Ah, gotcha. On my phone at work, so I didn't get to look too closely at the article.

"A people who won't protect itself deserves to perish"

..and so racist people will perish, in due time. Wotan's Krieger and other fölkisch weaklings have to believe that heathen faith is reserved for white people, otherwise their worldview falls apart. Our gods never had any such concerns.

The Norse bred with lots of groups, as did the Gods. Thor had a child with Járnsaxa. Idunn is sister to the svartálfar (or dark elves/dwarves) known as the Sons of Ivaldi who are traditionally shown as dark-skinned. Skadi and Gerd are unabashedly called jötnar, while Odin himself is descended from jötnar, despite the fact that racists like to gather around him. One could even argue the incorporation of Freyja and Freyr into the Aésir after the war with the Vanir is “interracial.” It’s ridiculous the way racists use Heathenry.
