This past weekend a beautiful and bold display of Pagan Revivalism was on full display in Greece.

According to greekreporter.com, in an article titled Ancient Greek Religious Festival of Anthesteria Revived in Athens, "The ancient Greek religious festival of Anthesteria was revived in Athens over the weekend of February 8 and 9.

Participants dressed in ancient Greek costume met on Sunday at the stairs of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, under the Acropolis, to reenact the spirit of the celebrations in honour of the god of wine Dionysus.

The procession continued to the archaeological site of Kerameikos, where participants honoured their dead ancestors."

This is terrible! Why would Sweden do this to the religion of peace?

That’s how you deal with lesbians

In case you don’t know the two above are considered saint

Gaybashing is a proud Pagan tradition, only leftist fakes think otherwise. Case in point:

Homosexuality in the Ancient Greece

We often hear from apologists for homosexuality that the latter was the norm in the ancient world, especially in Rome and Greece. In fact, the myth of Greece being a homosexual utopia was popularized by Oscar Wilde, a know homosexual himself.
Yet the texts and works of art tell a completely different story.
In Athens, homosexuals were despised and obliged to declare their vice in ecclesia, after which they lost all civil rights. If they hid their vice, they were ostracized or executed. For them, there were derogatory nicknames such as euryproktos (wide anus) chaunoproktos (gaping anus) and lakkoproktos (anus like a pit).

In the speech of Aeschines against Timarch it is said that if any Athenian is a man's lover, then he is forbidden:

1) to be one of the nine archons
2) to be a priest
3) to be an advocate in court
4) to hold any position inside and outside the Athenian state
5) to act as a herald or to elect a herald
6) to enter sacred public places, participate in religious liturgies with a wreath on the head and be in that part of the square, which is consecrated by sprinkling

Any sort of queer theory in connection with Óðinn rather tends to qualify as some sort of modern myth in accordance with popular ideas in the contemporary world, but hardly with the norms of one of the most homophobic societies one can possibly imagine, that of the Germanic Iron Age.

Cu Chulainn’s death

Here’s to all Pagan couples having a good day. Let us hope that this year more men and women come together bound not only by love but faith too.

There’s nothing like some ((academic)) interpretation

If one compares the Zoroastrian cult to the more healthy polytheisms of antiquity, one sees how bizarre and irrational it is, although Christianity has so accustomed us to it that few reflect on how pernicious is a belief in an evil god. No mental poison has been more deadly than the Zoroastrians’ great innovation, the basic tenet that the world is a battlefield on which two gods contend for mastery: a good god and an evil god, each of whom would be omnipotent, were it not for the other. For no intelligible reason, these two mighty supernatural beings, one of whom had the power to create the entire universe, have to recruit puny mortals for a war that is absurd anyway, since everyone knows that in the end the good god will overcome the evil god, take him captive, and settle down to torturing him for all eternity. In the meantime, however, all men must join one or the other army and fight desperately to destroy their enemies.

Like John the Baptist and the Apostles of Jesus, Zoroaster also believed...that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. Through the whole of the Gathas (the Psalms of Zoroaster) runs the pious hope that the end of the present world is not far off....Ormuzd will summon together all his powers for a final struggle and break the power of evil forever....Thereupon Ortmuzd will hold a judicium universale upon all mankind and judge strictly according to justice, punish the wicked, and assign to the good the hoped-for reward. Satan will be cast, along with all those who have been delivered over to him, to suffer the pains of hell, into the abyss, where he will thenceforward lie powerless. Forthwith begins the one undivided kingdom of God in heaven and on earth.

^ most degenerate ideas of abrahamism are not as original as its followers think. Axial turn, while not simultaneous, did occur in many ancient societies when they were shaken by wars (like Greece) or foreign influence (usual aftermath of wars). A more fitting term would be an Atheistic turn, but that would require a return to the original meaning of atheism. Outright denial of any and all divinity is modern. Past atheism had other forms like replacing gods with abstractions e.g. in abrahamic cults it’s forbidden to depict god in human-like form (christians break this rule being mentally quite Pagan).

Romans considered jews and christians atheists. Ancient Greek law prosecuted philosophers as such even though most of them referred to divines in their writing.

Monotheism, henotheism as well as non-fundamental (non-literal) polytheism are just early stages of atheism, like a virus not having full power right away.
