I’m getting a little tired of coming back to this argument. I would post a comment on the actual article. I cannot accept what really amounts to anecdotal evidence as objective proof. Moving from the present to the historical, even if most modern polytheists hold a ‘panentheistic monist’ theology, does that mean that the religions they are a part of always did? Could that not, in some cases, be a more recent innovation? The Shape of Ancient Thought. This entry was posted in theology. February 11, 2014.

Did you know that according to the Talmud Saturnalia was invented by Adam, but then those wicked Romans got their hands on it and went and ruined it? 3] Perhaps because I sinned the world is going dark around me and returning to chaos and disorder! 4] This must be the death sentence that was decreed for me from Heaven! File this under: mostly useless, but amusing and an excuse to practice my Hebrew, which has been neglected these past years.

Folk religion and the limitations of the historical record. Imagine, if you will, that you are a person in the 21st century trying to study folk religion among the Baltic Finns over the last few centuries. Now, also imagine that the great enthusiasm for the collecting of folklore and study of folk religion that swept Europe in the 19th century never happened. What then would your source material be for such a study? Gus diZerega makes this curious claim:. I’m also more than a little disturbed at wh...

The following is from a post I made to ASHmail on November 4, 2011]. I suspect there to be a tendency in Heathendom to dismiss various myths that we ourselves would rather not exist as being of Christian origin.

The Stoics on the gods VIII: haec docuit colere divina. Quis dubitare, mi Lucili, potest quin deorum inmortalium munus sit quod vivimus, philosophiae quod bene vivimus? Huius opus unum est de divinis humanisque verum invenire; ab hac numquam recedit religio, pietas, iustitia et omnis alius comitatus virtutum consertarum et inter se cohaerentium. Haec docuit colere divina, humana diligere, et penes deos imperium esse, inter homines consortium. Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium. This entry was posted in gods.

Of Axe and Plough. Musings from a Germanic polytheistic Pagan with Roman inclinations. Books, Links, and Resources. I am a contemporary polytheistic Pagan who utilizes reconstructionist-derived materials as a foundation for my practice and belief. My particular form of Paganism is focused on approaching two traditions, Anglo-Saxon and Roman, with some sprinklings of interconnected Continental practice as it fits within those two larger practices.
