Look out ! It’s Satan!

Well folks, it’s been a minute. That’s right, I haven’t done shit in about a year. Why you ask? Because I just did not have the time. Well, now something has motivated me to write. TH Satanist are back!

Her in small town America where we have more churches than people to fill them the local chapter of the Satanic church has started a group at the local elementary school to combat the Christian group that meets there now. You guessed it, the villagers have their panties in a twist.

Here’s the thing about Satan, you can’t have Satan without the Christians and their god. Satan comes from the bible and only the bible. Satan is part of the Christian religion and thus just another sect of said religion. The Churches were full and all a buzz about these Satanists who are going to steal our children and have human sacrifices or some shit. They are going to have a prayer rally and pray for their souls or some garbage. I get this information from my wife by the way. They want me to have sympathy for the church because somehow a handful of jackasses calling themselves satanists are going to topple Christianity.  What the fuck is that shit? You are going to have a hard time trying to get me to have sympathy for a religion that persecuted me from 1983 to well yesterday.

Here’s the thing. These people are not Satanist but anti religion. They found a way to shock the villagers because they believe there is some sort of violation of the Constitution having a prayer group in the school. First, they are dead wrong. I have a Master’ in American history and I know an ass load about the constitution. Any civic group, that is a nonprofit institution, community member or members can ask the school for use of the facility in their community for programming. That includes religion. As long as the school does not endorse the program, it is not State sponsored religion. If the school was to sponsor the group, make it mandatory, or deny other religious organizations the same privilege, then there would be a problem.

Here's what’s gone wrong, the supposed Satanist don’t understand the Constitutional clause separating church and state, and the Christians are jumping into action to fight the evil doers. I’m making popcorn to watch the show. These two groups are going to go at it like cats and dogs and in the end, they are both going to lose and claim victory at the same time. The school department will just throw both groups out and make a policy not to give anyone access. How do I know this? I lived through the 1980s! This shit isn’t new.

The best option is to not react and let the Satanists have their fun. It will fizzle out in a few months when they realize no one cares. So, to the opposing forces, find a hobby or get a life.

A Brief History of Asatru in the United States: Part 3 My Return

Image
As I made my reemergence into the real world and back to communal Asatru. I went back to the old standards looking at The Troth and the Asatru Folk Assembly. These two organizations had always been the standard for nationwide Asatru, and before the internet and social media, these groups were how you found fellow Asatruar. A lot, can happen in a decade. When I looked at The Troth I saw all the old familiar faces. Not much had changed, at all, ever, since 1987. It looked like everything was exactly how I left it. Then I went to the AFA. I have to say I was shocked but not surprised. Given how the AFA had such right leaning politics, it was not a stretch for them to go “Alt-Right” or I like to say Nazi. What I discovered was that in my absences a lot has changed in the Asatru world. For one, there are a lot more Heathens out there than ever before and they seem to be well informed. Also, Heathenry is a lot more liberal than it ever was in the past. As a bunch of heathens, we were all

Eyvind Kinnrifi : A Day of Remembrance

Image
February 9th, is another day of remembrance, on our Asatru calendar. Today we honor Eyvind Kinnrifi who was tortured and killed, for no other reason than the ancestral faith of his Germanic Gods. Eyvind Kinnrifi was a farmer of noble birth and a leader in Trondheim, Norway. His only crime the love and devotion he wanted to freely show to the Gods and Goddesses that his ancestors honored and worshipped. His life taken from him for refusing baptism and for not accepting the mono - God of the Christians and his son the white Christ savior. Eyvind Kinnrifi was captured, tied to a table, and tortured to death in a most horrible of ways. A brazier filled with red - hot coals was placed on his stomach until his body, it is said, literally burst open. This unforgiveable act was perpetrated by that evil Christian King Olaf. Cattle die and kinsmen die, thyself eke soon wilt die; but fair fame will fade never, I ween, for him whom wins it . - Havamal

The Swastika or Fylfot: Its use in Heathenry

Image
Zoomorphic Swastika Horse Brooch, c. 3rd Cent AD The ever-controversial swastika or fylfot is a stick subject for most Heathens. First, it has been used by Nazis as a symbol of hate since the since the 1930s and is still used today by hate groups. So, should Heathens continue to use the fylfot? The “swastika” has been used by ancient and modern peoples as a symbol of good luck. Many Eastern religions still use its image. Heathenry on the other hand has mixed feelings on this. Within Heathenry, the swastika design has been found on artefacts of various European cultures since the Neolithic, and it recurs with some frequency on artefacts dated to the Germanic Iron Age. Examples include a 2nd-century funerary urn of the Przeworsk culture, the 3rd century Værløse Fibula from Zealand, Denmark, the Gothic spearhead from Brest-Litovsk, Belarus, the 9th century Snoldelev Stone from Ramsø, Denmark, and numerous Migration Period bracteates. The swastika is drawn either left-facing or r
