Folkish Worldview

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy Nietzsche

Pagans are starting to gain serious ground against Christianity every day. They are having to actually respond to our critiques. One strange comeback from Catholics is that pagan fundamentalism (folkishness) is critiquing "Protestantism" and none of our critiques apply to Catholicism. Catholicism (as well as Eastern Orthodox) is a heterogenous slop of pagan and Jewish practices, along with pagan and Jewish beliefs. Catholicism cobbled the pieces together to convert pagans to a Jewish faith. There are only two real options: Paganism and Protestantism, the latter trying honestly to stamp out paganism from Christianity and leaving only the Jewish core. Catholicism is the Jewish core plus Roman paganism. Orthodoxy is the Jewish core plus Slavic, Balkan, and Greek paganism. All our critiques of Catholicism apply, because Catholicism is just paganism mixed with Judaism. @folkishworldview

Much as we beat up on Platonists, we shouldn't go too hard on them. Although it's good that their channels aren't posting much anymore. Some people just need to be argued into a religion. Not everyone finds their way to folkishness by the same means. We disagree with these folks, but it's good that they've found their way to heathenry. Some people need to reason their way to the divine. Others get there by a genuine mystical experience. Heathenry is now getting to where some people are heathen because they were born into it. These last two (and especially the last one) have no need of arguing their way to the divine. And as the generations pass, and folkish religion grows, the need to rationalize religion will fall by the wayside. Folkishness is the future. @folkishworldview

Christians and Muslims are starting to notice the folkish worldview. They're calling us "fundamentalists". They're not wrong. https://substack.com/@fortissax/note/c-59921900 Christians are not scared of the "transcendentalists". Few men ever fought and died for a metaphor. Fundamentalists are the ones who will die in battle because they will go to Valhalla. Folkishness is fundamentalism. @folkishworldview

"Historical pagans didn't think the myths were literally true lol" (Pictured: A map showing the physical location of Ginnungagap next to Greenland) Credit: Þórr siðr

1) The myths are literally true 2) Different mythic sources contradict each other Both of these are required for a serious pagan theology. We're not atheists, so we believe the first. We've read the sources, so we believe the second. Some heathens see (2) as such a problem that they end up rejecting (1). They will say that straightforward belief in the myths is a "Christian" or an "Abrahamic" thing. This is ridiculous. It just as much an Egyptian thing, an Igbo thing, a Yakut thing, etc. Believing that your myths really happened, believing that your tradition is not lying, is an "every folk" thing. The only thing it's not is a Platonist thing. We need to build a new framework for interpreting myth (really, we need to rebuild the oldest one). We can't import one from classical Greece. We have work to do. It would be negligent to just copypaste a defective framework from a dying civilization and call it a day. @folkishworldview

"Folkish heathenry" is redundant. "Inclusive heathenry" is an oxymoron. Whatever these "inclusive" heathens think they are doing, it is not a traditional European religion. @folkishworldview
