Aryan Paganism, Traditions and Art (APTA)

What this new reconstruction started with was very mundane. Due to it currently being I mosquito season I remembered that there was some interesting folklore regarding the origins of the nasty insects. This led me to one Croatian legend, an epic song I once translated before and other ethnographic material here and there. What I did not expect to find was a common thread which led me to reconstructing a myth, which in Slavic tradition is no easy thing, albeit a very desired one.

Before I begin with the new reconstruction, let me remind you about the fight between Perun and Chaos Serpent. This reconstructed myth will be important at the end when I make my conclusion. What’s important to remember is that the Serpent is not Weles as some fools claim. It would make very little sense. I’ve delved into this topic before and will also address this issue again.

I’ll let you decide on the new one, but the last reconstruction seems solid enough. At least I am confident. It’s Swarog crafting lightning bolts for Perun. Read, if you haven’t.

If I had a penny each time I manage to reconstruct a Slavic myth I’d have 2 pennies. Not much, but that’s twice the amount an average academic has.

Remembered two interesting stories from folklore and decided to re-analyze them 10+ years after the first read. Found some interesting stuff. Just need to translate the texts themselves and find good illustrations. Though considering how obscure the tales are there’s probably no drawings or painting of them specifically. Will have to improvise.

Don’t be like that. Don’t go around screaming skal. Don’t use jewish symbols (like vegvisir) and most importantly don’t be a universalist/syncretist/platonist etc. Folk for the folk.

Heretics are such snowflakes

To this day the majority still have this conditioning to hate swastika in particular and their traditions in general. In russia swastika is still banned due to it being a quote on quote a symbol of fascism (yes, those fools can’t tell fascism from National-Socialism).

The new order of USSR had no place for any national identity, culture and/or pride, everyone was just a citizen with no origin destined to be blended into a new type of man homo soveticus. Later, during the WWII an incurably rare stock of traditional embroidery was destroyed completely by museum workers in Kargopolsk. Members of NKVD terrorized the countryside by hunting down traditional clothes and embroidery and confiscating it leaving people not only robbed of their material possessions, but also their traditions. The most disturbing thing is that even long after the end of the soviet regime museum workers kept vandalizing ancient embroidery by cutting swastikas off. That’s what communism did to them, their generation was simply programmed to react in this way to their own national symbols. A pavlovian conditioning to be a self hating trash.
