WE HAVE BEEN STUDYING
AND PRACTICING IN THE ASATRU/ODINISM FOR OVER TWO DECADES
AFTER BEING BROUGHT UP AS A CHRISTIAN AND ATTENDING RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS I BEGAN TO QUESTION THE PRACTICES, BELIEFS AND ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
THIS LED ME TO RESEARCH OTHER PRE-CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND HOW THESE BELIEFS METAMORPHISIZED INTO MODERN CHRISTIANITY
WHAT I LEARNED INTRIGUED ME AND SHOCKED ME.
ONE THING IN PARTICULAR BUT BY FAR NOT THE ONLY THING WAS
THE WHOLE STORY OF CHRIST IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE
STORIES OF OTHER ANCIENT GODS SUCH AS OSIRUS FROM EGYPT, THE HINDU GOD BUDDHA AND KRISHNA FROM INDIA. THE SIMILARITIES ARE TO SAY THE LEAST ASTOUNDING.
EACH NEW INSIGHT LED ME TO REALIZE AND UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY RELIGIONS WHERE FORMED, WHETHER BASED ON MYTHS OR REAL PEOPLE GIVEN GOD LIKE ATTRIBUTES FROM EXAGGERATIONS
AND PASSED ON THROUGH THE CENTURIES AND EACH NEW
CULTURE THAT LEARNED FROM THE OTHER ADAPTED ITS OWN GOD ATTRIBUTES TO ITS OWN. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR CENTURIES UNTIL THE END RESULT IS OUR MODERN DAY RELIGIONS.
THESE LINES OF RESEARCH LED ME BACK TO MY ANCESTORS FAITH IN THE NORDIC GODS - GODS BASED ON THE EARTHS LIFE GIVING GIFTS.
I FELT A NATURAL CONNECTION THROUGH A SENSE OF SPIRITUALITY.
CASTING ASIDE THE MIDDLE EASTERN CULT OF CHRIST
I HAVE FOUND IMMORTALITY IN VALHALLA
WISDOM IN ODIN
STRENGTH IN THOR
HAIL THE NORDIC PANTHEON
THE TROTH OF ODIN
