Europeans are returning to paganism: Our true religions and ancient traditions. As heathens or pagans we are closely connected to nature and guided by our ancestors' belief systems.

These old Pagan beliefs are similiar because We ALL worshipped the nature and tried to understand and give a meaning to the worldly events.

I live in Kyoto, Japan, and I see millions of tourists from everywhere visiting are fascinated to visit Shinto shrines which are pagan. Japan was one of the few countries which could avoid Christianity by closing the country off from all foreigners for a couple of hundred years. Paganism is making a general return to the earth. For example, Japanese anime contain worlds (sometimes disguised) of pagan, animistic and magical beliefs based on nature goddesses and gods. The return of paganism in Europe fits in with this global trend. I do research on paganism in popular culture and I found that the movie Star Wars in 1977 signals the return of the Divine Feminine. I think nature spirituality is important. I found that Shakespeare was a pagan too. And in his work he predicts the return of paganism and witchcraft. (Witchcraft means paganism but no clerics, no large scale organized religion. Large-scale organized religion with clerics, no matter pagan or not, could be a problem because clerics make connections to politicians). I am much more comfortable without groups and clerics. Thank you for this video, I think it's so important to explore this topic because our natural world is our only home.

I respect your view, but in my case, as a Portuguese, I just can't really find positivity in my ancestor's (the Callaeci mainly but it also includes other Iberic people, Berbers, Romans and Suebis) pagan practices, wich included human sacrifice and divination in animal entrails. I like the aesthetics of it (the stone circles like the Cromeleque dos Almendres, the dolmens like the Anta do Mezio, and the amazing Celtic Carnivals in Lazarim, Podence, or Mogadouro) but I just don't believe what they believed in, and I don't like their practices. Christianity is clearly declining, but I think the two big players taking its place are atheism and Islam, not paganism, and the paganism we see is very superficial, it only consists of tattoos, jewels, or merchandises. That's not paganism, that's just fantasy influenced by video games and Hollywood.

Completely agree. I'm sure when the vikings raided Paris they sacrificed a couple of hundred french soldiers to Odin... These gods were worshipped in a time when the world was very different but this is what they demanded; sacrifice in blood. I've seen no neopagans even sacrifice a living animal to "the gods" (although some may do). I agree that the reverence of nature is paramount, no matter what your faith is (as Bjorn is alluding to) but most modern pagans are in it for the fashion and the image, essentially role playing.

@BelaMadeira Год назад

Never truer words said. Neopaganism is so romanticised, if any of them could travel back in time and saw how pagans lived and worshipped they’d probably have a coronary. Christianity however, underpins our 2000 year old civilisation. Religion is meant to be “strict” for a reason, because without these rules, society will unravel.

When I was five years old my mother took me to see The Vikings at the theatre. It deeply affected me. At around 17 years -old I began to lean strongly toward Paganism and have been a Pagan my entire life. I will soon be 69 years-old. When my mother was 90 she mentioned her mother's family did not care for her father who was born in Kiev. She said they called him a "Rus." She had no idea what that meant. After she passed I was in a bookstore and bought a huge book on Viking history. I was sitting in my mountain cabin having a Martini and literally spit it across the room when I got to the section on the Kievan Rus. Then I realized my paternal Grandfather also had Viking blood, having come from Riga. What "silent knowledge" in my blood awakened a five year-old boy cannot be ignored.

I have no doubts my Northern European and Scot ancestors were pagans, but I don’t fault that I am a Christian today and my North American roots practiced Christianity for at least 300 years, probably a lot longer than that although it’s hard to trace anything before 1500 in many lines. I agree with you that Christianity was forced on a lot of peoples around the globe and certainly didn’t bring the converts to true faith. That a fair number of true Christian missionaries holding true to Christ’s words were martyred over the centuries simply trying to preach the Gospel is also true. I hold that people can certainly believe what they want, but I’m firm on John 14.6. Anyways I do appreciate your videos and your views and wish I could manage to spend more time out in the wilds.

This is interesting but I would argue paganism is really a setback, now paganism is often attributed to a more natural presence, but I would say that is not a religion, a connection to nature is something I a Christian experience. It should not be interpreted as a a belief set. Sorry but you are in fact worshiping creation. Whether you believe there is a creator or not, you are placing trust in a “spiritual force of nature.” This is not a necessarily true relationship of a force and your spirit, you have become so accustomed to the connection of nature you are mistaking it as a belief set.

It's a bit difficult to deliberately bring something back once it's gone, particularly as our ancestors weren't particularly literate and didn't preserve much in writing so we kind of have to guess a bit. They seemed to believe the afterlife was influenced by what you thought in this life, if you're buried in a ship with some weapons and some gold to pay for things and you believe in it hard enough it becomes a real ship, weapons and gold in the next life. As far as they were concerned you can take it with you.

Otherwise they won't be better than Christians towards whom they apparently have a big hate forgetting that the church/Vatican or basically popes themselves have distorted Christ's teachings and prosecuted other groups of Christians in the beginning like gnostics for example who taught a different story about our lives in this reality.

My mother is a McNeill. She made me nearly half Scottish.

As a Christian, I respect your beliefs. I'm not called to change your heart/mind. I appreciate your content and respect for the world around you

Respect to you dear fellow!

@inconnu4961 Год назад

Slight correction: You ARE called to present the Gospel (we all are as Christians), so dont be embarrassed or reluctant to share when appropriate JUST because some people are easily offended! Just continue to be courteous & respectful, as you have seemed to be here.

@@inconnu4961 Thank you. What I meant to convey was that I know I can't change the heart, I'm just called to plant the seed. :)

As a Black American, many Black people are learning about traditional Vodun or Kemetism! I'm glad people are returning to their ancestors' way of life and teaching.

My friend is Igbo and his parents are returning to their native faith, they used to be seventh day aventists! I'm glad this is happening in America as well as other parts of the world

@ibnyahud Год назад

i was also puzzled why so many Black Americans are such staunch Christians - the religion of the people that enslaved their ancestors... (likewise with Islam)

@mauritsponnette Год назад

@@ibnyahud Christianity also came from the conquerors and enslavers of the Celtic and Germanic peoples and after the imposed new culture and faith took hold, they became one of the most pious Christian peoples (the Irish, the English, the Germans, etc.), so I feel like the same happened to the African peoples.

I wish more Europeans would appreciate our ancestors like other cultures but with all of the propaganda against our people it seems hopeless. Although my sons are aware of our past.

Bjorn you are the same age as my father. The values, the way of thinking the knowledge etc you have, were not present in my family and the society i grew up in and that always left me a kind of hopelessnes about the future and a pneumatic isolation. I came across your channel recently and I'm so grateful, everything you put out there helps and gives me hope and courage for tommorow, seeing a kind of father figure that was absent all these years. Keep uploading, you are incredible.

Dutch pagan with Celtic, Germanic and Viking ancestry here and proud of it. I started to walk in my ancestor's footsteps again, am celebrating the 8 festivals of the sacred Earth Year again and I feel so connected! It is who I truly am. Also I am making people around me aware of the fact that we are the indigenous people of Northern Europe with our own spirituality and that our ancestors went through similar horrors as other indigenous peoples of the world.

@native_earth916 20 дней назад

Beautifully said. as a european American we are constantly hearing how Europeans are not indigenous lol 😵‍💫🙄 we are all indigenous to somewhere.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful place. Connection with nature is a connection to my Creator. Freedom is so important, and even if others don't agree with your beliefs, they should defend your right to have that choice. We are fast approaching a time when those freedoms will be attempted to be taken away.
