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.

I live in Australia. My wife and I are Christians and our kids. But I am very aware that my ancestors worshipped Woden (Odin) and Thunor (Thor) - it became apparent when I realised what the days of the week in English meant. Something so obvious, yet many people don't even realise what it means. I would love to go to Norway, Denmark, Sweden and I really want to go to Iceland. It looks so beautiful and unique. It looks like heaven! Cheers.

Beyond that, people have a need to do so. One of the important things I note is that culture requires a certain amount of separation, or it disappears. Not isolationism... just some space preserved/left alone, and a culture is preserved. Globalism is the smashing of separation, and will not serve us well. People need to remember the paths their family came through.

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.

My grandad used to walk me down into winchester City as a kid, and we would always stop at Alfreds statue before going up the highstreet, he would tell me stories of Woden and Thunor and the wild hunts. I think people in European countries are desperate to find a self identity due to a lot of cultures being mostly erased, in a few months Im travelling for a year, and im going to retrace my roots, im going to old saxony and following the journeys of my ancestors, I want to visit the places of the northern tribes, I want to see where the frisians came from, the angles, saxons, jutes, Danes, Swedish, norse, Rus and Icelanders before ending my journey in greenland.

Everyone has freedom of thought, and each heart knows best where it belongs, but I do believe we should honour and nurture our native heritage and diversity in Europe.

I'm from the Balkans. We also have such places with residual megaliths. We also have people who talk like you. These are people who have returned to their old roots. They have returned to nature and the truth about their origins. More and more people are talking about it. It is said that once upon a time, only one population of the same culture lived in Europe. So the symbols or the symbolism was one in the whole territory of Europe. I could tell you a lot more. But first I would like to say the following. You brought this closer and clarified it so nicely. Thank you very much. Give me more stories like this. Post from the Balkans...

That part about taking pride in your culture is really great and something I strongly agree with. _Every single_ country that was involved to any notable degree in WWII has lost most or all pride and nationalism. Certain people these days talk a lot about 'Diversity' but the diversity the advocate for destroys true diversity. If you have a rainbow of different paints, and you throw them all in a bucket and mix them together, they all disappear into one boring, mucky brown. True diversity, beautiful diversity, is born of division and isolation. I want the world to once again be filled with divided, isolated, nationalistic countries. Unique cultures, languages, etc. I hate technology and that plays a part in this, but I'll cut it off there.

I was raised as a Christian in the United States, where I still reside, but had opened my mind about four years ago and had an open discussion with a norse pagan. We talked for eight hours about his beliefs and mine. Definitely an eye opener! I am still just as open and willing to learn about those traditions because the roots I was raised with were shaky at best.

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.

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.

It definitely wasn't hard to find that spiritual connection with the Norse Gods within the Rocky Mountains. Once I found it, it didn't really matter where I lived as I brought it with me. You comment about Native Americans really rang true with me too. The sense of Tribe and Culture that they have really seems to reflect what our Pagan ancestors' lives were like on the other side of the world.

I grew up in a Christian family yet I remember never really feeling as though I fit in or felt a connection with the faith. I'd spent most of my time outdoors playing, exploring, or just listening to the different sounds around me and it always felt like something was calling me. Of course as I reached my teens I started analyzing Christianity in a more literal sense and noticing just the peculiarity of the stories within the bible.. people turned into pillars, a great flood, the sea splitting.. I drifted away from it even more and basically cut all ties with it once I brought my questions to the various Christians I attended school with as well as my family.. and was met with both ridicule and blind faith. So I turned to Atheism which I felt some comfort in for a time, being free of religious ties and focusing on the world we live in set my mind and heart at ease, until about five or so years ago anyway when I began feeling lost again. To my surprise my dad had got a gift in the form of one of the family tree trackers I can't remember which one at the moment and while we knew his family had members from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany.. the tests concluded that my dad's family tree leads back to the Scandinavian countries and spread from there. Hearing this I began doing my own research into the cultures of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Happy to say it lead me here to this KZbin channel and to Norse Paganism.. it's almost like my appreciation of nature and those that have come and gone before us has increased drastically. I guess this is just some long convoluted way for me to say that I'm finally happy and feel like I belong somewhere.. that I'm part of something worth being a part of and that your words reinforce this feeling. Thank you Bjorn

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.

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.

Well said my friend! I see it happening here in the US as well, people are returning to their roots and it's amazing to see. I've been following Norse Paganism very closely since I was 13, but I got to have my amazing grandparents in my life until just a few years ago. My mothers parents were Danish & Swedish, my fathers parents were German & Finnish, so I was blessed to grow up hearing about where and how they grew up, and even stories of the Gods.

My fathers family were Pictish/Scots & Irish (Clan DalRiata). My moms family were Welsh. I am American with Catholic & English Church background. My understanding is that the Irish and Scots were pagans , revering the Norse gods. I have been able to visit Newgrange and Stonehenge in the past & had the feeling that I had been there before, even though it was my first time ever visiting. Maybe when the Great Architect calls me home I’ll find out.

As an American with a Northern European heritage, I cannot say enough how empty this nation feels, spiritually and culturally. There is no community of like-minded individuals, people are atomized and pit against each other in a rat race without an end, except the release of death. European Americans are discriminated against ceaselessly, by virtually every established institution and our forebears demonized, we are a conquered nation. Unlike us over here, you all in Europe have a chance to preserve and advance your people, don't waste the opportunity. I'm not religious, nor spiritual, anymore, as I cannot find truth anywhere. The old ways are fascinating, but too many, for lack of better words, LARPers (not you, nor other like you), have made them unattractive, and everyone seems to think they "know" "the" "way", when it seems dogmatic and superficial. I do think Nature is as close as we can get to the supernatural, as it truly is wonderous, but other than that, I have no clue what resonates with me anymore. Just empty. Best wishes to you all on your journey.

Many people say that if you are different religion, and not one of the three Abrahamic Religions…(Jewish, Christian, Islam)…..then you are pagan. So ancient Norse religion, Ancient Greek religion, Celtic, Wicca, Buddhism, ancient Roman religion, Hinduism, ancient American native religions, ancient Egyptian, native African etc….. are all Pagan. Personally….I am Theravada Buddhist. If Christians, Jews, and Moslems want to call me “pagan”…..okay… fine. I’m very happy being Buddhist, and not one of the three Abrahamic Religions. Thank you Bjørn, your words are full of wisdom. Blessings…..☸️ 🙂

If you are blocking people and calling them trolls because they are simply disagreeing with your historical analysis then that's on you... But it was pagans that persecuted Christians, not the other way round. I subscribed to you because I liked that you spoke out against the forced "medicine" But that doesn't doesn't I will agree with this false take on history prompted by Gibbon and his followers. Read Tom Holland We can both (Christians and pagans) work together against the modern corporations but don't pretend to make yourself the historic victim
