Faith - Pagan Folk Music - Charlemagne Vs The Saxons

[@KeithOSullivanmusic]

Hi guys. I'd just like to clarify that my intent with this video was from a Historical perspective, telling a sad story from Europe's past.

[@mustafatasangil3806]

When I studied history, we had the opportunity to read the Edictum Saxoni of Charlemagne. Saxons were to be killed for the slightest offence, since they were heathens. Thank you very much for bringing this up.

[@KeithOSullivanmusic]

Thanks Mustafa. History has many sad and cruel tales to tell.

Thanks again my friend.I'm happy that you like it. Have a great week, and talk to you soon. :)

Hi do you proud on your ancient religion, do you think Christianity is forcefully imoport on US European people,

[@trygveblacktiger597]

@@ashutoshdixit9598 Yeah, i do practise norse polytheism And Yes,no,maybe. Now the christiansation of europe is very complicated, and involve everything from propuganda to mob violence to peacefull convertions. By the mid medieval period most cities where Christian, but pagan practises would continue in Europe for many more years. Infact i would say that Europe wasnt fully Christian until the 1400s when Lithuania the last pagan kingdom in europe willingly converted after fighting the christian Polish and Teutonic order. And even then some pagan religions survived like the Sami who would sadly be prosecuted by the Norwegian,Swedish and Russian goverments. Infact the last like shaman drum for the Sami only survived because it was thrown in a evidence locker and was forgotten.

Thanks Guillermo. How are you doing ? I hope that you are keeping yourself busy making music. The world is going to hell on us. I haven't been doing anything lately, Archie my dog, best friend, was diagnosed with Cancer, Lymphoma. So, he is near the end, and I'm just trying to look after him in the short time he has left. My heart is broken, the last thing I feel like now is making music. He had a great life, he's 17, a very special character in my life. I hope that life is treating you well. Best wishes to you my friend.

[@guillermoferres4071]

@@KeithOSullivanmusic In the past months I've had little inspiration so I havent made much music.. But finally last month I started to come back to composing.. I have many many old ideas in process but will have to order them in order to complete them. What a pity to hear that.. But it's nice that you could share with him all those years and having the chance to take care of him :) Best wishes to you too!

[@KeithOSullivanmusic]

I know what you are saying, sometimes inspiration is sadly lacking. Sometimes you'd prefer to do anything but make music. You should look back, to your last work for inspiration. Sometimes I find that being your own worst critic can be off putting, after all this is a confidence game. Plus it's an expensive game.

Interestingly enough there were still Frankish pagans at the time that this happened. Not a lot but they were still around. Especially on the Rhine.

Im glad we live in an age where we have illegalized such practices today, like human and child sacrifice, ritual fornication, amd other such terrible practices that were crimes against humanity. Ultimately, injustices still exist today. Some of them were stopped because men stood for the right cause, whether or not it was popular then or now

The music helped BIG time and the gruesome video should wake up people who think religion is always right because some guy in the sky is believed to be and 'But I have THIS BOOK!' Sometimes being religiously neutral is the answer that will make your later life better. Imagine you are a young child, your house door gets kicked in by thugs that set it on fire and drag your father out to the chopping block and the one good and pious holy man you were indoctrinated to believe was a saint and wouldn't hurt a fly lops your dad's head off and seems to like it. What must be going through that kids head when he sees the one man who he could trust when times get bad, turns on him and kills his father in front of his eyes with body language indicating he has found salvation in the blood of the man that raide yiu. Way to make SURE he will remember to never trust anyone from church from that point on. Just because you read that you must do these things in a book and hear it preached in the one building you expect there to be no demons or monsters.

And ol' Dolph did nothing wrong either, you moron.

[@marcustuliuscicero4605]

@Otto Of course it was. Europeans turned the teachings of Jesus Christ into a justification for enslaving and conquering other peoples. "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36
