Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church - Denmark - Travel & Discover

[@AndersGetherSoerensen]

It should be noted that it took more than 200 years before the Danes became Christians in earnest. Far back in the Middle Ages, there were people who were still Asa believers (the many Viking gods). Asa is practiced to this day and is a recognized denomination with what it entails of rights.

“Therefore your end is on you, Is on you and your kings, Not for a fire in Ely fen, Not that your gods are nine or ten, But because it is only Christian men Guard even heathen things. -G.K. Chesterton

A shame most of this culture was almost deleted from history by church actions in the past

[@raunholt]

Yes, the mounds were there long before Vikings or Churches. They are megalith age.

Well yeah, many Danes would be because of how family trees work.

Runic lettering is no more pagan than Greek or Aramaic. Bring the runic alphabet back!

[@magnushmann]

Runes are cool and all, but I think Latin is just fine for modern applications.
