y€es I still believe in norse mytholoy and follow the old norse religion (or as near as we understand it to have been). I've been a member of the asatru faith for about 7 or 8 years now. if you have any questions feel free to ask em.

As for the mushrooms leading to berserkerangr that has never been conclusively proven and personally I'm doubtful of the claims. However the use of psychedelic mushrooms for other religious purposes, visions, etc I'm fully in support of.

Also you have to wonder what happens to all these long-forgotten deities... is Loki somewhere out there lurking in the hearts of the few true believers still left to remember his name?  :butcher:




The gods are far from forgotten, worlwide there are estimated to be roughly a million or more of us who still follow the old gods. although the worship of loki in particular is somewhat contentious.

Honestly I fucking hate the fact that the nazi's took one of the most sacred symbols in our religion and twisted it so horribly that we cannot even use it any more for fear of being branded racists... it really doesn't help that some neo-nazi groups have taken to associating with asatru and odinism either.

I say we take back the swastika and to hell with anyone who tries to say otherwise.

Good luck.  I used to draw it all over my shit in 6th grade because I liked the symbol, but then people set me straight and I was kind of embarrased because I don't want to be tied into that horrible BS.




I don't know why you should feel ashamed or embarrassed, it is the intention behind the symbol that is more important than the symbol itself. take the crucifix for example, you set it up in a church and people have no problem with it, you put one up in a field and light it on fire and its suddenly a big deal. I think the same should be of the swastika. people should not feel ashamed to use the symbol for religious or aesthetic reasons any more than someone would feel shame for using a cross. and just like the cross we need to build awareness that we do not support or endorse the racist fuck tards who would use it inapropriately.

Edit: This song is rather appropriate methinks.

There was a guy who had an ancient swastica in some tribal type artwork on his arm and some black dude on a bus got all pissed off, and when the guy tried to explain to the dude that he was misinformed, the dude cracked the guy in the jaw right before he got off at his stop, fucked his face up pretty bad.





Thats what you get for sporting a swastika.

I'm not saying its RIGHT but society is not ready so, that's what you get. You cant force people to "get over it"because you like the symbol. Some less informed guy is going to get offended and clock you in the jaw.




I agree, that's why I wouldn't wear one.




I've thought about getting a swastika tattoo for the religious connotations but if I was I'd get it somewhere not generally visible to the public, my upper thigh or something, I would know its there the symbolism and meaning would be the same but random black guys are less likely to break my jaw for it, and if they try I can always counter back with. "why where you pulling my pants down in public in the first place?"

Edit: and yeah wiccan seeker unfortunately there IS a branch of the white supremacist movement who have co-opted our symbols and religion, but you will find most of them brand themselves as odinists while most of the non-racialists tend to identify as asatruar. although there is some overlap obviously, you will find that most freeholds and kindreds at least here in canada have ZERO tolerance for racism of any kind.

We pretty much see the neo-nazi's who try and claim our faith the way most people see westboro baptist church in relation to christianity. they may claim to be of the same faith but really they are just fucking insane nut jobs who are using the religion as a mask for their biggotry.
