Find don Thor Strength to fight for dom Silence ToBe.

From now on, should anyone hidden among the Saxons as a non-baptized person wish to remain in concealment, who disdains to come to baptism and wishes to remain a pagan, let him be put to death. ( Law Code for the Saxon Territories 797 A.D.)

Where are d Protestors? Bulldozing Native American burial Sites is Bad. Bulldozing Palestinian Homes is Bad. Bulldozing Xots (Goths/Asatru) Holy Sites is just Business? Where are d Witches, Wiccans, Heathens, Pagans, Gaians, New Agers? Too busy protesting on behalf of Polar Bears that can’t swim?

Where are d UN Resolutions of Protest. Where is d call for Regime Change & No Fly Zones? Too busy “saving” Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans, Syrians from CIA/Mossad Black Ops? When u destroy a People’s Religious Sites is this not a form of Ethnic Cleansing? Apparently not if they are Xotik (Gothic/Asatru) Temples then it is just a Money Deal?

Charles began his final solution for the Saxon problem of deporting Saxons, as early as 799. Saxon families were expelled and sent to other parts of the empire as serfs and unfree labor and their land was distributed among his men. This was carried further 804 when Charles “deported all Saxons living beyond the Elbe and in Wihmnodi with wives and children into Francia and gave the districts beyond the Elbe to the Obodrites.” This relocation of the population put an end to the Saxon resistance. No more resistance to Frankish rule is heard of after this date until 842. (Charlemagne, The Church And the Saxon Conquest, By Paul Edstrom 10 Dec 2002)

Do not be fooled. D 2,000 year old Crusade & Inquisition to exterminate Xots by wiping their Real Culture off d Map of History is still going on Strong. This destruction of a 6th or 5th century BCE “Temple” later honouring Thor, Odin, Frey and Freya in Norway is proof of this. D only thing that this Crusade & Inquisition wants to stand is d Negative or Cartoon Re-Writing of Xotik History: Goths are perverted, violent BARBARIANS & in League w Nasties; Asatru r dangerous Right Wing Survivalists in League with Terrorists; Witches are Ugly & in League w Odin, I mean Satan.

It is a Time to go beyond Politics, beyond, Manufactured Racial Strife, beyond Comparative Religious Reductionism, beyond “Spiritual Materialism” & reclaim our Xoting, our Mystical Silence ToBe. This is why I have called my Talks in Toronto, “Gothic Mysticism: RECLAIMING …… ”

An Asatru Temple Unearthed in Norway. And Then…

The site was old; dating from the fifth century. A circle of stones, 15 meters across and each stone standing a meter high, provided a central focal point. Leading up to the circle was a processional road that had not felt a human foot for a thousand years. To one side there had been a wooden structure supported by strong wooden pillars resting on firm stone footings, but the wood had disappeared long ago. The whole array had been carefully, lovingly buried in peat, preserved from plow and weather, deliberately hidden from those who would harm it, awaiting the day it would be safe to once again acknowledge the old Gods. Surely, those who covered it must have thought, the Christian madness will someday pass and our descendants will be glad that we have saved this for them…

When an intact pre-Christian temple was unearthed in Norway, archeologists were overwhelmed. Comments like “Unique!” and “Unprecedented!” splashed across Internet news pages.

But now, it has been demolished – bulldozed to make way for a housing development.

Could the pagans of old, as they tenderly buried the holiest place they knew, have imagined a world where gold was more important than Gods? Where their own descendants would raze their temple so that the profane houses of thralls would forever crush that which they loved? When the steel blade of the bulldozer bit into the sacred earth, the present spat on the past. The clear intentions of the ancestors were ruthlessly betrayed…for money.

…
.. Who owns the ancestors? Who owns the Gods? Is there a “right” to bulldoze an ancient holy site in Norway or, as has been done, to level an ancient stone circle in Ireland…for profit? The most important things cannot be owned by anyone: I do not “own” my family name. I merely borrow it to pass on, with added honor, to my sons. I do not “own” the genetic and cultural inheritance left me by my forefathers and foremothers; this too I have only borrowed from my ancestors. They are not mine to destroy.

One of the old rune poems says that “Gold causes strife among kinsmen. The wolf grows up in the woods.” … And the wolf…he is none other than Fenris, the wolf restrained only by the bonds of love and kinship that we forge with each other, from generation to generation and across the centuries. When he is loosed, Ragnarok – the great battle at the end of this cycle of time – ensues.

…

The temple so lovingly preserved by Norwegians a thousand years ago emerged in this time and place for a reason. This is the time of Awakening – awakening, that is, if the Gods of honor and valor can win against the gods of gold and whoredom…if men and women will remember the ancestors…if blood runs true.

…
.. I call on Odin and Frigga, Thor and Sif, Frey and Freya! I call on the ancestors all-holy, and the heroes who sleep in the mounds! Let us remember that we are the sons and daughters of warriors and poets, mystics and seers, adventurers and explorers! Even now, the old Gods stir. Organizations dedicated to the indigenous faith of the Northlands – called Asatru, or Odinism, or “Our Faith” or by many other names – exist in many countries. Like the emergence of a forgotten Norwegian hof in 2012, they are here because a wind of awakening blows through the World Tree. Because…it is time.

We will chain the wolf.

Update – The stones from the site have been removed and stored, though the place itself has been “developed,” as they say. To follow the situation, go to the Facebook page “Bevar veet pa Ranheim.” There is a web site at http://ranheimhelligdommensvelforening.wordpress.com/ . We must support this effort in any way we can. I will post more information as I get it.

Unique pagan temple unearthed in Norway

Posted by TANN

A fascinating discovery is shedding light upon pre-Christian Scandinavian religion and early Christian inroads into Norway. In the Norwegian press, this highly important find is being called “unparalleled,” “first of its kind” and “unique,”said to have been “deliberately and carefully hidden” – from invading and destructive Christians.

… Occupied from the 6th or 5th century BCE until the 10th century AD/CE, the site shows signs of usage for animal sacrifice, a common practice among different peoples in antiquity. Over 1,000 years ago, the site was dismantled and covered by a thick layer of peat, evidently to protect it from marauding Christian invaders. ……Animal blood sacrifice The god temple may have been built sometime around or after the year 400 AD, thus used for hundreds of years until the people emigrated to avoid Christianity’s “straitjacket.” It consisted of a stone-set “sacrificial altar” and also traces of a “pole building” that probably housed idols in the form of sticks with carved faces of Thor, Odin, Frey and Freya. Deceased relatives of high rank were also portrayed in this way and attended. Nearby, the archaeologists also uncovered a procession route.

… says Rønne. “Approximately in the middle of the excavation, we had to admit that it was not a burial mound but a sacrificial altar, in the Norse sources called a ‘horg.’ It was made up of both round ‘dome rocks’ and stone slabs. During our work, we found two glass beads, and also some burned bones and traces of a wooden box that had been filled with red-brown sand/gravel and a cracked boiling stone. Among the bones, we found part of a skull and several human teeth. …The latest dating of the god temple is between 895 and 990 AD. Precisely during this period Christianity was introduced by heavy-handed methods into Norway. This meant that many left the country to retain their original god-belief….Unique in Norway 

Large pre-Christian cult sites in Scandinavia – often large settlements with a large central hall, frequently with a smaller attached building – have been found not in Norway, but, rather, in Central and Southern Sweden (Skåne), also in eastern Denmark.
