Just to give you a wide view, I am an Odinist of the Levantine belief, which means I accept those writings that the Scandinavian northern migration began in Southern Turkey before Noah, and that we are the branch of Cain-Enoch off of Adam’s tree.
But when dialoguing with so-called “Asatru” Odinists on Reddit, they found it necessary to make Odin biracial and bisexual, otherwise he couldn’t be “inclusive” to all peoples. Odin as either Enoch or Enoch’s son had a comission like Judah, leading a population north through many hostile lands before finding refuge. In Scandinavia he is deified because he is literally kin and king protector to all white Europeans. But the new Asatru movement tries to paint him as biracial and transsexual, insisting that there were more Africans than Europeans in Germania 100BC (?!?!!) and gay/gender transitory despite the fact that any unmanly behavior provoked challenge, and possible trial by combat in Nordic culture, because the Norse were wary of odd behavior as a precursor to demonic possession (see rates of depression/mental problems in the far North), plus there is no recorded historical instance of a “gay” viking pre-Christianity! Despite this, the Asatru movement insist all Vikings were “hiding in the closet”!
Similarly there is a dividing line among all “old school” nature religions, between those that hold to a traditional view that “if it is against nature, it is against Faith”, and those that proselytize “’Love’ is higher than God and Nature, so God and Nature must conform” and actually believe transexualism is closer to a divine state (ptooie). Old school Odinists/Pagans who hold “Gods are straight, Nature is not a mistake” are routinely labeled as homophobic Neo-Nazis hiding their latent homosexuality. In other words the Newest-New Age belief is that everyone is gay, heteros are in denial, and therefore God is gay if we are made in his-her image, and all other faiths teaching otherwise are dismissed on the charge of homophobia and that they are not embracing their hidden holy gayness, lol.
Often when I’ve seen instances of Code Pink or others targeting anti-abortion churches, I’ve thought the Christians need to invite old school Odinists/Pagans who cannot abide “anti-nature” to provide security, because our faith promotes taking a piece out of theirs rather than “turning ours” ;) Just pile up our plates at the church supper afterwards!! :))
Ain’t make believe FUN!
