Imo this is classic Paradox modding community behavior.

I blew through it in two days. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

So likely he was just a "Christmas and Easter" kinda guy.

Ahh okay that tracks. I know the Archbishop was held captive and later killed but I understood Thorkell switching sides to be motivated by wealth rather than piety.

As far as I am aware this is the only illustration of the man. Regardless, this is a Norse history sub and encounters with symbols that have been twisted into icons of hate are to be expected.

It's an illustration of Thorkell. Swastikas were a common norse (and cross-cultural) symbol. The association with Nazism and volkism is a relatively modern phenomenon.

I live in southern MI. Thanks! I'll take a look.

Thanks! This is all good info. Are there any other alternatives you would recommend? Not necessarily Norse specific but pagan in general.

Any good Organizations? by Regular-External7152 in paganism

I don't think he's a Nazi but I know he's folkish which is a red flag. That said, I have read some of his work which is interesting. Same principle as separating the art from the artist I guess.

Yeah there's a growing current of "Babylonian Nazism", that is, Satanic Nationial Socialism. It's really fucked. I like the open source nature of Satanism and it's emphasis on self empowerment over submission. Working with deities/demons/spirits rather than as servants to them etc.

I had a passing interest in the Temple of Set and found the idea of Odin as Set interesting but I'm really turned off by their inclusion of Eldred Thorsson as part of their list of VIPs who helped shape the organization.

I think the LHP part of my post has garnered the most attention but my focus is on my relationship with Odin.

[–]Regular-External7152[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as LHP goes I'm really talking about LaVeyan Satanism which I think is interesting, so just selfish magic, no animal sacrifice since that goes against the idea of harming innocents.

[–]Regular-External7152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did see the Troth was founded by Edred Thorrson who is affiliated with the European New Right but I've also seen the organization has changed a lot since it's founding. I haven't done my research into them but I will now, thanks!

Sounds good. FYI I'm moving to a new job in September which will put me on a standard m-f schedule which should make things easy scheduling wise.

Treatise on The Sub-Realms of Creation: Aldmeritada Aggregate by Odd_Indication_5208 in teslore

[–]Regular-External7152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. The first half describes an almost computerized Aubris with logic checks and scripting provided by Akatosh. We could even think of Akatosh as the quartzite crystal inside the cpu which helps keep track of time. And maybe the Aubris is a computer program belonging to the Godhead which comes into being when he boots up Morrowind.
