The father god and ruler of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Perhaps the most important of all the Celtic deities, Dagda (sometimes referred to as ‘The Dagda’) was worshiped by the Celts as the god of magic, wisdom, and fertility.

Dagda’s many fine possessions indicate the array of his talents. His magical club could kill with a strike from one side and restore life with a blow from the other. The weapon was so big that it could injure more than one man at a time, and Dagda had to drag it behind him on two wheels.

His cauldron could provide an endless supply of food for the gods. His fruit trees were always ready to harvest. Of his two swine, one was always roasting upon a spit while the other was always alive.

His harp could summon the seasons.

In various stories, Dagda is named as the son, the father, and sometimes the husband of the mother goddess Danu. His wife is usually given as Bóand. He also mates with Mórrígan at the start of the new year. His many children include Angus Óg, Bodb Derg, Brigit, and Midir.

Dagda killed many Fomorians in the second battle of Mag Tuired. But this battle ended his career, for he was killed there by Caitlín, wife of the Fomorian leader Balor.

In the middle of the second battle of Mag Tuired, the Fomorians and the Tuatha Dé Danann called a truce. The fighting halted for a short time, but neither side let its guard down. The Fomorians kept themselves busy looking for ways to gain the advantage over their adversaries. They thought that if they could distract the great father god, they might be able to win the battle. They also knew that Dagda had a weakness for porridge, his favorite food, so they decided to concoct a porridge of superhuman proportions.

The Fomorians began by digging a massive crater in the earth. They poured in enough milk to satisfy an entire village for one year. Then they added enough fat to supply an entire kingdom for two years. Next they added enough meal to feed every man, woman, and child in an entire province for three years. Then, for good measure, they threw iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Found this article on Heathen Harvest. It is dated by five months, so old news but worth mentioning (didn't see it anywhere on the catalogue).

It is a response to a sloppily researched article by VICE magazine (aren't they all?) about the "violent racism" prevalent in folkish Asatru painting McNallens group as goosestepping Nazis no different than the Aryan Brotherhood.

Here is the original Vice article (archived to avoid VICE getting shekels): https://archive.is/UQIap

And the Heathen Harvest article: http://heathenharvest.org/2015/05/12/contra-vitium-how-vice-mischaracterized-a-religious-movement/

The Heathen Harvest rebuttal is pretty good as it argues in a moderate way which would garner sympathy from outsiders who may otherwise be turned off by any sort of indigenous European tribalism (couches the argument within the paradigm of multiculturalism and preserving religious minorities).

I have become fairly efficient in mental travel and evocation of entities.

I require deities other than Kek and Eris. Chaos alone won't fulfil my needs.

Tell me about who I can go to for magickal knowledge, love, physical cultivation, and various other matters?

Otherwise I'm going to have to chaos magick this shit and invent new egregores, but that's going to take a long-ass time to do. I especially want right now a deity that can help me find the perfect wife, so I don't make any mistakes there, and end up with a wife that is truly for me.

That's a strawman argument, no one who's done their research actually believes this.

What we believe about Jews is that they are a foreign culture, and that we have a right to maintain our unique cultural identies as white pagans.

The Jews have their own ethno-religion, it's called Judaism. Well, Asatru is ours. No one's telling you to stop practicing (((Christianity))), if you want to be a cuck that's no one's loss but your own.

Hello /asatru/

I've always been very interested in norse mythology, and especially the sides of it that deals with nature and our ancestors' spirituality concerning it.

Here in my country, we have this organization called Forn Sidr that I heard about many years ago and decided to investigate, and while they do indeed claim to practice asatru, they came across more like a hobby club than an actual religious circle. They talked very little about any kind of actual religious beliefs and a lot more about how we should all just get together and talk it out and come up with our own idea of what Asatru should be in modern times. While I think it's fine that they're open to new ideas, it put me off too, because it made it seem like it was more like a roleplaying club that held very little regard for the traditions and ideas of the old ways.

My first question here is, is there really enough information regarding the viking beliefs to revive this "dead" religion and provide genuine answers to spiritual questions in modern day, or will it always just be a corrupted and modernized imitation?

My second question is, I'm aware there's a lot of neo-nazi connections to "Wodenism", and that many Scandinavian and Germanic ultranationalists look to ancestor-worship more for its justifications for their political beliefs than any genuine religious conviction. Is that something that takes up a lot of space in the various Asatru circles? Do you find it's generally accepted, or do the "true believers" shun those who use the faith as a political tool?

Thirdly, both Islam and Christianity has tons of secondary literature on their primary sources, i.e the Koran and the Bible. Could you recommend me literature on this religion, apart from the Eddas? Has anyone written about the Eddas and what they mean in a religious sense?

>My first question here is, is there really enough information regarding the viking beliefs to revive this "dead" religion and provide genuine answers to spiritual questions in modern day

we know enough to recreate several varieties of ritual, to the point that, in form, asatru can be about as complex (if not a but more rustic) as a typical catholic ritual.

we know enough from sagaic literature, the eddas, and various legal codes to make a rough estimate as to what our ancestors found to be moral. following gragas, havamal and the various nuanced moral implications presented in the eddas would be about as complex as following the mosaic law.

so in terms of having a religion that's roughly as complex as other living religions, we can indeed do it.

>will it always just be a corrupted and modernized imitation?

it will never be the exact same as what it was in the year 900ad, or in the year 200ad, or before…but the religion of 900ad must have seemed a corruption of the year 200's etc.

most modern religions are a far cry from their original forms and are all "corrupted". compare modern judaism to essene judaism, or the henotheistic yahwism of 600 or so BC.

compare modern shinto to the shinto of the time of the kojiki.

compare the catholic church to the 1st century church (hint: they have very different theories of atonement that change alot about the meaning of christ).

all religions are "corrupted" by time.

>Is that something that takes up a lot of space in the various Asatru circles?

you'll definitely see it, and even in this community it exists, but it's not everywhere.

I wouldn't say they have roots in hellenic paganism, more that they have roots in ancient Greece as their model to strive towards. Greece after all is almost entirely eastern orthodox christians. I doubt we're going to see this turn into the Greek version of the Nasjonal Samling and go full pagan. If the Golden Dawn win the coming elections we are going to see a strong nationalist party come to power and wipe its nation clean of evil foreign influence, and possible some ethnic cleansing if we're lucky. They golden dawn will be good for European people in general, but it won't do any good for paganism unless they have a major shift in religious policy.

I put on my most volkisch clothing, cooked some biscuits (I make damn good biscuits) and cut up a cucumber (the first vegetable we've harvested from the garden this year)

I filled my drinking horn with milk because I don't have alcohol and went to my small stonepile altar.

I called upon my ancestors and the land spirits and Freyr, said a prayer, and took a bite of the foods before tearing the rest up and putting it around the altar. I then poured some milk and drank the rest. Not exactly le noble burger sacrifice but oh well

Hey asatru, I have a problem. I follow asatru to the best of my ability (not many places around here where I can buy Nordic things), but I have thoughts of being a female. I know most heathens stance on being a tranny, and I agree. It's a mental illness. Is there anything I can do to quell these thoughts so I can get some peace of mind? I've already quit jerking away my testosterone but it just made my urges worse. Thanks for your help.

The harshest side of me would say that you, merely having these thoughts, means you should be euthanized.

The gentler side of me would say you should just not think about it and focus on being a man. As Marcus Aurelius said, "Do not think evil thoughts, and evil actions shall not follow"

How nice. The only arguments that were "intelligent" fit into your predisposed belief system. Convenient.

What type of rituals do you do?

If you're theistic, have you ever experienced anything which you're certain was "supernatural"?

Is there any books on these types of rituals? I watched a documentary a long time ago and remember something about rituals that are considered externally dangerous to attempt, I would do them if I knew how to.

Also, what do you guys believe?

How can you interpret the ancient paganism metaphorically? What is there to learn from it? It's just a bunch of myths that the ancients used to explain shit they didn't understand. "It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit."

I'm new to all of this stuff… So links to places where I can read ancient texts and shit would be appreciated.

/asatru/, what are your opinions on the Mithraic mysteries?

Unlike what some people believe Mithraic mysteries are uniquely European and the Mithraic Mithras has little if anything to do with the Persian Mithras, almost all of the Mithraic mystery temples are located in Western Europe and are centered around Rome.

I really like Mithra as a way to bridge the gap between various pagan European groups out there.

Mithras was at one point incorporated into all of the religions of the European parts of the Roman empire but almost none of the religions from outside of Europe.

Regretfully most of the believes and traditions have disappeared because of the secrecy of the cult, but thanks to it's rivalry with Christianity and it's links with pagans religions and especially the Sol Invictus cult we do know about some of the rituals, traditions and believes.

Could we build on these few things to create a new Mithras cult? A mystery cult that stands for all European peoples and against our invaders.

There's something fishy about the Mithras cult. They're know as one of the last great pagan cults, but quite likely they operated as a sort of fifth column with Christian sympathies.

We know jackshit about them besides the imagery of their temples and initiators ranks as they very much valued staying mysterious.

Trying to reconstruct them would be like some isolated tibetan goatherder who never saw a bible in his life being tasked with guessing the theology of christianity right by showing him an empty church.

Also it was a men only club liked by soldiers primarily, does not seem like a religion for the people.
