/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

That's not what i said at all. Nice strawman though faggot, LOL

It's exectly what you Said anon.

Synthwave/retrowave/futurefash is a fun genre, I've made some ff shit myself.

But asatru being a nature religion doesn't seem compatible with that cyberpunk aesthetic, no.

Why the hell did you insult me for no reason faggot?

I like a lot of futuristic aesthetics. Personally I find it dumb that a lot of Heathens have such a hard-on for anything that pre-dates them but seem to have no interest in whatever might come after them. I love pictures of guys in chaimail with spears and shields, I love nice rustic aesthetics and on some level I wish I lived long ago and could just fucking sail to exciting new lands for trade or whatever else, but equally technological progress is a huge part of what our species is "about".

As a pagan, where Christians see us as fallen angels, you should see us as rising beasts and embrace that we're meant to keep growing in all the ways we can. "Nature" does not just mean "trees and animals"; it means the universe doing what it does and all life within it following its destiny as natural law dictates and humanity - the better branches of it, at least - has a future based on higher understanding of nature destined for it.

Our gods are in our blood; they'll follow us into space, don't worry.

What this anon said

there is nothing inherently anti nature about futurism or sythwave or space travel or any of that shit. Humans do what is in OUR nature, which is to develop technology. the only downside to this is the gradual degradation of the spirit and degeneration of society because an overabundance of unneeded genes.

National socialism was the answer to this because it stemmed both the flow of lesser genes in society while continually advancing technology forwards, and look at the results they made.

"Nature" is the entire cosmos and all the laws that follow it, that includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, anatomy and all that crap. What do you think Hermetics and Alchemy are about? Those are some of the earliest instances of organized Aryan science, and it was essentially a nature worship religion as well, only it focused on chemical properties and physics and worshiped that aspect as the true way of understanding god.

All the pagan religions and philosophies were based on observations of nature; our faith should only be strengthened by the discovering of more of its properties and mechanisms.

There is not "compatability" question implicit to this pairing. What made the simple folk songs of the ancient heathens "compatible" with their practices? Nothing. Musical taste is a damned subjective thing and any magics woven through it as personal as the one voice who sings them.

Rather, and strangely, it is Christianity who probably has the most wise response to this behavior! (Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day!) Christians have fought witht he spectre of "youth culture" invading their theology now for quite a few years. "Extreme" trends which tried to tie skater culture and heavy metal culture with Christianity tried to propagate their memes through those chosen mediums.

The problem for them was that people grow intellectually with time and move on from the boring ruins of what once made their blood to pump, their bodies grow older and cannot climb the same hills no matter how willing the heart may be. And if you tie the concept of what is sacred into these mostly frivolous matters then it too has a tendency to be lost with time.

Spirituality is not a fad. The edifying, nourishing stream of all the animate universe is not of your favorite music. While animist religions do not make the same types of distinctions between the natural world and the "supernatural" world as monotheists do, that does not mean everything you enjoy is inherently holy!

Learn to set aside that which is holy! This is the point of vestments and altars, music set aside specifically for solemn practices, and sacred ground; to demark and set aside these things as something special to train the broad and wandering attentions of the human mind into a single, sacred focus for a time.

If you are going to participate in a religion, and I do mean ANY religion at all, you are going to have to accept that "nothing is sacred" is a lie at some point and act accordingly. Self discipline is not fun, but a measure of it in every day is as essential as a measure of frivolous fun is! And the two, by definition, need to be separated.

This is not an Asatru "truth", or a Christian "truth" or even a religious "truth". It's just a matter of practicality.

I agree with you anon but im conflicted because i had a liberal youth before discovering my roots and a have an issue with rap music, i enjoy it far too much. is that music reconcilable with this belief system?

No and you're a traitor to your people if you continue listening to it.
