Can we reclaim the Paganism that was stolen by the Christians? Temples, robes, chants, symbols, certain holiday and their traditions are all rooted in Paganism which the early Christians took and adopted into their religion.

In his 1878 Essay on the Development of the Christian Doctrine, Cardinal John H. Newman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Newman) wrote:

"In the course of the fourth century two movements or developments spread over the face of Christendom, with a rapidity characteristic of the Church; the one ascetic, the other ritual or ceremonial. We are told in various ways by Eusebius [Note 16], that Constantine, in order to recommend the new religion to the heathen, transferred into it the outward ornaments to which they had been accustomed in their own. It is not necessary to go into a subject which the diligence of Protestant writers has made familiar to most of us. The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [Note 17], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.." http://www.newmanreader.org/works/development/chapter8.html

Many Christian primitivists such as the Bible Students / Jehova's Witnesses correctly describe our customs as pagan, i.e. Germanic or Indo-European, in origin and therefore refuse to celebrate Yule and the other seasonal feasts, birthdays etc. and hold religious services devoid of art and beauty.

We can point to them when challenged about our reappropriation, but things should go smoothest if we simply accept the traditions in the shapes they currently have and step by step enhance their Germanic content by replacing overtly Christian elements with the Germanic equivalents they previously displaced. I think Red Ice achieved this rather nicely with their segment explaining the origins of the Lucia celebration.

I have noticed some Abrahamites trying to stir anti-Germanic sentiment on /pol/ by pretending to be followers of the old customs while rudely denouncing "Christmas" in all its forms. Since the only way to restore order is for each of us to become dominant in society, we must avoid to be seen as rebellious troublemakers and should instead take our cues from the kings of old, e.g. Athanareiks.

It's easy, just follow all the practices we know of due to the thoughtful and determined documentation by Christians. :^)
