>hereas such a thing seems to not have been present among the Germanic tribes before.

killing outlaws is described as being an activity equal in honor to killing wolves. I think it's pretty obvious the ancestors didn't like the fucking things so much.

I think it's a matter of disorganised villages vs. Cromwell england, or the carolingian empire having the actual capability to exterminate wolves en masse.

1. Would never personally do it because of the rareness of wolves in most areas, especially europe and the lower parts of north america. I also believe wolves are sacred, given their connection to allfather. I probably wouldnt judge someone for wolf hunting though, even if I would not approve or be friends with them.

2. i dont fucking know, i think it has more to do with industrialization than jewishness, although some see these as one in the same.

Also theres a weird little thing in the myth of Fenris the wolf where the gods are about to kill the demon, until they decide it would do ill to spill wolves blood in Asgard. Its unclear if this is because wolves blood is sacred, or because it is cursed. I think the hatred of wolves extends even back to Germanic tribes, but it was less of a hatred and more of fear/awe. They were seen as mysterious creatures of the forest, always in stalking distance of humans and picking off the weak when they could, but otherwise avoiding us.

Also sorry if this sounds mean, but I really hope you posted that picture ironically because its one of the edgiest pagan things ive ever seen

It's most likely learningchode/the anti-germanic spammer from 4chon. He constantly used this exact pic in the past for his shitposts there.

it's actually because frith must be maintained in sacred spaces, and drawing weapons and killing is a breach of frith.

but it specifically says wolves blood, I dont remember the exact phrase but one of the gods suggests that they cannot kill the pup because "wolves blood" would stain asgard

My opinion is the same as with any other kind of hunting. Hunt, but respect nature and don't be wasteful.

If they're endangered, don't hunt them at all. In general, I wouldn't do it unless they'd been a nuisance to your animals. If you do kill one, just make sure to make good use of its fur at least.

1. Take what you need, use all you take respectfully, give back what can be given to ensure a balanced stability of abundance remains for your children. Protect your nest as any animal does, but do not prowl about seeking enemies where none have trespassed.

2. On the British side of my ancestry, I get my family name from a village near Cheshire England dating back to about the year 1100 CE. Our family crest is of a bloodied, disembodied wolf head as the eldest named patriarch of our lineage was a wolf slayer of legendary repute. This was by no means an isolated practice either, and it predates Cromwell by a full half millennia! I sincerely doubt my namesake elder was the first.
