The Gyger of Landegode

In the olden days, there lived a great gyger [a troll wife] out on Landegode. As she thought it was far too lonely to live so alone on the desolate island out in the sea, far away from other trolls and gygers, she called to the blueman, who lived in the mountains within Saltenfjord, and asked if he didn’t want her to wife, because she so wanted to get married. Yes, he certainly would, but only on the condition that she should first take Landegode and carry it to Blåmannsfjell; for he had been annoyed for many long ages that the neighbouring mountain of Sulitjelma), was so much higher and prouder than Blåmannsfjell, in which he lived. If she could get his house as high as Sulitjelma, he would marry her, any day of the week. Well, it could easily be done, the gyger thought, and so she set to work. But when she had Landegode tied well to her back, the sun shone, and then she turned into a huge rock, which you can still see standing out on Landegode, and which people call “Landego-gjuri” [literally, “Landegod-udder,” as two peaks on the island are fancied to resemble a woman’s breasts]. And the blueman, he stood for so long, looking for his sweetheart, that he forgot to pack himself back into his mountain, and so he also turned to stone. To this day he may be seen standing in the mountains, with his skis on his feet; the tips of his skis protrude from the snow that covers the top of the mountain.

– Legend from Skjerstad, as told by schoolteacher A. Vesterlid.

To be a pagan is to be yourself. But not the one you try to be only to fit the preferences of others. To be a pagan is to be your true self, without the zombifying effect of the surrounding mediocrity.

“A people who submits to a foreign spirit, eventually loses all their own good qualities and, along with those qualities, their very identities.”

Indo-European pagan kingdoms and tribes couldn’t have willingly converted to Christianity, because it would mean rejecting their native spiritual heritage, which is ancestral tribal system of beliefs, traditions, customs, etc… They wouldn’t have disrespected their own ancestors by throwing away like unwanted garbage their indigenous faith, traditions, and way of life.

You don’t need to be a scholar of pagan Indo-European cultures to know the immense importance they’ve placed on ancestry, and so they would not carelessly discard the gods of their forefathers, and foremothers.

This is seriously messed up. They know where you are.

Nobody has ever needed to be taught "acceptance" to get them to accept something which was actually good for them.

I watched Dave Cullen's latest video concerning Transhumanism and the soul. I usually enjoy Dave's take on things but there's something here I feel compelled to comment on...

As far as I know, Dave considers himself a Christian. He chides Transhumanists for their apparent belief in the fallibility of the human condition, and how they seek to transcend death and the individual self; how they try to deconstruct everything natural rather than accepting its inherent beauty, no matter how fleeting it may be. Dave speaks for many Christians who claim to oppose this attitude towards life and death.

And yet, I struggle to see how a Christian can reconcile this sort of worldview with that of Original Sin. Not only does Original Sin place man as an inherently flawed being; it also (as I understand it) places death as the result of that sin:

"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned." (Epistle to the Romans, 5:12-21)

It seems to me that Christianity and Transhumanism share a fundamental belief in the imperfection of man and in the desire to transcend death. Conversely, Pagans celebrate the wonders of this existence, accepting sexual intercourse, birth and death as intrinsic aspects of Æ (the 'cosmic order' of the Anglo-Saxons) or Dharma, rather than as aberrations. The Christian belief in Original Sin is cancerous enough on its own, that men of noble spirit should seek to turn from it and back to their ancestral ways.
