From what I’ve read there’s little to none surviving accounts as to what their actual rituals were. Any ritual performed now would be 99% fiction. So yes cos-play or dress up done by grown children.

vlad Guaranteed to happen since 1517. It was just a matter of time and human nature.

Exactly.

From 1517 we start off with

1. Lutherans who keep the True Presence in the Eucharist, baptism, etc.
2. Calvinists who junk the True Presence
3. Baptists who junk the baptism
4. Adventists who junk Jesus saying he's the archangel Michael
5. Jehovah's Witnesses who say he's not god
6. Mormons who say he's one of multiple gods
7. Unitarians who junk everything
8. Astru - pagans

This was inevitable.

I doubt that “the Norse religion existed already in 500 BC, and probably goes back another 1,000 years prior to that”

It was a few years ago but I don't think I said that.

I said that the current crop are posers who have no idea what their worship requires at least in the historical sense.

I would give you a detailed run down but I have to scram if I want to be on time for evening service so let me know if you want to talk more about ancient religions.

One of my favorite subjects.

30 years ago I saw the rise in my generation of neo paganism most were at best unreligious people who would claim to worship the old gods becouse it sounded cool to say. for a lot of theses individuals they are Larping at it and not serius. I am sure that some are serious but not many. Start talking philosophical with a lot of theses so called pagans and they turn off becouse they truly dont want enlightenment the want a magical belief system that does not call for self examination.

When I left home for college in ‘68, there were students who were into the cosplay and make-believe, too-they claimed to be into paganism, Eastern religion or a mix of both, but they didn’t seem to really know much about any of it other than to dress up in what they thought pagans had worn, get drunk and/or stoned, get naked, dance around fires in the woods, have sex, etc-even as a clueless country girl, it looked like dress up and make believe to me-this Iceland thing sounds pretty much the same...

[Cronos]

Sure, I focus on indo European religions and Semitic pre Judaic. No idea about African or East Asian pantheons

Well, if they are only going to build it in a thousand years, I can wait.

Europe has come full circle now.

A great falling away

The Church's ultimate trial

• 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576
• 676 The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgment. The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,577 especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.578
• 677 The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection.579 The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven.580 God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgment after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world.581

Ain’t nothin’ to do with anything jesus-ee, it is something to do with honoring their ancestral HERITAGE, amidst the EU lemmings rush to import and embrace all those mohammedans.

I say good for them.

the conversion of Iceland was a community decision. And Christianity gave people an alternative to the murderous blood feuds at that time.

But Iceland has a below replacement birth rate, so give it a century or two and the immigrants will replace them. Most of these immigrants come from Noric countries but the largest percentage of immigrants are Polish (20 thousand or more), and the immigrants include a thousand Filipinos.

Meaning that there is a small but growing Catholic Christian population there.
