@mwol5473 Not all Latinos are Aztec or Mayan, or indigenous for that matter, *or from Mexico or Central America. ...But Mexico has over 500 tribes, my dude. And when, please remind me, did we start liking being dictated to? I didn't get that memo.

Veles is still recognized and known by many Slavs & that recognition is growing, along with the Slavic pantheon, in Rodnovary for instance. I've met some in that community. I have seen Slava translated as glory. Slava written as Слава has cropped up in the last couple of years in a different context as I'm sure you've seen. Nice to hear the word & concept of it gets to have a peaceful celebratory usage too! My understanding of Nicholas comes from the Netherlands Nikolaas, Sinterklaas, different guy, patron of those same things and also unmarried girls. I grew up among many Dutch in New York state and we all, whatever our heritage, put out wooden shoes Dec 5th with a carrot & hay for his horse & found chocolate coins & spice cookies there in the morning. Among us girls it was in recognition that we have the right to choose, not be sold off / forcibly married off to whoever our father ordered us to marry. 😂 He used to put coins in stockings or shoes left by a hearth to dry for ancient girls to pay their own dowry so they too could choose, & it eventually changed how life goes for us. The one that's the bishop from Myra, did too, it is said. So I don't know if that interests you, but that's how he's recognized over here.

When you can easily google the history of a place and someone's impact on it, don't 😂expect an individual to spoon feed to you what would take 15 minutes to search but an hour or two to type just an overview of. Look. It. Up. 🤷😁 I'm just saying. It's not a matter of his opinion, it's actual documented history. Go read. And don't be mad at me bc it's actually a bit uppity to expect a random person to do your research for you. Well, it is. Have a good one! 😉😁🤙

@zackistheman1155 I had said that to someone else whose comment is now gone. I said it bc they were sealioning, trying to get you to teach a whole class in what you'd already summed up, but clearly to argue about it for attention, the long con type troll. What I wrote tends to make them go do it elsewhere. It wasn't in response to your comments.

I was not telling you to google things, but the sealion who wasn't expert at being covert, lol. I'd seen that user name elsewhere in comments, & their mainstream-ish conversion agenda. I was assuming you did not want to be converted to Christianity.... That was their end goal, & I felt like shutting it down. Not that you couldn't.

@zackistheman1155 (I had 100% not responded to your comment but to that troll's bc I agree & you covered it. ) Shoulda tagged them, sorry.

@bezoticallyyours83 it was not over forced conversion, though, or imperialism. That's the difference. There are levels to invasion. Norwegians at least raided & went on about their business, for instance! 😂 Finns mostly stayed in Suomi & minded their biz. But when Christians invaded or went to war they applied religion itself as a justification, a motive, a scapegoat. Conflict ought at least to be honest ffs. Vikings weren't pretending the other place was heathen lol just, those monks have loot, let's go! That is somehow more honest than pretending God Said I Can Kill You bc You're Not Just Like Me while spouting "thou shalt not kill." I mean, at least own your real motive, man. And let people keep their own beliefs. Ya don't actually have to wipe out identity in order to swipe land, goods, or whatever.

@bezoticallyyours83 Yeah lol, I don't think so. You think Vikings were forcing people to convert & christianity wasn't? What are you on about there? 😂 I prefer my trolls Scandinavian & mythological or at least able to comprehend comments. And out of my face. See ya. 🤙🙄😂

I have come across some really good sources in YouTube but also surprisingly, in Pinterest, without any of the drama nonsense & arguing & sheer fiction that persists in places like Twitter & TikTok. It has a search engine to find any topic & like here things can be saved either publicly or privately. If it exists, someone has probably saved it there & it tends to be reliable sources, from all over the world. Search engines keep giving me local results or asking if I want local results, & assume I can't click to translate. (Ad algorithms are in play). Pinterest lets me easily find source material from where something actually is or is from & how to do just about anything for that matter. I had not expected it to show me so much on cultures and paganism, but it has far more than searching browser, & shows me things I did not yet know to look up, that are related to other things I saved there, which is helpful. I scroll past the rest much faster too. It's not something that seems to be common knowledge, the pagan info in there, so maybe someone seeking an easier way to look will see this, & be helped. But I ve seen none of what bothered you there & more mature communication, so I thought it might interest you to know. I've seen no judgement or wild assumptions or dictating beliefs, at all, just sharing of valid info.

@skin4700 The spirit of generosity too. ... & He's also the patron of thieves, lol, especially those who have stopped it. And here we are on a video about Vikings... There's a joke in there somewhere I'm too sleepy right now to find. 😂 Thanks for telling me what you did. 🦌🌲🥀
