@sigridolsson4178 lol ... interesting it only now occurred to me that this must be the origin of the now English term smorgasbord. It's honestly almost embarrassing since I was a professional fine ding cook for over 20 years ...🤦🤣

@sigridolsson4178 It's interesting how languages and traditions developed and changed a bit once it got to the Americas, many things were forgotten, others were melded with their our neighbors. In the part of the US my family migrated to was majority Dutch, German, Scandinavian and Polish, along with the local native tribes. So people stuck together because of things like common languages and cultures, I know my family didn't switch to speaking English until after being here for 6 generations...yeah we can be stubborn lol So many people in the US have lost track of their roots to the point where they don't even know what country their ancestors came from, but even then it's still there in the language we use without ever really thinking about it. I hear so much trash about "white people don't have any culture" sort of shit these days and it's so frustrating when they are surrounded by "white culture and traditions" all the time but take it for granted with no thought to where these things came from. While I don't really care for the tilte"white ppl" because not all of us are the same we have our own cultures and traditions...sadly the Christian church did a lot of damage when they decided to wipe our beliefs from history and replace them with twisted childish and evil stories to fit their narrative. I hope very much that one day we can help guide our people back to their roots where they can find that missing pieces, but it's challenging to approach since we aren't the type to forcefully try to convert people ...and I would rather have less real pagans than lots of larpy wicca types etc. calling themselves something they don't understand. I think that the internet and the ability to contact each other and share information...just knowing that so many people are looking in this direction now gives me some hope. Now we just need to figure out how to share the wisdom with others while debunking all the lies and misconceptions spread over time, history media. I just fear people coming from Christianity and bringing some of their worst habits with them, I have seen all sorts of "neo pagans" asking creators to make a "Norse Bible" for them to follow....they want to bring the dogma and literalism and be told what to do and how to act 🤦. Maybe sometimes gatekeeping isn't so bad after all... 😆

Me I don't like having so much bread unless you absolutely need it to keep the sandwich together...some get pretty messy. But my family often did the same so maybe it is a cultural thing.

@sigridolsson4178 It's basically used to refer to a wonderful platter of foods or group of foods laid out together..a feast ..almost like a really great buffet in modern days i guess lol

@justforfunsies5000 Well the comparison was meant more as to nature itself, I used "wild" to differentiate between indoor household pets....not the best wording but it was very late/early and I was in a lot of pain which can be quite distracting. Yes but the legends of the gods showing up at your home they approached in human form (*usually) and interacted with someone from that household ...didn't just break in to your house*. I'm saying that certain types of "worship" were done in different places for different reasons. But honestly at the end of the day yes I would associate the gods with the natural world especially certain places in nature as well as animals , it all goes back to animism. Also remember that our beliefs did vary a bit depending on what part of the Germanic tribes and time period you are focused on....I'm not straight Norse , I'm also Frisian/Dutch and German so that's something to keep in mind when addressing people here, not everyone here are the exact same sort of pagan. I have been what I am spiritually because it's what I remember from my earlier lives, I have been this way for as long as I can recall both in this life and before, it's quite literally wired in my being at this point...so I'm not a convert or new to it. I linked some very cool videos in my last comment by a Slavic pagan writer that go into household deities, as well as household alters to ones ancestors.

Ok can someone link me the right Facebook page please? I accidentally just joined an actual cringe pagan group ...I couldn't seem to find the right one. There were posts doing almost exactly what this video is about 🤣

@randomusername5242 yes I know that I don't even use FB but had gone on looking to check out the group he made, I wasn't trying to join a random group. Unless you are trying to tell me that I did find the right page and it's cringe as fuck? 🤣

@randomusername5242 Well the one I found myself in may as well have been his inspiration for his cringe pagan videos, they had ton of PC speech rules for max censorship...which at first I thought was just to placate FB..lol I hadn't been on FB in years and the first thing I see is a bunch of retarded lefty punk memes, they were so bad I felt ashamed to know the ppl posting that cringe. It was quite literally just a picture of Ben Shapiro with captions saying something along the lines of "imagine if this guy was the guitar player for the punk band your going to see" .....😐☠️ The left really are terribly at memes, I was nearly speechless 😂

If you want to have an indoor alter and stay true to traditions an ancestral alter is usually placed above the hearth in some pagan cultures, or you could burry a dead loved one under a cornerstone... But the ancestral alter is just for your dead famil/ancestors not the gods or nature sprits etc. as outside is the proper place to make offerings to them....if you wanted to feed a wild animal you don't put the food in your house.

Here are a couple of videos about ancestral alters + It's a great Slavic pagan channel, he's also a writer and artist. https://youtu.be/ztF05zJ5KYs https://youtu.be/7Z-hKEEd6MQ

@sigridolsson4178 yep and now here in the US they are acting like they are victims of religious persecution, sure people are putting up with less crap from them, and there was definitely widespread abuse of power during the pandemic that also affected their churches, but it's wasn't just them...they can't take a grain of sand compared to the mountain they tried to burry us under. Yes I have always found it so odd how especially Catholic and Orthodox Christians followed so many twisted versions of our traditions, the protestants weren't wrong about their accusations on that matter...lol Hopefully it will make the switch easier for new comers from those religious backgrounds.
