In the preChristian era, there were a plethora of personal savior mystery cults, with many containing the same suffering passion and resurrection narrative later seen with the Gospels. Thing is, we know none of these savior figures existed. Why is the Jewish savior the exception?

My Yule company has moved in. The PreChristian burial rites of offering gifts to ancestors went to offering food to ‘haugkallen’ to ‘nisser’ in the barn. ‘Nisser’ come in all shapes and forms, and I appreciate their strong presence in modern Yule traditions 🎅🏻🇳🇴 #folklore #nisse

Don't mind me, just sharing how stately and beautiful #Tenochtitlan and other #Mexica #Aztec cities were. ❤️

Note the Christian prayer still carries links to the PreChristian goddess with mention of her fire & of the sun. In ancient tales St Bridget’s association with fertility also included her carrying out abortions, too. Harry Clarke’s St Bridget in Ballinarobe (1924)

In a similar vein, we meet the masked men of Mecerreyes in Burgos, Spain. Using natural materials and cloth, these Mascaras serve a similar protective purpose. Bonfires allow for the release of pent-up energies in this obscure prechristian ritual.

I'm really starting to think we need a new religion that incorporates:

*Reincarnation
(A metaphor for race)

*Perennialism
(Timelessness)

*Ancestor veneration

*Buddhistic elements

*Honoring nature

*Honoring Christian & preChristian Europeans
