Why didn't early European pagans write down their beliefs? Save for ancient Greeks/Romans, but they documented everything. Most of what we know about celtic/norse paganism was written down by medieval Christian monks. Why do Neo-Pagans have the gall to call these people traitors and christcucks?

Because the retards were to dumb to invent paper lmao
Writing wasn't a thing.
yes it was, the oldest book in europe was written before christianity, about the orphic hymns.
Because they were too busy burning the women and raping the churches
They were retarded, I bless them and curse them to this day.
Now we're left trying to work out their ideals and philosophy
Christcucks still worship the jew though.
They did, they just didn’t compose it entirely. See rune stones. There is power in oral story telling, it connects you to the generation before. It was not because they were stupid, being stupid is a Christian invention
true
we didnt even know how to build stone castles before the benedictine monks came over here and taught us
>feels bad man
>bcuz writing iz inferior!!1!
>angryvarg.jpeg
Date of book? Where written and in what language?
What do you mean Rome built great palaces. Castles just weren’t invented yet, but stone work was
they were writtings, they were all destroyed, christians spent centuries hunting down and destroying every bit of pre christian knowledge and culture they found
how do you not know this seriously
For the Germans and Celts: According Caesar in his Commentaries (awesome read btw and better Audiobook) the Germans basically worshiped nature and weren't very religious. The Celts forbade writing their religious texts down by the Druid class.
The Greeks and Romans had books, but they were destroyed by the Christians or were lost thru the ages.
This. We were a lot more advanced then you think
They did not care
They lived in their tribes and the knowledge was given by the word
Later of course there were things written down, but it got destroyed
It was very common in Indo-European (actually a lot of cultures) to not write it down. Oral tradition was a much more personal connection and writing it down would mean it would be forgotten amongst the people eventually. Active engagement with the community with folk tales and stories were much more important.
But a lot of them have been recreated and the important part of religion is the community and values, not so much the word for word recounts.
Runic writing was a thing, that's a fact. Most of the artifacts and places of worship that held these writings were systematically destroyed by the judeo-christian invaders.
This
Because they probably couldn't conceive of the idea that there would in the future arrive a religion that would so thoroughly turn its own people against its history, culture, heroes, myths and gods to the point people would legitimately forget what they are and even go so far as to start hating what they were and calling it demonic etc.
Basically it is the same reason as why our people from just 100 years ago didn't put into a bunch of clauses in our constitutions etc that said that we shouldn't replace ourselves with immigration or whatever. Because they couldn't wrap their heads around the idea that it would literally ever even become a viable view to take.
>tl;dr no one knew that such a perverted ideology such as Christianity would ever arise in the world and if it did then that people among us would subscribe to it was unthinkable
Exactly. I wish we could’ve warned them
>Why didn't early European pagans write down their beliefs
because it was not "their beliefs", it was their way of life
no need to write shit down if you get thought and live it from you are an infant. it will stick in your mind and body
They were oral traditions retard.
those who had culture - did
the savages - didn't
I do continue to stand by the position not to attack Christianity/Paganism on this board, however. It is subversive and makes our movement shove people away over minute differences. As a moral bastion for many people and that it carries many old traditions from Europeans, Christianity should not be immediately tossed aside.
My personal opinion is similar to the National Socialists that it should be phased out, but the current situation is about racial survival not theological debate.
Argue about this in the safety of our white neighborhoods after we win.
Because they were retarded and gay and Christians are just superior.
>historically illiterate christcucks ITT
>racial survival not theological debate.
The problem is without a religion and language (like the jews have) you're just left with skin colour which makes it easier for your enemies to subert you.
As a peoples you need some ideological compass to keep you centered, otherwise you can be easily split. You also need things that connect you to your ancestors.
Some kind of a religion also gives people a reason to stick close together (like jews and muslims do)
Because pagans would rather defecate in woods and sacrifice babies. Good riddance to those filthy niggers.
Ancestor cry
They did dickhead
Because the Christians destroyed all their documentation.
This. And they rewrote the history afterwards to their will. Pagans got btfo
All of the Greek and Roman texts survived. The Vatican was the greatest suppository of ancient knowledge throughout the dark ages. Muslims burnt a lot of libraries and books during that time. Perhaps you were thinking of them, or perhaps you are an idiot?
Rome never reached Norway
> I do continue to stand by the position not to attack Christianity/Paganism on this board, however.
Yet people like you still continue to attack European Muslims. A bit of a double standard, isn't it?
>Most of what we know about celtic/norse paganism was written down by medieval Christian monks.
Because they killed the ones who passed down oral tradition and everythign that was left of note was destroyed and rewritten.
Then there was deus vult crusades 1 and 2 against the pagans of the baltics and the rest of europe but you know about all that already.
>Pagans got btfo
>the white race gets collectively btfo
>pagans btfo
Amerimutts not white hat much is obvious

lol. good one schlomo
>The Greeks and Romans had books, but they were destroyed by the Christians or were lost thru the ages.
There is still a metric fuckton of Greco-Roman religous, mythological, and philosophical books
Their religion is literally better recorded then Christianity which has a load of lost books that were destroyed for being heresy
Oral tradition was the norm around the word
It was considered a sacred tradition to pass down the faith and stories of your ancestors by word
Some groups, lile the Druids considered it a heresy
It wasn't really a concern until Christianity wipe away their traditions, however the Christian monks, particularly in Ireland and Scandinavia did Humanity a great service by recording what remained of these Faith's
>The Vatican was the greatest suppository of ancient knowledge throughout the dark ages.
the dark ages happened because the vatican ordered all books seized or destroyed and every university burnt down, but details right
I personally think they have much earlier texts than the dark ages user.
>Oral tradition was the norm around the word
Exactly this.
>Christians spent centuries destroying pagan culture
Christian monks are the only reason we still have Greek and roman writings
Because writing came from Natufian mutts (ancestors of all middle easterners and Southern Europeans). Northern Europeans are pure Cro Magnon.

Christians aren't traitors cause they wrote stuff down, they are traitors because they killed fellow europeans for a semetic foreign religion.
>inb4 they were christians for 1000's of years
yeah and their ancestors were pagans all the 1000's of years before that.
What is oral tradition? Your grandparents don’t write down every story they tell you either bucko
That doesn't invalidate his point. The christian monks burned the pagan documents and replaced them with their own.
we got them from the muslims in the east, christian monks had destroyed all of them in the west why do you lie
are you one of them?
The Hindu traditions were oral for thousands of years before they were written down.
Not really. My point is the religion is secondary right now. Race is the important part. However, Muslims are much more about Islam and anti-white, whereas Christians are still cohesive within our movement. Also Muslim groups are important allies in fighting the Jew. If your allegiance is against our race you can eat shit and die. Otherwise let's put our differences aside for now.

This is a cool video about evola from a muslim scholar.
no aryans wrote down their texts even though they had writting systems, our ancestors just had people who would memorise entire books word for words
Because anglo saxons didn't know how to read or write until the Medo-Persians taught them how to write. And the Medo-Persians were proto-Christians (Book of Esther) just like every other empire that fucking mattered.
>what are nordic runes
Right. And because today we have this stupid view that if it wasn't written it wasn't as legitimate we discount all the oral traditions of historical event, like the flood "myths".
>All of the Greek and Roman texts survived
no, there's plenty of texts that are mentioned by authors and have gotten lost e.g first that comes to mind is an Etruscan grammar book by the last Etruscan speaking Emperor Claudius, or many of the poems of Plautus
>Most of what we know about celtic/norse paganism was written down by medieval Christian monks
Literally not true, the books of the Poetic Edda are authentic pagan poetry, the Prose Edda and many other sources also quote poetry extensively.
there was no global flood stop worshipping jews, the legends in the torah are ripped form sumerian myths
as many have said anyway, it's not lack of access to writing or even inability to get some people to do it, for them aside from writings used for business matters, putting their knowledge on texts, especially esoteric knowledge exclusive to priest classes, was haram
we don't even have much regarding the Roman priestly knowledge itself
>there was no global flood
>ripped form sumerian myths
Pick one retard, wasn't referring to the bible.

> However, Muslims are much more about Islam and anti-white, whereas Christians are still cohesive within our movement.
I disagree because there are an even amount of cases for Islam and Christianity. Some Christians are based like the Orthodox Christians in Eastern Europe, but some aren't like most Christians in the west. Some white Muslim lands are quite homogeneous and don't tolerate their kinsmen marrying non-whites (like Albania or Chechnya) but of course most western fetish converts are obvious traitors.
Both idiot. Just because Moses ripped the Noah story from Sumerians, does not mean that there was some global flood.
>I wasnt talking about the bible
>links a christian creationist site
The Vedas specifically weren't written down for awhile because the sound of the spoken words of the scripture is itself part of the divinity of the work. In fact, the supremacy of vocal recitation over text is found in other ancient cultures as well. Some go so far as to describe the invention of writing in a negative light.
If we consider ideas such as resonance and reality as vibration, this exaltation of spoken language makes quite a bit of sense. A word which produces a divine resonant effect when spoken has no purpose in being written.
