Paganism

I'm sure this will be one of many thoughts I have on paganism.

I've been reading up on paganism in general,just to see what other pagans of the world think about things.
I re-read "The Nazi Ghost" by Varg Vikernes. In it,he says

"If we have a positive relationship to our homeland, to our blood, to our race, to our religion and to our culture we will not destroy any of this with modern "civilization" (id est capitalism, materialism, Judeo-Christianity, pollution, urbanization, race mixing, Americanization, socialism, globalization, et cetera)."

Varg Vikernes,mind you,is something of an elitist.I would perhaps go so far as to say xenophobic. From his writings,I get the impression that his drive for racial purity leaves out other people who may want "in" on the Norse religon,but who remain out because they are not "of the blood."

I also read this article by a Finnish person on the brief history and revival of Finnish paganism.

"...universalism and mental "new ageism". One can't take parts of our ancestors spiritual tradition and mix them up with dihttp://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8516447122579456172fferent things from different traditions and expect that the end product would be meaningful, functional religion and world view. It is my firm belief that any tradition should be studied, lived and treated as a whole. Not as collection of pick-and-choose -ideas for people to take and mangle as parts of their own supposedly deep copy-paste -religions."


Then it occurs to me-This only makes sense if you are of one nationality.He(I think it's a he) is Finn.His whole family most likely lives there,he can most likely trace his heritage through Finland-It's all Finland for him. It's logical for him to want his nationalities belief systems to be followed as a whole,and not be "copy and pasted" into other belief systems.

But I'm Irish,I'm English,I'm German,French and Native American. Where the hell does that leave me?
