How did the god of war and death become Santa Clause, or the honorable daddy figure like in Ausatru's pussy version?
Odin was a deity with many names. One of them being Godin (where we get the modern word "God"). In Iceland, the last of his followers practiced a version of franchise government where a, "Godi" (a type of Druid) would manage the region for the farmers. Each farmer could choose a different Godi franchise if they didn't like the one they had. The Godan (Godi priests plural) ruled with NO government or King behind them. A type of ultimate Libertarianism.
Godin, Odin, Wotan, The Grimni (God of masks), the God of Gallows, the God of Death, the God of ravens, the God of letters and frenzy and magic and poetry and winter…
The image of Death being the King deity over all other spiritual elements was a strong statement by a culture which taught that every man must die in battle. This kind of warrior dedication created an Aryan elite soldier class. And this is why the deity of War and Death was the deity of kingship.
So those hipsters and ex-cons you see tatooed with a vulknut… those people are accidentally saying they have dedicated themselves to the King of death and war, and will die in battle against their volk enemies the Juden.
But the modern "Odinist" has no intention of doing their sacred calling.
The fact is Odinists were the elite in society because these were the people who HAD TO DIE in battle and deliver bodies to Odin or Freya (who took the dead into the Earth if they weren't slain in battle). Killing to a real Odinist was a gift given to their enemies and victims.
A real modern Odinists would be training like Jason Born, battle tactics and deception tactics as the god of masks.
And this dear friends is why Heathenism, Odinism, Wotanism, doesn't actually exist. You can't change this element of the faith. Odin is the God of fucking killing motherfuckers and dying in battle against the Juden, enemy of the Volk!
Anything less is fake pop culture Marvel Comics larping.
This is not anti-pagan D/C. It is just a comparison of the old religion/government to the new vogue versions of the Allfather.
