There is one Heathen book that no even minded intelligent Heathen should ever bother with:

The Way Of Fire And Ice by Ryan Smith

Don’t get the above mentioned book, it is just political trash that tries to push a SJW agenda. Anytime politics, any sort of politics, is mixed into religion, that is when you get violence and other hateful kinds of behavior like we have been seeing for the last two decades front and center in the world. True religion is spiritual and devoid of all politics.

Social justice warriors include people that promote extreme leftist based hate policies such as Critical Race Theory, and organizations such as Antifa. Antifa is a so-called anti-fascism organization that ironically promotes fascism, since the meaning of fascism is when a group or government promotes their political agenda using violence and force, which is exactly what Antifa does. They are the organization that was behind all the violence and burning of businesses during protests in recent times. Hate is not something that exists only on one side of the political spectrum, there are hateful extremists on both the right and left. It is important to not get behind hate in any form.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. ‘” ― Martin Luther King Jr. Notice he said equal. Equality does not mean seeing people according to the so-called ideas of power dynamics based on group identities they were born into or the color of their skin. It means seeing people as individuals. If Martin Luthar King Jr was alive today he would be speaking out against the SJW movement, as it threatens to undermine all the work he did.

The whole SJW political agenda is just promoting hate and racism, just the same as actual white supremacists are. Both are two sides of the same coin. You can’t stop hate and intolerance on one side by promoting hate and intolerance on the other side. This only gives power and strength to hate overall. The only way to stop hate is to stop seeing people as group identities, and to look at them as individuals, not according to what color their skin is or what group identities they were born into. The Norse Gods and Goddesses don’t care what color people’s skin is, or what group identities someone was born into, they only care about a person’s individual qualities.

The kind of thinking that SJWs promote, is that you are either with us or you are a white supremacist. For years now many very important authors that have greatly contributed to very foundations of the modern Heathen religion have been ostracized and called white supremacists because those authors are not promoting the SJW movement, but of course also most their books were written before the SJW movement even existed in its current day mainstream form as well. This is always what they do, call anyone that does not support their extremism, a white supremacist. Oftentimes these groups will have infighting between each other and end up even calling members of their own community white supremacists. Once they label someone a “white supremacist”, then they proceed to publish that person’s physical address and work information online, and many members of the SJW community then proceed to send messages to their place of work, and any social organizations the person may be joined to stating the person is a “white supremacist” and should be fired or removed from said organization. They also make death threats against the person, etc. In some cases actual physical violence by Antifa members, or other SJW extremists is carried out against the person. This whole process is called Doxing, and it happens all the time nowadays. This is a form of violence, both on the social and physical level. Using violence (or threats of violence) to enforce a certain political agenda is exactly fascism. Fascism does not stop racism, it empowers it. Only love, acceptance, and tolerance can stop racism.

SJWs follow the philosophy of Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory promotes the idea that the way to fight racism against black people and other minorities is to enact racism against white people and men, and other people that were/are part of the stereotypical majority. But promoting any form of racism or hate, only leads to more racism and hate. When any group is put down, this only leads to a counter reaction of continuing the cycle of discrimination and hate on all sides. The only way to stop racism and hate is to see all people as individuals, and treat them as such. We are all one race, the human race. Ideas such as separate human races, based on skin color are artificial distinctions that are not even scientific. The only human race that has existed for 10s of thousands of years now is Homo Sapiens.

Another aspect of the SJW movement, is that it is a cult that promotes cult-like thinking and the people that are part of that movement blindly follow critical race theory, no matter how illogical or destructive that philosophy proves to be. People in cults are brainwashed towards the philosophies of their cult, and they see any mainstream people that don’t follow their cult as the enemy, and their agenda is to try to get more people to join their cult, in an effort to “save society” from whatever the cult’s perceived notion of sin might be. Cults always follow black and white thinking that everyone that does not think the same way they do is evil, and deserves some sort of eternal punishment for their sinful ways. Sound familiar to how people that follow other cults, such as Fundamentalist Christianity think? SJWs think in the exact same way. Just substitute Critical Race Theory for Jesus, and “white supremacists” for the Devil or sinners that follow the Devil, and it is the exact same thing. Paganism, true Paganism, is not about such black and white thinking patterns.

Yes in Heathenism there is also a right-wing extremist (very small) faction that has been trying to pervert Heathenism towards a white supremacist racist agenda. A  good majority of the Heathens that do take up this perverted right-wing extremist version of Heathenism picked up Heathenism while in prison, since this is where that toxic form of Heathenism is mostly derived from. But most reasonable minded Heathens are easily able to see who the perverted right wing extremist Heathens are and avoid them. But SJWs like to label and call literally everyone that does not follow their extremist left-wing cult a white supremacist.

The Norse Gods/Goddesses don’t care what our skin color is or what groups we were born into. They only care about an individual’s personal qualities as an individual. But also it is fine too if an individual takes pride in their ancestors, and even feels drawn to the Norse Gods/Goddesses due to this, so long as they don’t think that Heathenism is limited to people with just certain kinds of ancestors, or that having certain kinds of ancestors makes you a better Heathen. Heathenism is open for all people that feel a closeness in their heart towards the Norse Gods/Goddesses. Anyone, no matter what their skin color, or ancestral heritage is can feel this closeness for them. 

The whole concept of “race” didn’t exist to Vikings, Germanic people, or most any people of the ancient world. It is crap that was made up, mostly in the 19th century to suit the political situations in Europe (related to Colonialism) of those times. For a time it became the mainstream pseudo-scientific ideas of the 19th century, and sadly is still with us to a lesser extent even now. The Vikings thought in terms of tribes, not races. Anyone that the people of the tribe liked were welcome to join them. The various Gothic tribes, which were another Germanic tribe, before the Viking era, who also followed mostly the same religion in earlier times and in earlier times the same set of Gods/Goddesses. The Goths ended up migrating to different lands due to war and local world events, and they allowed any people they met on the way, who were of like mind to themselves, to join their tribe and be considered also Goths. Another Germanic tribe that had the same policy even wandered into northern Africa, where they eventually resettled.

Yes racism is still a problem in the world, but it is not the big huge all of life consuming problem that SJWs would have us all believe it is. According to the SJW philosophy all of life revolves around the idea that everyone is thinking racist thoughts all the time, every minutes of reality, and that the only way to atone for this “original sin” of racism is to repent for all your sins of being racist, just for being born in the wrong group and/or gender (according to Critical Race Theory the most sinful “race” is Caucasian, and the sinful gender is male) to surrender any “privilege” (ie: personally acquired life success) towards others that have more points on the SJW victim-hood scale. This scale rewards social points to people based on how “non-privileged” they are, according to Critical Race Theory ideas. This whole philosophy forms the basis of the SJW cult, a toxic and destructive cult, that sadly has taken hold over many institutions within modern western mainstream society, and is dispensing it’s crusade against sinners of it’s philosophy, in just the same way in times past the Catholic Church spread it’s crusade against heretics, witches, and Pagans throughout Europe, and other parts of the world, thus eventually causing a break in Paganism. Do we as Pagans really want to support this exact same crusade like thinking that destroyed our religion in the past? We have only started to rebuild Heathenism, starting in recent times, but do we wish to risk losing it again, or even help impose another intolerant philosophy similar to the one which the church of the Middle Ages imposed upon the world? I for one as a Heathen plan to stand against this toxic movement, the SJW cult.
