On my previous post, I showed that the weekdays’ origins came from all pagan gods. I got stuck on Odin.
Odin = Oden = Woden = Wodensday = Wednesday
Extremely peculiour to me, I started fishing around and this is what I came across.
Wikipedia: Odin (IPA: /ˈoʊdɪn/ from Old Norse Ōðinn), is considered the chief god in Norse paganism. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon Wōden and the Old High German Wotan, it is descended from Proto-Germanic *Wōđinaz or *Wōđanaz. The name Odin is generally accepted as the modern translation; although, in some cases, older translations of his name may be used or preferred. His name is related to ōðr, meaning “fury, excitation”, besides “mind”, or “poetry”. His role, like many of the Norse gods, is complex. He is associated with wisdom, war, battle, and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt.
This guy goes hand-in-hand with Santa Claus, or as I would like to call it, Satan’s Claws. Christians, as always, have their own version wich is so more legit to the religeous communtiy. They believe that Saint Nicholas from Myra is the reason. Saint Nicholas gave gifts to the poor and that is as far as it goes. So what the fuck does jesus have to do with this? Nothing. Jesus is just another excuse to justify yet another pagan practice. Just like the pagan cross with the astrotheological fish (pisces), and the 100 different saints that the roman catholic “monotheist” followers pray to.
It all comes down to what has been done before. The only difference is the level of gullible and stupidity that the sheople of today have.
Another interesting fact is that the 12month calendar has been made and given to people by the roman catholic church. So by that, the names of the days are all pagan gods, and most of the month names are pagan and acient gods as well.
Doesn’t this santa looks like the spitting image of the pope?
Except that this guy has a really bad time eating soup.
Let’s not forget the 16th century satanic symbolism in his left hand.
