Kindred indeed. You write as much as I do! I swear, I keep on trying to learn to keep things simple but I just don't have that wiring. Your reading on the history of christianity reads like the most likely scenario to my eyes. It would also explain why christianity accidentally ended up embedding in it and documenting some of our own ancient pagan ways and rituals as the christian mythology was taken up by pagans that could not read or write. Your approach to "squinting" at the text and kind of carefully looking at how it would have developed given what we know about the historical context is really interesting. You know what though? The more I think about your take the more I think that your read on that history has a cinematic quality to it. I don't know if it would anger christians if that were turned into a movie or online drama or something, but it's quite compelling isn't it? Grand tragedy of the oppressed escaping destruction only to start anew? You might want to see if you can make something around that. I am saddened that we have lost who knows many ancient white myths and religious beleifs as our people did not write anything down (that we know of anyway). But, on the other hand, just like the ancient Celts never disappeared as they are among us all throughout Europe, neither did the ancient precursors to those myths ... us. I have a bunch of visuals and beginnings for new white mythology kinda running around in my head, and the general idea is that it doesn't matter if we keep on loosing our mythologies. We carry them in our dna and as long as we live and write we can rebuild them anew. Our gods never dissapeared, they are within us, so to speak. Perhaps I will manage to get something done with that and contribute to Tokeins work, but for my own tribe. As you probably know, Tolkein wrote his work to try and bring to life mythologies lost as a result of viking / norman conquests of the Celtic lands, which is to say, that when you are reading Tolkein you aren't reading fantasy you are reading the religious writings of the Celts. The way we going to kick the jewish and other invaders from our lands is by building strong bridges between our people. One of the key tools that will bind us are the new mythologies and rituals that we need to build in order for our people to get meaning, purpose and direction from US and not our enemies. What I am getting at is, you read on christianity is probably way more important than you might think and you may be able to cash in on that if you can develop some sort of media product around it. And your general sensibility of how to read mythology, how it is generated by human nervous systems in context of history and survival could be a very useful tool in building out our peoples mythos as well. Who knew Poal could become this useful?
