Setting the record straight.

Setting the record straight. | No, the Nazis were not Pagans. They saw the church's influence as an obstacle to taking absolute control, & thus distanced from it. Yet the holocaust was the logical conclusion of the pogroms which Christians had been subjecting Jews to for centuries. Was there ever conflict between European Jews & Pagans? It's just like how they called themselves "socialist," while imprisoning & exterminating the real socialists. (Even before they got around to the Jews.); Their superficial references to mythology & symbolism were often wrong. The behavior of Nazis was less like the traditional Nordic heroes, & more like the arrogant Gods who ended up dooming themselves. Also, neo-nazis took a rune which they thought meant "life" & inverted it. Except that rune actually means "elk." So instead of turning "life" into "death," they just turned an animal upside down. 🙃 | image tagged in christians nazis,elk,historical,misunderstanding | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Sorting out the legends.

Sorting out the legends. | The leprechaun has become the standard image of Irish kitsch, a being with a rosy face, boozy demeanor and green attire, the stuff of Saint Patrick's Day parades the world over. But leprechauns have a far more ancient lineage and are a race far removed from the popular images of cheery wish bestowing fairies. A confusion arose between Luchorpán and the solitary fairy being of Ireland known as the Cluricaune who is a cunning spirit who haunts cellars, drinks, smokes & plays tricks. This came about possibly due to the publication of Crofton Croker's "Fairy Legends" (1825). Since that time, leprechauns seem to be entirely male and solitary. Before merging with the green-clad Cluricaune, leprechauns wore red--an odd color for a water Spirit. One long-established tradition makes the leprechaun a cobbler who is found & seized by a human & made to show the way to the crock of gold. Leprechauns were not originally toadstool sitters, with red Galway beards & green hats, but that is how they survive in the imaginations of today -- a mixture of Cluricaune, brownie and European fairy. Their reputation as cobblers is perhaps the oldest thing about them, for it has been suggested that their original name derives from the Irish god, Lugh, and that they should be known as Lu-chorpan (Lugh-bodies). The Welsh variant of Lugh, Lleu, is known as one of the "3 Golden Shoemakers". It may be that a partially forgotten myth associated them with shoe making & the finding of gold. Perhaps the Lu-chorpan wore red? | image tagged in red leprechaun,pot of gold,ireland,tradition,st patrick's day | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
