You must have sufferred a momentary lapse of cognitive function, old man. Wicca and Satanism are more kosher than the most vile form of JudeoChristianity. They don't bear even the most tenuous link to the historical Volk religions of Europe. I'm surprised that someone of your ability would fall for this Jooish canard.

My results. I was hoping for Slavic to be number 1, oh well.
#2 Slavic

My top 10.
I'll have to check the links provided by the selector to find out what Romuva and Numinism are.
Enkidu
Rather than make a new post, I'll just edit this one.
The quick searches say:
Romuva --- Old Baltic faith --- Another site, Ancient Lithuanian faith.
Numinism --- Numinism is a spiritual tradition derived from the indigenous religion of the Western world. [ My quick searches indicate that Numinism is a modern construction.]

I'm very sympathetic towards indigenous, folkish European paganism.
I was speaking of the Selector; not Euro-paganism.
I would like to a genuine revival of Euro-paganims along the lines envisaged by Alain de Benoist.
[QUOTE=Octopod]But many of those religions are not mere "fun and games" but serious faiths native to Europe. Unfortunately that list lumps those faiths with Wicca, an invention of 20th century academics (primarily Jews). Wicca is not a serious religion with ancient roots, and should be kept out of the list.[/QUOTE]

I think I'll remain a Christian with folkish tendencies. :drool:

Friedrich, If you've got a link for Alain de Benoists ideas on that, could you post it. I'd like to read up on it.
Thanks.

How I ended up with Finnish Paganism, I'll never know. I've never heard of some of these. When I was asked by the selector to predict my result, I figured Asatru would be pretty high, followed by Satanism, since my interests actually tend toward the "Left Hand Path" in the Germanic/Norse tradition. Instead I face the irony of having Asatru show up as #9 in the list, lol....

[QUOTE=wintermute]PCA -
Where the deuce have you been, Old Boy?
Wintermute[/QUOTE]
Hi Wintermute! I've been peeking in on this board from time to time but haven't said much. I haven't had the urge. That might change in the near future. Generally, when I look around at the State of the Union, so to speak, not much has changed, and not much is worthy of new commentary.
What I will say is that the 2004 campaign so far has confirmed my hatred of George W. Bush and the things he represents. I condemn myself for the fact that in the mid-90s I actually self-identified as a "Republican." What a mistake, but at least I caught on early in life. The entire persona of Bush screams "corporate sell-out," especially in light of members of his administration having the nerve to praise the virtues of overseas "outsourcing" of American jobs in public. What an embarassment the so-called White ruling elites are in this country. How deep we have fallen. Too many in America who self-identify as "conservatives" fail to realize that global capitalism is far from conservative, but is subversive and revolutionary, ripping up the fabric of Traditional societies. The day a majority of those harboring impulses they consider "conservative" wake up and separate themselves from plutocracy is the day there is forward progress in this country.
Anyway, my apologies to all that my response above is not exactly on-topic to this thread, but there's my status report.

PaleoconAvatar,
I am happy to see you back as well! Every thing you say is all too true!

My results:
Old English heathenry is an aspect of the Northern Tradition and so could have been included in the Astru category.
