Germanic Religion

@Rhyzo
They believed in the same things, but generally "Germanic paganism" is the beliefs of the Germanics during antiquity, whereas what people call "Norse paganism" is the myths trapped in the time of middle ages Scandinavia.
Mythology did vary amongst National groups, but the same is true for all pagan religions. Ck3 actually depicts the various Brahmanical sects of Hinduism, for instance.
The Norse preserved what we know of their myths through skalds, associated with Odin who is called king of the gods...
at the temple of Uppsala Thor was visually portrayed as the kingly god, seated in a throne with a crown, Freyr & Odin by his sides. Odin is associated with sound. Thor is the offspring of Odin & Mother Earth. He's associated with lightning.
The Thor-like figure across many other Myths, Perun, Jupiter etc is actually placed as King of the gods, with the Odinnic god such as Veles or Mercury (& his grandfather Saturn) portrayed as a son or father.

@SFE
You wouldn't talk that way to my face bitch boy

What makes you presume I'm just larping? I genuinely believe the ancients could interpret reality better then the calculator brained, pseudo scientific academia.
@duce
I agree, wording it as "left wing" is not a great way to put it. Many Asaturians are in fact right wingers and it's just a name at the end of the day. Most people don't care about names & words but I do.
I associate the left with progressivism and a critical stance towards culture & identity.
I said it because it comes across to me as an attempt to bundle specifically Scandinavian folklore (Why not Germanic in general?) into a fixed modern religion.
Historical pagans didn't obsess with a personal religious identity unlike universalist religions. This is a good reason dividing Germanic paganism into an umbrella doesn't make any sense, unless the same is applied to Slavs, Hellenism, etc (which also varied amongst subgroups).

@Randy_Rabbit
Old Norse Religion, (Norse Paganism) is the most common name for a branch of Germanic religion which developed during the Proto-Norse period, when the North Germanic peoples separated into a distinct branch of the Germanic peoples.

I thought Germanic paganism was different to Scandinavian paganism, I know they had similar eg; Wodin & Odin or where they exactly the same but just different spelling/names due to language

For game purposes I would like Forn Siðr as that is what the 'Old Ways' were referred to in this time period.

@Wooo You're correct, though I have seen a lot of Germanic, specifically Norse, pagans relating the term Asatru to specfically the modern Icelandic organization of Norse paganism. I see a lot more of us using the term "Heathen" to describe the vast umbrella of Germanic Paganism, and then simply just calling themselves "Norse Pagan" or "Saxon Pagan" to get more specific

@SFE This may just be more ignorant than what Waffenchad said lmfao. Modern Germanic Pagans (most anyway, like %95) aren't trying to be a viking. Being viking has nothing to do with the faith in the first place. There are some out there but most of them aren't actually polytheist and are closer to the term "Atheo-Pagan" (Atheistic Pagan) if you even want to call them anything related to paganism in the first place (I don't). As for being a Druid, a Druid was something of a priestly class in the civilizations of the Celtic peoples pre-christianization, so even if you where a Celtic Pagan, there would be few people actually called a Druid by their peers. (Most) Pagans aren't larpers, people are gonna have to deal with that and move past that half-assed insult if they intend to actually engage with us either in debate or casual conversation. Anyway, I'm not going to go postal on a steam comment page of a random mod, but I couldn't help myself with this one lol.

mr waffenchad
Asatru may not be the correct term, it isnt a "lefist" term. it is an icelandic word meaning Aesir True or True to the Aesir. It is just a modern term for the Norse branch of the greater germanic family.

Get a life, Waffenchad.

You're neopagan. A modern day hipster pretending to be viking or druidic or some shit. Lol.

I hated the way CK3 changed all the pagan religions named to modern hipster leftwing sounding "neo"pagan titles. As a Pagan myself I find it annoying. You should change the name of all the religions in your mod. Here's what the names should be:
Germanic
Slavic
Baltic
Finnic
Ulgric (Or Shamanist or Siberian)
Tengrism is fine
Taltoism is fine but Magyar makes sense too (Magyar paganism is a mystery but was likely some kinda finno-ulgric and Tengrist mash up)
Bon is fine
Hellenistic is fine (The only pagan title that makes sense and isn't larpy in CK3 is Hellenistic. They don't seem to be very consistent.)

Idk if I missed any. Probably some obscure eastern one that I can't comment on.
