8:16a	Fertility Cults I Scholars and laymen alike seem to think of the pre-Christian religion as some sort of ferility cult, and everything is always interpreted in this light, as if fertility was all they ever worried about. All female symbols are thus seen as ‘feritlity symbols’, and even women themselves are portrayed as symbols of fertility. You might ask yourself a simple control question that will smash all these hypotheses and theories though: “was fertility a problem to the Ancient European?” Well, why on Earth would it be? Just about all the fertility problems we have today are related to the modern lifestyle and a type of pollution they didn’t even have back then. The only fertility-related problem they might have had that we still have today would be those caused by race mixing (e. g. making the male hybrid hypersexual [to compensate for his reduced ferility he will seek to mate a lot]). However, even when the proto-Europeans (i. e. homo neanderthalensis) first mixed with the proto-Africans (i. e. homo sapiens), probably during the Ice Age, when some of the proto-Europeans went to live in North- and East-Africa, reduced fertility was hardly a real problem. The male (but not the female) offspring of such mixes is often entirely sterile and unable to procreate, but there was no large scale mixing, and they only mixed sporadically, meaning that almost all the men would be proto-Europeans anyhow, with no fertility problems, and even the female hybrids (by the way, known to us today as “Cro Magnon”) were still fertile. When these tribes returned to Europe, a little bit mixed, the main and most serious adverse effect of this (in a feritlity context!) was mainly a reduced survivability of the pregnant woman. Getting the women pregnant was not a problem, as it most of the time still is even today, but having the woman survive the pregnancy and not least giving birth was often a challenge, and when there was some admixture this often became a major challenge. Women have hips designed to give birth to children who are from a racial point of view identical to themselves, so if a man of another race impregnates her and the child inherits the father’s skull shape (and the child will [statistically] 50% of the time), then that will be a major problem for the woman when she gives birth to the child. We see the same today, when African women marry European men; they have so many problems giving birth to these children that doctors often automatically (!) wants to give them a Caesarean section, to ensure the survival of both the child and the mother. Giving birth is difficult enough as it is: trying to squeeze a huge skull of another race through your hips severely increases not only the chance for your own and your child’s death, but also for brain injury to the child. When Siegmund Freud made up his absurd, ignorant and outright delusional theories regarding the “incestous desire” of girls towards their fathers, he simply failed to understand that women are not attracted to their fathers, and don’t seek men who look like their fathers because they are. Instead they are attracted to men who look like their fathers because that will increase the chance for them to survive giving birth to that man’s children: if her mate looks like her father chances are that he will have a skull perfectly matching the shape of her hips. When the admixture started the differences between the proto-Europeans and proto-Africans were rather big, and only a very few of the hybrid children (and their mothers) survived birth. Those children who did survive were probably almost exclusively those who inherited not the much larger European skull from their fathers, but the smaller African skulls from their mothers. Of course, it is not that simple, but by and large this was the case. So, the Cro Magnon, the direct result of this admixture, has a larger brain and skull than those found in the proto-African, but still smaller than the ones found in the proto-European. As other known mongrel creatures, the Cro Magnon also suffered from a series of problems, such as abnormal growth, bad teeth, often quite severe skeletal defects etc. Thankfully the mixing of species was only sporadic, and with time the problems caused by this were reduced in both frequency and strength. The proto-African genes were more and more evenly distributed in the proto-European population, who for most of the time didn’t mix with them. The hybridization did change the European population though, and caused many adverse effects, but fertility was never a problem. Surviving birth remained a serious challenge for women though, as it in fact still is today – because we on average in Europe are only 99,7% European.

9:50a	Fertility Cults II Serbian. The by scholars and laymen assumed ‘fertility cults’ of our forebears not only deal with human fertility, but also with the fertility of the crops. They portray ‘the goddess’ as some sort of fertility-spreading being, ensuring the fertility of the fields. All the old Scandinavian spells (‘sorcerous songs’) I know of though deal with waking up the fields (after winter) (i. e. they deal with the planting of seeds), and then protecting the fields (from ‘bad spirits’), and not a word is said about the fertility of the fields. And again, a simple control question can crush the official theory: was the fertility of the fields ever a problem? And why on Earth would it be? Was nature under some sort of harmful influence back then, that we don’t know of today? Or did somebody sell them GMO or hybrid seeds, that would only produce one single harvest and no fertile seeds to enable them to plant again the next year (a problem we have today)? The only problems they had in this context was too much or lack of sunshine and rain, and of course parasites, crop diseases, birds eating the seeds, animals eating the produce, etc., all explained as the influence of ‘bad spirits’. The deities generally understood as ‘fertility deities’ are actually never such. They are deities of love, of friendship, of sorcery (‘waking up’ or protecting the fields) and – most commonly and perhaps also most importantly – of youthful health and beauty (actually; two sides of the same coin). Yes, fertility was generally speaking not a concern in any context, but having good health often was. Most commonly, this was of major importance for the women giving birth. Getting pregnant was not a challenge whatsoever, but to survive childbirth they – and their children – needed to have a good health. Commonly this was also of major importance to the field: only good health could protect it from the ‘bad spirits’, that I talk about above. So the goddesses of good health blessed them, to strengthen their health and protect them. We then move on to the symbol of good health in pre-Christian Europe, namely the cup (often cauldron) of the Earth goddess. Today we best know this symbol from perverted and Christianized Pagan myths about ‘The Holy Grail’, but as you can understand, the cup was an attribute of the goddess of good health. Very simply put: whoever drank from it would become more healthy. Yes, drinking from this cup would remove the effect of poisons, cure diseases, heal wounds and increase the chance for pregnant women to survive childbirth. If I may remind you of the importance of rain and sunshine for the crops, the attributes of the sky god becomes more understandable too: his scepter (originally a stone and then a stone hammer or axe) caused the thunder in the sky (like stones on the ground hit against each other produce sparks, and can be used to kindle a fire); his sword was the lightning striking from the sky as a result of this (transferring the power of the sky [the sun] to Earth), and his crown (halo) was the sun itself, shining behind him. Together the Earth goddess and the Sky god mastered all they needed for the crops to grow: sunshine and rainfall, and good health. The attribute of the Earth goddess was also very useful for (already) pregnant women, who wanted to have enough health to survive giving birth. The attributed of the Sky god was also very useful for champions, who – when the Sky god transferred the power of the sun by placing the sword on their shoulders – became even stronger, or even invincible! So was there really a fertility cult in Europe? Well, I at least see no traces of such a thing. And such a cult would make no sense either.  But why do all scholars and laymen alike talk so much of this ‘fertility cult’, of the importance of fertility for the ancient man, etc.? Why on Earth do they? You can explain away much of it with mere ignorance, even more by prevailing feminist ideas, but much of it must be simply slander of the Ancient Man. It is an attempt to make us think of him as some sort of degenerate (‘he was so infertile’), as some sort of pervert (‘his entire religion revolved around having sex as much as he could’), and not least an attempt to strip the religion of our forebears of all metaphysical meaning, of course done to make it less attractive for men today. If you want to know more about the metaphysical meaning of the European religion you can read the posts linked to in this post.  PS. I have of course included the ‘features’ discussed in this post in the sorcery and religion of MYFAROG. :-)  (Comment on this)
