There seems to be a growing interest in ancient culture and as the world modernizes, it seems that we as beings are starting to seek to retain an interest in things that are not just of technology and of amassing personal wealth. I am encountering more and more people who have an interest in something beyond just this sterile technological world and what is being put out in front of us by mass media and commercial interests.
Lately, I have been learning a lot about Northern and Western European beliefs and have discovered that there is a strong connection between what I would call European Heathen beliefs and North American Native Heathen beliefs. I find this fascinating, and I think we may be looking at a possible break through in revealing long lost knowledge concerning these two regions. For so long, we have been told, especially here in the US that the Middle East is the "cradle of civilization" and I have been suspecting that may be in great error. I have been excited to hear about recent discoveries of ancient ruins and tools that are of a Northern Hemisphere origin. I also wonder how could our teachers tell us that the Middle East - Tiger and Eurphrates River area - is the "cradle of civilization" when the regions of China and Japan have had long long histories of civilization.
I look forward to chatting with others and exchanging ideas.
