Just toured Winchester Cathedral. It was interesting because the tour guide kept reiterating that the original Norman stone masonry "wasn't very good," (in this photo you can see the windows are not uniform, he said they didn't even measure properly and "just made it fit"). He emphasized that they "learned on the job" over time.

Well, it stuck out to me because the Yahwist edgelords online love to mock their own indigenous ancestors by claiming we Europeans couldn't build anything before the arrival of Christianity. Which obviously overlooks all the ancient Greco-Roman world pagan era buildings!

It's very clear that what happened was that our building knowledge took a backwards fall after we abandoned our native belief system. It was only over time, we're talking many hundreds of years later, did we finally learn to build with any renown again.

One interesting thought I thunk while looking at the Stonehenge Visitor Center was being reminded of the site's ancient use as an ancient pilgrimage destination.

Stonehenge is estimated to have been built around 3,000 BCE. Northern Europeans were engaging in pilgrimages for 3 millennia before the advent of the Jewish sect of Christianity.

Not only were we travelling distances for spiritual intentions, but it was also a healing center. The stones were thought to have healing energies.

So travelling for religion and healing is NOT a Christian origin thing. One more thing they took from Paganism. One more piece of evidence that Abrahamism is FAKE. (Islam even moreso!!)

Another anti-Pagan Evola take is his solution to modernity. Quote: "to rid the world in revolutionary fashion of a culture of decadence…The first assumption is that there is a higher world beyond this one. Therefore, we have to abandon any mysticism of this world, any adoration of nature and of life, any pantheism."

Abandon the real world, stop adoring nature and life? Abandon pantheism? A completely traditional worldview, right? Definitely based Evola would never promote some revisionist, anti-fundamentalist BS.

In conclusion, as noted by the chief of the Sicherheitshauptamt: "Evola possesses no understanding of the German folkish past…"

Evola on Paganism

"There is nothing to its religion but a superstitious deification of natural phenomena, or of tribal energies promoted to the status of minor gods. Out of this there arises first of all a blood- and soil-bound particularism."

Does this not sound like anti-folkish and anti-life universalist propaganda? I think it does. But we need to turn off our pattern recognition when it comes to the big schnoz baron, right?
Fakes like this are the reason why we need to gatekeeper Pagan communities worldwide

In the Flóamanna saga, Þorgils invokes Erik the Red’s ire by killing a bear that Erik “cherished ancient faith in”, demonstrating the contrast of how animals were viewed in the animistic, pagan worldview as opposed to the Abrahamic worldview; not as soulless automatons, but as brothers, ensouled beings who they respected and sought to build frith with.
