"Pagan" Symbols
What we call "Pagan" is merely a term used to refer to the Instinctive Ethnic Ways innate to OUR people. To the point that it was not uncommon to call unbaptized children "Little Pagans". The term however has become corrupted into a dichotomy of Abrahamic Vs. Non-Abrahamic. History, Ancestry and even Symbols the entirety of a peoples inheritance is split, uprooted and taken from them.
This is such a strong split that it is not uncommon for peoples to consider their Genesis as a Tribe or Nation to be within the last 1500 or even 1000 years. This has caused a disconnect present throughout entire cultures wherein it is not uncommon to find people cheering the conquest of their own people by the church; because those "Pagans" weren't them, even if their blood, their ancestry and history is entirely tied up with them. It is to the Church that most end up tracing their history from their peoples conquest to Christianity's Judeo-Roman origins and then before Yeshua tied into the Old Testament.
This severs most from their history, their ancestry, the entirety of their inheritance stretching back through the ages. The "Pagan Gods" are not pagan gods, They are OUR gods!
The longer we continue to allow the false schism to persist the further we will be torn from our own peoples Neverending Story. An attack on OUR gods is an attack on US, an attack on "Our Ethnic Ways" is an attack on OUR cultures and the peoples.
Your Forebears weren't Pagans They Were Your Forebears.

Jurate, Brigid, Thor, Heracles, Dajbog, Väinämöinen etc. Not only that by OUR lore these gods ARE our ancestors both in flesh and in soul. These symbols and stories are OURS they are not pagan. Nor are they lost as some supposedly foolish religion before the coming of the Church, they are a part of us.

Scarecrows?
The humble scarecrow symbol of rural life, Harvest time and holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving. But there is more to this idol than meets the eye... for starters ever notice he doesn't scare away crows?
The reason for this is that scaring birds away is actually not ideal as birds tend to eat pests more than they do seeds. But mostly this is not the purpose of the Scarecrow. So what is his purpose? Well... people like him of course! Same reason we do anything
In the modern day Scarecrows are more a Halloween and Thanksgiving decoration found at your neighbors home vs. the Rural fields.
However the Scarecrow has immortalized itself in modern culture. Appearing as the Monster in Jeepers Creepers, a recurring villain for Batman, as well as the Companion of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
So next time you see a Scarecrow in the fields or in the foyer, remember the long long history and the gods and ghosts who like to smile from its burlap and pumpkin headed visage. -TLK

-oh you wanted more? Like Lorewise? oh ok-
*Ok grab a beer and sit down for a moment.*Modern scarecrows are centuries old but descend of much older customs. Notably the idol of the fertility god in the field as seen with the Corn Giant Wode or the Greek Priapus. The latter of which often had an idol kept in the field
-sometimes with a threatening message of gross sexual harm by the god on anyone who messes with the garden, Greek gardeners weren't messing around-
Meanwhile in Germany and the German Diaspora we find the tradition of The Butzemann, a plant spirit placed into a Scarecrow to guard and tend fields. Near Halloween The Butzemann is burned and its spirit is taken by The Wild Hunt, in Pennsylvania Dutch tradition The Butzemann is take by Frau Holle and allowed to reincarnate from her mill. In Saxony-Anhalt the Giantess Frau Harke appears as a Scarecrow in carnival processions. In the modern day Scarecrows are more a Halloween and Thanksgiving decoration found at your neighbors home vs. the Rural fields.

Christianity is the belief that only the Israelites got it right and that everyone else’s ancestors were just off being dumb with a penis rock somewhere.

Many factors have led us to this conclusion, but before speaking about those I wish to thank all of our Patrons and Listeners. We were considering ending after season 5 or coming back for a greatly reduced season depending on how visiting our Patrons went. And it was meeting all these(you) great people on our trip that convinced us to continue on. So for that we thank you.
Between work and illness, this last year has been chaos when it came to getting episodes up on time. We had already considered a schedule change especially as many of our long time fans were falling behind on episodes, and we wished to spend more time actually doing Summertime activities, unlike our time in Michigan which was often consumed with work both the hourly work we did to pay the bills and all we did for Hyperborean Radio.
But after the first 12 Episodes of Season 6, we realized we were in fact on the homeward stretch of the series. It was actually two of our fans who seemed to realize it before we truly internalized it, after episodes 11 and 12 (Ethnicism and Americans) we more or less had a spiritual Series Finale. In the sense that those two episodes felt like the sum of all that we had been building up for, and while we CAN speak about Ethnic Faith and Our People forever, it doesn't mean we should or even that we want to.

When we first began as Hyperborean Radio Ike then called The Antlered One/The Lore Keeper and Jeff then going by the youthful nickname turned Online Username of Celtic God served as the Novice and the Veteran respectively, with Ike being able to translate Jeff's lessons and in-depth conversations from his own growth and experiences. But Ike is no longer a novice and it has become hard to consistently translate our topics into a bite sized conversation that can go deep without being overwhelming.
When we hit Ethnicism/Americans this season it was The End.

Even if we didn't realize it initially.
Our Goal is to finish this season Satisfactorily, to leave this complete and not undone. All things have their time, and perhaps the time is fast approaching for The End of Hyperborean Radio. We hope our many conversations we have been able to share with you have added something to your life, that we have done what we set out to do.
The boon of this Runesmithed Wonderland we call the Internet is also it's bane, that what is here is here forever, or at least, until the web is gone.
Our final episode is not the end of all tales, anymore than a finished novel or complete thesis is the End of their respective stories. It will continue on, perhaps not in new episodes or even specials but in those who hear it and find value in it.
Even now new ears and hearts are finding our old episodes and listening, and we hope listening deeply. Do not let us do your thinking for you, but we hope the time you have and for the time being continue to allot us has widened your horizon, showed you you are not alone, and cast light on the beauty of all that we are.
We have not decided on a final number, perhaps we will be done at 28 or 32, 40 or 64 or even 100? The latter is unlikely. But we are not done just yet, the Epilogue persists until it does not. As Wyrd as it may sound, we will know when we are done. And we will not leave you without a proper farewell.
You are welcome as with all stories, to remain until the end or leave knowing the climax of the story has already occurred.
Thank You For Listening as Long as You Have,
May the Strength and Power of your People Bless You; and May Your Stories Be Told Long After You are Gone.

This doesn't convince anyone on anything. The outfits & silly hats change but it doesn't make this something people would be drawn to.
Pre-Christian Ancestral Roots are incredibly varied, the constructed neo-pagan religions are not that. They are often more shallow than the Folk Christian customs that are still practiced by functionally non-denominational Christians. Different statues, different outfits, different silly hats, but where is the fundamental difference, the actual improvement. The inability to make that argument is why the Current Pagan movement is doomed to failure.
An ethnic movement may reignite the old ways, by focusing on ones own heritage. But many "Pagans" simply recreate the pattern of the previous religion they came from and thus the inevitable collapse of half measures and anger will lead to stagnation.
Not just nature worship, not just ancestor veneration, it is more. Day by day without a single piece of fancy dress normal people continue forth customs older than any pictured above.

The Old Man of the Mountain
The Prince of Gnomes, The Mountain Lord, Treasure Keeper, Ruler of the Underworld, Old Man of the Mountain, Among Other Names.
Rübezahl he is called, but this is not a name he prefers. He has many epithets but the name he is known by is a story of heartbreak and foolishness he'd rather forget.
He prefers the Prince of Gnomes! For he is the Ruler of the Underworld and its Earthen spirits.
Or Mountain John! For he wanders and lives atop his Mountains, the Giant Mountains! Its King, its Hermit and its Trickster.
He takes many forms a giant, a Woodwose, a Rich Lord, a Dwarf, a Hermit or Monk. He may appear as a Toad, a Goat Rider, a Bear, a Woodcutter or even an Old Lady.
All Mountains are his home and one must be respectful of the Mountain Lord for he is not above delivering lessons in a painful way. Sending people flying across the mountains with a gust of wind, or shattering years worth of work and wealth, the Mountain Fauna are his herds, the Mountain Plants his Garden, keeper of the knowledge of the herbs. While he can be dangerous even deadly he is also known for his kind and romantic side. Falling in love at first sight with the princess who broke his heart, or saving the home and family of a young child with noble spirit via a single flower of pure gold.
He is an ancient god a Lord of Mountains and Storms. He leads the Wild Hunt, he Calls the Storms with his Storm Harp and summons lightning with a wave of his hand, his club a Branch of the Tree of Life.
He gave the people many gifts, the metals and medicine they use everyday, the Spinning Wheel & Sourdough are both inventions of his. He has as always had a soft spot for the little people in their day to day lives.
Those who take advantage of them; the Cruel and the Corrupt, will know his wrath.
