Do you follow the old gods?!

[Basileos Leandros I]

Old gods I mean Roman or Greek or other gods.

Zoroastra, Baal, Thor, Saturn, Asklepios.....

[Bovril]

Zorastra was a prophet, not a god, and Zorastrism is very much a living religion. Ahura Mazda is the (chief) god of Zoroastrianism.

[Hamelkart]

And Ahriman is the evil figure if I'm not mistaken.

[Justinian]

tBP is a, what's the word for it, follower of the Druid system/Celtic gods (correct me if I'm wrong, o patron my patron).

[John I Tzimisces]

Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion. Or rather, was.

[Pra]

I do...sorta-old Hinduism.

[GodNeptune]

I've considered following this guy, but he demands that his followers consume the flesh and blood of bulls. He was the favorite god of the roman legions at one time and also worshipped by several emperors.

[First Crusader]

Okay, lets rephrase the question...

What old Gods do you SERIOUSLY follow?

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

I was about to follow Asatru(Odin, Thor and those fellows) but decided that athiest would be best.
It is fun to see however that the old religions are coming back.
Asatru for example has become an offical religion in Denmark next to Christianity and Islam and is growing in other countries as well.

[Saint-Germain]

It is fun?

Here was me thinking that gods were something to be taken seriously - a definate life-or-death thing - and here are people saying "Let's worship the Old Gods, we know they aren't really real, but it'll be a bit of fun"

Am I missing something?

[people_suck]

My father is a devoted Asadyrkare(dont know the english word thor and oden )

[the Black Prince]

worship of thor, odin, the norse pantheon is known as Asatru, or heathernism

the old religions are very much alive and well, and a lot of people don't worship them because they are fun, but do in fact taken it seriously.


justinian is correct, i'm a druidist, a follower of the druid religion of celtic europe, though different modern druid orders interpret this in different ways. some follow celtic/druid values and traditions in a modern world, others, like mine, literally worship and ask assistance of the celtic gods.

The old gods are not gods, and they are inside you. They don't need following, only attentive listening, being messengers of something else.

Was that Mithras?

[Ummon]

Yes it is. Mithras killing the bull. Astronomical reference, in truth.

Pretty much same can be said of any god.

[Ummon]

Pretty much same can be said of any god.

Not really.

[Darkragnar]

Well i folllow the old gods ,Shiva, Krishna, Indra, Ganesh, Kaali and the rest of them.
these gods have been around for more than 3000 years and they are still worshiped in today.In fact Hinduism is the 3rd most followed religion in the World after Christanity and Islam.
here are some pics from the Kumbh Mela that is held roughly every 4 years when the celeterial bodys are in a certain alignment.



and heres a pic of the Godess Durga.

[Tiwaz]

Not really.

Actually yes. After incidents mentioned in some holy texts no god has seen it fit to make themselves known in any direct and undeniable way.

And why should a god make him/herself known in an undeniable way? Furthermore, how could a god make him/herself known in an undeniable way? The thing, is infact, not possible. What we see as a miracle, could always be superior technology, illusion, subjective experience, mass hallucination, quantum oscillation, suggestion, etc.

No god would waste his time with such idle activity.
