A forbidden faith we all should profess
When the iron fist in Germany bans the practice of Germanic faith, it's only right that we embrace and elevate this belief, making it our own.
Just the other day, doors were broken down at the homes of comrades in Germany. Overnight, the BRD had banned the religious community Artgemeinschaft. The seizures were laughable – legal weapons and religious artifacts. They were as pitiful as the BRD itself.
Artgemeinschaft in Their Own Words
What is Artgemeinschaft? I say "is" because the community doesn't disappear just because the state's iron heel has stomped on it. About themselves, they wrote – on their now-banned website – the following:
"It was founded in 1951 and merged in 1965 with Nordische Glaubensgemeinschaft e.V., which was established in 1928 and renamed Nordisch-religiöse Gemeinschaft in 1954.
The merger with Nordungen, which had already been founded in 1924, took place in 1983. Within Artgemeinschaft, the ideas of the Germanischen Glaubens-Gemeinschaft (GGG), founded by Ludwig Fahrenkrog in 1913, continue and evolve. This, after it ceased its activities in 1957, was removed from the association register, and the remnants of its active members had joined Artgemeinschaft or Nordisch-religiöse Gemeinschaft.
We can point to decades of experience in shaping a faith that suits us, as we are the oldest Germanic pagan congregation with continuous activity. With us, you'll find not only a vibrant community life during the regularly recurring community days but also, through Nordische Zeitung, two publication series, a book series, and individual writings, an intellectual discussion with Christianity, presentation of old customs, and shaping of a faith true to our kind."
Sounds dangerous, doesn't it?
An Honorable Association
For me, Artgemeinschaft was always a bit too anti-Christian. As you know, I believe that the Allfather, God, YHVH, Tyr, Tiwaz, Odin, etc., can be traced back to the dawn of our race, and I see no point in fueling a conflict between nationalists based on their faith. My hope is that pagans and Christians can cooperate, as they did before the pyramidal and globalist church from Rome attacked.
I have interacted with members of Artgemeinschaft and once lived on the estate (Sveneby manor) owned by the then-leader Jürgen Rieger. We had some intriguing conversations, and I've always admired the vibrant cultural practices of the German comrades. I have nothing but good things to say about those I met.
Artgemeinschaft consisted of families, anti-modernist attire, genuine faith, and was as far removed from the modern national movement as one can get. As you can understand, they weren't a mass movement. I still hold out hope for a similar association in Sweden. But time will tell.
Until then, I've decided that these twelve points are what all new barbarians must agree upon. Apostates from this do not belong to our group.
The New Barbarians' Credo
All life operates according to natural laws. The divine reveals itself to us in these eternal, unchangeable laws, against which it is absurd to rebel. – We profess to live in harmony with nature's laws.
Struggle is a part of life; it's natural for everything that comes into being, exists, and perishes. Each of us, as well as our entire species, is in this struggle. – We acknowledge this eternal life-struggle.
Different human species differ in form and nature. This diversity is a meaningful adaptation to various natural environments. – We are committed to preserving and promoting our human species as life's highest goal, for it is a manifestation of the divine.
Body and soul form a unity. – We profess equal appreciation of both.
Fundamentally, we owe our existence to our parents and ancestors. – We profess to honor our ancestors and wish to pass on their memory to future generations.
The sun sustains all life on this earth. Sky and earth, animals and plants, mountains and trees, wind and water are our home; we are embedded in nature and cannot break free from it without consequences. – We embrace our ancestors' sun and nature worship and don't view the environment as subject to human whims.
Customs and traditions are part of every religious community. – We are committed to the Germanic cultural heritage and its further development.
Our will is determined by our nature. It is shaped by inheritance and environment, imprinting and education. – We judge people based on their character, achievements, and how they handle challenges.
Anyone can fall into debt due to fate. – We profess that debt can only be atoned for through one's actions and pursuit of the good.
Pain and suffering warn of dangers and should awaken the body and mind's defenses. They cause shock but also recovery. – We recognize pain and suffering as natural forces and don't view them as punishment from some supernatural power.
Without the death of individual beings, species cannot live and evolve. – We admit that the death of an individual is not a punishment or liberation from a supposed earthly valley of tears but a prerequisite for our species' future prosperity.
Humans are immortal in the descendants and relatives who share their inheritance. Only they can embody our predispositions received from ancestors. – We profess that the highest purpose of our existence is the pure transmission of our life.
