What does the Easter Bunny have to do with Christ's resurrection?

By the way, the first baubles were actually shaped like nuts and berries.
I don't know why you didn't bring that up though, probably because you know jack diddly.
Something Yul also used, by the way. Just like ham, but I guess there's a Christian explanation for that too even though only pagan Europe really did all this for some reason.

Regardless, the theme has always been symbolic of (human) life persevering even in the darkest, etc.
Light and the sun, sacrifice (either bloody or just giving gifts) burning logs, etc.
But whatever.

Yeah, I'm fine.
By the way did you ever find the meaning of the linden tree?
I'll tell you some of it.
Many words in the German language are related to this tree, and pretty much all of them related to making things less bad, healing, etc.
"Lindern" "lindes urteil" because people used to judge people under Linden trees for "mild" cases (it's also connected to feminity) and harsher cases under Ash and Oak trees.

Neat, huh? Even in todays language it's all still used when there's nothing against replacing these words for something Christ related.
But I suppose we just can't stop "perverting" pagan stuff, as you initially proposed, lol.

Note: this was still done wayyyyyy WAYYYYYY after Christian "conquest".
But it's cool.
It's just as cool like Barbarossa, the Raven King (who was a Christian Crusader but always fought with the pope and had his body prepared the "German way" via boiling the flesh off the skeleton (for sanitary purposes) and to be buried at home instead of "the holy land".)
Oh, he also will come back from the dead, in the time of the most dire need.
Really Christian fella, that guy.

Like most Crusaders were, after all, they were real Christians and Christianity conquered Europe, so he had to be a 100% Bible kosher guy.
Here, check out his monument and art.

Wow look at that, nothing to do with animal sacrifices nailed to trees.
And why are you even talking about Linden trees? Last I checked, Christmas decorations typically aren't basswood, not are people judged under them.

Wow, you found out about the nuts and berries.
Did a Protestant tell you that?
Ahhh, but yeah, you're the man. You got it all figured out.

Still nothing to do with blood sacrifices.
Anyway, as for Barbarossa: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor
It's like you're not even trying.

name?

*Sigh* "The Wimp Lo Argument" is really all you have, isn't it?

Such security and confidence!

Yes. I get it. "Metagenetics" and all that. Schubert mentioned it in a song cycle. Wagner made the Ring Cycle. Thor and Loki are mentioned in comics. Days of the weeks are named after gods. Some holidays have left over pagan customs. Books about Germanic mythology (based on Christian research and records) and fantasy novels based on the characters are published, and people engage in habitual pagan superstitions to this day.

In your eyes it's a victory. People are doing it out of an urge born of "metageneics" or are subconsciously pining for their pagan past. Are "birds rather than dinosaurs" as you put it. Yes. I get it. It's exactly as I observed earlier. You are saying nothing new or innovative or mind-blowing.

Here's the rub though: you aren't taking the concept of worldview into account.

How many people who knock on wood, know (or even care) about the actually original context and meaning?

How many people actually view themselves as being a part of a singular organic family unit to where they take actual responsibility for the actions of another family member (whether showing up with them to court as a fellow defendant, or taking revenge on a non-offending non-family member as part of a proper bood feud), rather than view themselves as an individual child of God, responsible only for themselves?

How many people actually view Valhalla as the mass burial grounds of the dead in war or the various "Nine Worlds" as being in the context of their local immediate community, rather than as separate literal spiritual realms (a product of Christian influence.)

How many modern
Pagans"/"Asatruars"/"Heathens" etc. believe that when they die, that they go into the next realm to be with or be rejected by their family and ancestors based on the deeds in their life and continue to "live" in the land/mountain/hill they are buried, to be prayed and offered to by family members, rather than believing they are going to Valhalla, or to one of the halls of their personal favorite god (directly influenced by the concept of the Christian personal relationship with Jesus), or that the "gods" are nothing more than Jungian archetypes, or symbols of nature, or deified ancestors, or egregores that were prayed into existence because the people believed hard enough?

How many people in your Hulda video you love to repost, are engaging in that ritual for reasons beyond habit and tradition for tradition's sake?

You've made multiple hysterical posts about the color red in Christmas ornaments. What if I told that even if, by chance, they had some sort of context that was originally pagan, it doesn't matter anymore, because most people don't know and/or don't care?

Paganism, isn't trees, or evergreens, or baubles, or even stories about gods and goddesses, or tradition, or superstitious habits. It's "WORLDVIEW." It's living and believing.

Without worldview, all the stories, traditions, references and rituals are nothing more than shadows and fairytales that people derive entertainment and amusement from.

What the fuck is a lagomorph?

That's not true, though.
Take the slavs for example.

Idon't know why this is called "revival" (maybe for Poles cause Russians have had "double faith" since forever) because, it has been with them since throughout the "Christianization".

Again "double faith" has been a thing for aages.

As for your
Thing.

Firstly, I cannot give you exact numbers on any of these, asking me to do that is ridiculous, but every one of them remains firmfly incompatible with Christian conquest and the purge of all "superstions" and the loss of "all customs"
Enough to keep it alive, obviously.

In Germany this seems to be tied to more rural areas, it's pretty high here.

We're not all vikangz, damnit.

Pagans"/"Asatruars"/"Heathens" etc. believe that when they die, that they go into the next realm to be with or be rejected by their family and ancestors based on the deeds in their life and continue to "live" in the land/mountain/hill they are buried, to be prayed and offered to by family members, rather than believing they are going to Valhalla, or to one of the halls of their personal favorite god (directly influenced by the concept of the Christian personal relationship with Jesus), or that the "gods" are nothing more than Jungian archetypes, or symbols of nature, or deified ancestors, or egregores that were prayed into existence because the people believed hard enough?
I have no idea.
How many Christians believe in superior Christian philosophies and teachings and would gladly remain Christian even if there was no heaven to go to in the afterlife?
Because I have the opinion that Christians do not care and merely want their soul back, in Heaven.

Also, why do you think that belief can be reduced to a magic formula that is uttered a bit like this:" I accept Jesus Christ as my savior!"
A magic incantation is not faith, by the way.
Nor is having a billion books explain everything about it. That's called instruction.
But that's just a sidenote.

Probably all of them. Prancing around a conquered land full of pious Christians with evil devil stuff can only be done by the most hardcore of believers.

I would tell you that your scope is incredibly narrow and that I know for sure that there are a lot of Europeans lamenting the loss of many clear roots of traditions and beliefs, because it's still important to them.

Also, it's pretty neat how easily you dismiss anything as "wimp lo" stuff.

Wooden ships have gone out of production, more or less, and I'm speaking SHIPs here, not a little fishing boat.
Up until very recently shipwrights would still use ash wood in ships because it was directly connected to water, it's a holy water tree.

And you know what else?
I'll turn your argument around on you and it will make perfect sense in my hands:
Even if all of it were bullshit. They still believed it and therefore still ACTED by putting ash wood into ships.

That's the crux.
You can laugh all you want, again, it changes nothing in reality.
But belief is belief is belief, and if we are talking faith in general here.
Having less to go on and still believing is more faith as having a gorillion books on it and STILL fracturing into umpteenth denominations even though it should all be a UNIFYING truth.

But yeah. Whatever, right?

You're still beating on the dead horse of confusing worldviewless habit with "faith."

Your Ash wood example is no different than any other superstition that I mentioned.

Hulda festivals and other similar festivals have been held in Alpine areas as tourist attractions forever. Not as sincere religious ritual.

Your counter argument is essentially: "Habits that are shadows of a once living worldview are a superior faith to an extensively well documented and widely practiced and believed in faith." Which is just desperate and insane.

So what? Just based on the common sense law of averages the amount of Christians in the world in comparison to the fringe group of pagans, such as in your video, dictates that there are still a vast majority of Christians who have real faith than the minuscule minority of pagans or "pagans of habit" in the world.

Now you're just repeating the Wimp Lo argument with added mental gymnastics.

It's getting pathetic at this point.
