My rune series is finally complete! I can't post them all together (thanks telegram) but here are a few favorites! Not sure what I'm going to make with them but I'm thinking maybe stickers would be fun!

Very amusing when certain Christians say paganism isn’t a real tradition because it hasn’t got an unbroken line.
Christian priests don’t descend from the Kohanim. Christianity doesn’t have an unbroken connection to Judaism because it represents a break from it. Therefore Christianity, by this definition, isn’t a proper tradition.
Paul says that the new tradition is based on faith in Jesus and not bloodline and that there is “no longer Jew or Greek”. A new tradition is by definition not a tradition

Every one of us comes from an unbroken ancestral line, all of which were once Pagan. If we believe in reincarnation as our ancestors did, then we believe that we all share souls with those ancestors.

The Gundestrup Cauldron was found in Denmark, the Anglo Saxons were buried with hanging bowls with Celtic decoration, and Irish hanging bowls have been found in Viking burials in Norway.
The Germanic peoples have always had a particular liking for Celtic ritual vessels.

The Germanic animal style is typical of Germanic art from c. 475-1100 AD but we can see it existed in an earlier form too.
In the 3rd century, Northern Europeans, who had formerly been influenced artistically mainly by Celts, and more recently by Romans, adopted an old Scythian way of depicting stags and other quadrupeds that would become the “backward facing beast” motif which endured to the Viking age.
On the Thorsberg disc, c. 250 AD, which is mainly in a Roman style, there are also four beasts in a Scytho-Germanic style. A gold disc from Tannendorf in Lower Saxony c. 300 AD has an early backward facing beast, and other deer-like animals with S shaped bodies are seen on Nordic drinking vessels dated to the 3rd century.
