If we believe the Viking and Germanic texts as they are 'written', earg/argr was used to refer to
any men who practiced Magick (seithr/seithmenn) on any basis. That's exactly why many Odinist NS organizations call male Magick practitioners 'sodomites' and 'Gomorroheans'. According to every text, ONLY women EVER were permitted to use Magick or divination under any circumstances. Even though seithr was associated with Odin, according to these 'texts', any man who used Magick, particularly to divine the future, was labelled as a coward and killed. That is also reflected in the so-called 'law canons'.
Having regressed myself, I noted how the enemy twisted the meaning of the mystery cults (especially those of Isis and Dionysus) with endless smears, bullshit and lies in this direction, so it wouldn't shock me if the same thing happened to Odin.
And from what I know, I wouldn't call it 'accepted', but it wasn't hated either. The closest thing one can say is that it was regarded mostly like how it is in Japan, past and present. There were niches for it, but others were not fans of it, and they had no reason to be fans because they didn't want to be involved or especially as a strapping boy get buttfucked by some aggressor, groomer or perv. Mostly people did not give a shit about things that had zero relevance to themselves.
But the idea of all of it coming out of nowhere doesn't stand up to scrutiny if you read Ancient Greek or Latin. If you read Catullus, Martial, Petronius, Macchius Plautus or Horace (a former slave) you are assaulted with sexual imagery (both hetero and homosexual) mostly among the 'plebs', NOT among some decadent and effeminate elite with 'Epsteins running round' (this opinion is straight outta the church fathers). Most of this material is hyper-explicit and over the top, so much so that the Victorians had to censor it or translate it badly deliberately. A lot of the stuff remaining from Pompeii is in this direction as well.
I agree with HP Cobra that jews, pro-gay lobby and others muddying the waters have lied about the term erotes [which in many cases just means 'meeting of the minds' and relates to Aprodite Urania, frankly a lot of the time it doesn't even make sense in a sexual context], and also lied about erastes and eromenos. There is nothing in the latter two terms that conveys anything sexual. That was also my experience in regression here too.
On the other hand, if you read something like Straton or various other Greek poets, you're greeted with something like this:
There is really no other way to translate that.
There is also the Ephesian Tale which is one of the few novel-length things from Ancient Greek. A female character called Kallirhoe replies to her boyfriend's accusations of sexual infidelity that he was with many boys himself before he was with her. The context of this remark frankly does not make any sense outside of her accusing him of one thing only.
Rightly or wrongly, the reason Xenophon's Socrates criticizes the idea Patroclus and Achilles were sexual together is because this was
already a widespread belief. The play of the Achilleis by Aeschlyus that supposedly made it latently erotic and was mega popular. However highminded the original play might have been, the fact Achilles says to Patroclus dead, naked body "you are ungrateful for the thousands of kisses I gave you" right after referencing his thighs probably didn't help. Other authors over the years comment on this play too.
There are also authors commenting on the line in the original Iliad where Achilles says that he wishes all other Greeks would perish at once, so he and Patroclus could conquer Troy alone. Understandably the strange and intense implications of this statement pissed off a lot of ancient commentators through the years. Other authors commented on the ashes being mixed and the tomb in the Odyssey and came to their own conclusions.
All of that does not make them gay, but obviously, the fact these insinuations existed isn't the product of a conspiracy in itself.
It's very easy to make an argument from omission on things like this and dress it up in a curated way to a YouTube audience who don't know anything about ancient history either way. Likewise Jackson claiming that earg means 'homosexual' when I've never seen a single Viking be called 'earg' in any of the texts for buttfucking a man. The petinence manuals from the church in England and France are mostly clear that it is an abomination on both sides, yet the Vikings don't direct this at the penetrator even once.
Then there is also the pro-gay lobby dressing every thing up as gay and just lying and not even making any sense whatsoever, as if an entire nation can prolong itself with fags or NAMBLA alone, and seeing the Epstein smear of that idiot as something positive, as if that isn't completely schizophrenic.
Egon said:
Are really there any homosexual Gods? I wonder, respectfully if there are those quotes from HPS Maxine or HP Hooded.
Any with inclinations toward the same sex are generally of the Demon orders and appear to those who request such a thing. The highest Gods, it's mostly entirely irrelevant as they only appear to humans in this specific context with past life ties, whatever combination that is. Ones that did not include Jake.
The bullshit about Set being the patron of BDSM for gays is absolutely ridiculous, given Set is a MONOGAMOUS GOD WITH A WIFE who represented monogamy in itself in Egypt . At least he got it right that Set is White I guess :roll:
