If you’re a Norse heathen and believe that “race mixing” is bad

• remember that many of the gods are born from interracial pregnancies between the Aesir, Vanir, and Jotunns.

If you’re a Norse heathen and are transphobic or homophobic

• remember that many of the gods will alter their forms drastically, the most notable being Loki changing into mare and being impregnated by a male horse, and later giving birth to Sleipnir

If you’re a Norse heathen and fascist

• remember that vikings were largely democratic and would regularly hold votes to decide legal matters, and were incredibly accepting of other cultures

Re-blogging this for the Nazi who just started following me ❤

Great post, I feel the same way @danishheathen !

If you’re a Norse heathen and believe that excluding people with disabilities is fine

• remember that all deities deserve the same respect, even the disabled like for example Hödur

if you’re a Norse heathen and think being misogynist is cool

• remember how Freyja would slay you, how Skadi insisted on her revenge

If you’re a Norse heathen and think people with disabilities don’t deserve the gods:

Tyr is missing a hand asshole

Time to share this again!

Wow, it finally hit 5,000 notes!

Not to mention Odin is missing an eye, and also went on transgender sexual exploits.

In any case, as far as the disabled are concerned, let’s turn to Havamal, shall we?

Now granted, people have translated Havamal in so many ways, although often the ultimate meaning is intact. Anyway, verse 71 says:

The halt can manage a horse,
the handless a flock,
The deaf be a doughty fighter,
To be blind is better than to burn on a pyre:
There is nothing the dead can do.

This may be referring specifically to warfare, but the main point is still discernable: so long as one is living, they still can play a part in this world. And let’s not forget that the book is ultimately a guide on how to be a welcoming, kind person, while not tolerating injustice (although admittedly, verse 75 is a bit sketchy, as is the distrust of women. It’s a product of its time.)

In conclusion, Nazis are asshats, and we should be kind to people except them.

Reblogging again for good points.

And among the many interracial gods, Odin and Thor themselves are mixed race, as their mothers were Jötnar (Ice Giants).

If you’re a Norse heathen and dislike transvestites, may I remind you of the time Heimdall and Loki talked Thor into wearing drag.

Odin is also disabled, he is the one eyed god. Odin also has a questionable sexual orientation, as a master of Seid magic. Seidr was almost always described as “Ergi”, an old norse word which meant unmanly and possibly implied homosexuality. Seidr is also considered feminine.
