Asatru Folk Assembly - Divine Individuality

00:00:00.000 with the best of intentions sometimes there are divinities that that are um confused because

00:00:12.400 they're coming from different sources and they're named different things when they're really a

00:00:16.160 singular divinity of course that of course that happens in the body of our literature at some

00:00:21.280 point but there's a far cry from picking those that we have solid foundation and solid reason

00:00:29.120 to believe are the same and trying to mash lots of them together because it just makes it easier

00:00:38.400 the end of the day if these are just archetypes and this is all just kind of a symbolic our

00:00:44.400 rituals are a symbolic game that we play mentally to focus on different archetypes then it doesn't

00:00:51.840 matter why don't we just you know make it as simple and as clean as we can because that would

00:00:56.960 be really easy but they're not they are literal gods and literal goddesses and therefore our

00:01:05.920 building an actual personal relationship with them is the purpose of our religion

00:01:13.440 and the practice of our religion it's the purpose of being also true and so we endeavor to do that

00:01:20.480 with a mind towards individual personality as best as we can.
