00:00:00.880Greetings, my esteemed Ladingtons. Welcome to the greatest Q&A.
00:00:05.500Now you might wonder why do I not have a shirt on, and usually it would be so that I could flex and pose and behave in that sort of way,
00:00:14.880but no, in all honesty, it's because it's simply too hot to have a shirt on.
00:00:20.860So you might think it's so I will flex my physique, but actually not. Not this time.
00:00:29.040Usually it would be exactly for that reason. I would be without a shirt, but now it's, yeah, it's too hot simply.
00:00:37.240Now let's get on to the questions at hand. We have the first one from Visigotorum.
00:00:44.100How did you get into paganism, and which are your ways to practice it? Cheers.
00:00:49.400So basically I got into the more metaphysical side of things only this year.
00:00:56.060Now before then, I approached paganism in a more, you know, as a way for me to express a biocultural identity.
00:01:05.540So I had, you know, a hammer of thought to show this is my allegiance in terms of bioculture and tribe.
00:01:11.380Some guys, they do it with tattoos, which is also, you know, a good, it can be a good way to, you know, show where your tribal allegiances lie.
00:01:21.900That is how I approached it before. Now, of course, I do approach it in a bit different way, where I have, as you probably have seen, if you follow me on Telegram, and if you have read my book reviews, I have approached it, I've begun to approach it in a slightly different manner.
00:01:41.820Now, that being said, what makes you a pagan is, technically speaking, if you sacrifice.
00:01:48.740So if you do sacrifice, I have done it this year, I've done it earlier years as well, and I simply, you know, pour a libation of mead.
00:01:57.240And, you know, you can say a little prayer or something like that.
00:02:00.820So that is what technically makes you a pagan. If you do sacrifice. If you don't, you're not a pagan. If you do, you are a pagan.
00:02:08.520And you don't need to sacrifice mead. You can pour a libation of wine, or you can offer some incense at your altar.
00:02:15.180It can be done in many different ways, but that is at least how you practice paganism.
00:02:20.600And, of course, I'm giving a very brief and general answer here.
00:02:23.580There are those who have been practicing pagans for a lot longer than I have, and, you know, who can give you a better answer.
00:02:29.860But that is the starting point, and I would also very much recommend you to read as much as possible about how our ancestors approached the divine.
00:02:42.220So I wrote a review of Mircha Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return. It's a good book. You can start with that.
00:02:49.380Then, of course, the other books I've reviewed are very insightful, especially the books by Stephen E. Flowers, as it pertains to Germanic and overall Indo-European spirituality.
00:03:01.040So, hopefully, that was somewhat informative.
00:03:06.540Now, second question is regarding journalism and investigative journalism, and whether it's a good way to contribute to the cause.
00:03:15.880And I would say, yes, it absolutely is. It's a great way to contribute to the cause, and this is something we need more of.
00:03:24.200And I am quite happy to say that we do have in Sweden a quite well-developed alternative media.
00:03:29.820Of course, since the mainstream media in Sweden has been so left-wing for so long, there has been a great demand for actual reporting,
00:03:38.960and now the supply and demand have met, as they usually do.
00:03:43.860So I would say that journalism is an honorable profession.
00:03:48.480And now you might think this is strange, since I usually bash journalists, but I do it because it is an honorable profession.
00:03:56.420But many journalists, they are simply acting as mercenaries for the regime.
00:04:02.840So instead of, you know, putting the pressure on the politicians, the regime, they are, you know, putting the heat on normal people who are just wondering what is going on.
00:04:16.200Most journalists, they have taken a very honorable profession and made it into basically mercenary work for the regime.
00:04:23.860But that being said, if you are a journalist with integrity, I salute you.
00:04:30.040I have great respect for the profession of journalism.
00:04:33.500So if you are a good person, then definitely do pursue that career path.
00:04:39.000And yeah, it takes a lot of courage to expose many of these corrupt politicians.
00:04:44.900So anyway, I had a few more questions, but I will actually save those for a coming podcast,
00:04:50.720because I want to go more in-depth regarding those questions.
00:04:54.800And lastly, because I am about to perish here in the heat.
00:04:57.940So I will try to seek out some sort of lake as soon as possible before perishing.
