Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
Historians are the Cassandras of the Humanities
Re: history vs mythos
Date: January 21st, 2009 10:37 pm (UTC)I'm not saying that the magazine Ostara presented a "real" historical Paganism. In fact, it did as you say, re-present a Paganism that was German Romaticism/Teutonism.
I think the motives for the "throw away" comments with NeoPaganism and Hilter are simply to paint the figure of Hitler as "evil", rather than trying to understand the whole situation of how democracies fall into the trap of embracing facism.
