additional point to my last reblog: it's my experience that a lot of what i consider just normal parts of my culture and heritage have in the past 90 years been bastardised and fucked up by nazis and neonazis. i would love nothing more than to wear some of my jewelry and clothing in public here but here in germany those items may be a indication for "nazi" rather than "norwegian" because they appropriated the runes and norse symbols and have made it infinitely harder for any scandinavian that want to acknowledge our norse heritage
#it's the same with the st hans celebration i can't really celebrate it here first for a lack of community#and second because it's been warped in the public perception to somehow be linked with nazis#and the hunt in the 20s/30s after the true aryan race and pagan belief systems etc etc#it just makes me sad as a norwegian person who just wants to be a little more in touch w their culture
