Happy New Years Eve (2014)

Tonight the year 2014 ends and 2015 begins and I look back at the year and what I'm hoping to do for the new year and for this blog. Even though I've just started this blog I do have huge plans for it. This past year I celebrated one year being a Cultus and trying to find where I belonged in the community. I encountered trolls and haters, mostly within the Norse community that didn't understand that there might be Roman cultus that do worship the Norse gods.

I celebrated two years away from our slumlord and we had birthdays, celebrations, and so much more. This year I also got serious about my religion and being a cultus, including beginning writing my book. I will add that I started several blogs, most of them that I'm continuing to write. For this year I want to expand my altar, write more on this blog, get a job, and be more involved with Cultus community. I would like to add learn more about my revivalist path that I've chosen within the realm of Roman religion.

So tomorrow we honor Janus as well as the gods for the beginning of the month of January. I hope that all of you will have a good New Years Eve and I'll be back tomorrow.

HAIL TO THE GODS OF ROME!!!!

Communitas Populi Romani (English) Video

I found this video yesterday and subscribed to the channel. I find this video very uplifting and very powerful. Beautiful and wonderful at the same time. There isn't a ton of video's like this out there and I'm glad that this person uploaded it. The Roman Empire was defeated, not buy swords, but by new religion that managed to overcome and change the hearts and minds of Romans and moving them away from what their ancestors practiced.

It was gradual cultural genocide as well as religious genocide. One that we know to be morally wrong and against everything that we hold dear today. However we must also understand that it can happen again and it's happening in other parts of the world. Here in America religion, or the belief in anything, is still being mocked. And it's not those that just live their lives, but don't believe in anything, it's the 'in your face' mockers.

Those that want to put you down and make it sound as though their not. The worst part is that most will say 'well if your offended by what someone says, then your faith isn't strong.' Christians mocked Roman religion, made arguments against it, and destroyed it. Injected reason, or their reasoning, into it. And then killed you if you didn't convert fast enough for them. Thankfully the gods have taken care of them upon their deaths and we don't have to worry about them.

But we do have to worry about this new wave of mockers. Loud and annoying Atheists that see the declining numbers of Christians in churches and believe that their pounding into your head reasoning is why the number has gone down. They worship Science and demand that it replace religion as the only truth that's out there. Science can answer all, they say, you don't need a divine god, or even the gods, to fulfill your life. And if you mock them, your looked down upon.

The truth of the matter is that most are returning to their ancestral religion and not leaving religion. Or their worshiping at home and refusing to be apart of something that's all about money. I'm proud to be one of those that have returned to the religion of my ancestors and I do hope that you enjoy this video.

What I Did During Saturnalia

Santurnalia is over, well it's been over for a couple of days, and first of all I hope that everyone had a good one. Mine was so so, but I did include the gods at some point during the whole thing. Santurnalia is the holiday that was very popular during Roman times and is believed to be the foundation of modern Christmas celebrations. We celebrate the return of the unconquerable sun and the warmth that will soon come with it.

Santurnalia was a time of fun, parties, sacrifice, and thanks to the god Saturn. I didn't do parties, as I'm the only Cultus that I know, but I did enjoy time with my family. No booze, as I can't stand the stuff. I kept the spirit of the holiday alive and enjoyed myself, gave offerings to the gods, and thought about the coming year. I hope that all of you will have a wonderful remainder of your month and I see you all around.
