My Thoughts on Odinism and Hellenism

On my bookshelf are works such as the Poetic Edda
Ovid's Metamorphoses, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey
Virgil's Aeneid and Horus' Odes and Epodes.
 Like Lewis I'm tempted---yes, it's a temptation---
To reconstruct them. However, with all religions---
Pagan included---there are moral aberrants.

In Odinism, particularly, it was the religion of the Nazi Party.
But, more imperatively---the more enticing religion---
Is Hellenism. Yet, at its core is sin and passion.

It was told to me by a beloved person
That Dionysius was Satan---or the Greek Satan.
Deriving a meaning for Satan,
That Satan is imbued with passion, sexuality, drunkenness.
I have to say that Ovid is full of beautiful scenes.
The Pagan religion enticing the flesh.
I could never be swayed to Odinism, as it's racist---
But, Hellenism I could be swayed to it for its focus
On beauty and passion.
In fact, it was my religion as a child.
Not literally, but in all the passions I had
Pan and Syrinx, or Byblis' love for Caunus
Came closest. I was unbridled---
Much was my proclivity toward passion.
And that is what the Greek Religion is
Is a celebration of human passion.
Feeling the liquor of pure emotions---
Whatever is their source.

In my adulthood, I realize that this was precisely 
The dirty thing I abhorred most.
I was overwhelmed with Peace---
And that peace came from loving Jorgia.
Not to say that Jorgia was my God---
But, that the feeling of Peace became 
The highest form for religious emotion.
It's the thing I'm bringing men to in my writing.
I find in the Christian religion---
Its mythology, its architecture, 
Its music, its painting, its worship
Its religion, its cultural impact,
That it best reflects the peace I found through Jorgia.
Prior to that, I had not known it---
I was much like Ovid's depictions
Filled with enraged passions.
It was in effect my religion---
That of Eros, but Jorgia brought me knowledge
Of something deeper than Eros.
She brought me knowledge of peace.
And imbued in that peace came direct communion with God.
It was far superior.

So, I reject Hellenism and Odinism
Odinism for the reason that it killed 14,000,000 people
On its last manifestation.
Hellenism because it is the religion of the world
As it exists today---and that religion is passion
Without recourse to law.
