Modern times, unlike natural times, lets the weak and feeble minded roam the earth. Now safe from nature’s wrath, the frail are free to reproduce in multitude. For what was once ruled by the strong is now freely given to the weak. But weaklings being what they are, incapable of self-sufficiency, require the deeds of the strong to survive. It is hence only until the strong have had enough of the troubles the weak create that an overtaking can occur. And no doubt will it occur, for natural law cannot be overruled for long.

Some of the oldest archaeological finds from Dublin are Anglo-Saxon, however its the Norse who are credited with the founding of Dublin or Dubh Linn – the Black Pool.

A term associated with the Norse folk of Dublin was Tomar which was an Irish name for Thunor/Thor. Early Irish texts referred to Dublin’s inhabitants as the ‘Muintir Tomar’ or Thor’s People and that there was a temple just outside of Dublin’s walls called the ‘Caill Tomair’ or Thor’s Woods or Grove which housed a silver ring dedicated to Thor called the ‘Fail Tomar’.

An interesting ring found in Sysmä, Finland. It was found in an 11th Century burial, but the decoration suggests it was made earlier in the 7-8th Century, and likely imported from Scandinavia; possibly a Vendel depiction of Odin, flanked by Freki and Geri. Their front legs make up the outer edges of the frame, their paws against the face.

Paganism allows men to be maximally masculine.
Paganism allows women to be maximally feminine.
Paganism brings men and women together to form strong cohesive families.
Paganism brings families together to form strong cohesive communities.

Tl;Dr with Paganism, you solve all societal problems, which is why Pagan Revivalism is inevitable

Loki’s daughter is not clearly identified as Hel in any of the existing Eddaic poems. In light of this, it’s important to note that the description of “Hel’s high hall” stands in stark contrast to the hall of Loki’s daughter in Snorri’s Edda.
In the Eddaic poem Baldrs Draumar, whereas the benches in “Hel’s high hall” are strewn with costly things and mead stands poured out in goblets awaiting a guest, the hall of Loki’s daughter (whom Snorri calls Hel) is a dismal place with its dish called “Hunger” and its knife named “famine.”
The Eddaic poems clearly distinguish this place from Hel, the realm where “all men” must eventually come according to Fáfnismál 10.
