Roman/Greek or Norse are the only other ones I would consider. Roman and Greek Mysteries that is. Norse, because it is derived from the traditional beliefs of my ancestors.

 

I picked Roman and Greek because of the vast sea of different faiths within their Empires; they absorbed many surrounding cultures, and had highly philosophical beliefs. The Pythagoreans and many of the Mysteries of the Greek and Roman World are very similar to Christianity, and likely were its core roots when combined with the Hellenized Jewish community, and writing their faith after hundreds of years of philosophical and mystical experience. If you believe in love, the existence of that force beyond the harshness of earthly judgmenet, if you have felt that thin moment, then think of these people who dwelt and explored it for all their lives. Christianity, is a religion of love and forgiveness, of non-violent defiance of the establishment - and these Mysteries of the ancient Greeks and Romans are closest.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
