Hi #medievaltwitter, a non-medievalist friend is doing some research for a book they're writing and finding it hard to find any reliable sources on Germanic paganism, especially day-to-day life in a non-Christian community.

I'd love to help but it's just not really my area!
@AdmiralHip @LotsBae@HalstedMedieval@Braciatrix@StephenHewer@conor_kostick@NiallOSuill I don't know if any of you have really looked at this either, but if you happen to have come across anything?5 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Pagan means 'rural'. It's an insult against urbane people. So start with questioning the terminology and what point of view it upholds to use it that way. It's christocentric to refer to all polytheists as 'pagan'.

I was trying to condense the question into a tweet, Stephen. I am going to tell him to put Anglo-Normans in the book.

That's cool. Do whatever ye want. There's a whole FB group dedicated to keeping 'anglo-' words alive and in use

Stephen, pagan is not equivalent to using Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Norman and if you have a better term for non-Christians who aren’t Jewish or Muslim then feel free to share, I’d love to know. Non-Christian is what I use but it’s not that useful.

Not all pagans are polytheistic. Or believe in gods.
