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 -

I’d be wary of labeling anything as Germanic paganism. That veers hard into nineteenth century and early twentieth Pan-Germanism that is linked to white supremacy and Nazi shit.

This is actually why i was reaching out in a way. I ventured meekly out into some google searches just to see if i could find a good resource and it was weird fake archives from church sites and fascists. I am non-academic also so it's definitely not anything I've studied.

but also I'm trying to co-write something straight fantasy/folk tale and I really don't want to step on any culture but I did want to get into the headspace of what it would be live day to day.

So, this is difficult but even historians can perpetuate harmful ideologies and racism, so it can be difficult when you’re maybe unaware and read some scholarly stuff that isn’t great.
