@@AnnaBridgland Thank you. Can I ask, how do you spell the name of the gnome that can walk through earth and stone like air, and is unfriendly? Pusslinger? Pusslinged? I want to do some research on it, and maybe even make a story about it, but I don't know how to spell its name.

Why is it that Christianity thinks helpful or neutral pagan spirits are bad? Because they're pagan/not in the bible?
Lot of similarities between these and the Irish Other Crowd especially the christian origin story
Oh Christians. We ruin everything

@@cathleenmoyle1476 The church saw pagan beliefs as a threat to Christianity. So that's why they worked meticulously to create these associations. However Christianity also absorbed many pagan and Greco/Roman traditions and beliefs and this was largely tolerated and even encouraged by the earliest Christian denominations, because it's easier to convince people to convert to a new religion if they get to keep their traditions and superstitions. This is f.ex. why Paul supposedly removed the restrictions on eating pork and shellfish: he missioned towards non-Jewish people and he knew that the strict rules in Judaism would turn non-Jews right off. This is also why Christmas is basically just the Roman holiday of Saturnalia mixed with Northern Germanic pagan winter solstice traditions with a Christian label slapped on to it. When you think about it the Western Christmas rites are pretty much just old pagan rites with a very thin Christian veneer. After all; Saturnalia and winter solstice were major religious holidays and it was easier for Christianity to just rebrand them instead of abolishing them. Fun fact: the early Christian missionaries here in Denmark wanted us to adopt the word Christmas too (in Danish Kristmesse) however they didn't really succeed so we just continued calling it by the old name for the pagan winter solstice: Jul or Yule in English.

Blame the Romans who brouught that shit with them when they conqured us. Think of how many witches were executed for nothing. Fornaligning with Lucifer, who doesn't exist.
