| | Vanguard News Network Forum - The Germanization of Christianity |
 | | Germanic pagan peoples had a clear sense that war was a religious undertaking, in which the gods were interested. | | | The social and spiritual needs of the Germanic peoples were being adequately fulfilled from the sources within their own societies. | | | The sociopsychological response of the Germanic peoples to this inculturated form of Christianity included the acceptance of those traditionally Christian elements which coincided with Germanic religiosity and the resolution of dissonant elements by reinterpreting them in accordance with the Germanic ethos and world-view. |

| | The basic ingredients that went into the making of a distinctly European civilization were the cultural legacy of Greece and Rome, the customs and traditions of the Germanic and Slavic peoples, and the Christian Church. | | | As the Roman Empire disintegrated in the West, civic functions were performed first by church leaders and then by Germanic chieftains. | | | After losing their homeland to the Han, the Mongolian tribe called the Huns began moving westward from China, and around 1,600 years ago they were pushing into northwestern India, where they destabilized the Guptan Empire, and into northern Europe, where they triggered massive Germanic invasions into the Roman Empire. |

| | Germanic Invasions |
| | By the late third and fourth centuries some peoples were moving into a semi-civilized state, as marked by the swift acceptance of Christianity on their entry into the Empire and the translation of part of the Bible into Gothic by Ulfilas (consecrated bishop in 340). | | | Even thereafter most of the Germanic chieftains gave deference to the emperor in the east, so long as he did not actually try to rule them; and Odoacer himself was overthrown in 493 by Theodoric, leader of the Ostrogoths, who had been directed toward Italy by the eastern emperor. | | | Although all frontiers of the Empire were assailed at one point or another in the third century, the most serious blows were delivered by the Germans. |

| | "Externae Gentes: Scandinavia Romana" (2000) |
| | He divides Germanic tribes into five confederacies of which the Inguaeones (Cimbri, Chauci, Teutoni) are considered to be Scandinavian Germanic peoples living from Skagen to Skåne (another confederacy, this one being mainland Swedish in nature, called the Vandals comprised of the following tribes: Burgundiones, Varinnae, Charini, Gutones or Goths). | | | The Cimbri being known among their Germanic kind as "robbers" is taken from Strabo and would seem to explain another reason why the Cimbri decided to suddenly attack the Romans: they had already alienated their nearby kindred. | | | Caesar's misinformation on the religious practice of the Germans was probably based on ethnographic motifs of nomadic Scythians (and other vaguely northern peoples) and early Mediterranean religious practice. |

| | The Anglo-Saxon Pagan Calendar |
| | The Norse once used a calendar of only six 59 day months (or double months) which indicates the idea was not alien to Germanic peoples. | | | Even their religion is very close to the ancient Germanic one with components such as a World Tree, and deities similar to our own such as the thunder god Perkunas who is not a far cry from the ever familiar Þunor (Thor), not to mention a Sun goddess and Moon god. | | | The earliest calendars of most ancient societies seem to have been established to keep track of religious observances. |

| | This is a time that was holy to all Pagan and Heathen peoples of ancient times, whether Germanic or Celtic, and still is today. | | | This is also backed up by the fact that the ancient Germanic people regularly sacrificed in times of war. | | | The celebration should include appropriate blots to the gods, and a feast should be prepared to be eaten and shared by all those present in honour of the gods and goddesses. |

| | As early as the Second Century, the Marcomanni fought against and alongside the Roxolani and Quadi, but as the Goths and other East Germanic peoples settled on the steppes, they began to adopt many aspects of the culture of their Indo-Iranian neighbours the Alans and Sarmatians. | | | This group is for the discussion of all aspects of these steppe peoples, their contact with their Germanic neighbours, and their impact on the history of Europe. | | | As the Germanic peoples expanded east and south onto the plains of the Ukraine, they came into contact with several nomadic horse tribes which had a profound influence on their history and cultures. |
