PAGAN COMING BACK IN NORTH EUROPE :
1. A 'Nithing pole', sometimes normalized as nithstang or nidstang, was a pole used for cursing an enemy in Germanic pagan tradition.
2. Nithing poles such as this have been popping up in Iceland more and more over the last few decades. Anna Björg, CEO of the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft in Hólmavik, says nithing poles are “pointed against someone you want revenge on” and considered deeply personal. She explains that it’s more serious when directed at an individual as opposed to a larger entity, such as an industry or the government. Björg says, “People take it like a death threat.”
3. National Bureau of Statistics declared Ásatrú as Iceland’s fastest-growing religion. It currently claims 5,000 followers, which is 1% of the population. After Christianity, Ásatrú is the most-followed religious organization in Iceland. Today, the followers (who call themselves Heathens) continue to reignite the Viking spirit, once again donning their traditional tunics and tipping their drinking horns to Norse gods and goddesses.
4. Remember, In Indian Astrology, hanging a horseshoe nail at the main entrance of a home is considered auspicious and helps ward off evil energies, especially during the adverse effects of Shani Mahadasha, such as the infamous Sadhe Saati or Shani ki Dhaiya.
