Amazing insights in this article by Eli James of "Anglo-Saxon Israel".
And to be clear on the title of this post, of course the Old Testament religion of the Israelites was not "pagan." Rather, the pagan Teutonic and Celtic religions are a mixture of Canaanite paganism and Old Testament Hebrewism. How? Because the Celts, Saxons, and other Northern European tribes are the descendants of the Israelites...who were banished from the ancient land of Israel in Palestine because they adopted Canaanite paganism, which they then carried with them when they migrated into Europe.
Myth: European Paganism Is of Non-Hebrew Origin
Many White pagans assume that Teutonic and Celtic paganism are of non-Hebrew origin. This is not true. The fact is that the main reason that Yahweh banished the Israelites into the wilderness was because of their acquired taste for paganism. The Israelites of the Ten Northern Tribes, especially under Jezebel (a Sidonian Canaanite woman) and Ahab, were practicing all sorts of pagan rituals, including human sacrifice and frolicking (sex orgies) in the groves. Ah! The good old days!!! These practices were borrowed from the neighboring Canaanites; and the false gods they worshipped were actually Canaanite gods and goddesses. We will here proceed to document the Canaanite origin of Celtic and Teutonic paganism among the Aryan nations.
Hosea 4:15-17 trells us, “…come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go you up to Bethaven…For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer…Ephraim is joined to idols.”
Bethaven means “house of Aven.” The Phoenician Israelites, who travelled back and forth to Britain, mining tin and other metals and bringing them back to Palestine, named numerous places after the place of the god, Aven, such as Avebury, the Avon River(s) and the town of Avening.
“The worship of Beth-Aven, in Canaan, and that of Avening in Gloucestershire, and that of Aven, Heliopolis or Baal Bec, were all identical. The stone altars, the high place, the calves’ bones discovered there, mark the similarity.” - Samuel Lysons, Our British Ancestors, p. 123.
“But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves, therefore will I cause you to go into captivity..” - Amos 5:26.
Moloch and Chiun were pagan gods adopted by the rebellious Israelites. Yahweh was getting very angry with His children. He was getting ready to cast them out into the wilderness of Europe.
“The Druids worshipped the sun under the title of Moloch, so we are certain that worship was derived from their Eastern ancestors.” – Dr. Thomas Maurice, Indian Antiquities, 1796.
Who were the Druids? The Druids were Levitical priests who abandoned Yahweh and officiated at the pagan rites of the rebellious Israelites! Their costumes matched the uniforms of the Israelite priests, down to the tiniest detail!
“The Irish Druids worshipped under sacred oaks, as the Israelites did. The Druids had a great veneration for the oak. The last act of Joshua was to place a great stone under an oak in the sanctuary…The Druids were considered to be a holy people, a nation of priests, common to all the tribes of Britain. Their duties, characteristics and dress were strikingly in consonance with those of the Levitical priesthood.” – Hugh B. Colquhoun, Our Descent From Israel Proved by Cumulative Evidence, p, 20.
‘Druid’ is the Celtic word for “oak.” The Druids were the high priests of the oak fraternity.
Chiun was a goddess of the Canaanites, and the Israelites began to worship her as well.
“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods…” – Hosea 1:18.
It is quite likely that the name Chiun is the Hebrew source for the surname Quinn and the English word Queen.
The Teutonic god, Odin, or Wotan, is actually the Scythian German King Odin, the warrior chief who organized the Teutons into a fighting force that defeated the Romans. He was a real descendant of the Israelites, not a god. Odin is also a word very similar to a Hebrew word for lord, Adon (Greek Adonis).
According to Sharon Turner in his monumental work The History of the Anglo-Saxons, citing the ancient Saxon Chronicles, the famous Odin actually lived in the 3rd century AD, and many of the kings of England, Germany and Scandinavia traced their descent from him. We have a tendency to make “stars” out of our heroes. The word Teut is an anglicized version of the German Deutsch, which is derived from the Latin (Roman) Deus, meaning “god.” The word Deutschevolk, therefore, means “God’s people.” This is exactly how the Israelites referred to themselves. No other people in history referred to themselves as God’s people, except the Israelites. All of the Celts and Saxons retained some form of this expression. The word British, in Hebrew, means “Covenant Man.” Brit is Hebrew for Covenant and Ish is Hebrew for “man.” The Saxon Goth and the German Gott both mean “God.” Gottish, therefore, means “God’s People.”
The Celtic Bel is identical to the Hebrew Baal; and the Beltrane feast is still celebrated in parts of Britain today. None of these people have any idea that they are practicing traditions brought to Europe by their pagan Israelite ancestors!
The Hebrew word, Al, meaning the sun, became the Phoenician Hal. In Celtic, it becomes Heaul; and in Greek it was Helios.
“All Celtic nations have been accustomed to the worship of the sun…It was a custom that everywhere prevailed in ancient times to celebrate a feast at the winter solstice…They called it, in many places, Yole or Yuul, from the word Hiaul.” - Professor Paul-Henri Mallett, Northern Antiquities, Vol. 2, p 68.
Now you know the origin of the word ‘Yule,” for Christmas, and why Christmas is celebrated right near the solstice, when all evidence suggests that Yahshua was born in late September.
The Catholic Church has been most guilty of blending paganism with Christianity, as Easter is really a hybrid pagan rite, derived from the worship of the Babylonian goddess, Ishtar. Ishtar was the goddess of fertility. Have you ever wondered what the Easter bunny has to do with the Crucifixion? The short answer is: “Nothing!”
Mary-worship can be traced back to Semiramis of Babylon. Statues of Semiramis show her as the prototypical “Madonna and child.” So, Christmas, Easter and the Madonna motif all contain pagan elements directly traceable to ancient Babylon.
Neo-pagans believe that the word, Saxon, derives from the word Axe. How the letter S was added to the word axe is obscure. What we know for sure is that Yahweh told Abraham that his offspring would be named after his son, Isaac. “In Isaac shall they seed be called.” – Gen. 21:12. Note that the Jewish people are NOT named after Isaac. Saxons = Isaac’s sons. Even if the word Saxon is derivable from the word, axe, it is still an Israelite connection, for in Jeremiah 51:20, Yahweh tells His people, Israel, “Thou art my BATTLE-AXE.” The Israelites were famous for their use of the battle-axe in war. Their descendants, the Scythians and Anglo-Saxons, were also famous for the use of this weapon. Yet it is evident, that the Scythian tribes who migrated into Europe were called Khumri by the Assyrians, hence the Greek Kimmeroi; and they were called Saka by the Persians, hence the Greek Sakae or Sakans, later Saxons. These names are well documented in the Greek classics and in the multilingual inscriptions of Mesopotamia.
In addition to telling us that we would be exiled for our pagan rebellion, Yahweh also told us that we would be known by another name. (Isaiah 62:2; 65:15.) “Caucasian” is the best bet, but Anglo-Saxon and Christian would also qualify as new names for His Israelite people. Many other similarities exist in the Germanic and Hebrew belief systems, such as an existence in an afterlife, heaven and hell (Valhalla and Niflheim) etc. {Niflheim bears an uncanny resemblance to the Hebrew word Nephilim, meaning the offspring of the fallen angels and the daughters of Adamite women, in Genesis 6.}
We are only scratching the surface of this subject. The Canaanite origin of the Celtic/Teutonic pantheon can be demonstrated in volumes of historical and linguistic connections. There is so much evidence of this fact that it is quite irrefutable. But, of course, few Whites or Christians are aware of the Israelites’ descent into paganism. It’s a forgotten chapter of the Bible. Neo-Pagans of today have no idea that they are actually worshipping the gods of the Canaanites, who were the true ancestors of today’s Jews.
So, who’s REALLY practicing a form of Judaism – Christian Identity or Neo-Pagans?
