Heathens Against Hate - Tumblr Posts

The hammer of Thórr is not a symbol of violence, but an amulet which we, as norse pagans, can turn to for protection and comfort. It is a symbol of our faith, but it is not a symbol of hate. It never was and it never will be. Thórr as deity and as mythological figure has never represented any sort of “model” for masculinity. And no, his myths have never made him into a misogynist or a racist figure. Search all you want, his myth has never condoned discrimination. Therefore, it is not to be used as a means of glorifying one’s discriminatory political standpoints. The hammer we wear around our necks is a symbol of faith and protection, and nothing more. Let us tolerate no hate within heathen circles.
