Christmas Trees = Pagan Idolatry of Asherah?
Read through this a couple nights ago, some was a little out there, but some was spot on with my truth detector.


I read jeremiah 10 a while ago and once thought about the christmas tree, took some actual research to learn about other idols prevalent everywhere in society though.

What one culture in the far past attributed to a tree isn't the same as now, bringing a tree into the house and decorating is now just bringing a tree into the house and decorating it, ya know. Never knew of anyone making a god out of it. You got a plant in your house, better get rid of it, i'm sure pagans did that too.

the point is not to wrap yourself in a bubble, it's awareness of the madness that dwells in society. materialism and consumerism are a dangerous threat to the younger kids and people of our time. all the "i want that NOW" and sense of entitlement are really scary.


Truth is a good thing, but I obviously don't recommend becoming manic over the situations we face.

It's all about Mushrooms.

They'd grow under certain evergreens and they'd be harvested, dried in stockings over the fire, and consumed where all manner of winter spirits would manifest in visions of sugar plums, elves, reindeer etc.

The Yule log has frequently been associated with having its origins in the historical Germanic paganism which was practiced across northern Europe prior to Christianization.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49179783


given the spiritual world we live in, as soon as we see decorated pine trees, obviously "christmas" comes to mind. for many, presents and money are then surfaced. this is the connection to the "asherah", a form of wealth, or fertility in your life. when we receive presents we feel refreshed and renewed, strong and joyful. that's fertility in essence.

I guess the connection to the birth of Jesus Christ and an "asherah" tradition would correlate with fertility too.


and the point of this thread is not to change any of your beliefs or attitudes, it's to show you mine. not to force these ideas on you, but I think it's interesting to ponder culture/society/gapless trends of humanity.

but it's true, it's just a tree. which is why i see no sense in paying 200 dollars for one lol (ironic about the simplistic nature of the theme and connection to the "best shaped, tallest, firm [fertile] tree though). nobody wants a small tree :D

I gave up Christmas (and pretty much every other holiday) several years ago, for my own personal AND religious reasons.

It's a fact "Christianity" adopted paganism! All of it's "holidays" are pagan and none of the Lords. Christmas (Christ mass) on the 25 Dec. is Sol Invictus (sun god worship), Easter (Ishtar goddess of fertility),on and on. The facts are all verifiable.

No Easter does not come from Ishtar. That's just some dribble that David dIcke made up

The English word "Easter" relates to Estre, a Teutonic (German) goddess of the rising light of day and spring. No one seems to know why this English word was used for the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The great feast of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was celebrated long before the unchristian English word "Easter" was first used. And the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is directly related to the Jewish feast of Passover going back to about 3,000 B.C.E.

Most other languages use the Jewish/Christian word for "Passover" for the great celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that English speakers call "Easter."

The Greek term for "Passover" is Páskha. It is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew pesach (meaning passover). Other languages:

Afrikaans: Paasfees
Albanian: Pashkët
Breton: Pask Seder
Catalan: Pasqua
Chamorro: Pasgua
Cornish: Pask
Danish: Påske or Paaske
Dutch: Pasen or Paschen
Esperanto: Paskon
Finnish: Pääsiäistä
French: Pâques
Galician: Pascuas
Icelandic: Páska
Indonesian: Paskah
Italian: Pasqua
Jèrriais: Pâques
Latin: Pascha
Norwegian: Påske
Portuguese: Páscoa
Scottish: Pask
Sicilian: Pasqua
Spanish: Pascuas
Swahili: Pasaka
Swedish: Påsk
Welsh: Pasg

Even in the German provinces of the Lower Rhine where the Teutonic goddess Estre had its origins, the people call the feast Paisken not Ostern.

Re: Christmas Trees = Pagan Idolatry of Asherah?
also, the antichrist's kingdom started by polluting the earth the "fornication with kings", or the procreation of wickedness, putting forth sin.


satan is all about sex, in the physical and spiritual.

this procreation of satanic ideals has been passed through the ages to each kingdom in its own way.

notwithstanding, i think it's safe to say the end times babylon will be doing this on a "right here right now" basis, not just through transcendence of time.

Re: Christmas Trees = Pagan Idolatry of Asherah?
Regardless of Passover, the Ishtar fertility festival celebrated during Spring Equinox with all of her symbols like Rabbits, eggs, pastels and orgies.

It was these celebrations adopted and glommed on to Passover/Resurrection celebrations to have broad appeal.

Pagans kept calling it Ishtar and it stuck.

Re: Christmas Trees = Pagan Idolatry of Asherah?
Christmas was outlawed in this country at one time. I have found that the "devil" is in the "details", as the old saying goes. The American author Washington Irving penned a work called "The Sketch Book"; wherein, it contained "Old Christmas" which ties strong emotional feelings to that time of year. That particular work also contains, "The Devil and Tom Walker" among many other noteworthy works.
