You see this image floating around the internet tagged with Hail the Old Gods, but the actual rock tells the real story.
This is runestone U 1011 in Orby, Sweden. It was carved in the late 11th century, credited to a master carver named Fot, right at the tail end of the Viking Age.
The carved ribbon looping around the edge is classic Urnes style dragon work, but right dead in the center sits a clear Christian cross.
Runes cut into the granite translate down to something simple: Vigmundr raised this stone in memory of Iofurfast, his mother. May God help their souls.
Social media loves slapping pagan slogans over ancient monoliths because it looks cool, but the facts on the ground are different. Most of these late 11th century Swedish stones were carved by Norsemen who had converted to Christianity, putting down good money to carve a permanent marker for their family.
Real history over internet aesthetics. Every mark in that granite had a name, a mother, and a reason.

The nature of sacrifice in pre-axial actual Hellenic ancestral faith.
At the end, it talks about a deal the Athenians & others made whilst fighting the Persians. This debunks claims made by axialists stating that sacrifices were sometimes, not all the time, conducted in exchange for divine assistance, especially in times of crisis or desperation. Plato wanted to do away with these types of sacrifices, viewing it as little more than rank commerce. However the actual Pagan ancestors understood that not only can sacrifice grant divine favor, but also in the important of making and fulfilling vows, not just to each other but also to the divines.
