[QUOTE="ChildOfAsh420, post: 8676547, member: 7036739"] Possibly to outsiders, it's a major stereotype kind of like saying, all Christian, and Jewish denominations can be lumped together because of common origin. Technically they ALL originated circa 3,000 bce and were spread far and wide by the Indo- European group commonly referred to as the Aryans. Not the Hitler Aryans idea of 6' tall with blonde haired and Blue eyes. The Aryans that were Half Indian half European and mostly Nomadic. After the Era Known as the Aryan invasions circa 2,000 bce the Aryan Tribes became a majority of the Eurasian Continent, their ways and religion were spread from France to Northern China, the Vedic texts and the Eddas spawned from their teachings and ways. About a millennia and a half later the Teutonic tribes began making permanent homes around northern Germany, in the dark ages 536ad the Germanic poems, and stories had spread north into Norway, Denmark, Switzerland etc. The Authority of the Roman empire attempted to purge Paganism for nearly a thousand years throughout that time. Making it legal to kill or convert ALL Pagans. This made it hard to spread the Ideas of the Teutons and is the reason that for over a thousand years of written language passing by them, no texts were found of their beliefs. Until just recently Snorri's Edda was THE only source. Which was written at a date about 4,500 years after the first archeological finds we have found showing this set of Gods (Woden, Thunar, Freya) . So .. long answer short .. no they are not the same. But yes they came from the same origins. The differences came over time. [/QUOTE]
