The view you, George and others represent insists that those sources
concerning the history of Germanic-speaking peoples which refer to
native traditions should be dismissed out of hand,

*****GK: Torsten is now stooping very low indeed. He is well aware that his "Odin of Asgard" Snorrist fantasies were hardly "dismissed out of hand", but were subjected to a very thorough discussion on this list some six years ago and more and found to be scientifically indefensible. Torsten could not accept this, and continued to inundate the list with posts reiterating his ideological obsession. He was then told to desist (cf. the old messages [15313, 29586 29592] I referenced yesterday). Recently he has begun what appears to be a return engagement, with the Suebian warlord Ariovistus in the role of Odin/Woden.****

thus treated
differently from other sources, a prejudice which is ideologically
motivated as can be seen in George's past insistence that I am an
'Odinist'.

"When the Przeworsk

and Zarubintsy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarubintsy_culture
cultures made contact, they mixed, and a (more or less forced)
division of labor arose: Slavic (from Zarubintzy) speaking farmers,
Germanic (from Przeworsk) speaking predators/rulers. A number of
people, refugees from the Mithridatic war north of the Black sea
arrives, carrying I1a, once carried by only a small group of people.
Somehow a few of them take over.

Woden/Ariovistus/Harjagist-, who had led a major campaign through the
Wetterau valley 'etc. etc."

Since I'm against prejudice, I can't accept that view.
