The Pagan Sites of Europe Remembered: (11) Donar's Oak, Geismar, Germany

The site of the Donar Oak with a statue showing St. Boniface atop a tree stump

An oak tree that once stood at the town of Geismar in central Germany was sacred to the pagan god Thor. We know this because the somewhat fanciful account of its destruction was gleefully preserved by the Christian chroniclers of the cultural genocide of Europe's indigenous culture.

The criminal responsible was St. Boniface, an Anglo-Saxon churchman who spread the new totalitarian doctrine of Christianity throughout Germany. As so often was the case, the Christians then occupied the unique sacred site by building one of their standard-issue church buildings. One of his followers, also an Anglo-Saxon, called Willibald wrote about this event in "The Life of St. Boniface" sometime between 754 and 768:

Now many of the Hessians who at that time [the year 723] had acknowledged the Catholic faith were confirmed by the grace of the Holy Spirit and received the laying-on of hands. But others, not yet strong in the spirit, refused to accept the pure teachings of the Church in their entirety.

Moreover, some continued secretly, others openly, to offer sacrifices to trees and springs, to inspect the entrails of victims; some practiced divination, legerdemain and incantations; some turned their attention to auguries, auspices and other sacrificial rites; whilst others, of a more reasonable character, forsook all the profane practices of heathenism and committed none of these crimes.

With the counsel and advice of the latter persons, Boniface in their presence attempted to cut down, at a place called Gaesmere, a certain oak of extraordinary size called by the pagans of olden times the Oak of Donar. Taking his courage in his hands (for a great crowd of pagans stood by watching and bitterly cursing in their hearts the enemy of the gods), he cut the first notch.

But when he had made a superficial cut, suddenly the oak's vast bulk, shaken by a mighty blast of wind from above, crashed to the ground shivering its topmost branches into fragments in its fall. As if by the express will of God (for the brethren present had done nothing to cause it) the oak burst asunder into four parts, each part having a trunk of equal length. At the sight of this extraordinary spectacle the heathens who had been cursing ceased to revile and began, on the contrary, to believe and bless the Lord.

Thereupon the holy bishop took counsel with the brethren, built an oratory from the timber of the oak and dedicated it to St. Peter the Apostle

    1. To you petty christian troll:

      Seem like your masochrist couldn't defend himself or his own when he was crusified and in the following centuries until a stupid roman emperor thought it would be nice to have more mindless slaves.

      And if you think they don't strike back, try looking at the "christ the redeemer" in Brasil. You christian scum.

    2. Daikan: Agreed. I wonder how they cried when a "monument" called "Touchdown Jesus" was torched by lightning. "Big Butter Jeebus!"

    3. Man, the gods must be really weak if it took them that long to get revenge lol. I'm sure it was the gods, not the fact that tall structures tend to get hit by lightening, it had a metal frame, and was made out of flammable styrofoam or anything. Also, if you think Jesus was never meant to be crucified, read the Bible m9, he talked about it before it even happened. If you want to call the Christian God cruel, look at your own. Zeus sure had an appetite for women. If they were humans, we would call them savages.

  3. I don't know how anyone can argue that Christianity is a religion of peace. Perhaps it was ORIGINALLY designed as such, but it's own followers perverted and destroyed it to horrible ends.

    1. No it was never designed as such, read the Bible and you will see that it never talks about love and peace, it talks about dividing everyone, it talks about how much their god hates pagans, how all christians must hate us and destroy us, and remember they say Love jesus or burn for eternity, its more of a sociopath religion with a bunch of happy happy sico sheeps

  5. As born and still observed, Christianity is a religion of peace, however individuals since that time have strayed from the course. The next time someone smacks your cheek, just see how hard it is to turn the other one. The headings used to describe Boniface betray the authors prejudices. I find Germanic paganism interesting in an academic way only.

    1. Sorry, but if you read the Bible you will see it doesnt talk about peace and love, it talks about destroying and burning down your enemies....even your Jesus said it he is not a bringer of peace....look for it and be amazed by the truth -_-

  6. I wonder what the Kristjans said when "Touchdown Jeebus" was torched by the thunderbolt. I'll gladly and proudly KEEP my Pagan holies and you know what? I don't need saving from an imaginary "sin". I do wrong, I'll own up and pay up. It's simple honourable behavior. I'm not perfect but I don't need to apologise for being human like the Kristjans seem to think.
    Hail Thor, mofos. :-P

  7. Christianity today is a far cry from what was started in Judea 2000 years ago. It wasn’t meant to be anything more than a sect of Judaism. But just like today some greedy people saw in it the potential to usurp local authority. A parallel today would be all these fundamentalist churches popping up. So Constantine the roman emperor being nobody’s fool said to himself, “This new religion teaches people to bow before authority. I bet if I make it the official religion of Rome I could tighten my control over the empire even more.” Thus he consolidated all the little fringe Christian churches and crushed all those who didn’t follow his Christianity. In reality Christians do not follow Jesus, but Constantine.
    If you notice most of Protestant Europe is north of where the Roman Empire stopped. Rome could never really get a foothold into northern Europe where the old Teutonic Gods were the strongest. The old ones have been working to break the hold of the Latin Church since it invaded. The split with Rome was just a first large step. We are as much a part of them as they are a part of us. Our ancestors who rejected the Latin tyranny just didn’t realize who was behind it. They were so afraid of stepping too far away from the accepted cult they couldn’t make a clean break. It took centuries to get to the point where we can stand up proudly and say I believe in the Gods of my ancestors. My Ancestors were not thuggish barbarians, but decent honest people who loved their families and communities. The Latin church knows this so it has been focusing on “Latin America” where its doctrine of no birth control and have more babies is creating a new army for them. People need to wake up and smell the coffee. The fight isn’t over.
