Buhurt medieval violence

Although there were many so-called heretical movements throughout the Middle Ages, these six had the greatest impact and would inspire others: Paulicians, Bogomils, Cathars, Waldensians, Lollards, Hussites.

The ultimate heresy was Europe's natural affinity for Music and Medicine via its original Pagan past of its 1st Age.
Before it became oppressed by Religion, in the form of Christianity, from the Middle-East.
So far, Germany has finally freed itself from that oppression (which turned them in Nazis eventually) and is doing well in its true European nature of Music and Medicine.
France is next. Italy (the fall of the Vatican) and Greece to follow.

The medieval world had the notion that music had measurable therapeutic value. From the story of David and Saul, perhaps the oldest account of applied music therapy that we possess, music was viewed as an integral element of the healing arts.

I'm talking pre- Christianity Europe, even pre-Judaism, etc.
When Europe had a very 'health & medicine' base pagan culture of early surgical practices (later embraced by early Rome) from Iberia to Anatolia. What would be condemned by Christianity as witchcraft later, healers of the woods in eastern Europe lands.

Mohommedism is the Mid-East interpretation of Black Africa.
Judaism is the Mid-East interpretation of Yellow Asia.
Christianity is the Mid-East interpretation of Europe, except that unlike the other two - Christianity moved into Europe itself, to dominate like a great replacement.

I think Tolkien's success is that although he was very Christian, he did capture the essence of Europe PRE-religion from the Mid-East, to some degree.

...but Europe is breaking free of its religious Right-wing oppression. Back to Medical, back to Music with Eurovision.
Germany cracked, died and was reborn back to its true European self.
Now it's France's turn.

Orpheus tradition or shamanism?

Great clip Tallo.

Complex indeed.
I can only translate such, in the modern world...
The Many Gods of the North American realm of Art (Marvel, DC, etc) that represent the collective mind of the many.
Balanced by the One God of the North American realm of Politics (the President).
A One God of Art could not exist in a positive nature 'among' the Many Gods of Art. He or she would become as villain (Thanos). Nor could any Many Gods of Politics exist in unison around the One God of Politics. Too much of a good thing, but a state of sterility lacking difference to any 'greater' effect.
But.
In Australia, it can balance out again, if it were the One God of Art and the Many Gods of Politics - here.
Thus both Art & Politics can have representation of both One God and Many Gods in symbiosis and and difference.
