The Irminsul was a religious pagan pillar that towered over the
landscape. The structure played an important role in the religious
ceremonies of the Germanic style paganism of the Anglo Saxon people. The
oldest chronicle describing an Irminsul refers to it as a tree trunk
erected in the open air. The purpose of the Irminsul and the
implications thereof have been the subject of considerable scholarly
discourse and speculation among heathens and pagans for decades.
The phallic pillar was the symbol of the Saxon people before Christianization. This is the reason Charlemagne
wanted to decimate it first – by doing such would symbolize the
pulverization of the soul of the Saxons. The holy pillar overhung the
big sanctuary of the Externsteine, which stands near the city of Horn
(the name is vital as a result of the shape of the Irminsul – which has
what give off an impression of being horns). The Externsteine remains as
the beacon of the rapscallion world, the most blessed stead, surely, of
the Northern Tradition yesterday and today. Additionally, it serves as a
standout amongst the most essential religious and social focuses of the
ancient Europe.
The Irminsul as a symbol conveys a legacy of hope, improvement,
wisdom, knowledge and memory. It is a symbol to remind us of our most
beloved ancestors and a history of subversion. Additionally, the
Irminsul helps us to remember our condition of war against our
adversaries and our battle to enhance our people and our individual
selves in the face of outside forces focused on decimating, downsizing
and defiling our sacred spirits and fundamental holy natures. The
Irminsul as a symbol lives on in us. Different folkish Asatru gatherings
have received inspiration for their names through variations of
Irminsul around the world, in all Germanic countries, a resistant symbol
of our defiant and extraordinary religious heritage as Germanic folk,
from Angles and Saxons to Geats and Goths, children of the Aesir, and
Irminsul relates that immaculate and old legacy of honorability and sacredness.
This is the message we can draw from Irminsul. Its legacy as a great symbol of our Germanic and Norse spirituality speaks about a brighter future and a darker past. It brings a message of spiritual purity that is more important today than ever before.
Irminsul in its entirety is a creation of a pure Germanic language and people, that this name is known to us in Old Saxon demonstrates it is an integral symbolic and literal aspect of our ancestral Germanic spiritual and sacred history. The Irminsul is a symbol that we must carry upon our minds and within our hearts today and always.
