Dionysus and Saturn are both still worshiped in modern day Neo Paganism. The canaanite gods, as well as the maya gods may also be worshiped today as part of modern paganism, though i may be incorrect on that, as those traditions are not ones that I am well educated on, nor am I related to anybody who is.
The Maya religion isn't extinct. it's still around, even with its own religious text, the popol vuh. Zoroastrianism is still around. I've seen people on dating apps with zoroastrianism as their religion. Saturn worship still does exist within certain pagan communities.
Honestly, you gave a fairly decent overview of Zoroastrian beliefs, considering it's meant to be short and simple. Just to add some additional context on Ahura Mazda and angra mainyu (which would have something closer to ahra mainyu in the Gathas), ahra mainyu is a virtual existence; it means "destructive mentality" and is the antithesis of Spenta Mainyu - which is Ahura Mazda's Progressive Mentality and the underlying Principle or Vector for Creation to achieve its perfection. Ahra mainyu is the principle (or anti-principle) that leads Creation back towards the primordial Void; or nothingness. As for Ahura Mazda, He is referred to in the Gathas as The Source of All Existence, The Very Father of Truth, and The Very First and the Last. There's a lot of philosophy that goes into what this battle between good and evil exactly means, but I won't go into it here.
The use of the Celtic symbol was a creative choice intended to represent the general theme of ancient and mystical religions. While it isn't directly related to Canaanite or Saturn worship, it helps convey the ancient and mysterious nature of these belief systems. Thanks for watching though 🙏
@@Toonexplainer_Canaanite Religion didnt came from Indo-European Polytheism tho, but from both Ancient Egyptian Polytheism and Ancient Mesopotamian Polytheism. Roman Paganism came from Indo-European Polytheism indeed.❤
Saturn worship, Dionysus worship, and The worship of Mayan gods still exist just in different ways. Those are the ones I know that are still alive I think
Many of these have revival movements or never went extinct. Like Zoroastrianism that has over 100000 followers and some of the others also reach well into the 10’s of thousands of worshippers.
Monotheism is interesting. I wonder if it made a power lever to go around insisting that "our god is the only god. Your god doesnt exist or is lesser than ours." Seems incredible arrogant, but I wonder if that exact arrogance basically bullied polytheism into recedence.
Yahweh is actually the son of God El. Both are gods in Caanite religion and two different gods, contrary to modern Judaism belief that Yahweh and El is one. Over time the Caanite tribe that worshipping Yahweh (each tribe worship their own god) more dominant. And their god Yahweh become the only god in this religion group.
Exactly. The Abrahamic/Biblical religion (now known as Judaism) started of as just a splinter offshoot faction of Canaanite religion. It's great that people are actually fact-checking the history more nowadays to confirm the truth about it: Biblical religion is merely a mutated offshoot of Canaanite Religion that morphed and adapted over the last 3500. Then the Israelites "villainized" the very source culture/religion that they directly splintered off from (we see many extremist cults do this even today......just like Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses splintered off from mainstream Christianity).
@@SHUCKLE_JUICE The historic records, taking into context the timeline of the developments of how cults and factions within cults that become offshoot/splinter groups with conflicting agendas and contradictory theological points over time....and taking into account what the archeology confirms, reveals a different story than any of the Biblical narratives' claims. "He just disguised himself" is just an attempt to retroactively fit a particular theological belief into the frame of an historic fact (even when it clearly contradicts the theological belief). Cults and religions do that all the time. Example: doomsdays cults often claim that some "god" revealed the exact date of "the end of the world". When that date comes and goes, the cult will claim it was just a "test" or the so-called god "changed the gameplan" and the goal-post is moved back to a future date. Once you deep dive into comparative religious study (and human psychology) you'll see clearly all the theological tricks for what they are.

Well, Christians worship a god of wine too... When Christianity emerged in the antiquity, by the means of 'Interpretatio' some Romans equated Jesus to Dionysus, Sabazius and other gods. The wine seems central to the cult of both Jesus and Dionysus. Dionysus represents more than wine though, it's inspiration, madness, trance, wild life, emotions... Nietzsche, in his philosophy wrote about apollonian and dionysiac as opposites, the solar and racional mind of Apollo contrasted with the wildness and emotional side of Dionysus, both important to a healthy mind.
@@barbarismoesoterico i have nothing against wilderness and emotion and I definitely have nothing against inspiration. but while there are substances that can stimulate one's mind alcohol or drugs do that fall into this category.alcohol will get you drunk that is all. drinking from time to time is not a terrible thing but one has to do it responsibly and alcohol certainly does not inspire anything because it dulls your senses not stimulate them and definitely not strengthen them just the opposite. however I will agree that inspiration strong emotions and even touch of madness can be good things. and once one's basic needs like food shelter and so on are met imagination is the greatest gift one can have. but it has nothing to do with wine.
