Catalans

Most striking is that much of the left has taken to himself a lot of flags flying until recently most reactionary thinking. In particular, stresses his assumption of nationalist thought, with its exaltation of the priority of the group on the individual and collective rights of subjects individuals. Who would say thirty or forty years to any socialist or communist militant than their counterparts in today become zealous guardians of the rituals and traditions that group and every purpose of liberating the poor and the oppressed would be replaced by the claim self-determination for nations, true or feigned, dominated by predatory bourgeoisie who appropriate the language of the old fighters, but only of language. The fact is that today's left is an accomplice to the children of the Catalans and Basques workers are taught the minority language before they are supporting the new ruling elites than one that allows them to get along with millions of people worldwide, or becomes an accomplice of the repressive policy that sets penalties for merchants who do not meet their clients or write their offerings in the new language of established power. No longer interested in the release of disadvantaged people, but of imaginary supposedly oppressed nations, where redistribution of wealth among individuals has much less than the selfish demands of a larger piece of cake to enjoy the most smart people, who claim to speak for the people because their language has been appropriated for personal gain. Pure deception. And in that context nothing is priced higher than the rescue of lost traditions or the invention of other in mock mark of centuries. And I say, if both traditions are quoted, if it is inconceivable that people can renounce their pasts habits, if both the recovery account of a ritual or an old mythology of the past, have to think that, as same for all people is good the perpetuation of group morality, religion and collective uses through it integrates and identified. If it is in full swing and relativist multiculturalist thinking that demands full respect for the culture of each people and their ways of life forever, we must think, if we want to be minimally consistent, for the same reasons that will be good also in every corner of our State is still officially protected in full force and traditional morality, the Catholic religion and to the customary chieftaincy.

Thunder Warrior
Mar 10, 2012 News
You know or not that Odin had two ravens who traveled the world that day and recounted all that had happened in the world every night. You can tell whether or not he had a spear, a gift from Loki, which was forged by the dwarves. But what I am sure you know is that Thor wielded a hammer … …. That hammer called Mjolnir, and he was feared by the enemies of Thor, for the creatures of the underworld and giants … and also loved and respected by those who worship this deity warrior. Itself is a symbol in the Norse legend, mythology and symbolism.
But Thor had other facets, less known than his role as warrior and defender of Midgard, which was delivered in body and soul. Unlike Odin, Thor has a strong protector, which made it loved by many farmers and peaceful men praying for someone who Velascos for the welfare of his family. In addition, Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor, is a symbol associated with fertility in some drawings and prints you can see the hammer in her lap a bride as a fertility ritual, and as a symbolic interaction between heaven and earth. He is the God of Thunder, the god of heaven, and should not be forgotten that in the past it was believed that lightning in the storms of summer crops ripen. Another test, another symbolic gesture that relates the powerful hammer with fertility, is the use that was given at the consecration of different natures, which include its importance at weddings because the bride and groom played the hammer and he swore on his eternal love. But not all uses of this tremendous hammer were so peaceful. Thor is the protector of Midgard, the world of mortals, and different sources tell of the dangers they would face in its mission.
Other times, Thor used his great weapon against the creatures of Asgard, the Eddas tell of their exploits face against giants, mythological creatures like the serpent of Asgard, and occasionally using his wits instead of their strength, such as his meeting with the dwarf, or the boatman. This aspect of God is the less known, and the image that we have today Thor is closer to that of a warrior strong as a bull and not very clever, but once this god was seen as one of the wisest, able to cope with ingenuity to Odin or Loki and win, who knows the secret of the runes and magic, well versed in poetry … etc. But we all see the image of a mighty warrior muscular, capable of throwing the hammer at a great distance, hitting and return to your hand. Or imagine calling a storm and throwing a huge bolt from the hammer … or perhaps we think of the great and terrible warrior ever born. His greatness is reflected in his palace, which is larger than all the palaces of Asgard, where he lived with his wife Sif and their children in a building of five hundred forty rooms. As recorded in this building would the peasants and slaves dead. Nahuel Gladish.
