If you look at basically everything that was built in Classical Antiquity you will see that it was with very few exceptions made with care, with patience and will skill. Everything made was not just made to be functional and to last; it was also always decorative and often even educative. You could learn something just by looking at them; myths, proverbs, natural phenomena or local legends. Everything made was made with pride, by skilled craftsmen putting their love and honour into whatever they made – and their skills and honour was carried on from generation to generation.
Items of Classical Antiquity and Pagan Europe from the Dark Ages (the 5th to the 15th century): none of it made in a hurry for the sake of quick profit;
This pre-Christian mentality survived for some time into the Dark Ages, but was eventually rooted out and cast aside when Judeo-Christianity managed to halt the return to Classical Europe; when the Renaissance was abruptly stopped by the Masonic Revolution in France in 1789. Not only did this put an end to classical art, but it also ended classical craftmanship. From then on more and more of what was made was instead made for the sake of profit. From then on former craftsmen were more and more replaced by slaves working in factories, under horrible conditions, solely to make profit for the factory owners.
I propose a return not only to classical religion and classical art, but also to classical craftmanship. Our future depends on it. HailaR WôðanaR!
