In paganism, dance is sacred and pagan dance is usually performed naked. Let me start by talking about the causality (or the explanation of its truth) of this sentence by first talking about nudity… I will come to dance later.
- Nudity is our natural state, therefore it is the closest state to nature. Nature and naturalness are elements that provide both psychological and physiological health.
- Everyone is equal when naked; nudity is the environment where distinction, knowledge, leadership and hierarchy are weakest. Concepts such as superiority and power are contrary to paganism, especially matriarchal paganism.
- The purpose of nudity is not necessarily to expose oneself. The reason for nudity can also be to draw attention to the beauties of the human body. When looking at a naked (and even aesthetic) body, erotic feelings can be felt… but sublime feelings such as admiration, respect and desire to imitate (desire to resemble) can also be awakened. Above all, admiration, respect and desire to imitate can also be confused with erotic awakening.
Clothes are supplements invented by the prophet Idris. Idris is the mysterious prophet Enoch who entered Heaven while alive -with a trick. Both Enoch and Idris are people who have aspects that are completely unsuitable for matriarchy.
Let me come to the subject of dance.
Dance is done with the body. The body is a tool, an equipment that tells the inspiration of the music with its dance. If access to the equipment is difficult, the result will not be productive. If the body movements cannot be followed clearly (in detail), its calls cannot be heard completely. Therefore, every piece of cloth covering the body destroys the magic (energy) of the dance.
In addition, clothes can be hindering the dancer.
Since the aforementioned fact was seen even in the 1800s, ballerinas and ballet dancers (especially according to the sexual moral values of that period) danced in clothes that could be called naked.
Finally, let me talk about pagan dance.
Paganism, due to its "oneness" with nature, is in close relation with sexuality, which is the most natural act, and nudity, which is our most natural state. If pagan dance is performed to get closer to God (since we can most easily get closer to God in our most natural state), the necessity of being naked even emerges. It should not be overlooked that we come from him naked and go to him naked.
Pagan dance can also be applied due to eroticism. Eroticism is as sacred as sex in paganism. Eroticism is a more veiled and art-oriented version of simple sex.
Eroticism: Why It Still Matters - Ferdinand Fellmann
Chemnitz University of Technology, Department of Philosophy
Eroticism, in all its contexts, does not refer to sexual techniques, but instead gives an interpretation of sexual desire.
In eroticism, there is poetry, lyricism (expressing personal feelings and inner world through inspiration, in an enthusiastic and effective way), that is, feelings and emotions, as well as nudity. However, in the society called "modern" (modern society) but which is actually utilitarian and hypocritical, eroticism is spent as a gateway to discharge the need for sex.
The idea that pagan dance, even pagan dance that establishes a connection with god, is distant from men is a great mistake; because, as you will remember, all whirling dervishes are men.
