The Barrow

One of the biggest reasons I feel more attuned to our native pagan spirituality is that the Abrahamic cults banish away many natural parts of being human. They shove things like sexuality or even physical violence and the warrior ethos down into the pit of darkness, where it becomes dark in turn. Then, those who are attracted to sexuality or the warrior ethos are in turn drawn into the murkiness of the deep, exposing them to many corrupting influences.

Some things belong down there, but no natural part of human life should be thrown into the dark. In fact, bringing these out into the light would make us less susceptible to temptation by other dark things.
