>>9858647Germanic heathenry, ancestor worship and remembrance and reincarnation as the ancestor is the true way.
It's done even today, only fractured.
We still have "in memory ofs", we still name children after ancestors/relatives, and we even have the "21" as an age milestone here and there.
18 means chaim, aka life in hebrew and is not a western age milestone.
It used to be like this:
0-6, you were too weak to live on your own and needed 'life support' outside of the womb, despite being cut off the cord, so it was called the second pregnancy.
7-13 your permanent teeth are starting to come in and your milk teeth are falling out, this was seen as the beginning of the manifestation of your ancestor , which you will become, along with all their possessions, notoriety and honor, etc.
14-20: same as above but with more and more rights and more and more legitimacy, etc.
21: fully adult , fully reformed ancestor, etc
even in the christianized middle ages, these milestones were used, at least in some circles.
21 used to be the final year of knight training, etc.
So yeah, the first time your forebears changed names from whatever place you were, to foreign hebrew names, was the time where your ancestry feedback loop was broken, for there was no Michael, Jacob and co before the adoption of christianity, aka the shomrim branch of judaism.
So it's not even guaranteed that you have a soul (you get that bestowed after age 6, see the milk teeth etc), only consciousness (hence before birth being all blackness/nothingness).
