    Religious prostitution, sexualized Maypole dances, drug-induced ecstasies, hallucinating Viking berserkers, ritualized pagan suicide - none of it was real. But it suited the needs of *modern* movements (Romanticism, environmentalism, feminism, New Age mysticism) to pretend it was.

    So what can we take from all of these (rather silly) ideas? Mostly, that Romanticism and its 20th century offshoots allowed for all sorts of mythical post-ex-facto legitimations of *modern* ideas, and that they did so via *creating* a pagan past that never was.

    Much like the myth that Inuit tribes would leave elders out on icebergs to die, it became popular because it seemed "natural" - in tune with worldly cycles. Which was turbocharged by movements that glorified the "primitive" and the natural.

    Subsequently in the 18th and 19th centuries, Swedish villagers started labelling their prominent cliffs as ättestupa (because once again, it gave them links to an interesting Romantic pagan past). It became part of the local folklore and later was folded into Swedish nationalism.

    But it wasn't a ritualized practice, or a "practice" at all. Instead, the sequence is a joke, wherein a *specific* family throws themselves over the edge of a cliff one by one over hilariously petty slights. Historians at the time took this as a tradition and not the comedy it was meant to be.
