(JTA) — The Republican nominee for Congress in Texas’ 7th district is a self-proclaimed history buff, but his take on Anne Frank is not one that most historians would endorse.

Johnny Teague, an evangelical pastor and business owner who won the district’s primary in March, in 2020 published “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank,” a novel imagining the famous Jewish Holocaust victim’s final days in the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps as she might have written them in her diary.

The kicker: In Teague’s telling, Frank seems to embrace Christianity just before she is murdered by the Nazis.

Published by Las Vegas-based publisher Histria Books, the speculative book attempts to faithfully extend the writing style of Frank’s “original” diary entries into her experiences in the camps: it “picks up where her original journey left off,” according to the promotional summary. Teague claims to have interviewed Holocaust survivors and visited the Anne Frank House, multiple concentration camps and the major Holocaust museums in Washington, D.C., and Israel as part of his research.

“I would love to learn more about Jesus and all He faced in His dear life as a Jewish teacher,” Teague’s Anne Frank character muses at one point, saying that her dad had tried to get her a copy of the New Testament. Anne’s father Otto Frank, who in real life did survive the Holocaust, seems to have been spared a tragic fate in Teague’s telling because of his interest in learning about Jesus.

Later, Anne does learn about Jesus through other means, reciting psalms and expressing sympathy for Jesus’ plight.

By book’s end, Anne is firm in her belief that “every Jewish man or woman should ask” questions like “Where is the Messiah? … Did He come already, and we didn’t recognize Him?”

Teague, responding to a query from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency after the story’s initial publication, said his book had been “misrepresented” and that it shows Frank “relating her suffering to the historic persecution by Egypt, Haman, Assyria, Rome and others — all horrific facts of how the precious Jewish people have been attacked for so many centuries.”

Teague said he based Frank’s interpretation of Jesus off of a reference in her original diary to her father wanting her and her sister Margot “to be exposed to the New Testament and the life of Jesus” and, “As she made those entries in her own hand, I could not pretend that the thoughts, lessons, or questions of Jesus never crossed her mind afterward.” He also said he included Jesus because “when the Jewish people were suffering so much torment and suffering, it is impossible to imagine them not contemplating in their turmoil the longing for a Messiah to rescue them.”

While Teague’s version of Frank doesn’t explicitly indicate she wants to convert to Christianity, she makes many comments praising Christians she meets in the concentration camp, noting of one woman, “What I love about her is her faith in God and her faith in Jesus.” Later, Frank says, “I am seeing a stark difference in some of the Christians here, as opposed to the others… It seems Christians are more willing to die than the rest of us.”

Teague says such passages don’t necessarily represent a full conversion to Christianity. “Do I think Anne Frank became a Christian? No one can know what spiritual decisions or conclusions people make in a time of tragedy and persecution,” Teague continued. “This book does not indicate either way.”

He added, “We must stand with the Jewish people and for them.”

Teague also claims in his candidate biography that he “has been affiliated with” the Association for Jewish Studies, the academic membership organization devoted to Jewish studies. Teague’s Anne Frank book appears on a 2021 AJS list of books by its own members, under the author name “Johnny Mark Teague.” AJS did not return requests for comment.

The candidate’s top issues on his website include “Close the Border,” “Eliminate Property Taxes” and his belief that fossil fuels are divinely ordained: “If you believe in a Creator and that everything is here for a purpose, then you have to realize that fossil fuels are not an accident. At the very beginning of time, God knew we would need automation and industry, so in His Wisdom, He gave us the fuels that we would need.”

It’s common for evangelical Christians to engage in proselytizing, including toward Jews, and surveys have indicated that nearly half of American adults believe the country should be “a Christian nation.” But the size and scope of Teague’s efforts to undermine Anne Frank’s Judaism in his book is unusual even in such circles.

The Houston-area district Teague is running in has a Democratic incumbent. It was redrawn in 2020 but is still heavily favored to elect a Democrat.

This is the second time Teague has secured the Republican nomination for a Congressional district in Texas. He previously ran in the state’s ninth district in 2020, where he only received 21% of the vote in the general election. The election was held two days after “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank” was published.

So this has been a thing i've been meaning to ask your oppinion on for a while now but it's a bit of a mess please bear with me, because i think there might be a connection, or shared root between a dacian deity and Veles and i lack the slavic pagan perspective and experience, i'm very much a fledgeling pagan and in the middle of historical accounts, gnossis, academic papers and such i stumbled on this obscure rabbit hole.

So, i've been trying to find more information about a certain getae-dacian/thracian deity but resources both in english and romanian are limited both due to very few artefact discoveries, almost no written ancient accounts except for two greek funerary stones, i'll try to cite what sources i can so this is not incomprehensible.

So, i'm looking into Derzelas/Darzalas. What i could find from various sources and a little bit of personal gnosis: Derzelas is a deity of healing and vitality but who is mainly cthonic, being tied to vitality of the body and spirit, medicine, wealth/abundance and also acting as guide/keeper of the dead/psychopompos. He's a deity strongly tied to the threshold both human/nature, live/dead, healthy/sick and so on. There's a stong association with dense woods, the vegetal world as well as the mineral one, caves, riches in the earth and such. I think for example salt (mined salt) specifically is directly tied, both as a vital mineral that can be consumed and even healthy in the right amount, but also historically as the dacian space held many salt mines and there's to this day large mineral salt deposits in romania. There's associations with animals, such as sheep, snakes, deer and wolves (the immortal wolf with a snake's body was an important symbol in dacian culture)

Another detail is that Derzelas serves the function of a Horned god (despite no visible horns, and not in the wicca way, more in the, among ancient religions there is this symblod of the horned deity because people lived and died on the health of their livestock and introduced it into their belief systems, in this example, the romanian/dacian foundational myth "Miorita" is a bout shepherding and sheep) similarly to deities like Osiris, Veles, Cernunnos and such. Derzelas's horn take the form of a cornucopia which i feel is a very accurate symbol for the associations, but this was shown a bit later, it the Odessos representation.

So, historical accounts: 1) Derzelas has been associated as the patron deity of the city of Odessos (current Bulgaria) and also having temples in greek colonies along the Black Sea, with other vestiges found in the Carpathians where the dacian capital was. In Odessos, He was sort of formed as a super-syncretism: The Great God of Odessos, which was most likely formed by greek colonists and thracian+dacian locals. What few oppinions there are are split on who was part of this super-syncretism but options are: Thracian horserider/hero, Dyonisos, Serapsi and maybe an earlier fully thracian/getae-dacian version of Derzelas that was later helenised through this syncretism. There are a few clay and one lead bust of Derzelas as Great God of Odessos that have been found , there's also accounts of the city hosting sports events similar to the olympiads called Darzaleia which were attended by Gordian the III'rd. There's also plenty of coinage from this region depicting the same thing.

There is also the thing that, the Thracian Horserider was later made into Saint George, in a similar was Veles was Saint Nicholas/Nicolae

2) The temples at Tomis and Histria: Here there are two marble funerarly plynths with prayers to Derzelas.

3)The getae-dacian views on death and the afterlife were a big part of who they were. Death is seen as an important passage towards a superior stage of existence and that is why the great journey to the other world. "Herodotus also mentioned their habit of crying when a baby was born, coming into this world full of sorrow and laughing when one of them was dead, pretending that he is to meet their God soon. Naturally, both crying and laughing were strictly ritualistic and they did not express feelings which were substantially different from ours. Ovid confirms the same mentality of the Thracians in his Epistulae ex Ponto. So, for our direct ancestors, death was rather a motive of joy and celebration; no mourning, no black veils, no regrets." (Marina Cap-Bun, 2012)

Right, so all this context to come to this: I showed the same thing to a friend whos a history professor and kemetic pagan and he was like "Wait, isn't this Veles?" and i sort of felt my head spin cause i hadn't even considered the slavis sphere and (although absolutely not homogenous), there are a few similar cultural currents running through. I do see a lot that romania isn't really seen as fully slavic, which fair dues, but there must be some sort of early branching symbol or belief that then spread in different directions in the balkans and in central/eastern europe.

But both through, cultural , historical, and unverified personal gnosis, Derzelas and Veles are quite similar both from what ive read including in your accounts and translations.

So i humbly ask, is there anything you know from your experience and reading that might shed some light? Even if not, thank you if you even glanced at this and though "Huh, interesting".

I'm working hard both to further my own pagan practice, learn more about history (also, im trying desperately to not let ancient romanian culture fall further into the hands of nazis cause fuckign hell they're descending like locusts).

When first looking into paganism/polytheism, well i chose Derzelas both to look into and work with, both as an interesting mistery to look into but also spiritually. I thought a deity of healing was the most sensible choice, as i do live with a chronic illness and recovering from troubled eating. I took a bit of inspiration from my kemetic friend' practice and i offer the spiritual equivalent to my medication to Derzelas as a sort of nightly prayer and since ive never missed a dose. It's well, been such a positive force in my life since i went down this path and i feel that talking and researching more about Derzelas is the least i can do to show gratitude, and get the conversation going.

Here is a drawing me and my friend brainstormed on how a depiction would look like (taking all the sources into account with a bit of, "this is the vibe im getting") It feels, incredibly special to me

I did see in some of your posts that the stories on Veles are a little bit less pinned down, and thought there might be at the very least n interesting thing to look into. I hope i didnt annoy with this ridiculously long ask. (Maybe this entire rabbit hole has all been a very elaborate prank from Veles X) )

Thank you again, your blog is an inspiration and keep doing what you love!!

Hello!

Thank you for this ask! It was a pleasure to read. I never heard about Derzelas before — although I am acutely aware of my lack of knowledge about Romanian mythology — so it’s great to find some more information.

Not sure if it’s good or bad news but I think I have another rabbit hole to sell you — the Dajbog rabbit hole. Derzelas definitely reminds me of Veles (here’s a link for those that want to catch up) but… he also reminded me of a Balkan deity/spirit (I mostly see him mentioned in connection with Serbia) called Dajbog, also known as Dabog or Daba. To the best of my understanding he was put on the slavists’ radar through the works of Veselin Čajkanović. Despite his name being so similar to that of Dazhbog, Dajbog is chthonic and nocturnal in nature, known as the Silver King, ruler of precious metals and mines, god of cattle and Master of Wolves. Of course many people believe Dajbog to simply be another name of Veles - many groups of Slavs considered names of powerful deities and spirits a taboo and replaced them with various nicknames, diminutives or even kinship terms. (I occasionally entertain my pet conspiracy theory that the supposedly solar kyivan Dazhbog might just be another misunderstood form of Veles too, but that’s another long story, and not really something we can confirm.)

So if you’re curious here are some academic works that mention Dajbog:

Interpretationes Slavicae: Some Early Mythological Glosses

Dazhbog: The Ancient Slavic Pagan Deity of the Shining Sky

Supernatural Beings from Slovenian Myth and Folktales (the chapter about Jarnik, see there’s even a vague connection to Saint George 👀)

The Christian and pre-Christian conception of the Master of Wolves

If you accept non-academic, folk magic oriented accounts Radomir Ristic mentioned him in his „Balkan Tradition Witchcraft” where he shortly ponders his connection to Veles, Lesnik and Tartor in the chapter devoted to the idea of „the Horned God”. I don’t have enough knowledge of Balkan folklore to vouch for this publication, but well, it exists.

Best of luck to you!

Today the Church remembers Epictetus and Astion, Martyrs.

Orate pro nobis.

The monastic martyrs Epictetus and Astion lived in Bithynia on the southwest coast of the Black Sea during the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD). From his youth, Saint Epictetus had dedicated his life to God, and studied to acquire knowledge of the Gospel. He entered a monastery, and later was found worthy to be ordained to the holy priesthood. Proclaiming the Gospel of Christ, the saint converted many people to Christianity. God granted Epictetus the gift of wonderworking, and he healed many people troubled by unclean spirits, or afflicted with other maladies.

One day while out for a stroll, the illustrious youth Astion met Saint Epictetus. During a long conversation Saint Epictetus enlightened Astion, sowing the seed of God’s Word in the young man’s soul. He spoke to him about the only true God, about the great value of the immortal human soul, and about fleeting worldly pleasures.

Astion came to believe in Christ and was baptized. Soon after this, he also became a monk. Since Christians were being persecuted in Bithynia, he asked Saint Epictetus if they might travel together to some distant land where they could dedicate their lives completely to God. Boarding a ship, Saints Epictetus and Astion journeyed to Scythia and settled among the pagan Slavs near the Roman outpost of Halmyris in the province of Histria south of the mouth of the Danube. The city was the site of a military fort and a base for the Roman fleet which patrolled the Danube and the Black Sea.

When they arrived at Halmyris in 273 AD, Saint Epictetus was forty-seven years old, and Saint Astion was only eighteen. During the next seventeen years, the saints spent their lives in prayer and fasting, and performed many miracles.

The God-pleasing lives of the monks could not remain hidden from others for very long. People afflicted by various illnesses or oppressed by evil spirits came to the saints seeking relief. Even pagans asked the holy ascetics for help, and after being healed of their afflictions, they embraced Christianity.

Saint Epictetus once healed a fifteen-year-old deaf and dumb boy by praying and breathing on him three times. More than a thousand people became Christians after witnessing this miracle. Saint Astion once cured a man whose legs and toes were crushed when he fell from a building.

Latronianus, the military commander of the district, arrived in Halmyris in 290 AD on an official visit of inspection. The pagan priests wasted no time in complaining to him about Saints Epictetus and Astion. They denounced the two men from Bithynia, accusing them of converting people to Christianity through sorcery, and persuading them not to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods.

The saints were arrested and interrogated by Latronianus, who tried to find out their names and where they were from. Their only reply was, “We are Christians.” Latronianus had them tortured in an effort to make them abandon their Christian beliefs.

After thirty days in prison without food and water, the holy martyrs Epictetus and Astion were once again brought before Latronianus. They remained steadfast and ready to endure even more suffering for Christ. The commander declared that Epictetus and Astion were traitors, and ordered them to be beheaded on July 8, 290 AD. At first, they were buried in an unknown spot. Later, their holy relics were transferred into the basilica built in the fourth century by Saint Constantine the Great at Halmyris.

Archaeologists discovered the holy relics of Saints Epictetus and Astion at Halmyris in 2001. The bones were scattered about in two rooms of a burial crypt, indicating that the tomb had been vandalized, perhaps in the sixth century. Scientific tests on the bones revealed that one of the men was approximately sixty-four years old, and the other about thirty-five. This is consistent with the ages of the two saints as given in the written accounts of their martyrdom. The bones also indicate that the two had been beheaded.

The holy relics of Saints Epictetus and Astion were reburied in 2001 by Archbishop Theodosius of Tomis (Romania).

Almighty God, who gave to your servants Epictetus and Astion boldness to confess the Name of our Savior Jesus Christ before the rulers of this world, and courage to die for this faith: Grant that we may always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us, and to suffer gladly for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Four of the Celtic groups that became provinces of the Roman Empire. [Left to right] Gaul (Human name: Gwenaëlle): A ruthless and bloodthirsty warrior who once made it her life's goal to burn Rome to the ground. She does not get on especially well with others, except for Britannia. However, as formidable a fighter as she is, she was ultimately unable to keep Rome from conquering her. She had three children: Gallia Aquitania (Aquitaine), Gallia Narbonensis (Provence), and Gallia Lugdunensis (France). By the time the Kingdom of the Franks invaded, her spirit had been broken and she couldn't even bring her self to fight back anymore. Pannonia (Human name *post contact with Rome: Prisca, later changed to Piroska): A sweet and friendly woman, and a bit of a rough and rowdy tomboy a lot of the time, Pannonia was never especially bothered by Rome's influence in her lands. She is close with Dalmatia but has frequently fought with Dacia over borders, though she never resented Noricum when Rome ceded her some of Pannonia's land. She often smells like dog as she spends most of her free time training the best hunting dogs in the whole empire and she is especially fond of sabaea beer. She can be a capable fighter, but is often walked over by invaders. After the fall of Rome, she fell in love with a nomadic tribe named "Magyar" who had arrived in her territory and the two of them had one daughter together (Hungary). Noricum (Human name *post contact with Rome: Floriana): A haughty and, some would say, arrogant nation that rose above her past as a tribe of simply cowherders. Despite her aloof nature, she is fiercely loyal to her friends and family, and can be incredibly sharp-tongued and sassy. Unlike many other "barbarian" nations, she was keen to welcome Rome's influence and was able to maintain favorable status as a client kingdom rather than a province, until her unfortunate decision to team up with Pannonia to invade Histria, another Roman ally. She has a love of finer things, especially gold, amber, fine cloth, and perfumes. She even makes her own perfume from the saliunca plant. As the Roman Empire began to crumble, she had her one and only son, Ostarrîchi (Austria), whom she place in the care of her neighbor Helvetia when it became clear that she would not live long enough to raise the child. Helvetia (Human name: Hiltraud): Incredibly stern and harsh, she would often fight with her neighbors and especially with Rome. However, her situation reached a point that she had to reluctantly accept Rome's assistance in defending her borders from German encroachment into her territory. Despite looking Germanic, herself, she is actually Celtic and becomes offended when the distinction is not acknowledged. She does have a caring side, though, and did all she could in her final days to provide for her son (Switzerland), her infant daughter (Liechtenstein), and little Austria.

Illyrian gods

↳ Illyrians never functioned as a unique ethnic entity. Rather, each tribe had their own set of gods which explains a lack of a clearly set pantheon. Some gods were more widely spread - like Medaurus, Bindus, Vidasus and were worshipped by more than one tribe.

↪Liburnians believed in gods that weren’t mentioned elsewhere in the Illyrian region:

Ika (goddess of water and olives)

Sentona (goddess of fertility, agriculture and health)

Latra (also known as Great Mother, goddess of love and fertility)

Anzotika (goddess of love, motherhood, fertility, guides souls to underworld)

Aitika (goddess of agriculture, plants)

Heija (goddess of lands, justice, animals and female sexuality)

Irija (Creator Mother)

Jutosika (unknown)

↪Colapiani mainly worshipped Vidasus and Tana (protectors of forests, grasslands, wild animals and water springs) (Vidasus is the god of forests, Tana is the goddess of hunt)

↪Iapodes mainly whorshipped Bindus (god of water)

↪Histri worshipped:

Eja (goddess of fertility and love)

Trita (goddess of health)

Nebrama (goddess of darkness, fog, spells, storms)

Boria (goddess of wind)

Histrija (goddess of peace, protector of Histria)

↪Dardani worshipped:

Andin (god of family and home's fireplace)

Dardanija (personification of Dardan land)

Zbeltiurdus (supreme god)

Divine Couple Dracco and Draccena (snake gods)

Ata (personification of a house spirit which protects the home, often a fallen warrior)

Mundrit (unknown)

Taton (unknown, possibly protector of warriors and god of water)

↪Paenians worshipped Dualos, god of wine.

↪Almost all Illyrians worshipped Medaur (god of war, medicine and health), Sedat (god of mining, protector of craftsmen) was worshipped by most tribes as well.

Since Illyrians didn’t leave traces of literacy, most information about their religion was written by Romans. Romans saw characteristics of their own gods in the Illyrian ones and therefore gave them romanized names. Such examples are Silvan and Diana. Some Illyrians also started calling their gods with a Roman name so Bindus was called Neptune and Anzotika was called Venus.

Other gods which aren't tribe specific or gods with little to no information: En (fire), Perendi (thunder), Prende (love), Liber (wine), Nautrika (children), Armatus (war), Aecorna (lakes), Laburus (sailing), Redon (travel).

**I will update this list regularly, there is a lot of information that is still to be uncovered.

"Johnny Teague, an evangelical pastor and business owner who won the district’s primary in March, in 2020 published 'The Lost Diary of Anne Frank,' a novel imagining the famous Jewish Holocaust victim’s final days in the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps as she might have written them in her diary," reported Andrew Lapin. "Published by Las Vegas-based publisher Histria Books, the speculative book attempts to faithfully extend the writing style of Frank’s 'original' diary entries into her experiences in the camps: it 'picks up where her original journey left off,' according to the promotional summary.

. . .

Teague — who also ran for Congress in 2020 — espouses Christian Nationalism heavily on his campaign website, claiming baselessly that U.S. law is derived from scripture. According to the report, an earlier version of his website even stated that fossil fuels were ordained by God.

There are many toponims in Croatia that have no other meanings in croatian language than as name of a city, mountain, river, island, but the same words have meanings in czech, ukrainian or russian language.

One example is city of Pula, on Istrian peninsula. In romanian language it means penis in errection. Sure, it is very funny for romanian turists and they always ask citizens of Pula what is the meaning of that word in croatian, and they always just shrug and say: just a city name.

Croats came to todays croatian seaside in 7th century and they didn't annihilate existing population. Proof of that is use of dalmatian language paralelly with croatian till a some hundred years ago.

In istrian towns still live people who know histrian language (Istria is Histria in latin language) but don't have posibility to use it. And only in the vilage Žejane still live some hundred people who speak language of people who lived there before croats came, but with some 30% of croatian words, as they forgot the old words.

And that language is just a dialect of romanian language. So yes, Pula realy means that.
