Assianism is polytheistic ethnic religion of Ossetians, descendants of Scythian Alans. It draws from Nart sagas as holy scripture. Organized in 1980s by nationalists as Ætsæg Din or Uatsdin. Rejects pagan label as Christian-Muslim slur. Traces unbroken continuity from Scythians despite partial Christianization. Scythians practiced ancient Iranian religion with seven planetary gods. Alans influenced medieval European chivalry. Soviet atheism spurred revival as anti-Orthodox nationalism. Government supports rituals at sacred groves like Rekom Temple. Supreme god Xwytsau manifests as light in pantheistic triad of heaven-matter-spirit. Uastyrdzhi is chief intermediary god of war and contracts like Mithra. Seven daudzhita gods linked to planets punish or favor via sacrifices. Demons uayug cause passions and evil opposing divine order Ard. Rituals feature beer libations, animal sacrifices excluding pigs, circular dances. Shrines in nature harmonize with environment using local materials. Symbols include Uatsamongzh cup like Holy Grail and Three Tears of God. Leaders blast Christianity as Jewish betrayal severing ethnic roots and dooming nations. Assianism claims 29-55% Ossetian adherents, unrivaled neopagan success. Promoted by priests' councils like Styr Nykhas and kins' forums. Aligns with Eurasianism preserving Indo-European Scythian heritage for all.
