Alternative interpretations of this artefact. Kevin of Fortress of Lugh has pointed out that the seated figure appears to have his hands behind his back as though bound. Being bound among snakes is a Germanic punishment in this world and the next and could mean this is Loki, Wayland or Gunnar - all of whom have such stories associated with them. But the axe shaped pendant itself has an apotropaic function so the figure surely also assists this. If it is Woden or an acolyte performing utiseta among wyrms of Hell, then that makes sense. Perhaps a depiction of a bound Loki also assists in binding and controlling other malevolent entities?

… initiatory death is often symbolized, for example, by darkness, by cosmic night, by the telluric womb, the hut, the belly of a monster. All these images express regression to a preformal state, to a latent mode of being (complementary to the precosmogonic Chaos), rather than total annihilation (in the sense in which, for example, a member of the modern societies conceives death). These images and symbols of ritual death are inextricably connected with germination, with embryology; they already indicate a new life in course of preparation. Obviously, as we shall show later, there are valuations of initiatory death - for example, joining the company of the dead and the Ancestors. But here again we can discern the same symbolism of the beginning: the beginning of spiritual life, made possible in this case by a meeting with spirits. For archaic thought, then, man is made - he does not make himself all by himself. It is the old initiates, the spiritual masters, who make him. But these masters apply what was revealed to them at the beginning of Time by the Supernatural Beings. They are only the representatives of those Beings; indeed, in many cases they incarnate them.

Germany's most famous cist grave is at Anderlingen. A Bronze age cairn barrow built 1400 BC contemporary with Sweden's Nordic Bronze Age Kivik grave. One of the slabs has similar petroglyphs on it like at Kivik. The site was reused by pagan Saxons in the late 400's AD at a time contemporary with the migrations to England. The burial deposits here are similar to those from pagan England. Saxon finds include two vessels, likely urns, and a pair of raven brooches (see pic)

In my recent AMA I was asked about the Schwerpunkt channel and i, misremembering some recent research about rival content concerning the roman iron age in Germany, said it was a good channel. In fact it isn’t. The videos come from a position of heavy globalist and Christian bias, with especially poor understanding of pre Christian culture. They are also long, rambling and poorly edited videos. I do not recommend it at all.

This evening is the full moon of what our ancestors called "holy month" - the ninth month. It normally falls in September but this is a leap year in which there are 13 moons instead of 12. I wish you a good blot. I shall pray to the gods for the health and prosperity of my family and people.
