God-in-my-pocket Three Iron-age mini-idols were discovered in 2002 Lunda, close to Strängnäs in Sörmland, which the local authorities erroneously present as "guldgubbarna" (golden geezers) but this term is properly restricted to 2D figures on beaten gold foils. These 3cm tall 3D figurines were found in what may have been a cult house near to a settlement, a burial ground, a sacrificial area and a 40 metre long mead-hall built around 500 AD. Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg wrote: “Two of them are cast in bronze and fully or partially gilded. The third is carved from a solid piece of gold. Slightly kneeling and with their hands on their stomachs, they stand confidently there, also with their sexes erect…The nudity could indicate that they are images of gods.” She speculated that one could represent Njörðr. Similar Mini-idols were in use among Greeks and Romans, as portable personal items of devotion. Such idols can themselves be votive offerings to the deity they depict.

Important figures in the Christianisation of England are also depicted including Bishop Mellitus who was actually exiled by the pagans of London, the venerable Bede, Saints Cuthbert, Edmund, Oswald and Wilfrid

In Westminster Cathedral there is this depiction of Saint Gregory encountering an enslaved Anglo-Saxon pagan child who he found attractive so he said they are “Not Angles but angels”.

Stopped briefly in Denmark to see the place where the famous Golden horns of Gallehus were discovered. They will be a topic in the coming documentary as I believe they were Jutish

When hunting for an unmarked Saxon urnfield in the woods we were drawn to it by a sudden commotion of ravens which stopped when we drew near. And today when performing a blot at an ancient Anglian bog holy to Thunor and Nerthus (Earth) there was also a calling of ravens and when approaching the bog a snake jumped out. When approaching a great oak nearby to address Thunor there was a sudden strong gust of wind. Such auspicious signs are encountered regularly when you blot at the right places and the gods are present

Germanic bog finds from Northern Germany dated to the Roman Iron Age. The discs are zierscheibe and the other artefact is part of horse tack

It is unfortunate the wonderful archaeological museum of Schleswig is also screening this film. Literal WE (the movie)

Today I saw the Braak Bog idols of Frey and Freyja dated to 3rd c BC. I didn’t realise how enormous they are. Very imposing and quite evidently sacred

The real meaning of this labyrinth symbol eludes us since it appears in different times, cultures and contexts. Many of the claimed dates for them are made up and unreliable which makes it even harder to decipher https://youtu.be/tSpXU3DFhOE

In this video I explain the way that runes were integrated into pre-existing mythic and ritual traditions of magic and why therefore Odin is the god of both galdra and runar https://youtu.be/K9m6jHITqvc?feature=shared

"No traditional civilization has ever seen such large masses condemned to obscure, soulless, automatic labor, to slavery which does not even have as its counterpart the high stature and the tangible reality of figures of lords and rulers, but is found imposed in a seemingly innocuous way by the tyranny of the economic factor and the absurd structures of a more or less collectivized society. And the fact that the modern vision of life, in its materialism, has deprived the individual of any possibility of introducing into his destiny an element of transfiguration, of seeing in it a sign and a symbol, the slavery of today is the most gloomy and the most desperate of all that we have ever known." ~Julius Evola

Find it hard to keep up with all the different archaeological cultures, matching them to regions and periods etc? My friend has created a Holocene periodic table for all of West Eurasia. He is going to keep updating it so this link will always be the latest version.
