Incomplete wooden idol from Veliky Novgorod, 10-11th Century. One eye appears to be missing, and it’s very similar to an example from Vinje, Norway; possibly a Rus image of Odin. ᚬ

🚨 New Documentary 🚨 The swastika or FYLFOT was used by ancient Germanic peoples such as the Goths, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. But what did it mean? Some say it was a symbol of the sun, some think it was borrowed from the Romans. In this video I explain how the fylfot was actually connected to the cult of the god Wotan aka Odin. Watch on YouTube or Odysee

In 421 AD, as many Saxons were migrating to Britain, a Saxon chieftain was buried at Fallward near the river Weser, in a boat shaped coffin. Conditions of the soil allowed for excellent preservation of wooden items including a chair and foot stool (mentioned in my swastika video) with a runic inscription saying what may be the chief's nick name Alguskathi "elk -harmer". He was cremated, like others in the same cemetery, and the urns there are the same as kind the early English used. Elk harmer's people also moved to England shortly after he died. Very few graves preserve so much carpentry so beautifully. Pictured are the table, boat, a box in the shape of a waterfowl, and a block chair with a footstool. It reveals much about our ancestors and their skill. The swastika motifs on the chair and stool pertain to the cult of Woden.

These are drawings of two other bracteates found in the same area around Sievern. I suspect they also depict either Woden or a king descended from that god.

This bracteate shows a figure, likely Woden, adorned with a neck ring and belt. Snake-like creatures with claws and bird heads hang in his arms. It was found in the Sievern region of lower Saxony close to the Heidenstadt (Heathen-stead) and Heidenschanze (Heathen fort) which have been identified as social and ritual centres for Saxons in the period leading up to the Anglo-Saxon migrations. Other bracteates have also been found there. I took the photo in the museum of Burg Bederkesa.

Nationalists of the world unite! For a week I have been hosting a friend from England who wishes to be anonymous. We have fished at the local pond, explored the historical parts of Lund and Malmö, visited the world renowned bronze age kings's grave in Kivik, visited the largest stone ship in Scandinavia in the form of Ales stenar, travelled to distant grave sites where locals would sacrifice money to the disir, elves and landvättar for healing and prosperity since time immemorial until the 19th century (a tradition I continued). We also visited Neolithic tombs and the longest occupied iron age site in Scandinavia - the holy site of Uppåkra, where blots, things and markets where held from 500 BCE-1000 CE. we ran into a group of like minded young men during our travels and we ended up spending a day in the shadows of the tombs and monuments our ancestors built, discussing how to restore our past glories. Together with them we conducted a blot to Odin at the Kings's grave...

Some people arguing that the woman on the right looks Asian. In other photos from the series you can clearly see that she isn't!

🇸🇪 What is the King of Sweden Doing? Why Do I Still Support Him? • To understand why the Swedish king, Carl XVI Gustaf, is not stepping in to put an end to Sweden's descent into chaos, we need to take a brief look at Sweden's 20th century history. For most of the last century, Sweden was ruled by the Social Democrats – a party (true to form) that has basically always been hostile towards the monarchy. The deal was struck that the royal house could remain, but would not engage in politics. A great Damocles Sword has been hanging over the head of our king for his entire reign. Every word, every move – ready to be used against him by a regime hostile to the royal house. A pressure most men would crack under. • Throughout my life, my king is the only person in a position of power who has never tried to make me feel bad about who I am. • One could argue that what has been done to Sweden goes far beyond politics. Even so, it is hard to pin-point an exact moment in time when the king would have stepped in. The metaphorical frog has been boiling for a long time. That said, should he decide to, in some capacity, mark against what is going on, I, his loyal subject, would be most happy. Onwards! https://youtu.be/UIImGykXMds

Saint Eskil was an Anglo-Danish monk who was sent on a mission to Sweden. In about 1080, he went to the Heathen holy site of Strängnäs (probably sacred to Frey since images of him are found there). He attempted to disrupt a blot by lake Malar so the Heathens stoned him to death and chopped up his body. A cathedral stands on the holy site where the blot occurred. The locals reenacted this event with Eskil represented by a woman (see pic).
