It’s always been about the land, the wet, fertile, mossy, mostly cold, very green, insanely feminine land that has took me fully in and captured me. The pulse that is under my feet. How she swallowed me whole and taught me things only she could know, causing our hearts to grow inexplicably sweeter and more tender. It’s a good thing, this tenderness, it’s what opens us up to receive the stories held in our land. The ones that deal in creation and making. The ones we’ve forgotten, the ones who tell us who we are and who we were always meant to be.

The Maypole - Traditional May Day Symbol

Maypole dancing continues to be one of the most popular May Day customs in Europe. No one can say for certain how Maypoles came to be, but they may have been inspired by Norse beliefs in the world tree, Yggdrasil, or Germanic pagan reverence for trees. The practice became especially popular in the British Isles around 1350-1400 AD and can be seen in some celebrations on May Day, Pentecost, or Midsummer.

Traditionally, participants dance around a wooden Maypole while holding colorful ribbons that become decoratively intertwined. The dancers then change direction and repeat the steps in reverse, causing the ribbons to unwind. This is said to symbolize the lengthening of the days as summer begins.

The Celtic Beltane

Beltane, which means “the return of the sun”, is the Gaelic May Day festival. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Its festivities began on the night before May 1st. It fell out of practice in most areas around the 19th century, but was resurrected at one of the most popular Beltane celebrations, the annual fire festival which takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The ancient Celts believed the sun was held prisoner during winter months only to be released each spring to rule the summer sky and they celebrated this mythic release with fire ceremonies and a huge feast to mark the occasion. In this Celtic take on May Day, rituals were performed to protect the cattle, crops, and people, and to encourage growth. Beltane was a time to rejoice in the return of the land’s fertility and it was also the time when livestock would be out to pasture. It was a key moment in the Pagan Wheel of the Year .

In our day and age there is more polarization then ever. Right from the start the Tribe of the Fox decided not to identify with any political or religious ideology whatsoever. Also we don't follow any specific direction in heathenry or paganism but always strive to seek wisdom and first hand experience so we can follow our own path in harmony with our ancestors, naturespirits and deities. Yes, we had our teachers and we still have our teachers and respect them. We don't follow any 'leaders' above us and neither are we leaders. The Tribe of the Fox wants individuals to take charge of their own path. In our view religion and ideology lead to a narrow mind and view. If you look at history you see that lots of suffering was, and still is, caused by people and groups who follow the ideologies and ideas of others. We are not against groups, after all our ancestors lived in groups. However, our ancestors were practical people releated by blood (family) and not entangled in religion and political ideologies. That's why the Tribe of the Fox chooses a more individualistic approach. However we do not deny the strenght of a healthy and free collective. Yes, we also have strong opinions too, like everyone else. But we really want is that folks enjoy all the beauty that heathenry or paganism has to offer. The Tribe of the Fox want to restore the ancient and valuable traditions and knowledge of our ancestors. We want to clear the old overgrown paths again and grow as human beings. We want to share our knowledge and experience freely trough our channels. -Tribe of the Fox🦊

People seem to love or hate Pitbulls. I've seen a lot of people in our circles call them "nigger dogs" and call for them all to be exterminated. Fair enough. My experience with them is they have been great loyal companions. I've had 3 over the years, and the one who came to me now is the best dog I've ever had. She is extremely intelligent, highly trainable and obedient, and very friendly and affectionate, and a definite protector. My first was named Zoe, she was a bit shy and this is because she was abused as a puppy. She was in a horrible living situation and a friend puppynapped her out of that situation to save her but was unable to keep her so I agreed to take her. I was not a pitbull person at all. I felt a lot of the way typical people do, that they are overly aggressive stupid killing machines, but meeting her changed all that for me. I worked with her over the years and she became more confident over time. I was in a relationship at the time I had her and that relationship went through a tough breakup. I ended up taking her with me and my ex kept the other pup. It was a tough time in my life and Zoe was there for me. She was so patient and understanding. She knew what I was going through. Sadly several years later she got cancer and passed soon after. It was very hard losing her. I felt like she had been there for me but I failed her because her cancer was unable to be cured. For the next year after that I had decided I wasn't going to get another dog any time soon. Then a friend told me about this dog that was running around their neighborhood in the city. It had been abandoned and was living on the porch of a vacant house. The friend was a dog lover but was unable to take her because she already had 3 dogs. She sent me a picture of her and that was it. I decided I owed it to Zoe for being there for me, to be there for this pup. She was in a bit of a bad state. She had mange, was undernourished, and was very uptight. It took about a year of working with her and she really came around. She really really impressed me with her intelligence. I used to own a Border Collie and Maggie is every bit as smart as my Border was. She has such a great personality. I take her to the local farm store several times a week just to buy treats and walk around. Everyone loves her there and every time she comes in they yell, MAGGIE IS HERE!!!!

Of course haters will say they are "nigger dogs" and point to the amount of attacks that are reported, which if you look at closer are not all technically pitbulls. To top it off "pitbull" is an umbrella term for a number of breeds and even includes any percent of pitbull mixes. One thing to note is that if you look at history the number of attacks coincide with the increase of niggers owning them. The same way niggers can't handle guns, neither can they handle animals. In my experience, if you understand the breed and can make the commitment to them you will have a great companion. I will say that when the shit hits the fan, that is the dog you're going to want to have if you're going to have one. They will definitely give their life to save yours if they are called to.

So that's my Pitbull story.

Let's talk about air or breath for a moment. The Tribe of the Fox uses oldskool and newskool ways to connect with the deities and the spiritworld. Dirkje experimented on me using a combination of the Wim Hof breathing methode and traditional shamanic work. I wanted to heal and maintain my energysystem. This expanded my bodyawareness and vison during that session in a way i didn't expect. Dirkje herself was in a trance too and healed me with her drum. Wodan and Nehalennia did their work on me❤️. Wodan send me a magnificent helper for this task. Over a week after the session the healing was still ungoing. Who needs mushrooms if you can simply use your own breathing? Being trained in breathingtherapy myself i experienced things like this before however these were unintentionally. This time with Dirkje the aim was spiritual🦊. Thanks, Dirkje🙂!
