🌕 Harvest Blót and Harvest Feast in Scandinavia. The tradition is often celebrated now in the beginning of August and stands for the first big harvest. A lot of grain is harvested at the end of July and beginning of August, and this is often taken as a starting point for when the Harvest Blot/Harvest Feast will be held. At the Harvest Blót several gods is honored: Tor (thunder god and protector of the fields), Siv (who presides over the ripening of the grains) and Frey, the god of honor.

🌕 The tradition is also called Late Summer Blót - a pagan tradition that usually are celebrated by Scandinavians near the Autumnal Equinox together with the Autumn Blót. That's because here in the North the harvest usually occurs later in the season.

🌕 Today, 12th of August it's full moon and the full moon is celebrated as the "Harvest Moon" in many other cultures. The moon is larger in autumn and stands closer to the horizon at a lower angle in our parts of the Northern hemisphere. The moon slows down as it reaches the outer edge of it's elliptical orbit and is then experienced by our Earth's atmosphere as larger than usual. The light of the moon also makes the harvesting easier since it's possible to work longer out in the fields. Be sure to keep an extra eye out for the moon today and this fall! 🌝

Trust gut feelings. The saying refers to intuition – that feeling of instinctive understanding. Where does it come from? Perhaps the feeling is the connection we have with our orlæġ or wyrd, guiding us on our path. Today the word yarn is wool that has been spun for weaving but we also use the word to describe a tale or story, so an association here with Wyrd and the Weavers of fate. The origins of the word yarn (from the PIE *ǵʰer) means guts or intestines! The intestines of animals were often used for weaving. This is where we get ‘catgut’ from. Not the guts of cats, but short for cattle-gut. And the Waelcyrges were even known to weave fate with human guts! According to Njal’s Saga, before the Battle of Clontarf a Caithness man named Dörruðr spied twelve Waelcyrges weaving the fates of the fighting men. Their loom was made of bloodied spears – their loom-weights were severed heads and the yarns they wove were the intestines of men. Trust gut feelings.

I would love to see white people simply celebrating their own cultures in groups more often, especially in colony countries being Americanized.
Have European festivals and gatherings that involve food, music, dancing, traditional festivity clothing etc. The more we simply group together as a people, the more we can reclaim our identity as a racial group. We aren't NPCs with out culture, history, or identity. This is how we fight the identity cleansing process by keeping traditions alive.

Christians think we have been christian for 1500 years when parts of Europe were only converted several hundred years ago. To this day what christians think of as christian values and culture is actually a holdover of our natural Ethnic culture and values. The majority of christendom is actually just our own ethnic values and culture absorbed into christianity. There is nothing wrong with our values as a people, there never was.. It's okay to return to your ancient Folk Faith🌿

The most convincing reason for kings to be baptized, however, was the Christian outlook on royalty itself. King ruled by the grace of the Almighty, and to disobey them was to defy God Himself. This «divine right of kings» had no counterpart in German experience. The pre-christian tribes had kings typically chosen by the elders. Their nomination was ratified by the freeman. Some tribes had no king until war threatened, at which time they elected one. Once chose, the king was still subject to the law, and his power was hedged in by the freemen on the one hand and the council of elders on the other. This system of checks and balances came to an end with the coming of Christianity, which centralized royal power at the cost of everyone else. In almost every respect, the rights of ordinary men and women shriveled when our native paganism was replaced by the alien creed.

Asatru A Native European Spirituality by Stephen A. McNallen

The poetic Edda (this is separate from Snorri S.'s Prose Edda) consists of a collection of gods and heroes' songs and is sometimes referred to as the pagan bible. But in the pagan teaching there is no dogma, moreover the Edda is full of humor, ridicule and satire, which you will not find in any other religious book.

The gods were not worshiped because it was demanded, but only because the cosmic order thus remained unbroken. The various writers, called skalds, attributed human qualities to the gods, such as a languishing Freyr (No. 12) and the scandals about Loki (No. 11), the stories also provided popular entertainment. The question and answer conversations, laced with wisdom, reflect an ancient tradition, passed down in this way from generation to generation.
