There is some confusion as to what magic actually is. I think this can be cleared up if you just look at the very earliest descriptions of magic. Magic in its earliest form is often referred to as “the art”. I believe this is completely literal. I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, sculpture, or any other form is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness. The very language about magic seems to be talking as much about writing or art as it is about supernatural events. A grimmoir for example, the book of spells is simply a fancy way of saying grammar. Indeed, to cast a spell, is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness. And I believe that this is why an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world that you are likely to see to a Shaman.
I believe that all culture must have arisen from cult. Originally, all of the faucets of our culture, whether they be in the arts or sciences were the province of the Shaman. The fact that in present times, this magical power has degenerated to the level of cheap entertainment and manipulation, is, I think a tragedy. At the moment the people who are using Shamanism and magic to shape our culture are advertisers. Rather than try to wake people up, their Shamanism is used as an opiate to tranquilize people, to make people more manipulable. Their magic box of television, and by their magic words, their jingles can cause everyone in the country to be thinking the same words and have the same banal thoughts all at exactly the same moment.
In all of magic there is an incredibly large linguistic component. The Bardic tradition of magic would place a bard as being much higher and more fearsome than a magician. A magician might curse you. That might make your hands lay funny or you might have a child born with a club foot. If a Bard were to place not a curse upon you, but a satire, then that could destroy you. If it was a clever satire, it might not just destroy you in the eyes of your associates; it would destroy you in the eyes of your family. It would destroy you in your own eyes. And if it was a finely worded and clever satire that might survive and be remembered for decades, even centuries. Then years after you were dead people still might be reading it and laughing at you and your wretchedness and your absurdity. Writers and people who had command of words were respected and feared as people who manipulated magic. In latter times I think that artists and writers have allowed themselves to be sold down the river. They have accepted the prevailing belief that art and writing are merely forms of entertainment. They’re not seen as transformative forces that can change a human being; that can change a society. They are seen as simple entertainment; things with which we can fill 20 minutes, half an hour, while we’re waiting to die. It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.

It is so frustrating seeing rad fems claim that the trans agenda is a "Nazi" agenda". The book burnings that took place in NS Germany were burning trans propaganda and other degenerate filth. Why is it so hard for them to see past this programing?

Viking Hero Leif Erikson Cancelled in Norway
The memory of Viking Explorer Leif Erikson does not deserve the treatment it has received in the past couple of weeks in Norway. However, the good news in all of this is that a lot of people have reacted, which ended up with the directors at our National…

Even though today is usually seen as a marxist day, where they focus on propaganda and wage differ. A day where we Europeans celebrate our loyal and beautiful White Women is in my mind, impossible to be a bad thing.
I therefore want to give thanks to all our White Women that toils and works for their family and our race even though the state does everything in their power to try to stop them, to those who always keep fighting and holding their head up high even though they’re being opposed at every turn, sadly even by some of our own ”men”. YOU are beautiful examples to our daughters and an inspiration for us all, because you keep fighting steadfast even though you might be fighting an up-hill battle. I also want to show appreciation to all our women who have sadly lost hope because of the mass invasion of our countries and all the abuse you have endured.
Let us White Men and White Women stand together and build a better future for each other and for our White Children and to celebrate one another!

Blaming White women for the ills of society is tantamount to being anti White.
You are either pro-White or a misogynist; you cannot be both.

The Danes, with their admirable outwardness, created all the great empires: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. The Norwegians, with their sturdiness and great explorations, the Europe conquering Normans. The Swedes with their conquests and imperiums, the Europe conquering Goths. The Finns, with their druidic ice-cold stoicism and valiant effort, are capable of fighting off superpowers.
Connected thoroughly, all the achievements can be attributed to that civilization together. One cannot say one is simply Danish, or simply Norwegian, Swedish, or Finnish; our peoples are too connected for us to be considered separate.

Laws are only needed for the corrupt. The good hearted have no need of laws & threats of punishment. Perfected races need no laws because they are internally pure. The fact that everyone is constantly debating what laws should or should not be passed is a sign that we are already beyond degenerate and screwed up👇🏻
