Happy New Year 🌿

A religion that does not teach you to love and revere your ancestors is a tool of the enemy designed to destroy you.

Desert dogmas that preach universalism are one of the main reasons for the ongoing demographic erasure of Europeans.

These foreign dotrines are so designed as to inflict on their adherents a condition of host to a mind parasite. Such is the nature of subversion.

Anything within yourself that compels you to fight off the very idea of organic faith based on blood and soil is not you speaking/thinking, it is the parasite having taken over the reins of your mind and emotions.

Liberate yourself and return home, whence you originate and to which you truly belong. Or live a lie, dancing to the strings of those conspiring to end you.

Allow yourself to get bored.

This is one of the fastest ways to start doing more.

Most people never come to the point of boredom. They satiate themselves, with their phone, with drugs, with alcohol. Every form of procrastination and entertainment you can think of.

Boredom is uncomfortable because it demands something of you. If you allow yourself to get bored and don’t mask the feeling, you will have no choice but to activate. You will be forced into positive action.

Stop Escaping.

You are here to build! Let stillness force you into work, creation, order, action.

ICYMI: Politician *shockingly* says one thing but does another (posted this elsewhere yesterday but forgot to share here on Telegram 😬)

Two expressions of the same ritual logic: Christianity inhabiting a seasonal system (left), and Yule operating on its own terms (right).

Christmas as Ritual Season (Not Doctrinal Feast)

Even among committed Christians, there is no consensus on the origins or historical grounding of Christmas symbols. What is defended is the season itself, not the accuracy of its explanations — further evidence that Christmas operates primarily as a ritual season, not a doctrinal feast.
This becomes clear not through speculative “Pagan gotcha” arguments, but by listening to Christians themselves.

Some explicitly acknowledge that Christmas customs were adapted from earlier seasonal practices to facilitate conversion. Others accept that the date does not correspond to the historical birth of Jesus, insisting instead that “it symbolizes it.” Still others reject pre-Christian continuities outright — while nevertheless continuing to observe the same seasonal behaviors.

That word — symbolizes — is decisive. Symbols do not require historical precision; rituals require only repetition, timing, and social participation.

Ritual Time vs. Historical Time

Ethnographic and folkloric sources consistently show that midwinter was treated as a period of heightened ritual efficacy, long before Christian theology attached new narratives to it.

Nils Lid documents Scandinavian Yule as a complex of ritual acts involving food left untouched for unseen guests, offerings to household and field spirits, fertility divination, and calendrical forecasting tied explicitly to Christmas night and morning. These practices persist well into the Christian period with little theological reinterpretation.

In Finland and the wider Finno-Baltic sphere, Andreas Nordberg records Christmas as a threshold season used for agricultural omens, weather divination, and future prosperity — functions incompatible with a purely commemorative feast.

Douglas Hill's broad comparative survey shows Christmas repeatedly appearing in European folk belief as a power-bearing date:

• weather and harvest omens tied to Christmas moonlight and sunlight

• beliefs about births on Christmas conferring special abilities

• prohibitions against cutting certain trees or burning specific woods during the season

• ritual bread baked on Christmas Day believed to cure illness

None of these depend on the Nativity narrative. They depend on timing.

Just as Italians name weekdays after planetary gods without conscious pagan intent (lunedì, martedì…), Yule — now called Christmas — operates as a functional inheritance rather than a remembered one. The ritual persists even when its older meanings are no longer articulated — or are actively denied.

Hill notes this pattern explicitly: practices once embedded in Pagan seasonal rites are not erased by Christianity, but reframed, blessed, or tolerated as long as they no longer threaten doctrine. The blessing of ploughs, beating of bounds, and seasonal use of greenery survive precisely because they serve social and agricultural continuity, not theology.

Even attempts to reinterpret symbols — such as identifying the evergreen tree with the biblical burning bush — confirm the point: the ritual object predates the explanation.

Therefore it may be reasonably concluded that Christmas did not replace an earlier ritual season. It inhabited Yule.

The Church supplied narrative and doctrine; the calendar supplied power. What endured was not belief, but practice — repeated annually at the moment when the year itself appeared most vulnerable.

That is why Christmas still works, even when no one agrees on why.

Alfons Mucha and Adolf Hitler?

Working on my next essay. I promised a piece on Alfons Mucha. But, I felt it was important to go into the ethnic problems under the Austro-Hungarian Empire to give some context. This bleeds into ethnic nationalism movements. And surprizing similarities between Mucha and Hitler 🤯

Mucha may have been horrified by the comparison, nevertheless they are both men shaped by many of the same cultural, social, political issues and movements of their day! Both men started exploring other career paths in their youth. Ultimately, both men peaked with going all in dedicating their life’s work to the preservation of their Folk.

The Czechs and the Germans felt their ethnic groups were oppressed under the imperialism of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Both groups fomented ethnic nationalist movements to stand up for their own ethnic survival. World War II cannot be understood without this key background information.

I never said “because we are occupied by foreigners and ZOG, then we should abandon our national identity.” On the contrary, I believe we should embrace our national identity as White Americans! But that necessitates breaking from the symbols and forms of the United States, or at least understanding we are a PEOPLE (Volk), not a government, a constitution or a system.

Our nationality as a people is NOT synonymous with the political entity known as the United States, any more than the nationality of the Russian people was synonymous with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The facts about how and why the British colonies were set up in the New World during the 1600s are well established, there is nothing conspiratorial about it. If you're interested in American national identity then you should learn the real history of your country, not just memorize a few talking points or slogans.

I don't hate my nation, I LOVE my true nation: the White people of America and the land which is our home. But my nation--White America--exists separately from the United States. State-forms come and go, empires rise and fall, but a blood-and-soil Volk remain. Since at least the 1860s this U.S. government has been at war with the idea of a blood-and-soil White nation.

The 1790 Naturalization Act didn't define citizenship as being racially based, it only restricted those obtaining U.S. citizenship through naturalization to Whites, and this included Jews--in fact, Jews were made citizens here in the New World colonies long before this became the case in the British Isles. The Constitution left citizenship to individual states, and this included free Blacks in most states at the time. An Indian treaty in 1831 already opened naturalization of new citizens to nonwhites, and by 1868 the government mandated Black citizenship at the federal level. I could go on and on, but the fact remains the United States was never intended to be a blood-and-soil ethnostste for White people, and even the hope that it could've been so was irrevocably destroyed by the time of the Civil War.

Whites have been in America for over 500 years. I'll grant that for about 40 our 50 years this Republic had the potential to develop into a White nation-state, but this is a tiny fraction of the history of our people, and it's ancient history at this point. We have to forge a new way forward, we can still honor the struggles and achievements of our forefathers but we can't cling to the state-forms of the past.

Why Scandinavian Cabins Stayed Warm At -30°F While Modern Homes Freeze

So over the false dichotomies

Lost Cycle of Humanity

@Gossip_Goblin

Germans had been invited to settle in Eastern European kingdoms for centuries since the middle ages for their in-demand skills. Entire villages were known to be Saxon and spoke the German language.

There is a hidden history about the suppression and persecution of Germans from the 19th century until what amounts to an ethnocide after World War II. What remained of the German stock of Czechoslovakia would have assimilated into Slavic culture and downplayed their German identity until their descendants completely forgot it.

Indeed, my own grandmother told me that her Bavarian father refused to teach her his language for her own safety – in America.

So one does wonder how much the similarities between Czech and German customs is down to shared Aryan substrata or due to a more recent footprint left by the Sudetenland and other Eastern-settled Germans.

The death of the Constitutional Republic.

Mearsheimer: ‘Israel and its supporters are biggest threat to free speech’'The single greatest threat to free speech at this point in time is Israel and its supporters,' renowned American political scientist Prof John Mearsheimer warned. Speaking on the 'Judging Freedom' podcast with Judge Andrew Napolitano, Mearsheimer expressed concern over increasing efforts to silence criticism of Israel, particularly in the context of the ongoing war in Gaza.

George Washington: "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

We have an old superstition here that says if you light a cigarette or a candle with another candle, a fisherman dies. I decided to look that up now. Sounds illogical, right?

Turns out, it does have real meaning behind it.
Back in the old, fishermen were poor and off-season they would often sell matches. So by not buying their matches, it could eventually starve them to death.

I find it interesting to once again find a logical reason in old idioms. This one is common in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe.
Please comment if you've heard it in your country! :)

I assert that the academics are wrong about the so-called “Viking age”.

Germanics in ancient times recognized themselves as mostly a singular folk. There are rune stones in Sweden dedicated to Lombard kings who ruled what we now call Italy.

In fact, many Heathen kings across Europe were related. They saw one another as kin despite regional cultures.

Academics have asserted for years that the early raids such as Lindisfarne (793 CE) was an economic venture.

They weren’t dummies. They knew where kingdoms kept their silver. And if one was in search of plunder, quality slaves or women, a monastery would be the last place to look.

It was an intentional and righteous act of religious justice. Retaliation for the many blasphemies and acts of violence.

Why else target a holy site?

That is why I argue that the so-called “Viking age” was actually a Heathen Holy War.

One that lasted several centuries and plunged Christendom into supplication.

Of course Christian chroniclers wouldn’t record their biggest L.

• 690s-720s: Frankish expansion into Frisia
• 719 CE: Death of Radbod
• 720s-730s: Conquest and Christianization of Frisia
• 724 CE: Desecration of Donar’s Oak
• 754 CE: Death of Boniface at Dokkum
• 772 CE: Destruction of Irminsul
• 772-804 CE: Saxon Wars
• 782 CE: Massacre at Verden
• 785 CE: Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae
• 785-790s: Saxon refugee exodus to Scandinavia
• Late 780s-early 790s: Christian missions penetrate Scandinavia
• 793 CE: Lindisfarne raid​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ (Beginning of Heathen Holy War).

Then for nearly 300 years, mainland Europe was under siege. Humiliated militarily by a force that lacked the resources, centralized power or numbers in comparison to Mongols or Islamic invasions.

With that in mind, the sheer scale, longevity and dominance of the war made it the most crushing and successful Holy War in history.

So I reject the so-called “Viking age” framing. It was clearly a Holy War.
