The Aino Myth triptych.
By Akaeli Gallen-Kallela
The left image is about the first encounter of Väinämöinen and Aino in the forest.
The right image depicts mournful Aino weeping on the shore and listening to the call of the maids of Vellamo who are playing in the water.
The central panel depicts fishing Väinämöinen having thrown away a small fish, now turning out to be Aino, who laughs at him and vanishes forever.

Children get more from one day in the forest than a lifetime in a church.
They do not need indoctrination, but creative and spiritual freedom.
The wild is our sanctuary, where we have communion with our gods and healing of the soul is found there.
“Nature and children are natural playmates; they're both wild and messy, unpredictable and beautiful.”

It is often asked, if tribes like Vikings and Saxons had such powerful Gods and were so honorable and sure of their ways, then why did they get converted to christianity?
Well, in short, they didn't. There are plenty of descendants of those tribes alive today who still adhere to their ancient Ethnic Spirituality.
What happens is weak people, who make up the vast majority, get converted.
It's exactly the same thing we see today. The strong; the brilliant, are few and they are incorruptible. It's always the weak masses who can be manipulated and corrupted and utilized to overpower the strong few by sheer numbers.
But the strong - The Gods of old, they never die. Like Nature, they are invincible. They reside within us and through the cycle of the ages, they always rise through the strong again.
When you see the weak holding authority, that is the sign the Gods of old will be returning..
Soon.

The Bear & The Maiden Fair
One of the oldest and most widespread elements of Hyperborean faith is the Bear cult. While this can often be traced to a bear mother progenitor there is also a male Bear god, sometimes depicted as a Hairy Wildman.
Found in Fairy Tales, Legends, Myths, and even Wilder Mann customs, the marriage of the Maiden Fertility goddess and the Bear is seen across our lands. The Bear Tsar in Slavia is often seen trying to find a young bride, in the tales of White Bear King Valemon & Snow White and Rose Red where Earth's fertility is connected to the marriage of the Bear and the Maiden Fair. In both the entrance to the Otherworld or the Underworld is implied much as when a bear will go hibernate only to emerge when life returns.
Through these ancient times to modern day this connection echoes, until recently the belief bears would kidnap women and sire Half Bear Supermen was widespread, while women were believed to be drawn to the most bearlike of men.-TLK
