To be truly honorable, we must heed the voice of our ancestors and embrace the way of our people.
In ethnic faith.. our way of life, and our gods are bestowed and inherited as gifts from our forebears. This inheritance and endowment is not to be cast aside or squandered on other people or tribes, but used for the benefit of those within our shared biospirit.
Our way is not defined by hating other people or tribes, but neither is it a way of blind acceptance or universalism. Our way arose organically along with our people to sustain us spiritually, socially and mentally, for we share the blood of our ancestors and of the gods.

We should celebrate our heritage and be proud of the many achievements of all our ancestors, regardless of where they may come from, all the while staying true to our own lineage.
Knowing this, we are obligated to bring strength to our tribe, our family, and our ways so that our birthright passes more vigorous to those who come after us.
This is the path of ethnic faith.
This is the way.

In quite a few regions of Central and Western Europe, during the colder months leading up to Yule, one should be mindful to take extra precautions with ensuring the home is spic and span.
A Schnabelperchten throng may venture your way, looking for untidy homes.
In some areas of the continent, celebrants dressed as Schnabelperchten (perchta) stop by to inspect your house to make sure its clean and tidy
Schnabelperchten come to the homes of families to either reward those who were diligent and hardworking, or to punish for laziness.
The reward is silver coins in shoes or buckets of hardworking people, and the punishment is to cut open the belly of a lazy person with the help of their huge scissors and stuff them with straw and stones.
Be warned!

Bronze figurines of deities from the ‘Treasure of Weißenburg’, one of the most important discovered hoards north of the Alps, consisting of around 150 statues, figurines of deities and various vessels.
It's theorized to be the inventory of a temple. The statues were buried in the 3rd century AD and discovered in 1979 by chance during gardening work.
