Personification of Countries
Most countries in the western world are personified as women. These "goddesses" however are more than meets the eye.
Columbia is the modern incarnation of the Goddess Libertas in America, she is depicted either as nurturing or armed. She takes some hints from Isis and Hecate as the statue of Liberty, but America is the Land of "Liberty".
The Lady of the Mountain is actually part of the folklore of Iceland, with obvious elements of Icelandic history like the raven and rune stave. Mountains in Iceland are referred to as women, so she also doubles as the queen of mountains.
Britannia finds her origins in Brigantia a synchronized Gallo-Roman Athena/Brigid.
Marianne is also based off Libertas and also draws parallels to Joan of Arc, another pagan mythic figure. (She was burned as a witch).
While Germania largely served as a means with which to unify and represent a free German republic, she has grown to be reminiscent of Holle surrounded by infants.

In Paganism there are several spheres. Within our people there are three core ones The Masculine, the Feminine, and the child. These three intersect at family and community gatherings which can be seen symbolized in the Triquetra the European balance symbol. However, this is important for another reason and that is that the paganism of women and the paganism of men is distinct. Entire deities such as Dionysus had predominantly female followers as did other deities, The Morrigan had predominantly male followers despite her modern "goth goddess" status. The customs of each are also subdivided, certain things were only taught man to young man, or woman to young woman. Songs, customs, skills, stories, celebrations, things only a man OR a woman would know but not the other. This is important to know as we remember our old ways. I as a man am not going to do paganism the same way as a woman, and vice versa. Whether it is spinning songs or Hunting rituals. However as a whole it is still us.-TLK
Keeping it in the Family
Our gods are not yahweh figures that embrace all people regardless of their ethnic and cultural background.
While they do encompass some of the more compassionate qualities that we as Hyperboreans also display, they do not welcome all people, nor should they.
That’s what a tribe should do, viewing those outside the family with a skeptical eye, as history has shown us a very effective way to erase a people is to infiltrate from within.
When you seek to follow gods and cultural norms outside your own historical ties, then you further remove yourself from your heathen heritage and birthright.
Keep it close to home Hyperborean, your soul will resonate with the spirituality of your ancestors and gain the favor of familial gods.

In European tradition, especially under the influence of Alchemy we have the 4 core elements of Water (Liquid), Earth (Solid), Fire (Energy), and Air (Gas). These 4 core elements are also symbolized by an assigned spirit these include Undine for Water, Gnome for Earth, Salamander for Fire, and Sylph for Air. Along with these 4 there is the fifth element known as Aether which has many varied qualities and interpretations, it is derived from the old god Aether who represented the upper air that the gods breathed. Though the concept has been brought forth by numerous people including Tesla. Personally similar to how the 4 core elements correspond to stages of matter, Aether could be seen as potential, spirit, or if you want to go mundane dark matter.-TLK
