The Tartan pattern of the Scottish Kilt is often thought to be a result of the romanticism of the 17th century pushed by weavers. In actuality the Celts have been weaving the Tartan (Plaid) patterns for at least 3000 years, with archaeological finds in Austria dating back at least that far. While the diversity and prominence may have arose in the last few centuries different regions or large clans having their own distinct Tartans are nothing new and arise naturally over time. The designs were so meticulously kept down to a single string, that people have been sued successfully for taking creative liberty with the design. Different colors indicate different lineages and loyalties and histories, and are not simply artistic deference. A Scottish Wedding Tradition is for the man to use his families Plaid as a shawl for a bride after they're married to symbolize her joining his family. The Plaid Kilt is quintessentially Highland Scots and was even banned briefly by the government due to the Highlanders. -TLK

Ogham also known as "Sticks and Trees" and "The Tree Alphabet" is an ancient form of writing known largely from Ireland and the Celtic peoples. It was a gift from the god Ogma. An attempt to reconstruct it has been made though it is incomplete. Ogham is an extremely complex form of writing said to be used for everything from writing words to birdsong to the sound of a brook or even drawing maps, In this way Ogham is more comparable to modern music notes than the Latin alphabet.-TLK
Good talk with Celtic God and The Lore Keeper on masculinity and it’s importance for our men.
We must become the men that our sons need to see in their lives and the role model that they need as well.
We must show our daughters what they should look for in a man.
We must give our women an opportunity to embrace their true feminine by having a masculine man to stand with.
Apologies beforehand for the wind interference.
Tune in!

Today we spoke on the importance of Masculinity in the pagan sphere. This topic is one we could speak on for an entire podcast series let alone a single episode. We spoke on the masculine sphere, the effeminacy that has infiltrated parts of masculine paganism, the importance of the Masculine roles in the family, the balance between the feminine and the masculine and why a man must be masculine to allow his woman to be feminine and vice versa, we also spoke on stoicism, male god archetypes, and the attempt to effeminize pagan figures and Hyperborean men. Check it out and to all those out there in the Wastelands of Modernity, keep your powder dry.

The arrogance of fleas
The nibbling, the irritation, the constant aggravation of the flea, tick and other pests that burrow and bite.
They clearly don’t belong in the bear’s den, the wolf’s pack, or the boar’s nest and are very unwelcome by those who dwell within human dwelling places.
Much like our animal brethren, we too have these pests within our lives, not only physical but in the social sense.
They speak words behind our back, slander, lie, and irritate to drive us to self destruction by an excessive response.

Instead of feasting on our blood as an actual flea would, parasitical people will feast on your misery if you allow it.
These pests have no problem with insulting online whereas they not dare say it face to face, as they know that will be their undoing.
My advice? Uphold your honor and be the better man (or woman!). Definitely don’t allow taunts to go unchallenged, but remain stoic in your convictions and don’t let them get under your skin. That’s what they want.
Why do I write this? Why a flea?
Because they are people as well.
You never really can escape them, but you can definitely flick them away, taking their irrelevance with them.
Life is too short to be a flea-ridden mongrel.
Be proud, Hyperborean, the gods are watching, and so are the fleas.

Three lifetimes of a valiant-footed horse
For a man, and the life is short.
Three lifetimes of a man, nimble rover,
For a stag, keen leaper.
Three lifetimes of a stag, long-lived, long, lean,
For the blackbird of the wood, golden, proud, pretty,
Three lifetimes of the proud, pretty blackbird
For the Oaktree above a fair soil.
Each one of these, a wheel’s band,
Dies without warning.
- Sion Cent, 1430

Daina's are Latvian Folk songs and poems, and one of the richest sources for Latvian mythology. Below are some examples to Saule AKA Dearest Goddess.
This is what I received from the Dearest Goddess
A Yard surrounded by linden trees;
a garden of white poppies
in the middle spins the sun.
-
I'm out of songs, Dearest goddess.
What shall I do?
I Know. Let me find an old bachelor.
Let me ride him to find a new song.
-
Let us eat, let us drink, let us say thanks
to Dearest God and Goddess.
It is the God's bread
it is the Goddess's table,
it is reward for my own hard labor.

The edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) is a little, star-shaped flower with white, velvety leaves native to the Alps, growing high up on the line of perpetual snow, in nearly inaccessible rock crevices.
Its German name Edelweiss means white jewel.
In Alpine countries the gathering of edelweiss is considered an act of daring and a bunch of these flowers brought back from the mountains to a lovely maiden is highly valued by her as proof of the true devotion of her lover.
Edelweiss is worn on their hats by mountain climbers, Alpine guides and chamois hunters as a symbol of Alpine achievement.
The Edelweiss is the national flower emblem of Switzerland.
