Civilization comes at a cost.
The price is steep, all things good and mighty surrendered, virility, wildness, risk. It costs our Strength, our Courage, our Wisdom, our mastery of self and most of all our honor and nobility.

The Burning of Old Bartle

The Burning of Old Bartle or "Owd Bartle" is an ancient ceremony from Yorkshire, England. It involves the parading through the streets of a scarecrow effigy, while drinking and singing a song before burning the effigy of Old Bartle. The tradition takes place in August around St. Bartholomew's Day.

The Burning Bartle Song:

On Penhill Crags he tore his rags

Hunters Thorn he blew his horn

Cappelbank Stee happened a misfortune and brak’ his knee

Grassgill Beck he brak’ his neck

Wadhams End he couldn’t fend

Grassgill End we’ll mak’ his end

Shout, lads, shout!

Greetings,

It appears many channels have grown exponentially within the last couple of days due to channel sharing - which is fantastic - as we must support one another if we are to grow as a people who have one thing in common: bring back the old ways of our forebears. Our mission is to revive that which had been buried and almost forgotten for a long time. Some channels will focus on the gods & goddesses, whereas others will focus on folklore, culture & tradition, art, family, permaculture & self-sufficiency, nature & animals, etc., all of which are fundamental to European cultural revivalism.

Now, for those of you who are new to my channel, or have never heard of me before, I am a South African (Swedish descent) pagan artist who focuses primarily on art, with the intent to create original artwork that'll represent our culture in a positive, fun, creative and respectful light. As an artist, I am still learning new techniques to improve and/or refine my artwork (artists never stop learning), so a lot of my paintings will not necessarily be pagan-orientated, though I'll try my best to keep it within the traditional style of those before me.

I love art, culture and folklore. I'm enamoured of wolves as they are inseparable from my culture - especially the stories of the Ironwood forest and, of course, those of our most important tales. Fenrir is my patron god!

Nevertheless, I have been quite busy of late, working on multiple commissions I'm hoping to conclude by the end of September, as well as the next issue of our magazine due out in October, and I'd like to create more merchandise for my online stores in the near future. I'll appear on Hyperborean Radio some time this week to talk about my "spiritual/pagan transition", which will be fun, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, please take a gander at the channels below for your daily dose of paganism, as well as my online stores to purchase my artwork which will avail me tremendously - basically paying for the exorbitant fees of immigration.

Thank you so much for all the support I have received. All the trials and tribulations, notwithstanding, I still feel blessed by all the wonderful people who have taken an interest in my work.

October
BY ROBERT FROST

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.
"A man can have such a strong fear of darkness that he's grateful to be accompanied by a ghost"

Sigurd Hoel, Møte ved milepelen
"Young Girl and Death"
by Richard Nicolaus Holst (1894).

The Tradition of European Witches covers numerous roles from Seers to Herbalist, but one notable ability gifted at birth is that of sending the spirit from the body. This is often done with the soul in the form of an animal or atop an animal. This tradition of Shapeshifting was done in order to perform specific tasks such as fighting rival Witches, visiting the land of the dead, or defending the land from spirits of winter and infertility. The animal may vary with "werewolves" specifically shifting into Wolves and Wolf like beasts. This role was typically performed around holy days and festivals though those truly born with the gift in the lore could do it when they wish. This does leave the body vulnerable though as it is in a state of near death, and easily killed in this state. The other way of shapeshifting for European magic users was by casting ones consciousness into another animal or "borrowing".This is but one function of the Witch in European tradition, as a servant and aid to their people.-TLK

Trick or Treating is one of the most well known traditions of Halloween, finding its roots in pagan traditions of Samhain and related Holidays. While there is an aspect of Community building in the actions the tradition of the children embodying the dead is very old indeed. Spirits both of the land and of the dead are abundant in our realm at this time. The costumes both fool the more misanthropic spirits and comfort the more friendly ones so as not to be concerned about us harming them. Mixed in with the Trick Or Treaters are also the spirits of the dead who come to enjoy the treats given or perform tricks if they do not receive them, as an example of "The Food of the Dead". With an older version of this called "Souling" directly related to the dead. When Trick r' Treaters show up sometimes it is a human in a costume, sometimes it is the dead showing themselves hidden among the buzz lightyears and pint sized Iron Man.-TLK

Beowulf is one of the longest surviving and most important stories of Old English legend written in the heroic poetry style that flourished after the settlement of Germanic peoples in Britain from the 5th century.

His character is comparable with the hero Sigurd, a dragon-slayer known to us from other works of Germanic and Old Norse literature such as the Vǫlsunga saga from Iceland.
