↟ I am looking at this ancient rune carving through the thousands of ancestors that watched it before me. I am reliving their memories, I am them. Native Scandinavian from Sweden, repost from: @viktoria_louise ✨️

This rock carving is located in Södermanland, Sweden with inscription from the 1000s A.D. of the younger futhark:

ᚠᚢᚦᚬᚱᚴ   ᚼᚿᛁᛅᛋ   ᛏᛒᛉᛚᛣ
× fuþąrk × hnias × tbmlʀ ×

The runes is carved directly on the surface of a steep mountain wall and is located on the former property of the now-disapeared village of "Berga". Rune stones were often carved in memorial of a fallen family member, but also in memory of a road, a bridge building or after seafaring Vikings. The inscription of what is left of the runes through all these years of eroding decipher the following:
ku... ---kuna × li...u × hakua × stain × thina × auk × buru × th...a × -- ...sinn
"... (and) Gunna had this stone... - continues in comment below! ⬇️

↟ Dísablót/Disting -an ancient Swedish thing ↟

🌕 Dísablót & Disting is a ancient tradition that is considered to have taken place today - at the third full moon after the Winter Solstice mainly here in Sweden, Scandinavia. The blót was held to show reverence for Spring, to ensure good fertility and harvest for the coming year. Several gods are worshiped, mainly the Dísir - female goddesses of fate in our Norse mythology, whom can be both benevolent and evil. A dís exist for example the night, the wind and the rain - Skaði is sometimes associated with the winter dís.

🌕 Dísablót is one of the most famous blóts and like Hókunótt/Midwinter/Juólblót also one of the most misunderstood. According to the Heimskringla Saga, this Swedish tradition is "as old as Heathenry itself". Disting was taking form of a large market (named after the Dísir), which is still held today in Old Uppsala,... - continues in comment below! ⬇️

↟ This is Scandinavia ↟
The North, The land and the people beyond the Northern Wind, Thule, Hyperborea - Scandinavia has since ancient times been mythical and unexplored.

Scandinavians was first mentioned by the greek historian Herodotos, who writes about Aristeas -a poet who lived 700BC. He told he had ventured the North which he called Hyperborea, and met the people who he called "Hyperboreans" or "The people North of the northern Wind". This people describes to be quite tall with light skin and often with blonde hair. They lived with harsh winters and decended from the northern wind itself, and are identified as today's native Scandinavians.

Herodotos mention a snow nymph whom also decended from the northern wind -Skaði from Old Norse mythology. Skaði is the mythical goddess of the wilderness who hunts in the Scandinavian mountains Scandes, with a bow and skis... - continues in comment below! ⬇️

↟ Skaði - The mythical goddess of the northern wilderness, who hunts in the mountains of Scandes with a bow and skis. Sometimes Skaði associates with the winter dís, and she lived among frost giants in Trymheim and Jotunheim. The giant Tjasse is her father.

In Norse mythology the story goes that she came to Asgard to avenge her father, the giant Tjasse who was killed by the gods of Asgard. Instead of revenge the gods offered her a compensation - she would marry one of them. To do so, she had to choose by looking at their feet while they're lined up behind a cloth.

Skaði wanted to marry the god of light Baldr, and thought that the most beautiful feet must be his. But it was not, those feet belonged to the god of the sea; Njord. The marriage was not successful, Njord wanted to live by the sea in his dwelling Noatun. Skaði wanted to live in the mountains and hear the wolves... - continues in comment below! ⬇️
