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!

Religion is crowd control. True spirituality is your personal relationship with divine/gods. Spiritualism is engrained in the indigenous cultures, and ethnic tribes. Our ethnic ancestors did share collective tribal beliefs, folklore, rites of passage, rituals, practices, traditions, customs, and celebrations. However, they did have an understanding that each individual tribe’s member was on his/her own unique spiritual path. Our indigenous ancestors followed a nature-based spirituality that was not separated from their everyday lives. Their spirituality was not separated from nature, from earth, and organic life like the modern religions are
Religion and ideology operate by the same principles: Obey the authorities and follow the rules that other people made to control you. Spirituality however is a very different thing. Spirituality is about the ancestors, naturespirits and deities and actually EXPERIENCING them. Spiritual experience is for free people❤️. So how can you experience the ancestors, naturespirits and deities? Well, that depends on you as a person. Some of us are able to to shamanic journeying, others love ritual work, some love magic and the runes or simply chill out in nature. Let nobody tell you what to do with your spirituality. Off course studying and seeking advice is very important but never forget that YOU are the authority. The early 20th century mystic Rudolf Steiner already warned us for powers that want to control us by overorganizing. He also warned us for the war on our spirituality. Even vaccins were to be weaponized by dark forces, Steiner said🤔.

Yesterday I finally concluded three commissions on which I have been working for nine months. To celebrate, I decided to paint this painting which took my about 4 hours. I'll upload the commissions once I get permission from my client.

National dance and song festival in latvia 🇱🇻

In the baltic countries the old pagan traditions are still very alive because that area in europe was christianized very late (in the 16 century).

From the year 1365 till now, cheese is sold on this famous cheese market in the Dutch city Alkmaar. There is a whole joyful ritual surrounding the trading of the cheeses. There are cheese carriers, cheese scales, a foreman who can be recognized by a silver shield, a cheese father with a staff with silver buttons and a few servants.

At 10.00 in the morning (usually on Fridays) the bell rings and then the inspection and weighing of the cheeses begins. In addition to the cheese girls, there are also cheese boys in traditional costume on the market.

I’ve come across the same information in my research. China’s real history is hidden from the world. If you study the folklore, and available bits and pieces of information on alternative history of China, you will find some mention of white gods. You will also learn that there were over 500 tall, caucasian, blonde mummies discovered in China. There’s also some talk about China’s pyramids of which there are over 300. Chinese government has been hiding the pyramids in China up until recently. This is a known fact. They were asking farmers to plant trees and other vegetation on top of the pyramids to make them appear more natural. They had guards standing guarding the pyramids and throwing people to jail if they come near attempting to take photos. In recent history airplanes flying over China started to notice pyramids and now it’s starting to come out to the world. Some say that the pyramids come with legends that they were built by ancient white gods who were called sun gods, and that the Asian population in China wasn’t always there. I’ve also heard from another source that in the 1700s Chinese government ordered Chinese historians to rewrite the entire Chinese history. They were collecting all of the books in the land. I made a post about it years ago. They collected the books and they separated them in four categories. I cannot remember the details but basically there was a lot of books destroyed during that time.

And I’ve made many posts about the white gods/ruling dynasties, or a mystery white inhabitants that lived in places like New Zealand, Japan, Peru, Egypt, and other places, who were deliberately erased from our history.

I’ve shared several posts specifically about the mysterious Chachapoyas, or the Cloud People who inhabited the Cloud Forest in Peru. They were tall, fair skinned, blond people. The evidence to back it up were the many tall, caucasian, blond mummies that were discovered in Peru Cloud Forest.

Unfortunately most people refuse to look into this, because they don’t take any of this seriously, because it’s not part of official records. They fail to understand who controls the official information. They don’t get that official information is controlled by the people who want to hide the real past. Also to learn about this hidden history it takes time, and dedication, and most folks are too lazy to research. You have to have passion for knowledge and love for the truth. You have to have a fire of curiosity for the truth burning within you
