In French folklore onions are used to predict the weather.
If the onions had especially thick skins then it is said to predict that there will be an especially cold, harsh winter ahead.

The "Barbegazi" (from French "barbe-glacée", "frost-beard") hailing from Alpine folklore is a type of gnome fond of the snowy summits and mountainous terrain.
Hiding in their caves or cottages during summer, they emerge during the winter using their enormous feet as skis to traverse the mountainsides.

Fimbulvetr, which means "great winter," is the prelude to Ragnarök, also known as “The twilight of the gods” which concludes with the great apocalyptic battle of the Norse gods.
This years-long snowfall will end all life on Earth, paving the way for the gods to wage war, and as the dust settles, new life is born marking the dawn of a new age.
Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors… Lif and Lifthrasir.

Nehalennia is the Goddess of the Northsea and the rivers that flow into the Northsea. Therefore Nehalennia is a very important deity in Dutch heathenism/paganism. Nehalennia brings protection, joy and prosperity. Her energy is young and playful altough she is an ancient goddess. This morning i visited Her at the river Nieuwe Maas and made an offering to Her. That reminded me of a video Dirkje made about Nehalennia. In this video Dirkje reads a beautiful poem she wrote for our Goddess of the Northsea and talks about Nehalennia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPO7DLJEpRI

Nehalennia, ancient but not forgotten

You are so welcome! We need to support one another, and help to spread awareness. We don’t all have to agree on every little thing. That’s not the point. The point is to come together to try to preserve what is left of indigenous Europeans. We all come from different indigenous European cultures, but we are all part of the European/Aryan family tree. We are Slavic folk, Nordic folk, Celtic folk, Finnish folk, Iberian folk, Greek folk, etc.. there are some clear differences that separate us, but at the same time, there are many similarities that unite us

THE OLD WAYS
I explore hidden history & other alternative information, European/ Slavic pagan music & folk art, ethnic folk traditions & rites of indigenous European/ Slavic people, animism, and more...
I never liked zoos. I understand that some zoos are much better than others, but even the nicest zoo is a prison cell for the animals housed within its walls. I’m not one of those extreme animal activists, I would never tell others what they should think, do or not do, but, personally, I can not support any place that uses animals as slaves to exploit for money. Here where I live in Florida we have a really nice zoo, with great care for the animals, and the animals get a decent amount of space, but each time I use to visit, the animals just looked depressed, many of them are just laying there looking miserable. And as years went on, and I started to become more empathetic towards all animals, I began to learn about the cruel torture animals go through in science labs, and about the horrors that take place in factory farms, industrial slaughter houses, which led me to changing my diet, lifestyle, and my entire view of animals, I stopped visiting my local zoo. Some people tell me that the animals are better off in the zoo than they are out there in the wild, because of poachers but, there has to be a better answer to the poacher issue. Besides, only some zoos around the world have the resources, and the dedicated animal loving employees to make it a decent life for the animals. Some of these poor countries treat their zoo animals like trash. Their zoo animals are better off getting shot by a poacher, than to live in their horrible zoos, because at least getting shot by a poacher is a quick and easy death, compared to being housed in one of those zoos in poor countries, which is like a slow painful death. Starvation most of the times, and in other cases they just don’t have the resources like medical help for the animals.
