June Dudley - Morning Chores

Filmed on location in Northumbria’s ancient capital, this video takes a look at the ghosts that reside in and around Bamburgh Castle. With references coming from old diaries and books, as opposed to just copy and pasted info from blogs and websites, you’ll not find a more detailed video on the folklore of this castle.

1917 advertisement for swastika jewelry from NY Public Library Digital Gallery.

The text reads in part;
To the wearer of swastika will come from the four winds of heaven good luck, long life and prosperity. The swastika is the oldest cross, and the oldest symbol in the world. Of unknown origin, in frequent use in the prehistoric items, it historically first appeared on coins as early as the year 315 B.C.

Prometheus Bringing Fire To Mankind
by Heinrich Fuger

Lots of occult practitioners talk of using fire in their magic practices and rituals, but to me fire itself is magic. To me starting fire by friction the old primitive way is kind of like practicing magic. I don’t believe the official stories on how humans have discovered fire. I prefer to listen to the folk tales of our pagan ancestors. Our native myths and legends tell us the original ancestral generations were gifted the knowledge of fire by the gods. Same as they say the gods have given us the knowledge of metallurgy, among other things.

I wonder, if we have the knowledge of how to summon fire out of nothing just by using a spindle and a fireboard, what other knowledge is out there that we are unaware of. There must be so much knowledge that the gods are hiding from us humans. Perhaps a knowledge of how to call forth water to appear out of nothing. I know this sounds outlandish, but we don’t yet have all of the answers, and we have much to learn
