Mountain Stream in the Moonlight, 1905. Albert Rieger (Austrian, 1834-1905).
This painting includes the traditional Slavic music instrument “Gusli”. I can’t find much on this topic in the English-speaking sources, but a lot of Russian researchers, and even a few academics are talking about Gusli, and how the Christian/Orthodox church, as well as the Christian/Orthodox monarchs (Romanovs) were forbidding the Slavic commoners to play certain traditional musical instruments. Gusli was one of the major ones that for some reason the church was threatened by, and so the church was destroying these instruments and even burning piles of them on the streets. Gusli Is a big part of Slavic heritage, and is even mentioned in Slavic mythology. The Orthodox church was forcing the Slavic people to throw away musical instruments that were dear to them, musical instruments that were played by their grandfathers; and their great grandfathers, and generations of ancestors. This is how they were separating indigenous people from their roots. They were doing it on all levels
The Frog Tsarevna, 1918. Viktor Vasnetsov (Russian, 1848-1926).
Do we as parents have parental rights over our own children as citizens of modern Western countries, or is it just an illusion of parental rights? A lot of people who’ve gotten into a legal situation with their governments, and put through the court system were shocked to learn the absolute lack of parental rights. If it cones down to it, and it’s you against the state, the state think it owns you & your kids.

I agree with what the post says, but I can’t look at this video. It’s too horrific, too gruesome and cruel for me to look at. To me personally, watching animals get brutally slaughtered this way or abused is like watching this being done to small kids, because in my eyes, animals are as innocent and as pure as children. The only meat I eat few days a week is fresh seafood, but all those who do slaughter animals for food should try to do it as fast, and as painless as possible. And it’s not just about the slaughter moment, which is the end of the animal’s life. How the animal is raised is also very important, and should be done with care, and compassion. The animals should be kept in a clean, healthy environment, and try to make it as natural as possible for the animals. So that they could at least have a decent life before they give their life to become food for you & your family.

Tiny sparks ⚡️ are all we need to unleash the Aryan revival our predecessors dreamt of. First and foremost it begins with opposing the Abrahamic horseshit religions and their horrific and abusive policies. Animals are worth more to the Aryan than zombies infected by mind virus. We MUST make animal protection a major focus of our platform.

Came on this completely by accident. Apparently a local council in the UK has published a guide to "white supremacists" and warns that white ethno-protectionism is a clear and present danger to society. The globalists in control of every white nation are positioning us for the slaughter they're planning if we don't do something.

At the First Touch of Winter, Summer Fades Away, 1897. Valentine Cameron Prinsep (British, 1838-1904).
Sir John and Lady Sybil. Joseph Christian Leyendecker (German-American, 1874-1951).
This is specifically on Polish Slavic traditional wedding wear, but in all Slavic nations, women were known to wear flower crowns. The tradition of the flower crown is very ancient in Europe, and I personally do not believe that all European nations got their flower crown idea from the Romans. Flower crowns were worn by Europeans long before the Romans came on the scene. https://www.google.com/amp/s/lamusdworski.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/flower-crowns/amp/

This household god sort of reminds me of Slavic house spirit the Domovoi

Cofgod
/
ˈkoːfˌɡod/

'Cofgod' (plural Cofgodas ("cove-gods")) was an Old English term for a household god in Anglo-Saxon paganism.

The Classicist Ken Dowden opined that the cofgodas were the equivalent of the Penates found in Ancient Rome. Dowden also compared them to the Kobolds of later German folklore, arguing that they had both originated from the kofewalt, a spirit that had power over a room. If it is true that such beings were known to the early English, later legendary beings such as the English hob and Anglo-Celtic brownie would be the modern survival of the cofgod.
