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.

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.
