They did a good job with The Last Kingdom soundtrack by John Lunn and Eivør. My favorite is 4:27 Helig

The Shamaness of Bad Dürrenberg
c. 6500 BCE (Mesolithic)

The Shamaness was found in 1934 in Bad Dürrenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt (DE), buried with an infant in a grave decorated with red ochre.

In the grave were numerous bones and other animal artefacts from deer, crane and turtles, as well as antlers, that would have comprised a magnificent ritual headdress. She was aged between 25 and 30 at her time of death.

The Shamaness was well nourished and held a position of power and prestige in her tribe.

Changing the Letter, 1909. Joseph Edward Southall (English, 1861-1944).

Listening to the folktale he tells in here makes me realize that Slavic tradition has very similar folktale. It’s also about a young maiden who goes on a journey and I clearly remember there was bread in the oven screaming for her to get it out because the bread was burning, and then she meets other characters along the way

The seasons are changing and summer makes way for autumn. This is the season in which Vrouw Holle becomes more present. Recently Dirkje made a great video about het personal relation with this ancient deity. So now it is time to tell the fairytale of Vrouw Holle. Next weekend the Tribe of the Fox will release a video in which we explain the fairytale. It is Vrouw/Frau Holle season🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdBoEsAXmAY

This old, and very traditional Slavic folktale by the name “Swan Geese” describes similar things that was described in Tribe of the Fox video during the telling of Vrouw Holle folktale.

This video contains 2 stories. The one I’ve translated here starts at 2:46

The Slavic story “Swan Geese” goes:

There was a family, a mother, father, a little brother and older sister. Parents had to go into town to pick up some things, and told the older daughter to make sure to watch over the little brother.

When the parents left, the older sister went to play with her friends, and forgot to look after her brother. Little brother was all alone, and this is when the swans came, and stole the little boy.

Sister comes back, and realises that her little brother is gone, and starts panicking. Girl goes to look for him.

She can’t find him anywhere, but as she looked up, in the distance she sees the swans flying away. Girl realises swans took her brother.

After the swans she went, so that she can return her brother. Girl comes across an oven, and asks if oven knows where her little brother went. The oven says to girl, place some logs into me, and I will tell you where to go next. Girl put some logs into the oven, and followed the direction the oven told her to go.

Next, girl runs into an apple tree, and she asks the apple tree if it had seen where the swans took her little brother. The apple tree’s branches were heavy with apples, dragged down to the ground. The Apple tree asks the girl, please shake off my apples, and I will tell you where to go next. The girl helps the apple tree, and the apple tree gives her a new direction to follow.

Next girl runs into a milky river. Girl asks milky river if it knows where her brother was taken. River says, I will tell you where to go, but first I need your help to remove a large boulder that’s blocking my stream. Girl helps the river, and removes the boulder.

Then girl runs into a hedgehog. She asked the hedgehog if it knew where swans took her little brother, and hedgehog told girl to follow where it rolls. Girl followed the hedgehog, and came up on Izbushka na nojkah/log cottage on legs. Inside the cottage the girl saw Baba Yaga. Girl’s little brother was sitting outside, and playing with golden apples.

Girl snuck up, and took her little brother into her arms, and ran back home. As soon as Baba Yaga saw that girl stole her little brother back, she sent the swans after them.

The rest of the tale describes how the characters that the girl met along the way, and helped, ended up helping her when she was running away from Baba Yaga and her swans. The milky river, apple tree, and the oven all help hide the girl, and her brother from the swans. Girl & her little brother get home safely.

I said at the outset that this couple is under contract to the puppetmasters and they’d be unrolled on assignment to publicly barrage Britons for “racism” relentlessly in an effort to shame them into accepting mass immigration and demographic suicide. And guess what? I was right. That’s exactly what they’re doing.
