Every season the energy changes. Autumn means energy turns more inwards and calms down. Goddesses like Hel and Vrouw Holle become more noticable. This is the perfect season to visit graveyards
And they created school so as the devil ordered.

A child loved nature so he was captured indoors.

He couldn't stay without motion so he was forced to immobility.

He loved working with his hands but he got taught theories and ideas.

He loved speaking - he was ordered to keep silence.

He tried to understand - he was told to learn by heart.

He prefered to research and look for knowledge but he was given it available.

And then children learned something they would never learn under different conditions.

They learned to lie and pretend.

Adolphe Ferriere, a Swiss teacher, one of the founders of progressive education movement. I’m not a promoter of the progressive educational movement, because I don’t know enough about it. I just thought it was interesting what he says here about the way children are educated
This Bolshevik revolutionary used a fake Russian name. In reality he had an original Jewish name (Leo Rosenfeld). He was a son of a Jewish railway worker. It turns out that many so-called Russian rulers, politicians, and other influential prominent people were not Russian, but of a different ethnicity. And to make these foreign agents appear Russian, they were given fake Russian names
Here’s another one. His real name was Lev Davidovich Bronstein comes from Jewish/Ukrainian family

Sometimes it's just fun to make a heathen fieldtrip. Thats what Dirkje and me like to do so i went by train to Dirkje to visit one of the nicest parts of the Netherlands....the Veluwe. Here we encountered ancient burial mounds and a heath that had an obvious 'Underworld' energy to it. The burial mounds were excavated in the early 50's and here archeologists found a body of a woman and named her 'Jantje van Speuld'. Over the years most bodies decayed so much that only the imprint in the earth is left. This is called a 'shadowcorps'. We enjoyed ourselves very much and we made a video on location of our roadtrip.

In addition to benevolent aquatic entities, there were more dangerous ones, such as the female haltijas (haltija = 'keeper', 'custodian') called vedenneito ('maid of the water'). Like the maids of the forest, they were erotically fascinating but dangerous creatures:


"A very beautiful woman with an ample bosom sat on a rock in a lake combing her hair. A young man rowed past her and so took a liking to her that he went to embrace her. She dragged him with her into the lake."

Leppävirta, Northern Savo region, Finland. 1935.


"The Neck [a shapeshifting water spirit; Finnish: näkki] was sitting on a rock, washing itself in the Porvoo river. It had tits like buckets."

Askola, Uusimaa region, Finland.
Little Rus/Slavic kids learning about their ancestors. I just came across this channel, so I don’t really know who these people are. It was good to see them hosting this workshop class for the kids. It looks like some park for learning where they teach children about the ways of their ancestors, playing folk games with them, letting them try foods and drinks that were used in the past. The little kids seem to be really into it

Oh crap just checked out their channel and saw some signs of communism. Sad very disappointing. Is it just me, or is it true that some Russians who are into Slavic paganism are also into Russian communism? Why? And although I don’t know everything about Russian communism, because by the time I was born, it was already falling apart and a new system was coming up, I know enough to understand that Russian communism & Slavic paganism are not the same. Different people give mixed messages because some people speak positively of Russian communism, whilst others people speak negatively of it. All I know is that during communism in Russia it was extreme collectivism/group think. The state was in total control of everything and everyone. Today with neoliberals it kind of looks like it’s a polar opposite of communism, because it only seems as if modern neoliberalism supports individualism, when in reality, the people that modern neoliberalism supports are not actually true individuals, but brainwashed masses who believe themselves to be individuals. In any case none of it identifies with the old pagan ways of Slavic people. I cannot go along with anyone who tries to hijack the authentic ancient pagan Slavic heritage and mix it up with communism or Christianity or any other thing. This may be a much bigger problem than I’m even realising. Communists may be working undercover to try to take over the newly rising Slavic pagan movement in Russia
