On Neith of the Arrows

This is the symbol of the ancient Egyptian Goddess Neith. Does it look familiar? Maybe like the vájra?

This item represents a 'weapon' of the Old Gods. I will show you what it actually is, soon. Everything will make sense and you will begin to understand who/what the primordial Gods are.

On architecture

What you see at the articles image is called Slovenian dovetail notching. A traditional way to construct lasting homes.

Imagine that: if done correctly, these houses can stand for several hundred years and provide a cozy home for the descendands of the builder.

No concrete, no steel, just European craftsmanship.

Morozko by artist Igor Ozhiganov. Morozko is an ancient Slavic name for Slavic Santa Claus figure. Today Eastern Slavs call this figure Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) who comes with his granddaughter Snegurochka (Snow maiden) on New Year’s Eve and delivers gifts to Slavic children. According to some sources, in the olden days, this ancient Slavic pagan deity “Ded Moroz” wasn’t always called Ded (grandfather) and that they simply called him Moroz, Morozko, Morozenko, or Mroz. Some say that this word in Russia was used to describe someone very evil. Also that this ancient Slavic deity wasn’t always deemed kind. Harsh frost is very dangerous for all life, plant, animal, or human. Ancient Slavs didn’t view this ancient deity as an evil to battle. They viewed this deity as part of yearly cycle, it is a necessary part of nature. The name “Moroz” comes from the Proto-Indo-European “*mor-t” (death). The name of the Slavic goddess of death & winter “Morana” is derived from that same root word.
Это интересно! Я не говорю что я к этому приписываюсь, но просто интересно послушать. Кто знает, правда страннее вымысла
