The Shamanic journey goes on with PART 3 in the series about shamanic journeying. This time the Tribe of the Fox speaks about fear and danger in shamanic journeying. Doing shamanic journeying is not always for the faint of heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ePPeZTb-6Q&t=5s

When I explore modern official sources, looking for available information on any mythological creature, or any of the pagan gods, folkloric being, etc..., I cannot help but be suspicious of whatever information that “they” made available for the public.
Most people in our circles don’t even need to ask why, why would those in charge of official records/information be tampering with this information, because most of us already know exactly why this would be done.
Throughout the years I found that there are more than one reason for tampering with our history, tampering with the truth. There are multiple reasons why they do it, and have been doing it for centuries if not longer. And none of those reasons benefit us the people.
In the past, people were blind, and naive. We just blindly assumed that ALL official information is automatically correct, it’s automatically true, and accurate. We assumed that since the information got a stamp of approval and accepted as official information, then this means this information was based on scientific study, and this information has already been verified by a team of experts and specialists, and that there is no more need for us to do any kind of verifying or checking because it’s already been done for us.
In the past people blindly accepted official information, but when it came to any of the alternative information, people automatically viewed it with suspicion, and we felt the need to verify it. People just recently started to feel suspicious of official information sources.
Now finally people are waking up, and they are beginning to apply critical thinking, discernment, healthy scepticism to any source of information that they encounter be it official or alternative. People are starting to think for themselves, and rely on their intuition.
Today people everywhere are questioning everything, from religion, to history, to official scientific theories, government system, media, healthcare system, food industry, etc.... I don’t know, maybe this has something to do with the fact that we are now entering the age of Aquarius, which is said to be the age of revealing.
Now, I want to come back to what I was originally discussing in the beginning of this post. I was discussing the available information that we can find in official sources on any particular pagan god, goddess, mythological being, folkloric creature, etc...
My personal way of doing this, is that although I do use official sources, I definitely don’t trust them to deliver the truth. They are not totally useless though. Throughout my journey, I learned that official sources do not give you 100% lies. I found that they give you truth mixed with lies, or semi-truths mixed with lies.
Either way, there is a degree of truth in official sources, and if you’re clever enough, intelligent enough, wise enough, experienced & skilled enough, you can extract it. You’ll be able to weed out what you can use, and throw away the rest.
So my advice to anyone who is researching any particular mythological being, any pagan god or goddess, definitely do not buy the story that the official sources are selling you. Take the official information, and just throw it on a shelf, leave it there, and continue searching on your own. Whatever the god/goddess, or mythological being that you’re researching, go to the indigenous culture that it belongs to. Go to the source. Listen to what the natives of that land have to say about this particular god/goddess or mythological being or whatever it is that you’re exploring. You’ll usually find a living folklore & folk traditions of that indigenous culture still alive even today.
This is where you’ll most likely to find true answers. That’s where you’ll hear the people say things like “my great grandma told me this”, or “this is what is known here among our people”. That’s where the oral tradition still lives on, and people still pass the ancient knowledge through folk tales, songs, dances, folk art, symbolism/embroidery, etc...

It may even be, that the information on a particular pagan god/goddess that comes from the organic original source, which is the indigenous people themselves and their ancient knowledge that was passed down through the oral tradition, will not match the information on the same pagan god/goddess that you get from official/academic sources

People speak of “Grandmother Ayahuasca” as a teacher connected to the plant. Absinthe users spoke of the “Green Fairy” who was especially inspiring to artists and poets. PhD mycologist Paul Stamets has asserted that mushrooms have a consciousness and they are a spiritual teacher. We are people of the Northern Woodlands (mushroom habitat), these mushrooms were highly prevalent in all of our ethno-spiritual cultural art, even in our holiday cards up until the paradigm shift of 1945. Never let someone push you into trying something that you don’t feel called to try. But, likewise, be VERY suspicious of anyone claiming to be a voice for indigenous European revival who endorses an Abrahamic view of entheogens. It’s almost certain that these mushrooms would have been one ingredient in the Aryan sacred drink called Soma. They’ve been an amazing teacher for me. What guides you might be different. Just know that shamanic spiritual guides are there for you, too. Your intuition will bring you to them if you want them.
I had a feeling that the church took over many public buildings after they gained power. They claimed some of the buildings, cathedrals, and other structures that were already standing. Some of these buildings may have been there long before Christians took it over. I think the christians converted some public buildings into their churches/Christian Cathedrals. They probably did this all around the world. They placed their inscriptions on ancient ruins too to make it seem as if Christians created them. It’s not impossible for them to convert such large structures to better suit their needs. Wealthy people have actually moved entire buildings from one continent to another. And we already know even from official records that the church tore down pagan temples everywhere and on top of those sacred pagan sites they built their Christian churches.

On cathedrals
I know there are still people around who point at the impressive cathedrals as pinnacle of Christian culture. What if I tell you that this statement is wrong?
Original Christian temples were octagonal (8 corners) and looked very minimalistic. Just look at Jewish architecture. Same spirit.
The impressive Gothic cathedrals with the playful decoration and the massive columns are an expression of the European spirit and originally built to be community centres, to play theatre, meet and celebrate European festivals. The columns resemble mighty tree trunks and the artfully decorated ceilings are a symbol for the European forest.
Also the basic architecture is based on European king halls.
Guess who financed these buildings: wealthy European citizens, not the Vatican. European workforce brought these monuments to life.
The subversive Catholic priests only claimed this accomplishment afterwards.
Cathedrals are inherently European, not Abrahamic!

If they can relocate such large structures, then they can easily reconstruct or convert a large structure from service one purpose to serving a completely different purpose.

I have recently talked about writing a book on Italian paganism and the Strega. As I have begun trying to put this together, I realized that I have so much information and so much more to learn that for the time being a blog seems to be the better way to go. I want to share a link to my blog here. I will try to do at least one or two posts a week. :) I hope you will check it out and will find my writing interesting and informative! 🇮🇹❤️🤍💚

Here We Come A Wassailing
A bit of heathen Yuletide cheer to you all for the darkness of the longest night 🍻 💛 (you can substitute "god" for "gods" of course)
There are actually 2 types of Wassailing...
Here in the picture they are blessing the orchard for a fruitful apple harvest…
