Homemade carrot cake with chocolate buttercream inside, and cream cheese frosting outside.
The midnight blue tablecloth for my party dinner table may seem tacky, but midnight blue is one of the two of my favorite colors. The second one is forest green. Also it’s a new year’s celebration, and plus my local stores ran out of party decorations, since I do everything at the last minute
I don’t eat meat except for fish, shrimp, and crab, but I prepared some roasted chickens, and honey and brown sugar glazed ham for the guests
For me and my two daughters I prepared pan seared salmon. I hope you all had a great holiday season, and may this year be abundant, successful, full of happiness for all of us

This right here is why merchants and bankers promote Christianity, Islam, Judaism, communism, and atheism, and ALL of them persecute indigenous paganism.
"There are practically no Mari businessmen, points out Tanakov, as the main local business is felling timber. “A Mari can’t do this - his conscience won’t allow him - because a tree contains a soul in a transitional process of evolution. If you have felled a tree, you have destroyed a living being.” Selling spring water is also out. “Water is one of the hypostases of Yumo, so that means selling God.” Should traditional values such as these be promoted among the Mari, he muses, the state authorities would lose their ability to control the populace. “Wealth would no longer be an instrument of power.”

Soviet anti-religion has returned, claim Europe's last surviving pagans
In their remote forest republic 400 miles east of the Moscow, the pagan Mari people are once again being harassed by the authorities. While the administrative lever used today is different — charges of “extremism” — their approach is more than reminiscent…
The figure in a pointy hat is J.R.R. Tolkien’s Gandalf. The other winged figure is Carl Jung’s Philemon.
Most people are not aware that there’s a synchronicity between Tolkien’s Redbook that’s called “The Redbook of Westmarch” & Jung’s red book called “The Red Book Liber Novus.”
This is just one of the parallels out of many others. Gandalf is the old wizard from Tolkien’s LOTR Trilogy & Hobbit. Philemon is an old wise man from Carl Jung’s dream/vision. He was very significant character/person/being throughout Jung’s Redbook.
Both Tolkien & Jung said that they didn’t imagine or invent these characters, they have discovered them. I would say both men channeled this information through them.
Tolkien’s discovery would come in through deep imagination. For Jung it was through deep psychology.
Tolkien’s faerie realm was Jung’s deep, collective unconscious. Both Philemon & Gandalf were wise old men who provided guidance, and taught magic

The Tribe of the Fox enjoyed the writing of HeimdallR's Home about Frau Holle we just forwarded to our channel. Why? Well, Vrouw Holle (as we call her in Holland) is a very important deity for Dutch heathenism/paganism. England is related to the deity Ing, Austria to Ostara, Frisia to Freya and Holland to Holle. Even if this might not be historically correct it still makes sense. Dirkje and me experience Vrouw Holle as a very liminal goddess. She is not just related to the Underworld but also to the inbetween realms. And isn't Holland a liminal country? Located for nearly 50% beneath sea level, squeezed between the Northsea (Nehalennia's realm) and the Northern German flatlands. Our misty, wet and liminal country is the Vrouw Holle's land and we are proud of it😎. Hail Vrouw Holle and the Dutch heathens-pagans. And hail TAO for his nice writing about Holle👍🏻.
