I believe it may have been a little bit of everything. Possibly there were gods in human-like physical form, and gods in archetypal, spiritual form, as well as archetypal/spiritual gods that could take a physical form. Mythological, folkloric sources seem to indicate that there was a race of beings who only had a physical form, but they were different from regular humans, because they were more highly advanced, and were very spiritually endowed. They had powerful psychic abilities that regular humans didn’t, and that’s why regular humans called them gods. In reality they were not the gods, but a very ancient advanced races. Like the Elven race for example. Were they spiritual or physical, or both? Very good questions that need answers.

Another interesting question is where did all of the magical, and nonhuman races go? Maybe it’s true what many indigenous cultures around the world believed about the cyclical time, and the never ending cycles of dark age, golden age, and the in-betweens. Maybe it’s true that all of the non-human races, all of the gods go away during dark age, and return when golden age comes back. Kind of like birds fly away for the winter. Where did they go, the hollow earth, or some other dimension?

It’s interesting because at the end of Lord of the rings, when they win the world war, and destroy the one ring, immediately after that they usher in the 4rth age. In Tolkien’s books, the 4th age is a time when all of the non-humans races gradually leave middle-Earth. At the end of “return of the King” when Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo, and elves are leaving on ships, they go to Valinor (The undying lands). The Elven queen Galadriel says; “The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men.” The dominion of men? To me it seems like she says that the age of men has begun, and men will rule middle Earth now. In the books it wasn’t only the elves that leave, most magical races gradually leave middle Earth, and those that stayed behind ended up dying out. Even before the one ring is destroyed, all of the elves are already beginning to leave middle Earth, and go to Valinor (the undying lands).

I just wanted to give you all a little something to think about. Oh, by the way, here is something else that’s interesting, Celtic magical race of people the Tuatha De Danann also leave Ireland towards the end according to their mythology. They leave to a place called “Tir Na Nog” (land of youth). Doesn’t it sort of remind you of Tolkien’s Valinor (the undying lands)

Okay I got nervous when he opened with “Logos” and Xtianity. He’s not informed on the Axial Age religio-philosophical deceptions and Christianity’s role in the global dominion plan (Protocols, Kalergi, etc). However, he is certainly NOT locked into Axial thinking, nor is he part of the dolt right deception.

His mentions of Irish Ogham are on point, deserves more discussion tbh. And nice mention of the dangers of literalist over-rational thinking, (though no conception of (((who))) is behind it or how it’s used for mind control).

Still a good discussion and worth the time to listen.

As I've stated before, the cities are no place for us.

They are where men go to rot and become weak, subjecting themselves to the control of outside influences.

Instead of becoming a mighty warlord or hunter, they work at a corporate furniture chain and pay tribute to the people that sold them into pseudo-slavery. They are pacified with free porn, cheap food, and ill concieved notions of "peace" and "happiness" in an attempt to dilute the blood of their ancestors that still runs through their veins. The more they are plugged into the system, the more rules and harassment they willingly endure.

They forfeit a life among nature, a life among friendly folk. A life where their hard work can be observed and admired by them and their progeny.

This life is the one you must ensure for yourself and your children. If you're still in the cities, it's time to take a hike. Figuratively and literally.
Vanity. Frank Cadogan Cowper (English, 1877-1959).
STILL don't believe the mask and distancing is only for us peasants - and famous people when they know they are about to be filmed or photographed?

If our leaders do not take the virus seriously then why are we supposed to?
'Der Germanische Geist ist der Geist der Freiheit' (The Germanic spirit is the spirit of freedom), according to Hegel. The Tribe of the Fox loves the Spirit of Freedom. Even if you perhaps feel less free in these crazy times you must always remember how to keep your spirit free. If we honour our ancestors, be kind to our naturespirits and if we contact our deities we are anchored in something wholesome. Go to the forests, fields, mountains and ancient monuments of Greater Teutonia and relax with your friends.

Many years ago when dog battery caging became the norm among our fucked up society, I had come across a canine researcher who was as horrified as I was about the claims made by the corporate dog caging industry. He pointed out that in the wild, a canine is NEVER TRAPPED in a den. There are always two exits. A canine is NEVER ALONE because they live in family groups. He pointed out that vets and dog trainers have profit incentive to sell products that make life easier for modern millennial yuppies rather than the welfare of the animal. Your dog wants a den. It’ll be under your coffee table or bed where he can wriggle in and out as he pleases. Do not lock him up for the majority of his life because you made the poor choice to have him when you can’t care for his needs. Pls send this message on to 99% of the dog owners you know who are actually millennial narcissists who abuse their dogs with cages.
