We have to relearn this, and much much more, and gradually become more self-sufficient. Maybe even at some point completely going off grid.

This is a decent normie-tier doc for covidiots, although they go on and on about 'nazis bad' by the end. Of course... or else it would get shoah'd instantly https://rumble.com/vcstt7-the-reason-why-covid-19-pandemic-was-created-and-our-future.html?fbclid=IwAR27cWxMSsRjwMSE3umCto6czRKOGH_A4YFG20O1W9kUgTsWYa4st6VwHQA
I apologise for my absence these last few days, but my mother came over for a visit, and when she’s with me she gets all of my attention and time. I’ll return tomorrow my dears. Hope you all are well, and keeping warm in this cold weather
Is that what Wikipedia calls it, that it was incorrectly reinterpreted? So it was an accident that Slavic mythological being Kurent was presented as a deviant sex crazed god, instead of what this being really represents.
On the mysterious handbags of the ancients

Although I do not agree with the Thunderbolts people in every detail, they have great ideas and explanations for a lot of things.

They recently released a video, explaining what the mysterious "Handbag of the Gods" might actually be. This handbag can be found all around the globe in ancient reliefs with no connecting culture.

In short: it is a representation of an extreme electrical discharge event, seen as titanic storm.

Watch the video! It also explains to some degree, why we see severe weather conditions and earthquakes.

In Bulgarian traditional belief wolf cubs are born between 1-3 February. These are the first of the two annual Wolf Holidays, and in some parts of the country they are marked by ritual precautions to protect against wolf attack throughout the year. It is taboo to spin, weave, sew or open scissors, and no clothes are made or mended at this time because such clothes attract wolves.
In the Christian calendar 2 February is Candlemas, the day when the Virgin Mary presented baby Jesus at the temple, and there is a popular Bulgarian legend about an encounter between Trifon Zarezan, the patron saint of vineyards, and Mary (“bogoroditsa” - the mother of god) on this day.
But in some parts of Bulgaria 2 February is also known as the Winter Mother of God or the Wolf Mother of God. She is the patroness of pregnancy and childbirth.
The Bulgarian beliefs and tradition associated with this day contain echoes of the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia on 15 February (the old calendar equivalent of 2 February).
There are also parallels with the Polish Matki Boskiej Gromnicznej, the Mother of God of the Thunder Candle, who is celebrated at Candlemas and is also associated with wolves, as well as with the Irish St Brigid.
In some regions the three days from 1-3 February are called the Trifontsi, after Trifon Zarezan, and on 1 February (14 February old calendar) there is a ritual pruning of the vines. St Trifon and the traditions associated with him have their roots in ancient Thracian times and the rites of the wild wine-loving god Dionysus.
Wolves, mothers, vines, Christian saints, Dionysus, Lupercalia – there are many mythological layers associated with this period!

The nice thing about these video's about animism is that the person in the above mentioned video's speaking about this is not a scientist that speaks from theoretical knowledge. That is refreshing because many of us have already got a lot of bookknowledge. Don't get me wrong here, guys: Bookknowledge is very important but at a certain moment bookknowledge is not enough anymore. Then it's time to simply go for it and live that animism! The Tribe of the Fox for instance, loves communicating with the trees. 'How'?, you might ask. Here is how and you can do this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AftlDwBMio

ПАСТУХ НЕБЕСНЫХ СТАД И СКОТИЙ БОГ: ВЕЛЕС В РУССКОЙ ФОЛЬКЛОРНОЙ КАРТИНЕ МИРА

Велес, если мы опираемся на древнейшую этимологию, в первую очередь, — бог потустороннего мира (‘vel’, ‘vol’ — индоевропейские корни, обозначающие смерть). Он — пастух небесных стад, т. е. душ, находящихся на небе, таким же эвфемизмом месяц назван в русских народных загадках. Древнеславянские поверья о луне как пристанище душ мертвых еще раз подтверждают тождественность божества (Велеса) и ночного солнца (Месяца).

Древние славяне отождествляли имя Велеса с неким хтоническим или обычным змеем, а также с медведем. Змей как представитель иномирия связывает Месяц (обитель душ умерших) с Велесом. Объединяющим звеном между Велесом и Месяцем также без сомнения выступает иномирный медведь (дух медведя).

В близкой славянам балтийской мифологии небесный бог загробного мира и хтонический персонаж, связанный с подземным царством, два разных существа — Велс и Вялняс. В древнерусской и славянской картине мира такого разделения не существовало (возможно, определенные границы были, но они стерлись еще в древнейшую эпоху), потому образ Велеса-Волоса двойной и монолитный одновременно.
