The ancestors have their place in the centre of my altar. Thanks to the ancestors you are the one you are today. Think about the good characteristics of them and live by that. Off course our day and age have different challenges than the day and age of our ancestors so we need some flexibility here but always live up to the good characteristics of your ancestors. Keep adding greatness, folks😎!
Our ancestors placed a big importance on ancestry, as well as their responsibility for the future generations.

I apologize, I had to delete my last post. 25 minutes into to her podcast, I’ve realized she’s pushing feminism. I’ve also noticed her Hispanic accent which doesn’t make sense, because she was talking about pre-Christian Slavic people and their way of life. Maybe she is Slavic and Hispanic mixed, but since she has a heavy Hispanic accent, this shows me she is more Hispanic than Slavic. I had to delete her podcast about Kupala wreaths when she started talking about modern society being unfair to women who refuse to be mothers and wish to concentrate on their careers instead. This is exactly what most feminists talk about. I don’t judge women who have no kids, because you never know why this may be the case. Each individual case is different. Some women maybe tried having kids, but couldn’t. Some women just haven’t met the right guy with whom they wish to build a family. You never know what’s in each person’s life. So I never judge women without children. However, when women talk about careers being more important than motherhood, to me this stinks of feminism, and I will not share this on my page. I don’t like anyone being negative towards motherhood. I don’t accept that for any woman slaving away for a paycheck for some Corporation is more important than motherhood, but that’s just my opinion. How can they call themselves feminists, when they are fighting to destroy the essence of femininity which is motherhood.

When they ask to see your gods
your book of prayers
show them lines
drawn delicately with veins
on the underside of a bird’s wing
tell them you believe
in giant oaks mottled
and stark against a winter sky
and in nights so frozen
stars crack open spilling
streams of molten ice to earth
and tell them how you drink
a holy wine of honeysuckle
on a warm spring day
and of the softness
of your mother who never taught you
death was life’s reward
but who believed in the earth
and the sun
and a million, million light years
of being.

Bride is a Scottish Goddess associated with life and the wife of the Summer King Angus. She is diametrically opposed to Beira the Queen of Winter who attempted to keep her weak and servile, however Beira's impossible tasks that she gave Bride were conquered one by one by Bride with the help of Father Winter. As Bride and Angus became husband and wife, the touch and power of Bride and Angus banished Beira as the Queen of Winter and brought Spring across the land. -TLK

Freya

My cloak like feathers,
energetic, am I wind?
Soft and bright,
so delight,
power this love divine.

Primal fight,
gracefull fire!
Harm my people?
Death is yours!

Abundant lips
touch the beast,
holding the staf,
of the good men.

Solid ground,
playfull silence,
mothers child
in my nurturing arms.....

If you live in a very rural area you can see reality all around you. Even if you live in a town you can see it. You can see the birds and the squirrels and the insects going about their day. You can see the trees dropping their seeds. Nothing has changed in thousands and thousands of years. It's all as it has been and was meant to be. Only we have changed. The world has not modernized, only we have. We live in a system that has become a monstrosity and has enslaved us. But it's just an illusion. We can let go and live a far more natural life. There was a time where we were already doing it. It's all open ended and up to us. We're living in an illusion. Remember that.
