The Tribe of the Fox made a fieldtrip to some ancient wells. We visted the 'Adelbertusput' (Well of Adelbert) and the 'Runxput'. Watersprings are gateways to the Underworld and therefore to our ancestors and fertillity. Springs play a major part in Northwest-Eurpoean spirituality. The wells are christianized for over a 1000 years now.... but folks, just do some shamanic journeying at these wells and you shall see these wells are still pagan as pagan can be🙂🧙🏻‍♂️😎! You can even discover that these wells each have their own 'personality' and have ancient spiritbeings living there. The springs even react to the way you do your journeying and let you know if they agree. We had a great heathen day at the wells of our ancestors❤️.
I love this! This applies to ALL ethnic Europeans, and to all indigenous people around the world. The truth is, Judeo-Christian religion/Abrahamism is not the native faith of ethnic European tribes, clans and kingdoms. There was a takeover. There was an overthrow of power, of ruling dynasties. There was a major reformation of faith/spirituality, and all things native, indigenous, ethnic. There was genocide of pagans.

Eolh-secg

We all know this rune, commonly called the Life-rune. It's usually translated as Elk-sedge; however I recently found a reference where the plant was also recorded (in Old English) in the following terms; eolugsecg, eolxsegc, illucseg, ilugseg and ilugsegg – this changes the meaning somewhat. According to Johannes Hoops in their book 'Über Die Altenglischen Pflanzennamen' (1889) the root eoletes means water and they compare this rune to the plant Sea Holly (Sea Thistle). The word secg was used in Anglo-Saxon compound words to mean 'sword' which describes the sharp ended holly for sure!

"die Meerdistel hat ihren Platz am häufigsten im Sumpfe; sie wächst im Wasser, verwundet grimmig, brennt blutig jeden Mann, der sie irgend angreift".

"The sea thistle has its place most often in the swamp; it grows in the water, wounds fiercely, burns bloody every man who attacks it".
Many people believe that western civilization was something good and pure in the beginning, but later became corrupted. I’m not so sure that is the case. Maybe this really is the truth, but maybe the reality is something else entirely.

Stop and ask yourself, on whose ashes was the western civilization built? It was built on top of the ashes of your ethnic pagan ancestral tribes. It was built on top of the ashes of your ancestral pagan faith. It’s not called Western Christian Civilization for no reason.

I started to realize this years ago. I tried bringing this up to people who call themselves European pagans, but no one was listening to me.

I don’t think western civilization means what you think it means. I don’t think western civilization really represents ethnic Europeans.

Possibly, western civilization including the birth of America was always some sort of huge social experiment. I know it’s not what people want to hear, but if there is a possibility of truth here, we must explore it.

It seems that the creators, and drivers of western civilization are following some kind of an agenda, and I believe it’s connected to globalism.

The ones who are driving Western Christian Civilization, were unfolding their agenda in stages.

That’s why in the beginning stages, western civilization consisted of mostly white Europeans, but as the time went on, western civilization became more and more mixed with other ethnicities, and races.

Maybe now we are witnessing the end stage, the final push for globalism. That’s why they are so aggressive with their aims to mix ethnicities and races.

Then again, maybe it’s true that western civilization was good in the beginning, but later became corrupted. However, if that’s true, how can we explain the destruction of our pagan ancestral tribes, their native faith and way of life, a destruction in which western civilization played a major role.

Western civilization is dying. Stop trying to save it.
Western civilization has many things we hold dear, but most of these things come from the pagan world. Western civilization simply incorporated them into itself. So all of the wonderful traditions, customs, celebrations, concept of family core, social roles of genders, and much much more didn’t originate from Western Christian Civilization, but comes from the old pagan world.

And let’s not forget that aside from the beautiful classical music, all of the architecture, poetry, inventions, and other things we love about western civilization, there has also been centuries of mass starvation/famine, plagues, and severe poverty. Not to mention endless religious wars, witch trials, and Spanish Inquisition, followed by materialistic scientism, industrialization, urbanization, factory farming, industrial agriculture, and world wars.

In any case, look at where western civilization is right now! Destruction of traditional way of life, pedophilia, transgender mania, corruption everywhere, child trafficking, abuse of animals, and nature, neofeminism, neoliberalism, hyper sexuality, etc… People of western civilization are too porn & drug addicted, too lazy, too fat, too sick, too distracted by bread and circuses, too ignorant and unaware to care about why they are here, and where they come from.

Today’s Europeans with national pride try to avoid exploring the negative aspects of western civilization, because by speaking against western civilization they somehow feel they are speaking against the people of European countries, and the Europeans lands, but does western civilization really represent ethnic Europeans?

I mean if you are a white European, or white American, and you claim to identify with modern western civilization, technically, you are saying that all of the ethnicities, races, mixed families and mixed individuals who are part of western civilization are all your tribe with whom you identify. I’m just saying that the type of nationalism that identifies with western civilization is not the same as the old authentic ethnic nationalism

I know that this was done on purpose to make things extremely complicated for any surviving ethnic European pagans who will find themselves living in the modern world

Our ancestor’s nationality came from their ethnic heritage, which is different from being a modern nationalist who identifies with western civilization. Because western civilization is not just made up of different Europeans ethnicities. Western civilization is no longer even a mixed bag of European and non-European ethnicities. Modern western civilization consists of large percentage of mixed families and mixed individuals, and these numbers will grow with generations, until all of the unique races, ethnicities, and cultures will completely disappear, and humanity will become one single monorace, monoculture.

This is why it’s a contradiction for modern European pagans to identify with western Christian civilization.

I understand that it’s impossible to rewind the time backwards, and bring back European/Indo European/Aryan pagan tribes and kingdoms. I understand that the western civilization is here now, and it’s becoming more globalist by the year, but I believe it’s still important to sort out exactly who or what is it that we identify with on all levels, spiritually, politically, ethnically, nationally, etc… To our pagan ancestors all these things went together.

I’m not trying to tell anyone what to believe. I’m just sharing my thoughts.

Pausanias gives us a description of a girl’s attire for the Heraean games. The athletes, with their hair hanging freely and dressed in special tunics that cut just above the knee and bared their right shoulder and breast, competed in footraces. The track shortened to about one-sixth the length of the men’s was made up in the Olympic Stadium. While women were not allowed to watch the men’s Olympics, it’s uncertain if men were barred from these all-female races.

Elis decreed that if a married woman (unmarried women could watch) was caught present at the Olympic Games she would be cast down from Mount Typaeum and into the river flowing below, according to Greek geographer and travel writer Pausanias. They also were not allowed to participate in the athletic contests of the Heraean festival, and were barred on penalty of death from the Sanctuary of Zeus.
