I just happen to learn that the old Slavic horoscope has 16 different halls of Svarog, and my date of birth (March 16th) falls under the hall of the wolf. The hall of the wolf is connected to god Veles. This is probably why I am drawn to god Veles more than any other Slavic pagan god or goddess, and also why I ended up picking the name Velesa for my pseudonym here on Telegram, being that I’m a female, and this is god Veles’s name feminised.

The spirits of the earth are begging us pls stop listening to greed. Mother Earth needs common people to stop supporting this evil technocratic system that treats organic life and nature as if it’s all about profit making. They’ve turned all things sacred into a business. The wealthiest people on earth not only claim all of the land, all of the resources, all of the living creatures, including humans, but they also see themselves as gods on earth who are in charge of our destiny, our future

Lara Artwood puts out good material. I have not read any of her books, but I’ve seen most of her videos. I don’t always agree with her research, because she relies too much on academic sources, and I don’t trust them, but overall I think she has interesting, content. This is her latest video, in which she delves deeper into ancient sun worship that was practiced by all indigenous cultures around the world.

It’s her, and her husband’s independent research. I like that they try to retain balance when studying their subjects by exploring the available sources of information on both sides, the scholarly, intellectual, as well as the spiritual.

Lara explains something here, something I understood years ago, that the old sun worship, light or fire worship, or any of the sun gods, and solar motives found in ancient cultures doesn’t necessarily describe a physical sun. Because aside from the physical properties of our star that we benefit from here on earth, the sun also has spiritual properties. She explains that the ancient sun worship was more than just growing crops, daytime light, and relief from winter’s freezing cold. Yes it’s all those things, but also something much much deeper.

Last year I posted something relating to this topic. I posted an interview of a female Russian scholar (first name Svetlana, last name slipped my mind) who is no longer alive, and she connected the ancient Sun worship to the white light cosmic ether. If I am remembering correctly, she called it Brahman. Brahman is being briefly mentioned in this video as well.
