The Tribe of the Fox loves to make fieldtrips🙂. Rural parts of the country are always a good place to be especially in lockdown time. However the old Dutch towns are also beautiful❤️. As soon as the facemask nonsense is over Dirkje and me want to visit the Museum of Antiquities (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) in the universitytown of Leiden. I visted this museum several times over the last three decades and it never gets boring. The largest collection of altars dedicated to the goddess Nehalennia can be found there! So if you ever visit our small but beautiful country......here is the website of the museum https://www.rmo.nl/en/collection/highlights-collection/nehalennia-altar/

Het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden is het nationale archeologiemuseum van Nederland. Het is gevestigd in een oud herenhuis en begijnhof, een monumentaal
Haber et. al. (2015) could not find any traces of admixture among Armenians for at least 4000 years, concluding that:
“Our tests suggest that Armenians had no significant mixture with other populations in their recent history and have thus been genetically isolated since the end of the Bronze Age.”
“The position of the Armenians within the global genetic diversity is unique and appears to mirror the geographical location of Anatolia. Armenians’ adoption of a distinctive culture early in their history resulted in their genetic isolation from their surroundings.”
New evidence reveals that this continuity indeed extends beyond the Bronze Age (based on Mitochondrial DNA), going back all the way to 7811 years ago. Mitochondria are passed from mothers to their children. Therefore, the study of mitochondrial genomes enables scientists to trace the unique history of females over time.
This brand new study researching ancient maternal DNA from skeletal remains excavated in Armenia and Artsakh found strong matches with the DNA of modern Armenians. The study titled: “Eight Millennia of Matrilineal Genetic Continuity in the South Caucasus” published yesterday in the Current Biology journal has investigated 52 ancient genomes from skeletal remains excavated in Armenia and Artsakh. The calibrated radiocarbon dates of the ancient samples ranged between 300 and 7,811 years BP.
“We analyzed many ancient and modern mitochondrial genomes in parts of the South Caucasus and found genetic continuity for at least 8,000 years,”
said Ashot Margaryan and Morten E. Allentoft from Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
“In other words, we could not detect any changes to the female gene pool over this very long time frame. This is highly interesting because this region has experienced multiple cultural shifts over the same time period, but these changes do not appear to have had a genetic impact—at least not on the female population.”
The researchers were interested to study this part of the world because of its position as a cultural crossroads since ancient times. It’s also known as an important area for the potential origin and spread of Indo-European languages.
The study reads:
This result suggests that there were no major genetic shifts in the mtDNA gene pool in South Caucasus across the last 7,800 years.
We find that the lowest genetic distance in this dataset is between modern Armenians and the ancient individuals, as also reflected in both network analyses and discriminant analysis of principal components.
Armenians from various regions including Erzrum, Ararat and Artsakh showed closest affinity with the ancient inhabitants of the Armenian Highlands.
It is clear that the modern Armenian groups and the ancient group display obvious similarities.

This new book caught my eye in the shops, had a quick leaf through the pages and was pleased so along with some others bought it. Whilst I waited for my train I decided to read the foreword and lo and behold the author is bemoaning white privilege in the natural literature of our isles and goes further to warn of the ‘fascist’ undertones at play when discussing nature. Earlier in the introduction he admits that whilst he didn’t wish to ‘positively discriminate’ he did omit fine male works to make way for female writers.
These are the sort of muppets who are the mainstream caretakers of our tangible culture at least in its consumption by the masses. This goes for our history, folklore, art, music, wildlife -presented to much of the public through a filter so that people don’t get any ‘wrong’ ideas. Yes, British and Irish nature writing is ‘white’ -always was and always will be. The hordes of third world service workers crammed into our cities will never have a spiritual connection to our land.

Germanic Religious Law? The Norse underworld was home to a particular realm, known as Náströnd ("Corpse Shore"), which represented an aspect of the underworld ("Hel") in which dwelt adulterers, murderers and those guilty of breaking oaths. The functions of this are described in the Prose & Poetic Eddas:
That hall is woven of serpents’ spines. She saw there wading onerous streams men perjured and wolfish murderers and the one who seduces another’s close-trusted wife.
Völuspá 38 – 39
On Náströnd is a great hall of evil, and its doors face to the north: it is all woven of serpent-backs like a wattle-house; and all the snake-heads turn into the house and blow venom, so that along the hall run rivers of venom; and they who have broken oaths, and murderers, wade those rivers...
Gylfaginning 52
The reservation of what was essentially the darkest corner of hell for certain crimes indicates that these were thought of as the most heinous in ancient Norse society.

Apparently the far right groups like to identify themselves with the crusaders, because in their minds they are righteous western Christians fighting against the Muslim Jihad invaders. It’s not that simple. Due to generations of programming and false history, many western people believe that they should identify with Christian western civilisation, and therefore in their mind with Crusaders. If this is what you choose for yourself, then that is your business, but I want to unravel the truth. I want to take this thing way way back in history, to the time before the birth of Western Christian Civilization, to the time of the old world order, to the time of pagan ethnic tribes and kingdoms like the pagan Slavic nations, the Nordic pagan nations, pagan Celts, pagan Greeks, Iberian pagans, etc… I want to know how they were destroyed and by whom, and how exactly did Christian religion gained its immense power and become the most powerful religion on earth, with the most amount of followers around the world.
