I’ve already shared these old links before. I’m only resharing them again for people who didn’t get a chance to learn about this, and are interested to do so. Many of the skeletal remains of these ancient female warriors were discovered by archaeologists in my place of birth Rostov-on-Don, a home of Don Cossacks. This makes me question the official history of Slavic Cossacks, and their origins

These earrings have a story to tell. Unfortunately, we don't know most of it. They were most likely made in Constantinople around 600 CE, perhaps as an imperial gift to a Visigothic ruler of medieval Spain, where they were found in Extremadura. The Visigoths by that point had become the settled rulers of the Iberian Peninsula, and had established trade and diplomatic contacts with the Byzantine Empire. And its known that the Visigoths particularly prized Byzantine jewelry. @GreekLeague

Titania and Oberon are the fairy king and queen known to pop culture, similar to Puck they too have roots in the folklore before Shakespeare popularized them. Though unlike Puck it is less blatant. Titania is often thought to have her name derived from Diana, who became the fairy queen and a witch goddess in European folklore. With the name being contorted with time and translation by the time of Shakespeare. Oberon however is often thought to come from French folklore and originated from the dwarf/elf Alberich most well known from Wagner's operas though he originated in folklore long before than. Both these origins are generally accepted though there are obvious holes a more clear origin has yet to emerge in my research. - TLK

Todays new Tribe of the Fox video is less serious than usual, it is more a fun exercise in brain gymnastics. Why? We are going to look at the Hindu chakra's and see what Norse deity connects with what chakra. This is a video response on a video from the YT channel 'Norse magic and beliefs'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOGxUTEChp0

The life of ancient man had two focal points: this life (tämänpuoleinen), or the profane / mundane, and the hereafter (tuonpuoleinen), or the sacral / holy. In his dwelling, man was relatively close to the mundane focal point. When giving an offering at an anthropomorphic sacred rock, he was close to the sacral focal point. In the forest or on water, he was somewhere in between.
In Sparta as in Athens administrative bodies and officials had also judicial powers and duties. The two kings, the five ephors, and a council of twenty-eight elders constituted the criminal court. The ephors were the presiding officers. The elders were recruited from the nobility; the ephors from the whole people.

Their aim is to control by fear. If we are not afraid, they have no control.

Disarm them. Take back the power. Be fearless.

More information comes to light that what Abrahamists call “demonic” and Scientismists call “superstitious woo woo” is in reality a multifaceted and in-depth modus of thinking and sensing the world.

More evidence that I was again 100% right in my criticism of both the cult of Scientism and Abrahamic mindsets which attack our indigenous ways of viewing the world. I knew this was important and I followed through with it.

I ask no one to trust and blindly follow me. I ask everyone to develop better discernment about whom they are giving their trust to and to strengthen your trust in YOURSELF.

Developing folk culture centered divination tools seemed a bit frivolous to some of my detractors and it was different than the serious research material I did previously. But I had to do it for myself and feedback from countless of people shows me I’ve made priceless items for the few who have and use them.

This is an important short discussion just scratching the surface on how the (((agenda))) is to dumb us down and limit our ability to see what they are doing by stopping our extra modi of thought.
