Another interesting source I pulled from Facebook page Slavic Spirituality. It’s about Molfars

Molfars, also known as magicians, shamans, and healers among the Hutsul people of Western Ukraine, are known for their powerful work with the elements of nature, animals, and people. From ancient times, they’ve dwelled on the edges of remote villages and in the forests of the Carpathian Mountains. Connecting with nature and spirit deeply, Molfars lived quiet lives far from others.

In Dutch Folklore "Fro" is the son of Nerthus and was gifted Gullin the first boar, which was made by the dwarves out of gold. This boar Gullin along with Fro showed the people how to plow the fields and taught them agriculture, using Gullin's tusks as a plow. People eventually learned how to make a more efficient plow themselves, but the teachings of Fro and Gullin remain relevant to this day, Gullin would become the father of all Tusked animals including boars and walruses.-TLK

Archetypal characteristics of Thunar are preserved in the Grimm fairy tale ‘Strong Hans’. A youth with super-human strength fashions an iron club that he bludgeons his enemies with. His adventures, similar to that of Siegfried in the Nibelung, lead him to a cunning dwarf he must outsmart and rescue a princess held hostage in his lair. Guided by natural spirits, he uses the dwarf’s magic ring to escape the cave. Hans also meets two giants of similar might named Fir-twister and Rock-splitter whom he also slays after they betray him. Jacob Grimm relates this tale with the Edda poem Hymiskviða in which Thor sets out on a quest to find a cauldron and he wears it on his head. Strong Hans’ strength is so impressive that his frightened employer sends him away on errands to keep him busy. He takes a church bell and wears it as a cap. Other variants of the tale include that Hans gained his great strength from the nourishment of his mothers milk or that of a female animal, and even giant’s milk in some versions.

Folk would fashion rods out of hazelnut, birch, mistletoe, and many other plants for ritual purposes like fertility rites, cleansing the home, or warding against harm. Mistletoe was called Donnerbesen meaning “Thunder’s Broom” (and the church later changed this to teufelbesen ‘devil’s broom’). Grimm also states that another kenning for donnerbesen or donnerkraut was alpruthe (elf-rod) and the word alpgeschoss (elf-shot) was a kenning for the thunderbolt, showing a close relationship between the Gods and elves. At Yule, Father Christmas the jolly old elf, makes his visit riding a goat and sometimes he or one of St. Nicholas’ pagan “helpers” Ruprecht or Belsnickel carries a ‘life rod’ all similar in resemblance to Strong Hans or The Mighty Thunderer and his sacred weapon.

Become the strongman! Thunder’s spirit stir within our people!

Dirkje and me visited an ancient circulair rampart and a lake called the Uddelermeer. Both sites are loaded with ancestral history and are closely connected with the deity Donar/Thor. The Tribe of the Fox made some nice footage there and we speak about Donar/Thor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLQQDjlFpgM

I care for animals, and treat them with kindness and respect always. I love animals more than most modern day humans. I’m against those who mistreat, or abuse animals. Animals are innocent and pure beings. They don’t wage wars or pollute the earth. Any pollution from animals comes from domesticated animals, and it’s due to humans interfering with those animals, like factory farming for example. Wild, untamed animals do not violate the natural laws of nature.

Some fascinating but tragic history from WW2.

On the eve of the Second World War, the British government launched a propaganda campaign encouraging people have their pets killed after whipping up hysteria about it being the kindest thing to do once gas attacks and food shortages started.

In the first week of the war, over 750,000 cats and dogs were slaughtered in London alone. Zoos up and down the country had their animals executed, from polar bears to lions. Millions of animals had been killed across the UK leading to untold heartbreak, and then resentment towards the British government for convincing people that this sick policy was even necessary.

In contrast, Germany enjoyed the best animal rights laws in the world.

Goes into astrophysics and the tree of life. Our indigenous worldview and cosmology is the correct one. The Bible and NASA scientists are full of shit and deceit.

More about Nehalenia in this Tribe of the Fox video. This video is about what we know about Her from history. However it is still possible to connect with this noble lady of the Northsea. The friendly, generous and playful goddess Nehalennia is still here and still on our side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwmn0DLyGzA&t=2s

Reproduction of Athena Parthenos

Construction of the Parthenon began in 447 BC after the orders of the Athenian statesman Pericles. Construction was completed 15 years later. Athena Parthenos, the most renowned image of Athens, stood in the temple with the serpent of Erichthonius at her feet, the head of Medusa on her breast, and a pair of serpents around her waist.  The statue was over 37 feet tall (11.5 meters) and the gold weighed about 1,000 kg (2,400 lbs). The entrance to the main temple was through the east main door.

This replica, modeled after the original statue that once appeared in the former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, took eight years to complete, and is the largest piece of indoor sculpture in the Western World. @GreekLeague

Built in (possibly) 7th century AD, these stone framed windows have clear Indo-European iconography.

I’ve also come across information that says ancient people looked up at a very different sky than the one we see now. The book of Veles mentions the time of 3 moons.
