One of the crewmembers from U-209 wrote a shocking letter to his friend
I think they distort it by calling it “alien race.” Our perception of aliens is based on Hollywood version of aliens. Third Reich was either in contact with some ancient race that exists separately from our modern human civilization, or third Reich got a hold of powerful ancient knowledge, but we don’t know anything about it. Where they are I don’t know. Are they off planet? Are they inside of our hollow earth? Who knows, all I know is that it’s super fascinating.
I just finished reading article on the story. The article describes everything in great detail. The whole rescue mission took about two days.

Adult elephants were making a lot of noise, because they were in distress trying to save the youngest member of their tribe who was stuck in the mud hole.

Local villagers heard the cries of elephants, and came to see what was going on. When they saw the baby elephant trapped, they called rescue crew. When the rescue crew got there they realize that they need large machines and equipment to get that baby elephant out.

Finally the heavy machinery was delivered. In the middle of rescue mission the machine broke down, and the local mechanics had to fix it.

The whole time the elephant herd stood near by pacing back-and-forth. The local villagers spend the night on site, and there was food & water passed around.

People were helping the rescue crew dig with their own hands. It’s such a beautiful thing when humans find their empathy towards one another, and towards all living beings.

After two days the baby elephant was finally rescued. The baby rushed to its parents, and the entire herd of elephants greeted the rescued baby.

The most exciting thing happened at the end. After the baby was rescued many people didn’t leave right away.

They stood by watching as the elephant started to leave for the forest, but before crossing the river, the elephants turned to the humans, and raised their trunks in salute giving thanks to humans.

Reading this part brought tears to my eyes. These emotions that surface, the feeling of compassion, empathy, care, and respect for other living beings, for Mother Earth is what real love is.
Here’s that article on baby elephant rescue, but I am warning it is full of annoying advertisements.
I saw this video years back. It’s a old story about midwife, and her servant girl who fell in love with an elf/fairy, and had his baby.

The story involves a midwife and her servant girl who stayed out all night each time she had a day off. One day servant girl never returned back to midwife’s service. The midwife eventually forgot all about it, until one night she had a knock on her door. A strange young man invited her to assist with the birth of his child.

The young man took the midwife to a far away place where a cave was located. As they stood in front of the cave, the man put one of his hands on wall of cave, and a hidden door appeared. As they walk in, the midwife sees a rustic, primitive looking dwelling.

A young woman was laying on a makeshift bed made of straw and grass. She was in the pains of labor. Midwife helped her deliver her child. Midwife then realized that the girl giving birth was that same servant girl. She understood that this mysterious young man was who the servant girl was visiting each time she stayed out all night.

The father of baby asks midwife to put a special ointment on baby’s eyes. He tells the midwife that the baby needs this ointment so that he could see the world as it really is. The man told midwife that it was very important that she does not get any of the ointment on her own skin.

Midwife did put ointment in baby’s eyes, but she still had a trace of ointment upon her right hand, and by brushing away the hair from her face, she accidentally got some of the ointment on her right eye. As she did so, she could still see the same as before through her left eye, but with her right eye she saw the cave transform. Now as she looked with her right eye, she did not see a dirty primitive rustic-looking cave dwelling. The bare black cave walls were now covered with beautiful silks and satins.The makeshift bed made from straw and grass was a beautiful velvet couch. The girl was no longer dressed in rags, but in a beautiful, elegant dress. Both the girl and the man looked beautiful and wealthy. The midwife then realized that the servant girl became part of the faerie realm.

The man told the midwife it was time for her to go. Midwife thought she was only gone few hours, but when she got home, her husband was angry with her because she was gone an entire week.

One month later midwife and her husband were at a market looking for a new servant. Midwife happened to see that same faerie man from the cave. She looked up at him to ask him how his wife and baby were, but the faerie man made sure to keep himself invisible that day. The man smiled, and blew into her right eye, and suddenly he disappeared from sight.
I fell in love with Celtic mythology before I even started learning about my own Slavic pagan roots. Intuitively, I get the same feeling from all three cultures Celtic, Slavic, and Nordic. They feel like sister cultures to me.

All three cultures were nature people. They lived close to nature. Although they all had their own identity, they did share some things. For starters, each one of them consisted of a large majority of native white people. Other examples, were their attitude towards nature, care for the natural surroundings, kindred traditions, warrior spirit, symbolism, and more.

Check out Celtic goddess’s Morrigan’s prophecy at the end of this short video. It feels like she was describing the events taking place in our modern time, today

Officially, the academia shifts all myths & legends of any culture thousands of years back into the past. Academics say that these myths & legends were born thousands of years ago, but I personally don’t trust their dates.

I won’t get into the conspiracy of manipulators tampering with our history right now. I will focus on mythology/folklore. What I noticed as I was studying how folklore is presented to the public, is that the manipulators took the ancient history of various ethnic groups, and turned it into some fairytale myths & legends that have no basis in truth and reality.

In other words, they erased the genuine ancient history of various ethnic groups, and fabricated an entire different version of history for them, but because the fabricators of history could not possibly erase the living oral folklore tradition in form of stories, dances, songs, poetry, etc..., that still existed among the people, they turned it into fiction, fairytales, into something thats based on fantasy, and not on truth.

Moreover, for generations they’ve been drilling into us that we must view myths and legends as fiction, as fantasy and not real history. It seems that every culture has some fantastical, mysterious, abstract mythological time period, and no historians can clearly tell you what that means.

I know it’s not easy to make sense of mythology, but this is only because that long ago people communicated differently with one another. I’ve brought up an example of Shakespeare before. In order to properly read and understand Shakespeare today one has to take a special class to become educated on how to do so. Shakespeare lived during late 1500s and early 1600s, and already modern people can barely understand it. Can you imagine how different people communicated 1000 or 1500 years ago? Of course it’s not gonna make much sense to us today, and this is why we have to learn how to decode mythology, and other ancient chronicles and manuscripts.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find authentic mythology, not yet contaminated by church and other forces.
Mainstream history usually starts from one specific point, and it usually begins from the time when Christian forces come to civilize, and educate the ignorant, dirty, primitive pagans. Everything before Christianization of pagans official history paints as pagans living a very primitive life. History books say that prior to the coming of Christian forces who supposedly brought light to ignorant uncivilized pagans, the pagans lived in dirty, primitive dwellings, with no social order, no state system, education, etc...

This is the picture that the mainstream history paints for us about the past. They present the past to us as humans progressing, evolving from a primitive state to a more civilized state, and this was done with the help of Christian forces. We’re told that the pagans didn’t know how to read or write, they didn’t know anything before Christian forces came there and enlightened the uneducated primitive pagans.

Everything would be OK for history manipulators, if there was no massive living oral folklore tradition. The manipulators didn’t know what to do with it. It was easy enough for them to forge, tamper with, or destroy written documents, but what could they do with pagan folk traditions, tales, histories_that passed down orally from generation to generation? The living knowledge that still existed among the people who were still telling stories that passed down to them from their ancestors was made to look like fiction. It was not to be taken seriously. Same applied to any ancient chronicles that described histories that did not fit into the mainstream version of history. It too was turned into myths & legends, into fiction

In reality, authentic myths and legends are what remains of ancient history. These are the last traces of ancient history. This is one of the reasons why preserving indigenous cultures is vital. Because authentic myths and legends can only survive if indigenous ethnic cultures survive. This is our last source of truth, and connection to our ancestors.
I’ve been asked before if reality is all about free will or fate. My answer was, no one really knows for sure. This is one of those philosophical, deep questions. This question belongs to the category of subjective truths, because the answer to this question depends on personal beliefs & opinions of each individual. The answer to this question is not a single objective truth that’s universally accepted, and confirmed by science. So my answer to this question is my personal belief. I think that reality involves both fate & free-will. I believe that in some ways we are affected by fate, while in other situations we have the freedom to choose.

Official history claims that this Russian monastery was erected in the place were pagan Slavic Perun idol once stood, but Russian alternative researchers claim that this monastery was possibly originally dedicated to pagan Slavic God Perun. It’s hard to tell, because there’s not enough evidence yet
This is what’s written in front on monastery
