The Forces of Chaos - Part 2
The Eotenas are the enemies of the gods and man. The Higher powers are separated by tribal affiliations, just as we are. Allegiances are made and each are bound by that choice. One cannot simply honor the Eotenas because some of the gods are “Part Eoten”. Either we’re loyal to the gods or we’re not. Wóden, Hanwer, and Léod claim descent through both the god and eoten lines; however, when two opposing forces join, a choice will have to be made; one cannot serve two masters. Wóden is the Ealfæder & king of the Ésa. Hanwer, aligned with Wóden and fathered the Wanas. Léod, father of the Ylfas & Dweorgas (Dvergar), however, rebelled and aligned as the Eotenas. We either follow the gods or we do not. Honoring the Éotanas, such as Loga (Loki) or Goldwǽġe (Gullveig) is to declare oneself an enemy of the gods and man and won’t bode well for you at the Helþing. Rise up and take a stand. We cannot walk both paths. Declare your spiritual choice.

Book recommendation - The Elder Gods: The Otherworld of Early England by Stephen Pollington.
Stephen Pollington is probably the best known author on Anglo Saxon history and Old English, and for good reason. I endorse any of his books, but this one in particular, The Elder Gods, is a must read for all Anglo Saxon heathens.
Here, Pollington condenses an enormous amount of information in the space of around 450 pages and its very comprehensive, covering the gods, myth, burial customs, types of ritual, poetry, archaeology, folklore, the three functions, supernatural entities, art, magic, runes, etc. It discusses pretty much everything you need to know and I hold it as one of the most important books in my collection.

The Norse god Baldr is the same as the English god Bældæg "pyre day" and the latter refers to some kind of fire festival in Germanic cultures. The two names sound the same but they are not cognates, however other evidence proves they are the same god as I show here

The Anglo-Saxon god Bældæg is the Norse Baldr
A video about the Anglo-Saxon god Bældæg "pyre day". Bældæg is attested in Anglo-Saxon genealogies as the son of Woden. He is often argued to be the English equivalent of the Norse god Baldr who is Oð...

One of my favourite historical figures.
There's a lot of uncertainty and legend around Hereward the Wake, but we're told he was born into nobility in 1035 and held lands in Lincolnshire.
At 18 he was exiled by Edward the Confessor, where he travelled between Cornwall, Ireland and Flanders adventuring.
He returned to England in 1067 to find that his lands had been taken and his brother killed by the Normans. He took revenge, killing 15 men single handedly, and fled back to Flanders.
He returned again in 1070 to join the English rebellion centred in the fens around the Isle of Ely, becoming quite a nuisance to the Normans and was soon joined by Morcar, the former earl of Northrumbia.
In 1071 they made their final stand at the fortress on Ely where Morcar was captured but Hereward escaped.
The accounts vary about what happened next but I think it likely he fled abroad as an exile as so many other English nobles did, but his legend lived on, perhaps influencing other outlaw figures like Robin Hood.

We are creators of culture, builders of civilizations, and the essence of beauty
As part of our heritage & culture, I urge you to go out, find that which makes us great, and celebrate our folk. It’s more inexpensive than you might think and every city has orchestras, operas, museums, historical markers, etc. Although it’s disappearing, our folk is fast forgetting, but our past is still here; embrace and experience who we are and where we come from.

Return - Part 1
May we return to a simpler time and reignite our sense of traditional, strength of morals, sparks of creativity, and immeasurable prosperity. Sometimes progress isn’t good and life, in its basic and primitive form, is happiness.

Return - Part 2
A simpler time calls to us. To a time of tradition. Where our kinfolk, united in a shared moral foundation, strengthen each other as we live our lives together; each doing his or her own part for the betterment of the whole. Unrestrained progress destroys like a poison and sickens life. In its basic and primitive form, a natural life is a happy and healthy life. May we return to innocence and find joy in the moment, relishing the blessings that we have.

A Folcsida Symbol of Life & Death
The Anglo-Saxons associated Éar with death, as seen on the Rune Poem: “Éar is horrible to every knight, when the corpse quickly begins to cool & is laid in the bosom of the dark earth”. Éar (cf. ON Aurr) is also the waters of Wyrd’s Spring, where upon death, we go to the Helþing. The word Soul, traces back to PGmc & PIE times & carries, in part, a meaning of Sea & the ancient belief of sacred lakes being inhabited by the dead and the unborn. These are the waters of life, nourishing the roots of Eormensýl and giving life anew. The cycle of birth, life, death, & rebirth is all encompassed in Éar - both life and death. Before we’re born, from the waters of creation, our fate is drawn. Éar gives us life, & upon death, to Éar we return.
