Tattoos belong to the Pagans. Shown here is the Siberian Ice Maiden, Princess of Ukok 5th century BC.
There is an Islamic account of norsemen having tattoos as well.
Various other pre-Abrahamic cultures have evidence as well.
The Bible is against tattoos:
Leviticus 19 : 28 KJV
28. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

💬 "This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one's will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select.
War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god."

Trailer for the new Hellboy film looks promising. Set in 1950's Appalachia. Script co written by Mike Mignola and inspired by the Appalachian horror stories of Manly Wade Wellman. Looks low budget, gritty and grim. This IS the Hellboy I wanted.

The magic spell in Twin Peaks which defines the series reminds me of Norse pagan practices. It goes:
“Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chants out between two worlds, fire walk with me!”
The spell is connected to the "red lodge" in which agent Cooper is able to convene with the dead and with supernatural entities - it is a liminal space like a waiting room.
Compare it to Hervararkviða in which Hervǫr summons her dead father from his grave in a ritual during which it is said:
Hnigin er helgrind, haugar opnast
"The Gate of the World of Death is lowered, barrows open,"
Then Hervǫr finds herself:
Heima í millum "between the worlds".
David Lynch specifically states that his ideas come to him from a realm he calls the "unified field" - whatever he thinks this realm is, it is clearly the same place that our ancestors skilled in necromancy went to convene with the dead. They chanted out (galdr) between two worlds.

There's a lot of people very interested in constructing and learning how to play ancient folk instruments.
Lyres, harpas, lutes etc.
And we absolutely should because they were beautiful and part of a history we need to reconnect to.
But we are not rootless. We have our own folk instrument. And it may be the greatest folk instrument ever created.
It is the son of the lute. But it combines the innovations of our time.
It was used to create all of the sounds that we associate with our identity today. A sound that people around the world fell in love with and emulate.
A sound we invented and continue to evolve. A single instrument that fills the room in a way that entire ensembles had to in the past.
If I brought back an ancient ancestor and asked him to teach me how to play the lyre. He would point to my guitar and say "if you teach me how to play that lute that makes thunder."
The electric guitar is our folk instrument.
