I was watching this while eating my homemade mushroom stuffed pelimeni (Russian dumplings.) Traditionally, pelimeni are stuffed with ground meat, but I make mine with minced mushroom, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and fresh herbs. Russians do have a larger size dumpling called Vareniki that they usually stuff with potatoes, cheese, or cherries.

Before Europe began to travel the world and colonize Asia, The Americas, etc. The symbol of wildness and "Savageness" was the Wildman or Woodwose, a person covered in fur/hair from head to toe. However, after traveling around and finding most of the "Savage" races of man were relatively hairless in comparison a new appreciation of European hairiness entered the culture. Woodwose's became a common heraldic symbol, a new romanticism entered their mythology, and beards became a point of racial pride for Europeans and Beard Clubs and Competitions arose as a way of celebrating the hirsute and burly masculine beauty of the Hyperborean peoples, taking pride in being hairy like the wildman in comparison to the other races. -TLK

Englisc plant-lore

This unusual and exotic looking plant is called the Houseleek and was known to our ancestors as ðunorwyrt or thunder−wort. As the name suggests it is sacred to Thunor. The German name Donnersoart translates into English as Thunderbeard. The plant often grows on roofs were it is said to protect the building from lightning strikes!
Jenever is a traditional alcoholic drink in the Netherlands and Flanders. This drink comes in different types and qualities ranging from fairly neutral to almost whisky-like. Jenever is based on grain, malt and barley flavoured with the juniperberrie and lots of herbs This is part of my heritage, because many of my ancestors, including my father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, worked in the jeneverindustry or in related industries. So 'Proost' (=cheers), folks🙂!
The Green Man is anchored deep in the European mind. Depictions of the Green Man go back almost 2000 years. What is very interesting is that the Green Man is also connected with the Goddess of the Northsea, Nehalennia. I included a photo of Him on a Nehalennia altar. Recently i visited a former fishermanstown and also there i seen buildings decorated with Green Men depictions. Again this connection with the Northsea and the Green Man🤔.... Seems like i need to do some shamanic journeying and contemplating😄. (The pictures are from the website of Abe de Verteller https://www.abedeverteller.nl/de-groene-man/ )
