Keeping it in the Family

Our gods are not yahweh figures that embrace all people regardless of their ethnic and cultural background.

While they do encompass some the more compassionate qualities that we as Hyperboreans also display, they do not welcome all people, nor should they.

Thats what a tribe should do, viewing those outside the family with a skeptical eye, as history has shown us a very effective way to erase a people is to infiltrate from within.

When you seek to follow gods and cultural norms outside your own historical ties, then you further remove yourself from your heathen heritage and birthright.

Keep it close to home Hyperborean, your soul will resonate with the spirituality of your ancestors and gain the favor of familial gods.

I don't do much commentary on this channel as it's not about me. Tonight I'm sharing a bit of family history...be it old family history. On my mother's side I am descended from Irish men, Scotts, English and Scandinavians. Sihtric was a great grandfather as was Olaf from the isle of Mann. Enjoy this historical piece and think about your ancestors and all their triumphs and defeats. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/7jYy-0z5sLg

HOLY.
SMOKING.
COW.

Someone’s saying it:

Thread from David Bowles:

I’ll let you in on a secret. I have a doctorate in education, but the field’s basically just a 100 years old. We don’t really know what we’re doing. Our scholarly understanding of how learning happens is like astronomy 2000 years ago.

Most classroom practice is astrology.

Before the late 19th century, no human society had ever attempted to formally educate the entire populace. It was either aristocracy, meritocracy, or a blend. And always male.

We’re still smack-dab in the middle of the largest experiment on children ever done.

Most teachers perpetuate the “banking” model (Freire) used on them by their teachers, who likewise inherited it from theirs, etc.

Thus the elite “Lyceum” style of instruction continues even though it’s ineffectual with most kids.

What’s worse, the key strategies we’ve discovered, driven by cognitive science & child psychology, are quite regularly dismissed by pencil-pushing, test-driven administrators. Much like Trump ignores science, the majority of principals & superintendents I’ve known flout research.

Some definitions.

Banking model --> kids are like piggy banks: empty till you fill them with knowledge that you're the expert in.

Lyceum --> originally Aristotle's school, where the sons of land-owning citizens learned through lectures and research.

Things we (scholars) DO know:

-Homework doesn't really help, especially younger kids.
-Students don't learn a thing from testing. Most teachers don't either (it's supposed to help them tweak instruction, but that rarely happens).
-Spending too much time on weak subjects HURTS.

Do you want kids to learn? Here's something we've discovered.

Kids learn things that matter to them, either because the knowledge and skills are "cool," or because ...

... they give the kids tools to liberate themselves and their communities.

Maintaining the status quo? Nope.

Kids are acutely aware of injustice and by nature rebellious against the systems of authority that keep autonomy away from them.

If you're perpetuating those systems, teachers, you've already freaking lost.

They won't be learning much from you.

Except what not to become.

Sure, you can wear them down.

That's what happened to most of you, isn't it?

You saw the hideous flaw in the world and wanted to heal it. But year after numbing year, they made you learn their dogma by rote.

And now many of you are breaking the souls of children, too.

For what?

It's all smoke and mirrors. All the carefully crafted objectives, units and exams.

WE.

DON'T.

KNOW.

HOW.

PEOPLE.

LEARN.

We barely understand the physical mechanisms behind MEMORY.

But we DO know kids aren't empty piggy banks.

They are BRIMMING with thought.

The last and most disgusting reality? The thing I hear in classroom after freaking classroom?

Education is all about capitalism.

"You need to learn these skills to get a good job."

To be a good laborer. To help the wealthy generate more wealth, while you get scraps.

THAT is why modern education is a failure.

Its basic premise is monstrous.

"Why should I learn to read, Dr. Bowles?"

Because reading is magical. It makes life worth living. And being able to read, you can decode the strategies of your oppressors & stop them w/ their own words

If you want to connect with your ancestors, naturespirits and deities you need a focussed mind. The Tribe of the Fox talked about several methodes in previous video's. However we have not talked about 'galdr' yet. Galdr is the use of you voice in heathen or pagan spiritual practice. Is it difficult to do galdr? No, not at all! The Tribe of the Fox explains using your voice in heathen spiritual practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGgqexaAmNo
An animistic world view means that you can consider everything, trees, plants, stones, rivers and lakes as animated and alive. As a result, everything in nature is approached with respect.

This worldview was very obvious for our ancestors. They lived along seas and in vast forests, sharing the land with countless natural beings. For us Europeans, this worldview still exists. It is important to have a good relationship with natural beings, because they have a major influence on fertility and your environment.

There is a term that should be brought forth, if it hasnt already. That is, "the new facism". This is not aboot "right", or "left". In fact the two have, in recent days, mostly switched sides, definitions, and ideology. The left continues to use the word to bash the right, but in reality,.. the actual definition of facism.."extremely authoritarian, intolerant, or oppressive ideas or behavior"....... has the "pot, calling the kettle, black".. as the saying goes. One may take heed of what they follow,... the outcome, may not be good.
------- There has been a lot of censorship, in recent days, and the manipulation,, of information. The blaring of falsitys, supression, of truth. It is, indeed, the truth, that will set us free.. and those who try to hide it.. hmmmm well its easy to see their agenda ! Dont be fooled ! It is no longer possible to "trust" the powers that be. Not that we ever could, but its more evident these days. Do your homework, listen to all sides. "Debunk".. is not just deny, deny,deny. It is facts, research, people with high credentials, who are above coersion, and threats to their "comfortable nest ".. ja. The story, noo.. after that, is a whole different thing. Not what we wanted to hear, but.. its better to know the truth... or anyway, the best version of it. Then, we can make up our own mind, and, in taking responsiblity for that/those decisions, chart a course for our own lives. In the courts of opinion, we are the judge. Thats the way it should be.
"vars þú böl kannt,
kveð þú þér bölvi at
ok gef-at þínum fjándum frið."
(Speak out against evil, wherever you find it, and give no truce, nor treaty, to foes ). Havamal.
