🌕 Harvest Blót and Harvest Feast in Scandinavia. The tradition is often celebrated now in the beginning of August and stands for the first big harvest. A lot of grain is harvested at the end of July and beginning of August, and this is often taken as a starting point for when the Harvest Blot/Harvest Feast will be held. At the Harvest Blót several gods is honored: Tor (thunder god and protector of the fields), Siv (who presides over the ripening of the grains) and Frey, the god of honor.

🌕 The tradition is also called Late Summer Blót - a pagan tradition that usually are celebrated by Scandinavians near the Autumnal Equinox together with the Autumn Blót. That's because here in the North the harvest usually occurs later in the season.

🌕 Today, 12th of August it's full moon and the full moon is celebrated as the "Harvest Moon" in many other cultures. The moon is larger in autumn and stands closer to the horizon at a lower angle in our parts of the Northern hemisphere. The moon slows down as it reaches the outer edge of it's elliptical orbit and is then experienced by our Earth's atmosphere as larger than usual. The light of the moon also makes the harvesting easier since it's possible to work longer out in the fields. Be sure to keep an extra eye out for the moon today and this fall! 🌝

Our position has always been that Heathenry, as the ethnic religion of the Germanic people, has two sources: the written (“scriptural”) and the unwritten (“traditional”). One might say that Heathenry is both “reconstructionist” as well as “traditionalist” in that it includes not only attempts to study and incorporate ancient forms of attested pre-Christian worship, but to honor and uphold the living folk traditions of the Germanic people.

Christians think we have been christian for 1500 years when parts of Europe were only converted several hundred years ago. To this day what christians think of as christian values and culture is actually a holdover of our natural Ethnic culture and values. The majority of christendom is actually just our own ethnic values and culture absorbed into christianity. There is nothing wrong with our values as a people, there never was.. It's okay to return to your ancient Folk Faith🌿

The poetic Edda (this is separate from Snorri S.'s Prose Edda) consists of a collection of gods and heroes' songs and is sometimes referred to as the pagan bible. But in the pagan teaching there is no dogma, moreover the Edda is full of humor, ridicule and satire, which you will not find in any other religious book.

The gods were not worshiped because it was demanded, but only because the cosmic order thus remained unbroken. The various writers, called skalds, attributed human qualities to the gods, such as a languishing Freyr (No. 12) and the scandals about Loki (No. 11), the stories also provided popular entertainment. The question and answer conversations, laced with wisdom, reflect an ancient tradition, passed down in this way from generation to generation.

As we've established previously, Germanic spirituality — to include the underlying moral and ethical structure — is a continuum: not a single point in time. It existed before the advent of Christianity, it continued (as Germanized, medieval Christianity) through the era of Christendom, and it is now re-asserting itself in the post-Christian, modern era in the form of a renewed Heathenry.

What was the constant factor? Was it the official spirituality of the people, or the people themselves?

The answer is obvious.

Heathenry is the ethnic spirituality of the Germanic people. So long as we endure, our spirituality will endure.

Blessings to all! 🍺😇🙏

The lies about my people are now accepted by the masses as facts but I know deep within my heart we are not the monsters we are portrayed as.

I have traveled many places and saw the empathy of my people unmatched. I went to stay with tribes with my dances with wolves mentality to see some of the worst animal cruelty I had ever witnessed. I saw cage after cage of monkeys that had been stolen from the jungle on display. Some were very old and very traumatized and I sat next to them and even held their hands.

I also saw a lot of cruelty towards dogs on my travels and jokes from the locals about how we treat dogs like people. I also did see some people who loved their animals deeply so I am not trying to generalize everyone, as some of my own people can also be very cruel.

But it did become very apparent over the years that generally we seemed to have high levels of empathy. We are from societies that over time created the most human rights, animal rights. Despite how much we are blamed for slavery we were the first people to question it. And in general on my travels noticing how nearly all the charities I came across helping many causes around the world were nearly all of European origins.

Yes we come from warrior tribes and we have a fire which is nothing to be ashamed about, we also have a very sweet side that deeply loves nature and questions morality, and it is this that gets weaponized against us.

Hail the old gods 💪🏻🍻

This really should be retitled "New-Age" VS "Paganism". But hopefully the point still lands. Hope this comes in handy for anyone who needs it!
