Hunger Stones are another genius technique used in some Czech and German rivers.
These stones mark low river levels that would forecast famines.
This one, in the Elbe river, is from 1616 and says: "If you see me, cry".

Seaxnēat is the national god of the Anglo-Saxon people of Britain.

His name 'Seaxnēat' is attested in the genealogies of the kings of Essex as well as the Old Saxon Baptismal Vow. His name means 'Sword Companion', consisting of the word 'Seax' (sword/knife) and '-nēat' (companion).

Huckleberry time here in the Pacific northwest. The weather the last 2 years have made berries harder to find but I found about 1/2 a gallon this morning . We will go again next week. My family have picked huckleberries for several generations. For us it is definitely a tradition.

Queen Maeve's cairn, Ireland. Built around 3,500 BC, never been excavated, despite being rich in pagan "mythology." Why? What is in there? I think our true history is hidden in plain sight. So little attention paid to anything pre-christian in Ireland which is done to prevent the natives from finding the connection between their blood and the soil that they walk on.

Raven mythology shows considerable homogeneity throughout the whole area [northern regions of the northern hemisphere] in spite of differences in detail. The Raven peeps forth from the mists of time and the thickets of mythology, as a bird of slaughter, a storm bird, a sun and fire bird, a messenger, an oracular figure and a craftsman or culture hero.

- Edward A. Armstrong, "The Folklore of Birds," 1958

Your anxiety would go away if you were self-sufficient:

Learn to farm;
Find a water source near you;
Camp in the woods;
Learn to fish;
Learn to hunt;
Learn to trap;
Cook outside;

After learning these skills you will realise that everything will be ok even if you lose your job.
