Indigenous European pagan gods & goddesses have a basis in truth and reality. Unlike the monotheistic god of Abrahamic religions, who is unknowable, and who exists in some abstract, other realm, the pagan gods can be known by people in the here and now. From what I can tell, indigenous European pagan spirituality did focus some on the unseen/ spiritual realm, but mostly it focuses on this physical world. Christianity either avoids acknowledging the physical realm, or at talks negatively about the material world, and says that the physical world belongs to Satan. Christianity hyper focuses on the afterlife. It’s like a death cult, because their entire religion is focused around the death of Jesus.

Globalism is embraced by the worlds elite and by a lot of people and pushed upon the worlds population. However globalism is opposite to tribalism. What must it be like for young pagan guys to grow up in a world that is dominated by unhealthy globalism? In this video the Tribe of the Fox speaks some encouraging words to young pagan guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNivOjLGkUA

Artist Sergey Panasenko - The King of the Sea. Some claim this is a painting of a Slavic pagan sea God Wodan, Vodan, or Vothan based on Slavic/Russian word for water Woda/Voda. However, I personally was not aware that there was such a God. Of course I only started to learn the names of Slavic gods about 4-5 years ago, and so I still do not know the names of all of the gods in Slavic pagan pantheon. Still, if you try to look this up on the Internet, you will barely find any information on this in the English speaking sources. The only thing they do provide is a Slavic pagan water spirit name Vodanoy or Vodnik.

Traditional French summer solstice festivities are linked to Saint Jean (John the Baptist), celebrated on the 24th of June. Customs declined in the 20th century but are still alive in some places. Fires lit on the occasion may have their origin in bringing prosperous harvests.
Bonfires are lit, with dances sometimes going on all night long. Specifics depend on the area but it's customary to jump above the fire, especially for young people, the celebration being linked to youth and life.
There are references to ashes from the bonfires being used to enrich the soil. A charcoal taken from such a fire and placed inside the house is told to keep it safe from lightning and fire.
Certain flowers are picked on the 24th. John's wort is the typical plant associated with that feast but other plants with healing properties are gathered. They are said to be most potent when picked at this time when the sun shines the longest, and to keep their potency all year long. Bouquets are also left to dry and protect the house.

How do we find back to our roots?
Short clip of German ethno-botanist and author Wolf-Dieter Storl where he talks about the importance of ancestors and the influence of a specific environment on a culture or people.
When he talks about "forest people" he specifically means Teutonic, Celtic, Slavic and Baltic tribes, amongst others, regarding the northern hemisphere. He writes about that in his books.

Here is what I say to invoke the spirits I want to aid me in my rune draw. The first is for Elder Futhark runes, the second is for animistic animal wights and an animal divination set I’m excited to begin working with!
Remember, dogma is designed to stop you connecting and using your own intuitive agency. Do what feels right for you. You can let these words inspire you to come up with your own, you can use them as is if they feel right to you, or you can do something completely different! Your spiritual experience is your own!
Oakwise invocation to the Norns to invite their hand in Futhark divination:
Ladies who do weave my Wyrd,
standing at the Well of Urd,
look inside and please do see
what the future has in store for me.
And my invocation to animistic wights for an animal rune divination set:
Diana’s children, Eostre’s friends
in field and thicket, wood and fen,
of the ponds and tops of trees,
what message do you have for me?
