We can take back our various names and titles, but we need a solid footing and foundation before we can. For now we use this ancient title, marking us as who we are the people of the Northwoods., The people of the Northern Dawn, The Spirits of the Wood, The Brothers and Sisters of the Bear, The Forest Folk, The Wild Folk, the Barbarians, the Gods among men, we are many many things, but in the end we are simply Our People, we only must bother with a name whilst dealing with those who are not us. Stay Strong, Stay Proud, Stay Wise, Stay Courageous we will rise out of this dark age, and see the Sun in all its glory once More. Hail the Ancestors, Hail the Gods, Hail our tribes, Hail those yet to come.
"All medieval literature, whether it be 'Chansons de geste' or the Arthurian Romances, both saturated with the Celtic spirituality, invariably explore the theme of the forest: a perilous world, refuge of spirits and fairies, hermits and dissidents, but also the place where the tormented soul of the knight, whether his name is Lancelot, Percival,or Ywain, is purified. I feel that very strongly. To me, going into the forest is far more than just a physical need, it is a spiritual necessity"

In the Baltic tale of the Forest Father, a telling from Estonia, the Forest-Father can be seen as having characteristics of Tom Bombadil, from J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece “The Lord of the Rings” series.
Interestingly enough, the inspiration for Tom Bombadil’s character came from the Finnish epic, the Kalevala, in which the demigod Väinämöinen takes an important role.

Apples are an important fruit in Hyperborean Spirituality. The Hesperides, Nymphs of the Sunset care for the Golden Apples which are guarded by a dragon. In England The Apple Tree Man is the Spirit that resides in the Oldest Apple Tree and if he is met on Christmas Eve will show where gold is buried. Idunna, The Orchard Goddess of the North is often depicted with the Apples of Youth, though it is possible it may be another fruit. Frau Holle a German goddess often gives out magical gifts hidden in apples, and the souls of newborns grow from An Apple "tree of life" in her otherworld realm. In America the Apple maintained its importance being part of Apple Bobbing traditions on Halloween, and in the figure of Johnny Appleseed, a real life frontiersman who became the Spirit of the Apple Orchard and Frontier in American folklore, with a rosy colored Cloudy Sky being known as an "Apple Blossom Sky" as Ole Johnny continued planting in the sky after death, as his work was never done.-TLK

“But you have there the myth of the essential white America. All the other stuff, the love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.”

Today and Tomorrow are National Johnny Appleseed Day. Happy Johnny Appleseed Day.
Johnny Appleseed is a hero of American Folklore. While often depicted in modern media as spindly and pacifistic, he was most certainly not. Described as being as strong as Paul Bunyan, and even interacting with the Legendary Lumberjack when he helped heal Babe when the Ox was ill. He roamed across the wilds planting Apple Trees (mostly Cider) earning him the nickname The American Dionysus. Johnny would've been fierce to behold, a shaggy beard and wooly body of immense strength, wise piercing eyes staring out from below his shaggy hair and tin pot hat. He communed with spirits and did superhuman feats such as walking across flame and ice barefoot. He was said to have a spirit bride and be a friend to the animals with a wolf as companion. His Holidays are around the two Equinoxes which coincide with his birth and death. He effectively fulfills a Hermit Wildman/Green Man Archetype within American Folklore. After his death he continued to plant trees both in spirit and in careful planting.-TLK
