Daily Salute to the Sun
A simple personal discipline of remembering the Eternal Sun three times daily. The purpose of this prayer is to develop personal spiritual responsibility and to infuse daily life with a remembrance of the Light.
To be said to the Sun in the Morning:
"Hail to thee, the Eternal Spiritual Sun, whose visible Symbol rises now in the Heavens. Hail unto thee from the Abodes of Morning."
To be said to the mid-day Sun:
"Hail to thee, Eternal Spiritual Sun, whose visible Symbol stands at the height of the Heavens. Hail unto thee from the Abodes of Noontime."
To be said to the setting Sun:
"Hail to thee, Eternal Spiritual Sun, whose visible Symbol sets now in the Heavens. Hail unto thee from the Abodes of Evening."

Sent to me by a friend, interesting to think about at the least. I personally won't adopt something like this however.

IAZYGES
Taken from Wikipedia:
The Iazyges were an ancient Sarmatian tribe that traveled westward in c. 200 BC from Central Asia to the steppes of what is now Ukraine. In c. 44 BC, they moved into modern-day Hungary and Serbia near the Dacian steppe between the Danube and Tisza rivers, where they adopted a semi-sedentary lifestyle.
In their early relationship with Rome, the Iazyges were used as a buffer state between the Romans and the Dacians; this relationship later developed into one of overlord and client state, with the Iazyges being nominally sovereign subjects of Rome. Throughout this relationship, the Iazyges carried out raids on Roman land, which often caused punitive expeditions to be made against them.

In their early relationship with Rome, the Iazyges were used as a buffer state between the Romans and the Dacians; this relationship later developed into one of overlord and client state, with the Iazyges being nominally sovereign subjects of Rome. Throughout this relationship, the Iazyges carried out raids on Roman land, which often caused punitive expeditions to be made against them.
Almost all of the major events of the Iazyges, such as the two Dacian Wars—in both of which the Iazyges fought, assisting Rome in subjugating the Dacians in the first war and conquering them in the second—are connected with war. Another such war is the Marcomannic War that occurred between 169 and 175, in which the Iazyges fought against Rome but were defeated by Marcus Aurelius and had severe penalties imposed on them.
Although the Iazyges were nomads before their migration to the Tisza plain, they became semi-sedentary once there, and lived in towns, although they migrated between these towns to allow their cattle to graze. Their language was a dialect of Old Iranian, which was quite different from most of the other Sarmatian dialects of Old Iranian. According to the Roman writer Gaius Valerius Flaccus, when an Iazyx became too old to fight in battle, they were killed by their sons or, according to Roman geographer Pomponius Mela, threw themselves from a rock.
The graves made by the Iazyges were often rectangular or circular, although some were ovoid, hexagonal, or even octagonal. They were flat and were grouped like burials in modern cemeteries. Most of the graves' access openings face south, southeast, or southwest. The access openings are between 0.6 metres (2 ft 0 in) and 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) wide. The graves themselves are between 5 m (16 ft) and 13 m (43 ft) in diameter.
After their migration to the Tisza plain, the Iazyges were in serious poverty. This is reflected in the poor furnishings found at burial sites, which are often filled with clay vessels, beads, and sometimes brooches. Iron daggers and swords were very rarely found in the burial site. Their brooches and arm-rings were of the La Tène type, showing the Dacians had a distinct influence on the Iazyges. Later tombs showed an increase in material wealth; tombs of the 2nd to early 4th century had weapons in them 86% of the time and armor in them 5% of the time. Iazygian tombs along the Roman border show a strong Roman influence.
The Iazyges used hanging, asymmetrical, barrel-shaped pots that had uneven weight distribution. The rope used to hang the pot was wrapped around the edges of the side collar; it is believed the rope was tied tightly to the pot, allowing it to spin in circles. Due to the spinning motion, there are several theories about the pot's uses. It is believed the small hanging pots were used to ferment alcohol using the seeds of touch-me-not balsam (Impatiens noli-tangere), and larger hanging pots were used to churn butter and make cheese. The Iazyges were cattle breeders; they required salt to preserve their meat but there were no salt mines within their territory. According to Cassius Dio, the Iazyges received grain from the Romans.
The Iazyges wore heavy armor, such as Sugarloaf helms, and scale armor made of iron, bronze, horn, or horse hoof, which was sown onto a leather gown so the scales would partially overlap. They used long, two-handed lances called Contus; they wielded these from horses, which they barded. Their military was exclusively cavalry. They are believed to have used saddle blankets on their horses. Although it was originally Gaulic, it is believed the Iazyges used the Carnyx, a trumpet-like wind instrument.
One of the Iazygian towns, Bormanon, is believed to have had hot springs because settlement names starting with "Borm" were commonly used among European tribes to denote that the location had hot springs, which held religious importance for many Celtic tribes. It is not known, however, whether the religious significance of the hot springs was passed on to the Iazyges with the concept itself. The Iazyges used horse-tails in their religious rituals.

I have recently made a change to the way I make my sacrifices. I used to make my sacrifices well groomed and dressed, whereas now I mainly do so with messy hair, smelling of sweat and with wet clothes. Now, this change in and of itself is not something I would recommend, but the reason for it is.
Before we get into that however, we first have to talk about what makes a sacrifice important.
Why do we sacrifice what we sacrifice? Usually it is an alcoholic substance or milk or something like that. Why? Because it has value. However, its value is mainly material. Furthermore, in the modern day obtaining and losing such substances is not all that difficult or significant anymore. This in effect means our sacrifices diminish in meaning.
How can we then add more value to them?
My logic used to be that dressing well and taking care to look presentable would do this. However, when you think about it, how much effort does it take? Take a shower, put on some good clothes and comb your hair, done. Does that really add value?
Then one day I was compelled to do the opposite. I would set myself up with a challenge, getting from point A where I was to point B, and then make the sacrifice. I would make sure I would exhaust myself completely during this trip, putting in as much effort as I could. By adding this time and effort, I would add value to the ritual.
Then, a few days back, I did the same but after not having eaten for a day. In this way I sacrificed a little bit of my own comfort and added its value to my ritual.
You can get creative with this and set whatever challenge you think would really challenge you in particular. That can be physical, like climbing a mountain or running/hiking a long distance, or mental, like not eating or exposing yourself to the cold without much protection for an extended period of time. The more it challenges you the more value it has and the better it is.
I would like to wish you good luck with your sacrifices and I hope you really push yourselves.

The Germanic word(s) for "king" are unique among Indo-European languages. Whilst most IE words for king can be sourced to the Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵs (see: Latin rēx, Sanskrit राजन् [rā́jan], Irish Rí), the etymology of "king" (German König, Danish Konge, Old English Cyning) is different; it comes from Proto-Germanic *kuningaz, composed of the words *kunją + *ingaz, lit. "someone of the family". This suggests something took place uniquely within early Germanic society that altered their conception of kingship, the nature of which is evident by the fact that their words for it are cognate with "kin" or "kinship", "family" and "clan" — all ultimately from PIE *ǵenh₁-, "to beget, give birth". Contrast this with the connotations of rēx, such as "ruler", "royal" and "mighty". Germanic kings draw their legitimacy "from the people" as kin, rather than from above as ruler.
Lugh Samildánach
It is my belief, based on their correspondence to the “Mitra” archetype, that Numa Pompilius is the Roman legendary figure matching Irish Lugh. Numa was associated with all the arts as he divided the immediate territory of Rome into pagi and established the traditional occupational guilds of Rome:
"So, distinguishing the whole people by the several arts and trades, he formed the companies of musicians, goldsmiths, carpenters, dyers, shoemakers, skinners, braziers, and potters; and all other handicraftsmen he composed and reduced into a single company, appointing every one their proper courts, councils, and observances." -Plutarch
This is as close a match to Lugh’s title of “Samildánach” (skilled in many arts) as I’ve found. This aspect of Lugh is one of the reasons he was sometimes considered similar to Mercury.
Notably, the Roman and Irish similarity on this makes sense as they shared a recent cultural history via their Italo-Celtic root.

A truly fantastic animated version of the myths from the Welsh Mabinogion. All 4 branches are here, starring “The Americans” actor Matthew Rhys. Wonderful for teaching the myths to children or learning them yourselves, and even includes a wholesome message against premarital sex at the end.
