Honoring your ancestors
I spent the last weekend back in my home town, visiting family. However, I made it a point to carve out a couple of hours to visit the local cemetery many of my ancestors are buried in.
What stood out to me were all the graves with decorations, mementos, plants, etc. It had been a while since I had been there, so I forgot about this practice. What also stood out to me were all the graves that had nothing there. When was the last time these were visited?
We as a people have holidays associated with remembering the dead, honoring them and leaving meals out for them. Examples include the Celtic Samhain and the Lithuanian Vėlinės. But don’t let these be the only times you honor them. If you have the opportunity, visit their grave stones. Even if you have nothing to offer them at the time, just let them know they are still honored in this world. Let them know we still think about them. Even if they were before your time, and you never met them, let them know they are still remembered here. You carry on their legacy: to you their torch was passed.
And make sure their stone or grave site is well maintained. Too many graves I saw neglected, poorly maintained, covered in grass or obscured by weeds. It is up to us to keep their stones, not groundskeepers.

The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas I of Sparta, and the Achaemenid Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece. It took place simultaneously with the naval battle at Artemisium, in August or September 480 BC, at the narrow coastal pass of Thermopylae. The Persian invasion was a delayed response to the defeat of the first Persian invasion of Greece, which had been ended by the Athenian victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. By 480 BC Xerxes had amassed a massive army and navy, and set out to conquer all of Greece. The Athenian politician and general Themistocles had proposed that the allied Greeks block the advance of the Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae, and simultaneously block the Persian navy at the Straits of Artemisium. Pictured here is the actual battle site from 480BCE

"Arise!" By HIS Disciple, Written in AH 131'
Arise, O Noble Land,
And commit thyself to Holy War!
Take rifle and spear in hand
And honor the oath that you swore!
Where are your saints, o glorious Folk?
Where is Theodoric? Where is Siegfried?
Arise, honored Race, cast off the foreign yoke
And set fire to the corrupted weeds!
Arise, O Noble Land,
And stand loyally and true
Against the Legions of the Damned
And greet the new-dawn of blue!
Where are your heroes, o honored Aryans?
Where is Hitler? Where is Eggers?
Arise, fearsome fighters, as the sky darkens
And struggle greater than ever
Arise, O Noble Land,
And slaughter the evil foe
And send out the firebrands
And stomp out the last of the shadows
Where are you, great God-Man?
Where are you, Mother of the Race?
Arise, Aryans, and from the world
The demons we shall erase!

Practitioners is the right word. Practicing Aryans, Practicing Germans, Practicing Scots, Practicing Swedes, etc.
The word faith doesn’t need to be used much. It’s practice. The practice of our traditions, the practice of honoring our ancestors, the practice of magic, the practice of having children and raising a family, the practice of survival and expansion of our people, the practice of gathering resources for the tribe, the practice of protecting nature, the practice of attaining glory.

A note from our user Bart:
I recently doubted paganism for a while, because I saw cringe in the myths, and considered the practicality of having a church everywhere. I started to like the aesthetics of Ave Maria and the idea of peace and society. I then took a walk in the woods, which changed my mind a little. I felt the naturalness of paganism. It's a cringe term but we know what it means. You don't really have intuitive practice in Christianity. Things people believe from birth aren't present in Christianity, but things that people have trouble believing, are. The European implementation of Christianity is pleasant, but I believe that it's the European part of it that makes this so.
Entering a church in Northern Europe imitates the feeling of a good piece of nature. It doesn't have the same effect though. Standing on a mountain staring down at the glory of creation is clearly superior to staring at a cross while mumbling to a Jew who's supposed to save you from the horrors of creation.
The old Germanic (and I imagine other European) ways of life are superior to modern society. As Tacitus describes, they lived in separate houses with land around it. From his description, it must have looked very cozy. You sometimes see the evolution of those Germanic houses into the medieval times and it looks very warm. They built it near places they deemed beautiful. Compare this to the rows of crammed concrete houses in industrial wastelands or cities. This is not good. The old Germanic way is preserved in rich neighborhoods here in the Netherlands, employing similar roofs and beautiful space around the house in a forest like environment or near the coast or both. That is the ideal.
Finally, things I believed to be cool and epic as a child, like reincarnation, spirits, talking to the dead, burial mounds, epic stories, heroes, Gods and stuff are present in paganism. Every intuitive belief or feeling has a place in it, and it is completely logical. You don't need a scholastic movement to try to cope.

Find strength through your gods.

A blessing I wrote in Old English, both in Anglo-Frisian Futhorc and Latin script, and translated in modern English. Some words had to be reconstructed. I recommend these sorts of practices to better connect yourself to our ancestors and their language, as well as to understand the genesis of our modern languages.
