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.

''Old Slavs lived in villages, sometimes quite large, inhabited by whole tribal groups; hence such villages were often given names that end in ići, -ovići, -ovci. The economic unit was the patriarchal large family or large family community, which was called house (kuća) or a cooperative unit (zadruga) amongst the Southern Slavs. This is how Engels characterizes this Slavic family community: "... the patriarchal home community, as we still find it today with Serbs and Bulgarians under the name of a cooperative unit (zadruga) or fraternity (bratstvo) ... constituted a transitional stage between the matriarchal family and the individual family of the modern world.

The South Slavic cooperative unit provides the best living example of such a family community. It encompasses several generations, descendants of one father, with their wives, all living together in one court, cultivating their fields together, feeding and dressing of the common stock and sharing the excess of income. The cooperative unit is under the supreme authority of the host, who represents it outside ... He is selected and by no means the oldest. " Old Slavic settlements consisted of such large family communities. This is also evidenced by the statement of Pseudo-Mauritius that in the ancient settlements, some semi-underground dwellings are connected by secret corridors, thus representing the whole complexes of rooms united by a common household. Large family communities united into tribes, with tribal leaders (filars, as the Byzantine writers call them) at the head. But the power of these leaders was not great, the national assemblies (councils) were of great importance. The first embryos of slavery were still patriarchal. Pseudo-Mauritius thus characterizes slavery in the old Slavs. »They do not keep their captives in captivity indefinitely, like other nations, but, by limiting their time, leave them to choose: either they want to return to their homeland with some ransom, or to remain where they are in the position of free men and friends «.The patriarchy of the lives of Slavs and Ants is evidenced by the hospitality, which is widely developed in them. »They are kind and kind to the guests, and follow them from place to place, where they are needed, so that if the carelessness of a host causes the guest to suffer any harm, his neighbor, who handed him the guest, will quarrel against him. considering the guest's revenge for a holy duty.

Lepontic Script
Language and alphabets associated with the Cisalpine (modern day southern Switzerland/northern Italy) La Tène culture (~500-100 B.C.). Inscriptions are found mainly centered around the Swiss city of Lugano.
While there is some debate, it is generally regarded to be a Celtic language and script. Only about 140 inscriptions are known at this time, which limits the ability of researchers to decipher this language.
Of note to researchers is the similarity of many of the Lepontic characters to the later Germanic Elder Futhark runes. In addition, Lepontic may be an adaptation from Rhaetic, a pre-Indo-European lagnguage extending from western Austria to eastern Switzerland.

Rosa camuna
A relatively common petroglyph found in the Val Camonica region of northern Italy, often (but not always) found stylized as a Swastika.
The exact dating of this symbol is difficult to determine, as the region is rich in petroglyphs dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, however the symbol is often associated with the Iron Age, and thus, the Camunni people.
Although these people are mentioned in the Greek annals, their origin is unknown. There are some surviving inscriptions but the corpus is insufficient to class these people as Old European or Indo-European speakers. Nevertheless, the Swastika-like nature of this symbol commonly used by these people tells us much of the very ancient origin of the Swastika and its various permutations, and how this relates to the various tribes of north Eurasia.

Rosa camuna continued
The Rosa camuna, while commonly associated with the Val Camunica region, is not limited to there.
1.) The original Swastika Stone of West Yorkshire, UK. Its exact age is unknown, possibly Neolithic but most likely Iron Age construction
2.) Guifões Stone of Portugal. Some researchers believe this was imported from Val Camunica, although this is based solely on its similarity, and could have been made de novo.
3.) Celtic (Gaulish) coin found in northern France, circa 1st century B.C.
There is also a number of examples of this swastika found in churches in England, including the so-called Woden’s swastika in the Sutton church in Bedforshire. In addition, an example of this symbol found among the Bohuslän rock carvings of Sweden, although an original image can not be found at this time. But this would link this symbol to the Nordic Bronze Age civilization.

I am very excited to announce that I'm in the process of completing and publishing my very first book!😄 It will be covering a topic I've been discussing for over a year and have spent many months researching. Our fairytales are more than just bedtime stories, they are ethnic myths as old as time itself. This book will be about the beloved fairytale of Sleeping Beauty and how it functions as the myth of our spring and dawn goddess Ostara.🌹🌄
From the symbolism of the thorns and Thurisaz rune, to the significance of spinning figures and fates, forgotten heathen traditions of spring, and the tale's resemblance to the saga of Siegfried and Brunhilde, this book will be a deep dive into the heathen nature of one of Europe's most famed fairytales. I hope to have it out by Easter, but in the mean time if you'd like to consider supporting me on patreon and receive an advanced copy of the book, the link is below! I'll be sharing lots of previews on Telegram as well! Skal!

The ultimate origin of the Vedic deity Indra is uncertain. In the Lithuanian language, which bears striking similarity to Vedic Sanskrit, the planet Jupiter is simply "Jupiteris"; the deified Goddess symbolised by Jupiter, however, is named Indraja. This would require a linguist's eye to be certain of an etymological connection but, combining a cursory morphological analysis with mythological evidence, it is overwhelmingly likely that both Indraja and the Vedic storm deity Indra share an etymological root that has a Proto-Indo-European basis.

The European Elder Tree (species: Sambucus nigra, from the family Adoxaceae) holds a prominent place in native folklore.
In pre-Christian times, Indo-European peoples utilised the properties of the Elder Tree for medicinal and spiritual purposes, and thus they held it in reverence.
In the British Isles, it was customary to tip one's hat towards the Elder Tree as a mark of respect, and specifically in England & Scandinavia, those taking from the tree must ask permission from the Elder Mother (Danish: Hyldemoer) to use its materials.
"Old girl, give me some of thy wood and I will give thee some of mine when I grow into a tree" — typical recitation in England & Scandinavia.
