"So one day among others
one morrow among many
he cast his eyes north-west, turned
his head to below the sun
spied a black speck on the sea
something bluish on the waves
'In the east is that a cloud
the sunrise in the north-east?'

In the east it was no cloud
no sunrise in the north-east
it was old Väinämöinen
the everlasting singer
heading for Northland
making for Darkland
astride the stallion of straw
astride the horse of pea stalks.
Now, that young Joukahainen
the lean Lappish lad
prepared the fiery crossbow
grabbed the fairest bow
meant for Väinämöinen's head
to slay him of Calm Waters."

The Heroes of the Iliad as Indo-European Gods: A Mythological Rosetta Stone

Part 9 of 9: Sarpedon and Conclusion

Is this the TRUE MEANING OF THE ILIAD, or merely an extremely elaborate mirage? You be the judge.

“This is a very rough proposed outline (not attempted from this angle before, to my knowledge) of what current Iliad scholars refer to as a Faktenkanon, or standard list of events, that theoretically existed in the tradition of the epic poets, and that formed the underlying framework of the epic as it spread...”

“The Spear of the Eternal Law of the cycle cannot be stopped by any shield or stone, but goes through them like paper.”

Ullr and Bres: Identifying the Germanic Sun God

https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/05/ullr-and-bres.html?m=1


Building from the understanding of the mythological pattern of the Iliad opens new paths of speculation on who the Germanic sun god may be.

Discuss who YOU think Ullr is in our chat (see post above).

A very recent study takes a look at the Pre-Indo-European peoples of Europe.

For background, there were 2 distinct groups of people in Europe before the spread of Indo-European speakers from the Steppes: Hunter-Gatherers, and Neolithic Farmers from Anatolia.

The study looked at ancient skeletons from Europe to get a better idea of how much these 2 groups interacted and mixed. What they found was a high degree of mixture in France, which was not as prominent in other parts of Europe.

This may seem like a relatively simple and benign finding, but there is a lot that is unknown about these people and thus any information about them is valuable. These are the people that built Stonehenge, Newgrange, and the dolmens across Europe. We know little of their culture and religion. And we all carry some of them as ancestors. So take a minute to read about them.

Its a much needed white pill to see all the profiles turning white as i go through the notifications.

Indeed it is. Solidarity is such a powerful thing, we must stand with our people.

"There was a lass, an air-girl
a nice nature-daughter: she
long remained holy
for ever girlish
in the air's long yards
in the empty wastes.
So now she steps further down
launched herself upon the waves
on the clear high seas
upon the open expanse."
