The Great Lunar Cycle: The Horse Twins and the Grail: Part 1 of 12
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-great-lunar-cycle-horse-twins-and.html?m=1
The framework of the Grail myth needs no other source than the existing Indo-European mythology. The Aesir-Vanir War is the same myth as the Grail myth, and traces of the same myth exist across Europe and into India. Perceval is Freyr. Njörðr is revealed to be a moon god. The Grail myth has significantly more direct Germanic influence than previously suspected. Follow along with our new series and see for yourself.
“...following the trail of connections across Europe, it will be shown that the Holy Grail legend and the Aesir-Vanir War are, in fact, one and the same myth.”

Værløse Fibula
Artifact found in a grave in Denmark, dated to roughly 200-600 AD.
The runic inscription, in Elder Futhark, transliterates to “Alugod” or “Alu God” (ᚨᛚᚢᚷᛟᛞ), and ends with a great example of a Germanic Migration Era swastika.
The meaning of Alugod is debated. Generally “god” is taken to mean “good” (from Proto-Germanic *gōdaz), although it is also very possible it means “god” (from Proto-Germanic *gudą). “Alu”, on the other hand, is thought to simply mean “ale”. However, given that ᚨᛚᚢ is by far the most common word found in Elder Futhark inscriptions, and it is often found on seemingly religious artifacts and associated with depictions of deities, suggests this word had a much deeper esoteric religious meaning.

The Great Lunar Cycle: The Horse Twins and the Grail: Part 2 of 12
https://taliesinsmap.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-great-lunar-cycle-horse-twins-and_6.html?m=1
Part 2: An Irish-Vedic parallel: Midir and Chyavana as the moon god Soma, friend and rival of the Horse Twins.
“The Chyavana story in Vedic myth goes back at least to the hymns of the Rig Veda, and is told as well in the Mahabharata and the Brahmanas, and can only be described as an extremely central myth of the deities known as the Horse Twins.”

Canterbury Charm
A small prayer or blessing to the god Thor, written in runic and inserted into the margin of a manuscript from Canterbury, England in the year 1073.
The text in the image above, translated in MacLeod and Mees’ seminal book Runic Amulets and Magic Objects (2006), is a rare example of a preserved pagan prayer. The motif “Thorr vigi” is preserved in other objects and runestones, including the Nordendorf fibula from the continent (“Vigi Thonar”).
May hallowed Thor bless us all!

Part 3: The Norse Cycle: Iðunn and Thjazi.
“The story of Iðunn and the golden apples, which begins the events that lead up to the Aesir-Vanir war, shares the identical main theme of the Chyavana tale: the matter of renewing the youth of the gods when they begin to grow old. For the Norse, this important function is performed by the golden apples, tended by Iðunn. In the Vedic version, this same function is performed by the special herbal paste...”

The prime principle then in man’s constitution is the social. And the second is not to yield to the persuasions of the body, for it is the peculiar office of the rational and intelligent motion to circumscribe itself, and to never be overpowered either by the motion of the senses or of the appetites, for both are animal; but the intelligent motion claims superiority and does not permit itself to be overpowered by the others. And with good reason, for it is formed by nature to use all of them. The third thing in the rational constitution is freedom from error and from deception. Let them the ruling principle holding fast to these things go straight on, and it has what is its own.
Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time; and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed to thee.
⁃ Marcus Aurelius, Book Seven, Meditations

The Acrobat
The acrobat is a motif from Germanic Europe during the Bronze Age (Nordic Bronze Age, 1500-500 BCE).
The motif is commonly observed along side a pair of horned twins, perhaps tying into the Divine Twins myths found throughout the Indo-European world. Pictured here is the acrobat as a surviving piece of the Grevensvænge hoard, found in Zealand, Denmark. Additional pictures are of the acrobat along with paired horned figures found in rock carvings from around the same time, in Sweden.
It is my opinion these represent a lost portion of the myth, still largely preserved as the Dioscuri of Greece, and possibly the Alcis later mentioned by Tacitus.

Part 4: Njörðr and Soma: Njörðr as Moon God.
“endless associations of the Vedic Soma to both wealth and waters can be found by a brief perusal of book 9 of the Rig Veda...”
“the moon governs the seas and the rains, and all fertility is its gift...The moon was seen as an agricultural god, a source of vegetative powers, rains, and the wealth they bring, just as Njörðr is most prominently known to be god of the sea and of wealth.”

Just wanted to forward this post, having personally read this, I can say it’s certainly a thought provoking work and worth your time.
The book is succinct, clear, and provides very interesting connections between archeology, folklore, and myth. It paints a more complete vision of the Dawn Goddess, one of high renown to myself personally.
