Many of us see the value in ancient languages. Whether it be Old Norse, Classical Latin, Ancient Greek, Old English, or one of the other ancient languages, they have incredible value for reading our sacred texts in their original languages, and also we can aide the support of a core element of our culture, our languages. Keep all our various languages alive from Russia to Ireland.
The vast majority of us want to (or already) have children. Now, how can we combine these things? We can learn ourselves and teach our children one or many of these sacred languages. I’ve been told a great approach is a simple ‘one parent per language’ approach, where one parent speaks language A to the child, and the other speaks language B. This creates a non-confusing way for the child to learn both simultaneously, and they won’t give either up as they need both to speak to their parents.
Start learning a new language today, or if you already speak two (or more) languages - and have infant(s), teach them both. Children are all talented language-learners, do not miss this opportunity!

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.

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.

Grímnismál Stanza 37 (Old Norse)
37. Árvakr ok Alsviðr þeir skulu upp heðan
svangir sól draga;
en und þeira bógum fálu blíð regin,
æsir, ísarnkol.
Bellows Translation:
37. Arvak and Alsvith | up shall drag
Weary the weight of the sun;
But an iron cool | have the kindly gods
Of yore set under their yokes.
Gylfaginning XI (Prose Edda)
But the gods were incensed at that insolence, and took the brother and sister, and set them up in the heavens; they caused Sun to drive those horses that drew the chariot of the sun, which the gods had fashioned, for the world's illumination, from that glowing stuff which flew out of Múspellheim.

What we see here is a continuity of cosmology of almost 3,000 years. The Poetic Edda contains Divine and ancient wisdom and should be treated with intense study.

The full Lunar Cycle article complied in one post.
This article answers the questions of who Njörðr, Freyr and Bragi are in terms of Indo-European comparativism (also discussing numerous others), who their Irish and Welsh parallels are, who the Grail quester Perceval is, and what the significance of his quest is.
Furthermore, it shows that the “Aesir-Vanir War” appears in some form in nearly every branch, and lays out clearly its details in several of the branches.
In all, these are essential things to understand about the European gods for everyone who studies them. Understanding these things correctly is of the utmost consequence to our understanding of both the sacred liquid and the sacrifice itself.
