🌕 Blessed Álfablót 🌕
Today marks a special ancient day in Scandinavia, the second full moon before our Heathen Juól. Alvablot/Álfablót is an ancient tradition, we show our gratitude to the soil for the harvest we received and honoring our ancestors, those who are no longer with us. This is a private celebration for family and relatives. Remember, tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire 🔱

🔱 CAROLUS REX 🔱
Today, 30th of November we honor a great King here in Sweden: Carl XII - Carolus Rex. He kept the independence for Sweden and was much loved by his folk. With his great army, the Carolinians, he protected Sweden from three alliances attacking Sweden at the same time.
Carl XII was reigning King from 1697 to 1718, and when he was going to be crowned in year 1697, he didn't let a bishop from the church to do it. Carl XII took the crown by himself and placed it on his head: "Crowned by God, not by the church". 🇸🇪

Today we celebrate one of our most ancient traditions here in Scandinavia called Ljóssi - "Lucia". We celebrate for the light soon returning, for fertility and wealth. According to a pre-Christian Swedish tradition a chosen woman walked around with light in her hair and offered "lusse-bread" as a sign that we now moves towards brighter times. "A light from the shadow shall spring". Glad Lucia 🕯

The powerful scene of the death of Boromir in the L.O.T.R. Triology is truly a touching masterpiece. Remember the price of freedom 🔱
Aragorn:
"I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail."

Boromir:
"Our people. I would have followed you my brother. My Captain. My King.
