Down a winding pathway,
In a garden old,
Tripped a beauteous maiden,
But her heart was cold.

Came a prince to woo her,
SAID he loved her true;
Maiden said he didn’t,
So he ceased to woo.

Came a perfumed noble —
Dropping on one knee;
SAID his love was deeper,
Than the deepest sea.

But the winsome maiden,
Said his love was dead,
And the perfumed noble,
Accepted what she said.

Came a dashing Stranger,
Took her off by force:
Said he’d MAKE her love him,
And she did — of course.

I stumbled upon a discussion regarding Viking morality between my man Uberboyo and Varg. I decided to voice my thoughts:

"As much as it pains me to agree with Varg, he is correct here. I, too, have never encountered any credible source stating that the Vikings raped. Rape is not part of the Germanic reproductive strategy.

Also, the Vikings of the time were indeed highly educated in a wide variety of fields."

The Viking Age, coincidentally, began only 11 years after the Massacre of Verden in 782, where Charlemagne ordered the beheading of 4,500 Saxons for their resistance against the Franks during a thirty-year campaign to Christianize the Saxons—known as the Saxon Wars—who were allies to the Danes. This led to the Saxons losing their entire tribal leadership and were now governed by Frankish counts appointed by Charlemagne.

It would be rather naïve to believe that the Scandinavians did not see the spread of Christianity and its empires as a major threat, which could very well have been the instigator of their raiding endeavors. However, this perspective is often ignored and we're told that it was due to nothing but a desire for wealth rather than preemptive self-defense.

And, on top of that, the Viking Age did not end until Scandinavia was largely Christianized in 1066, due to conversions of—and by—their kings. Most notably Olaf I and Olaf II.

The Funeral of a Viking King
by Maximilian Haushofer

The Sacred Tree : AC Valhalla - Raphael Lacoste

I am the blood of old Scandinavia,
of house Ragnarsson.

I am the blood of old France,
of house Clovis.

I am a Viking.
I am a Frank.

I am free.

"There are wolves hiding in the gray flock; characters who still know what freedom is. This is a ruler's worst nightmare."

~Ernst Jünger

It's hard to see the best in a world which is trying it's best to bring out the worst in us.

From "On the Genealogy of Morality"
By Friedrich Nietzsche:

At the centre of all these noble races, we cannot fail to see the BLOND BEAST OF PREY, the magnificent blond beast avidly prowling round for spoil and victory.

This hidden centre needs release from time to time, the beast must out again, must return to the wild: - Roman, Arabian, Germanic, Japanese nobility, Homeric heroes, Scandinavian Vikings - in this requirement they are all alike.

It was the noble races which left the concept of 'barbarian' in their traces wherever they went; even their highest culture betrays the fact that they were conscious of this and indeed proud of it.

Be the light in the dark,
the warmth in the cold,
Gods and Ancestors be thine guide
for the Norns have weaved it so

WOLF TRIBES

"The ritual initiations in the Wolves brotherhood were passed from Dacia to the Germanic tribes through the Celts' Druids and through the Goths."

"Valhalla or Valhöll, in Norse mythology, was the "hall of the Valks", the wolf warriors, who live there blissfully under the leadership of the god Odin. Their feminine counterparts were the Valkyries also spelled Walkyries, Old Norse Valkyrja, the female wolf warriors, in Norse mythology."

"The Order of the Dragon was a branch of the "Wolves brotherhood" constituted by Slavic rulers and warlords and Sigismund of Luxemburg, the king of Hungary and emperor of the romano-germanic empire."

The wolf is not just that devouring force or predatory destructive force in our lives.

Metaphorically, it is also the fiercely protective force that makes us feel safe and guarded.

The wolf is not always the villain.

Sounds pretty... Until you think about it.
