(Family) Honor
With honor, kinsmen are personally represented. Honor forms a mirror, which retains the images of those it has reflected. There stand all the kinsmen, in their finest array and with their finest weapons, and the more costly their armor, the more precious is the honor. There are all the happenings within the family as far back as man's memory can reach; all great deeds, all costly entertainments, every magnificent piece of hospitality —- they stand there, and demand their rights. There too, everything degrading will appear, and woe to him who shall look therein without finding relief for the eye in mighty deeds of restitution. “Woe,” said the Swedish peasants, “to the race that sees one of its own buried without the churchyard wall.” This was the greatest misfortune that could fall upon a house; even when the dead man lay buried outside in unhallowed soil on account of his sins, his kinsmen would not rest until they had bought him a place within the churchyard. And this not alone, or even principally, out of regard to his future rest in peace, but in order not to hand down a shame to posterity. Thus the peasants of the North, even in late centuries, felt kin-shame as an intolerable burden, a thing that had to be lived through again day after day.

Honor
Honor is so far from being something indeterminate; it can be reckoned felt. Honor is the property of the family, its influence; it is the history of the race, composed of actual traditions from the nearest generations and of legends of the forefathers.

Fathers, mothers, husbands, and wives, are you giving similar advice to your children and spouses? We are of noble stock; be the example they look to.

“As women, we have a great responsibility to conduct ourselves and adorn our body in a way that will not cause a brother to stumble. And it’s a simple fact that the more skin a person (male or female) sees, the more easily their thoughts can stray towards those thoughts which are sexual in nature. Some people have more self-control over it than others, but a lot of people don’t have much control over it at all. In fact, it’s even something that is encouraged in today’s society to think sexually towards others” - Sarah Sarniak

Honor
The ancestors fill the living; their history is not sensed as a series of events following one on the heels of another; all history lay unfolded in its breadth as a present Now, so that all that had once happened was happening again and again. Every kinsman felt himself as living all that one of his kin had once lived into the world, and he did not merely feel himself as possessing the deeds of old, he renewed them actually in his own doings. Any interference with what had been acquired and handed down, such as raiding and robbery of cattle or property, had to be met with vengeance, because a field of the picture of honor was crushed by the blow. But an openly expressed doubt as to whether that old grandfather really had done what he was said to have done, is just as fatal to life, because it tears something out of his living kin; the taunt touches not only the dead man of old, but still more him who now lives through the former's achievements. The insult is a cut into the man himself, it tears a piece out of his brain, making a hole which is gradually filled with ideas of madness

Honor (Family)
Spiritual life is dependent upon certain ideas. Good breeding is a family treasure, marked from youth, stamped by traditions, determined by environment, and consequently not easily changed.

Forwarded from The Winlandish Folk (Hundwyn, of the Redland)
Consider the folk songs of your people as holy hymns to your race. Learn these. Learn these and sing these, not as an academic practice, but as an act of worship and communion to those who gave you life and the lands where you dwell. Cross the veil of time with elder’s songs, sing as they did. Ask your parents or grandparents what songs they sang as they worked or gathered, and do likewise. Living folk tradition! Feel free to skip the church hymns, or repurpose the melodies. Reaching back across time with songs is a little bit of ġealdor any of us can do. Search libraries and antique shops for songbooks, there are many! If the melodies are lost, write your own! Many have the same tunes. This is all very doable, never believe all is lost. Dust off the old and toss out the hip, I’m sure your Eldfathers and Eldmothers will appreciate it. This can be a part of anyone’s hearth-cult. All it takes is a little focus. In time, I’m sure our people will write plenty of new hymns and folksongs, rooted in the old, ethnic, and local.

HOME ON THE RANGE (MY WESTERN HOME) - ORIGINAL 1874 LYRICS - Tom Roush
Dr. Brewster Higley, an otolaryngologist, wrote the lyrics to this song in 1873 soon after arriving in Kansas. His brother in law, a fiddler, later put the words to music.As you will hear, the original chorus was different from today's versions.
