We are creators of culture, builders of civilizations, and the essence of beauty
As part of our heritage & culture, I urge you to go out, find that which makes us great, and celebrate our folk. It’s more inexpensive than you might think and every city has orchestras, operas, museums, historical markers, etc. Although it’s disappearing, our folk is fast forgetting, but our past is still here; embrace and experience who we are and where we come from.

Return - Part 1
May we return to a simpler time and reignite our sense of traditional, strength of morals, sparks of creativity, and immeasurable prosperity. Sometimes progress isn’t good and life, in its basic and primitive form, is happiness.

Return - Part 2
A simpler time calls to us. To a time of tradition. Where our kinfolk, united in a shared moral foundation, strengthen each other as we live our lives together; each doing his or her own part for the betterment of the whole. Unrestrained progress destroys like a poison and sickens life. In its basic and primitive form, a natural life is a happy and healthy life. May we return to innocence and find joy in the moment, relishing the blessings that we have.

A Folcsida Symbol of Life & Death
The Anglo-Saxons associated Éar with death, as seen on the Rune Poem: “Éar is horrible to every knight, when the corpse quickly begins to cool & is laid in the bosom of the dark earth”. Éar (cf. ON Aurr) is also the waters of Wyrd’s Spring, where upon death, we go to the Helþing. The word Soul, traces back to PGmc & PIE times & carries, in part, a meaning of Sea & the ancient belief of sacred lakes being inhabited by the dead and the unborn. These are the waters of life, nourishing the roots of Eormensýl and giving life anew. The cycle of birth, life, death, & rebirth is all encompassed in Éar - both life and death. Before we’re born, from the waters of creation, our fate is drawn. Éar gives us life, & upon death, to Éar we return.

I would recommend to anyone looking to the Norsemen for ethnic faith spirituality, to look to your own heritage and your own people’s gods and heroes.
You will resonate with them more closely due to the blood memory running through your veins.
Their stories are your stories because of your heritage and you are their child by blood.

I cannot emphasize the above points enough.
I was always interested in ancient European history and mythologies.
The Iliad, Odyssey and everything about the Celts, the Romans, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, all these were parts of my life since childhood.
But one thing always had a special place in my heart.
I remember when I was around 9 years old I was Tyr, hunting the Fenris Wolf through the snow covered woods surrounding our village.
I was writing my name and other words in Runes, having found a list of them in an old book I found in a shelf at home.
I was Arminius, Siegfried.
In my late teens, early 20s, I found out about the Eddas and other writings.
This was before the Internet was common, mind you, in the 80s and early 90s.
I remember in my early teens my cousin told me about a book he found, about a battle at Hastings, when the Normans invaded England and the Anglo-Saxons fought and got defeated. We totally rooted for the Anglo-Saxons.
One had to find a book, and before you could look for a book, you had to know it exists. There was no online search engine.
I had to go out of my way to find books or articles covering topics related to the Germanic tribes and mythology, except for the few books we had at home.
It was part due to the influence of my paternal Grandparents, born in 1914 and 1919, but also something deeper that drew me towards these stories beyond the interest and fascination of these other great European heroes and mythologies.
These tales gave me goosebumps in a positive way.
At school this part of our German history was all but omitted. We learned about the Stone Age, ancient Greeks, the Celts / Gauls, Rome. From Rome it went directly to Charlemagne, with a brief mention of the Goths in Italy, and of course Attila.
We learned about the classical Greek gods, the Roman gods. But no word of Donar, Wotan, Fria.
Today I know it was my blood calling that drew me towards my ancestral heritage more than any other.
It was Carolyn Emerick that first made me aware of this fact, that there is indeed a blood memory in each of us and your ancestors are actually talking to you through it.

The world may tell you that strength is not necessary to become a man, but I tell you that is a lie.
Sources? Look to wildlife.
The alpha does not worry about the fledgling who yelps in jealousy of position, for the alpha welcomes the challenge and thrives when opposed.
Masculine men hold other men in high regard who are efficient at protecting the tribe, because more capable men means opportunity for the clan to thrive and grow.
Without strength, masculinity becomes hollow and empty, much like the soul it is supposed to inhabit.
It ceases to be.
