Æfinrúnar: A Sedian Book of Rites and Prayers
An altar is sprinkled before a sacred tree. A song resounds through an inviolate grove. Husband and wife are bound in holy matrimony. The funeral pyre is solemnly lit. These are the rituals of an ancient culture, reconstructed after years of research. The religion of the ancient Norse has been resurrected after centuries of slumber, and now we properly rebuild its ceremonial tradition. By thoroughly examining every source on the topic, we have been able to develop a greater understanding of these practices and how we can use them today. By doing so, we reforge the link to the ancient past. Once severed from the Gods, we can now use their holy teachings, the Æfinrúnar, to once again invoke them to witness our rebirth. May their light shine upon us all.

As promised, I'm pleased to announce the launch of: https://fyrgen.com/
This will be the hub where links to my efforts and content can be found. The first weekly podcast episode is being planned and should appear within the next couple of weeks. The website will grow as my productivity grows, to include a link to merchandise fairly soon too.
For those who'd like to (and can afford to) throw a few £ my way, or some crypto, links and addresses for all of those can be found at the above website and anything given is greatly and humbly appreciated. Subscriber content will be at SubscribeStar, Patreon and Substack (with an exclusive 'The Secrets of ALU' document available and more bits and pieces to come), and Ko-fi, BuyMeACoffee and PayPal are there for casual tips/donations.
Thank you to everyone who gave me the nudge I needed to organise this.

Take the time to build real life. Devote yourself to relationship. Share love together. There is no greater feeling than that of growing old with someone.

These are images of various ethnic groups of indigenous white people. I’ve only included some, and not all, because there are just too many to list. The world needs to be reminded that just like there are Native Americans, and other native/indigenous peoples, there are also native Europeans. People of the world were brainwashed to view white people as being associated with Christian western civilization, but that’s a wrong way of identifying white ethnic groups. White ethnic groups are no less indigenous than any other indigenous people around the world. I think this awareness must be put out into the world

In Life & in Death, Honor those We Love
Flateyjarbók records that in times of grief, our forebears hung a mourning banner:
“The men sat drinking as long as they liked that night, and then went to bed ; but after they had left the hall Queen Thyri took down the hangings, and instead put up black and grey cloth until all was covered. She had done this because it was the custom in those days when tidings of grief came to do as she did."
The Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem:
ᛠ Éar is horrible to every knight,
when the corpse quickly begins to cool
and is laid in the bosom of the dark earth.
Prosperity declines, happiness passes away and covenants are broken.
The cycle of birth, life, death, rebirth. In life & in death, honor those we love.

The Yggdrasil Tree as Woden's Steed.
A common view is that the Yggdrasil is an Ash. This may be a very old word play as there are examples of the word 'Ash' being used as a name for horse. The (grand)son of Hengest was called Oeric. He used the noscript Oisc which was the same as Aesc, and means Ash. The names Hengest and Horsa (Stallion and Horse) were more likely war-noscripts and not real names, and it seems that Oeric (Ash) continued this tradition. The Horse gods of the Baltic lands are viewed as twins called the Ašvieniai, in Aryan-Hindu lore they are called the Ashwins. Both names derive from the word Ashva which means Horse. The word Ashva also cognates with the Germanic word Ehwaz (horse).
To some folk, the World Tree is seen as the Yew, however this can still means 'Horse'. The Anglo-Saxon word for horse was Eoh, whilst Ēoh meant Yew. Further to this the word 'yggia' comes from the root *igwja which means Yew-Tree. So it would seem regardless of whether the tree is an Ash or Yew - both can mean Horse.

Before everything in our society became inversed, anti-nature and anti-life, we used to have an inherent knowledge of the importance of natural order. This inherent knowledge and understanding would manifest itself in various ways.
During the medieval era, jousting tournaments were organized as entertainment and for knights to prove their might and valor. The winner would be honored with material prizes and glory. It was also customary for the most beautiful lady to reward the winner with a kiss. Sometimes the champion would even win the princess’ hand in marriage.
The winner of the tournament, thus having established himself as the alpha male would get the praise and approval of the highborn female beauty. In the same way nature singles out the strongest for survival, women are the living embodiment of natural selection. Males seek more than anything to prove themselves worthy to pass on their genes. The path of greatness and glory are the highest purpose of man, and only a handful are up to the challenge.

The "Niederdeutsche Hallenhaus" is the traditional farmhouse in much of northern Germany.
Until the end of the 19th century it was built in the traditional style.
The use as a residential and stable building and the look are the same as the houses of the Germans 2000 years ago.

The Decline of Tréow
The Germanic folk friendship structure had a code of brotherhood that bonded men & their leaders that ensured tréow on the battlefield
The Anglo-Saxon relationship between ruler and warrior is one of honor, friendship, & respect. Tréow requires the man swear an oath to defend his Lord to the death, while the lord provides him with protection, food, wealth, & weapons. Anglo-Saxon culture looked very poorly upon a person going against their own family (with oath-kin being as strong as blood-kin)
Béowulf demonstrates how Tréow began to die out in the Anglo-Saxon period. At the end of the poem, only Wigláf follows Béowulf into battle with the dragon. When Béowulf goes into various battles, there is a progression of the tréow dying out with the behavior of the warriors: 1. the warriors sleeping, 2. they stand on the bank waiting, and finally, 3. only Wigláf goes with him in the end.
