Frówe is Éastre
Outlined & discussed in the StJ interview with Angriff & Redbeard (linked below), Frówe is likely the Anglo-Saxon goddess Éastre. Although connecting any Germanic goddess to the Dawn is speculative, but when using comparative Indo-European mythological & historical studies, & delving into linguistics, connections become apparent & the scattered pieces of the puzzle begin to form a larger picture. A few of the many points mentioned include how Dawn goddesses are associated with gold, blonde hair, light, treasures, & tears. She is close family kin to the Horse Twins; although, to the Norse, she is the sister/daughter of the male pair, Nyord & Fréa. In the Lore, Frówe is accused of being sexually promiscuous & during Éostremonaþ, sexual mores are relaxed. Another name for Frówe is Mardöll, Shining Sea, which is seen as the dawn over the sea. *Note that Frówe’s necklace, Bringsingamen, was under the sea.

Forwarded from The Wardrobe 👑
“When the family shall no longer have a head, and the great foundation for the subordination of children in the mother's example is gone; when the mother shall have found another sphere than her home for her energies; when she shall have exchanged the sweet charities of domestic love and sympathy for the fierce passions of the hustings; when families shall be disrupted at the caprice of either party, and the children scattered as foundlings from their hearthstone, — it requires no wisdom to see that a race of sons will be reared nearer akin to devils than to men. In the hands of such a bastard progeny, without discipline, without homes, without a God, the last remains of social order will speedily perish, and society will be overwhelmed in savage anarchy.”

Henġest, Horsa, & Hwítmanu: A Gods’-Blessed Triad
In looking at Henġest, Horsa, & Rowena, the Divine Twin mythos, & Fréa, Nyord, & Frówe, we can see connections & parallels. Henġest & Horsa were likely of the Cult of Fréa. Rowena, possibly called Hwítmanu, was likely their sister, with the foreign Welsh writers not knowing her exact relation to the Horse Twin brothers, so reckoned her as a daughter. It’s plausible that Henġest, Horsa, & Hwítmanu, when sailing southward from Éotaland, brought with them the Cult of Nyord, Fréa, & Frówe. With the Norse dropping their names, in favor of their noscripts, the Anglo-Saxons retained their names, Seaxnéat & Éastre, with Nyord, like Horsa, taking on secondary roles, or even disappearing from record. Whether avatars of, or ones gifted, empowered, & inspired by the three gods, Henġest, Horsa, & Hwítmanu were fated for greatness; bringing their gods to another land & founding a nation that would spawn men who conquered the world.

With the (United States) Supreme Court’s recent overturning of the Roe vs. Wade decision (which gave the US federal government jurisdiction over abortions), it seems timely and appropriate to highlight what our ancient ancestors thought of the inter-related concepts of abortion and contraception:
Numerum liberorum finire aut quemquam ex adgnatis necare flagitium habetur, plusque ibi boni mores valent quam alibi bonae leges.
“To restrict the number of children or to kill any of their subsequent children is considered an outrage; Good morality is more effective there [in Germania] than good laws are elsewhere.”
—Tacitus, Germania 19

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 1
(The Folcsida Calendar)
Within Heathendom, as well as greater humanity, calendrical systems have been employed to keep an account of the passage of time. In the days of yore, our forebears followed the sun and moon, charting their paths across the skies and kept reckonings of their cyclical nature. Calendrical systems varied from tribe to tribe. Such reasonings behind the variants were to fit a specific locale, as our folk subsisted on farming & hunting and land varies from place to place. Other such variances boiled down to the varied traditions & customs a particular folk would observe. In short, there was no one-way to reckon time nor a universal time scheduled to observe holidays. Our folk were as flexible as they were independent. In the coming days, I’ll discuss this calendrical system, which in the spirit of transparency, the Folcsida Ġerímbóc is a modern creation, which includes the Norse, but is clearly & primarily Anglo-Saxon focused. It’s important to note however, that it’s construction & layout is entirely historically-based. Within Heathendom, for reasons that escape me, the Calendar is an issue of much debate, handwringing, & gnashing of teeth. In the spirit of friþ, I present this calendar as an option, nothing more, nothing less.

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 2
Our forebears observed two seasons, what we call the Missere Tída (Half-Year Seasons). Bede stated “The people split the year into two seasons, summer and winter. They called the month when winter began Wintirfyllith, by a name from winter and full moon, as winter is allotted the beginning of the same month from the full moon of the same month…” The first Winter month corresponds to late September & October. In adopting the accuracy of the Gregorian calendar, the Folcsida Ġerímbóc converts the lunar reckoning to solar. In keeping the first Winter as close to the original as possible, the date is shifted to the Hærfest Emnyht (Fall Equinox), which ranges from a few days to a couple weeks early. As with the evolution of two to four seasons in early Christian times & the English calendar riots of 1752, man has continually shifted & altered calendrical systems in the quest to bring accuracy & simplification; the Folcsida Ġerímbóc is no different.

Heritage
I can feel my heritage through shrouded mists of lore,
Feel ancestors blessing me from ancient days of yore,
I see dragonships grounding on skraelings distant shore
I hear the song of axe and berserkers’ frenzied roar…
All of time resides in me, pulses through my veins
And those who came before me live in me again,
The past does not repeat itself but neither does it die,
I have every warrior that ever was inside me and alive…
I am the proud, the valiant, the steadfast and the true
And as long as life is left in me, I’ll stand back to back with you,
Breast-dew runs like sea of red, with singing edge we fight,
The valkyries wait to take us home, the ravens gorge tonight…
Lose not your sense of heritage, neither lose the way
For countless lives were lived and lost so you might live today,
Honour right your ancestors, to your Gods pay tribute too
For all that is or ever was is now alive in you…

The Grail is many things to a man throughout his life:
It is his reputation, hard fought and well won.
It is his brotherhood, from which flows the wellspring of youth and honor.
It is his woman, earned through strong deed and right action.
It is her womb, and the seed that quickens it, and the life that springs forth and makes him live forever.
Hail the Sun, the Sword, and the Cup that holds the Blood of Heroes.

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 3
Whereas our forebears observed two seasons, summer and winter, late in the Anglo-Saxon period, after they were well-entrenched in Christendom, influence from Rome saw the emergence of the year quartered into seasons: hærfest, winter, lencten, & sumor. Recordings illustrate that the solar dates, or sunnlíċ Tælmearca were observed, albeit not in a religious sense, but in an agrarian function. Nevertheless, the Folcsida Ġerímbóc, while observing the native two-seasoned year, lists the quarter reckonings as a point of reference (if one chooses to follow this pattern of yearly division). Hærfest ran from August 7th to November 6th, Winter from November 7th to February 6th, Lencten from February 7th to May 8th & sumor from May 9th to August 6th (Bosworth-Toller, 1898). Interestingly, these are close to the astronomical midpoint reckonings, we know today as, August 7th, November 7th, February 3rd, & May 5th.

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 4
Timekeeping in Anglo-Saxon days utilized both the moonly and sunly cycles. At its heart, a calendar is simply a timekeeping system, and within the Folcsida Ġerímbóc, the sun’s path, being a relative constant, provides its mathematical foundational structure, hey our Anglo-Saxon forebears combined the sunly and moonly in the calculation of religious observance. The main sunnlíċ tælmearca, or sunly dates, are the Hærfest Emnyht (Fall Equinox), Winter Sunstede (Winter Solstice/Midwinter), Lencten Emnyht (Spring Equinox), & Sumor Sunstede (Summer Solstice/Midsummer).

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 5
As rural, agrarian folk, historically speaking, our forebears followed the path of the moon and used its phases as a time keeping tool. Now, whereas the sunly cycles keep the overall year, in the mundane aspects of our daily lives, the moon provides a more tangible system of organization. Like clockwork, approximately every two weeks, the moon enters one of four particular phases; it’s easy and simple to track. One can see this in the word fortnight, meaning 14-nights. As an easily recognizable heavenly body, the whole of the community can simply look into the skies and follow the moon’s path and know when a particular observance is scheduled (of course, while in conjunction with following the yearly seasons repeated in the sunly cycles). In the Folcsida Ġerímbóc, the moonly cycles are listed as a reference point; they are: the Níwe Móna (New Moon), Ǽrest Fiðerling (First Quarter), Mónaþfyllen (Full Moon), and Þridda Fiðerling (Third Quarter).

The Folcsida Ġerímbóc: Part 6
The Folcsida Ġerímbóc follows the traditional days of the week, sans Saturday, as this day is named after a foreign, Roman god Sáturnus, & therefore is replaced by Ingwine-Fréa. When Rome moved into the northlands, the Germanic folk utilized interpretatio germanica, the practice of replacing Roman names with Germanic names. A working theory is that Sáturnus replaced Ingwine-Fréa by means of romano interpretato (the reverse of Interpretatio germanica). Bede stated the English were the Ingvæones, the children of Ing, so why isn’t one of the days of the week named after him, considering that Wóden, Þunor, and Ingwine-Fréa are the holy trinity of gods? Sáturnus is a God of fertility, crops, & frith; same as Ingwine. After the forced conversion to Christianity, & the inability to remove the folk’s devotion to their founding god, the use of his name possibly became taboo, so the Romans may have changed Ingedæġ (Ing’s day) into diés Sáturní (Saturday).

I want to talk about inaction, in light of Survive the Jive's post...
Throughout my life, in whatever 'scene' I've been part of—whether it be the music scene or the heathen scene—I've encountered a certain type of person who is forever waiting for perfection before acting. Musicians who take 10 years to write an album, or years waiting for 'the perfect' singer/guitarist/drummer to form a band with. Or pagans who await the perfect group to worship and bond with. Or a 28 year old virgin who's waiting for a ready-made perfect woman to walk into his life before even considering a relationship.
One characteristic which usually unites these people is: an unearned sense of arrogance and superiority. They believe they're too musically gifted to play with inferiors; more knowledgeable or passionate about history, the runes or their folk to join forces with 'lesser' heathens'; too good looking to settle for anything less than a wheat-field dwelling trad virgin in waiting.
A true display of greatness is to take what's available to you and to build upon it. Waiting for perfect people to fall into your lap only demonstrates your inadequacies; Your absolute lack of imagination, your inability to work well with others, your stagnation, and your unjustified feeling of superiority.

Northern Europeans Invented the Wheel
More evidence supporting Northern Europe as the inventor of wheels and wheeled wagons.
It makes sense that expert woodworkers in heavily forested lands would develop this technology.
There is other evidence from this region dating to the same sort of time. Around 3400 BC.
This latest study suggests 3400 BC.
There is evidence from the Alpine region and also Pannonia dating to around 3300 BC.
The Sumerian sign for wagon does not appear until about 3200 BC.
The evidence so far then suggests then a spreading from Northern Europe across to the rest of the world.
