A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
This past week, I had the honor and privilege to lead a Miðsumar Blót to Njörðr.
I chose to hold the Blót on stretch of secluded coastline. As we began the Blót, high tide had finished rolling in, something that I didn't plan for, but worked out absolutely beautifully.
As we gave our offerings, there was a moment where the sun broke through the clouds and began to glisten off of the sea. Njörðr had blessed us with giving us some of the best maritime scenery that specific area has to offer. We knew that our offers and prayers were received.
We chose to Blót to Njörðr this Miðsumar because summertime is a season of abundance in Alaska. This is the time when you stock up on salmon, halibut, spot prawns, etc. The hunting season is also just around the corner. Njörðr's blessings are very generous here in Alaska. Living in such a place absolutely puts you closer to the Gods, which in turn makes living as a devout Heathen all that more meaningful and rewarding.
Happy Miðsumar to all, and may blessings be upon you, your family, and our folk.
HAIL!
Let me know if any of you can draw or carve or make any other kind of Pagan art and I’ll share your stuff on the channel. To me art is one of the most inspiring things in the world.

In case you were wondering if russian lokeans are any different, the answer is no. Just cat ladies and homos thirsting over a twink elf or Tom Hiddleston while burning a lot of candles.

Pallas Athene sprang forth with a far-echoing battlecry, so that heaven and Mother Earth shuddered. In armor of gleaming gold she was born from the sacred head of the Father. All the immortals were afraid and astonished at the sight of her, as she sprang out in front of aegis-bearing Zeus, from his immortal head, brandishing her sharp javelin. Mightily quaked great Mount Olympus beneath the weight of the owl-eyed maiden.
Carl Kerenyi
The Fenris−wolf advances with wide open mouth; the upper jaw reaches to heaven and the lower jaw is on the earth. He would open it still wider had he room. Fire flashes from his eyes and nostrils.

On Friday, the 25th of July, join us as we go over how to advocate for ancestral faith and ways in the debate scene.
In today's age, debate is often how our ideas get exposure and will be met with fierce opposition. We will address various points made against ancestral faith and how to respond.
These will cover attacks and defenses from:
• abrahamists
• atheists
• axialists
• new-agers
• and others
Afterwards we will have an open Q&A where you can pose your toughest questions and see how its done live!
On this channel we have hosted debates live, as well as having years of experience debating on behalf of ancestral faiths. As we grow, our ideas will have scrutiny, will you know how to respond? Make sure to tune in 7/25/25 to gain the arguments and skills to advance the inevitability of Pagan Revivalism!
David Bekker has a ton of great myth illustrations. Too many to share here. Make sure to check his art out.

^ Btw when you point out all of the above in a chat or at an assembly the only counter a modern revisionist can muster is calling it a purity spiral. Yeah, imagine not tainting Pagan worldview with anti-Pagan bs. Pure madness.

Lindisfarne was a response to the massacre at Verden.
In 782, the traitor judeo-christian usurper charlemagne, under the false banner of peace negotiations, after the Saxons revolted from judeo-christian influence, murdered 4,500 Heathens & destroyed the blessed Irminsul.
According to Annales qui dicuntur Einhardi:
"There he called to his presence the chiefs of the Saxons, and inquired who had induced the people to rebel. They all declared that Widukind was the author of the treason, but said that they could not produce him because after the deed was done he had fled to the Northmen. But the others who had carried out his will and committed the crime they delivered up to the king to the number of 4,500; and by the king's command they were all beheaded in one day upon the river Aller in the place called Verden."
From the 790s until the 910s, the Scandinavians launched several offensives against the HRE and the judeo-christian religion (Lindisfarne) which caused this great evil of violating heathen law.
Once he was on a voyage with some impious men, and the vessel was overtaken by a storm; so they began to invoke the assistance of the Gods; on which he said, “Hold your tongues, lest they should find out that you are in this ship.” When he was asked by an impious man what piety was, he made no reply; and when his questioner demanded the reason of his silence, he said, “I am silent because you are putting questions about things with which you have no concern."

This is a historical depicion of Thor fishing for Jormangandr from the Altuna Runestone in Uppland, Sweden made in the 1,000s. Some people judge this depiction for being child-like but it may have been an intentional choice by the runemaster. The stone was erected in remembrance of a father and son who tragically died in a fire. The inscription says:
Véfastr, Folkaðr, Guðvarr had the stone raised in memory of their father Holmfastr, (and) Arnfastr.
Both father and son were burned, and Balli Freysteinn, of Lífsteinn's retinue, carved (this).
It's reminiscent of a quote from the Havamal, "A son is a blessing, though born late to a father no longer alive: stones would seldom stand by the highway if sons did not set them there." - Odin - Havamal - 72
Let this stone depicting blessed Thor and Odin's words guide you to remember our ancestors, to focus on the family and give honor and glory to our Gods who watch over and guide us.

Gods Love You!
An example of a russian lokean prayer. The lady (of course it’s a lady) thanks loki for taking her off a crooked path (probably drugs or something), asks for wisdom and ends the prayer with Forever yours, love. Ricky Martin’s song is a fitting cherry on top.

The idea that "the Gods of different faiths are the same" is the spiritual equivalent of saying, "one race, the human race."

Birth of Athena by D.Bekker

The individual occupations of the male deities are mostly divine versions of the occupations of men, and the occupations of the goddesses similarly correspond to those of women, with a few exceptions. Greek and Roman women did not engage in hunting as a sport, an activity that was proper to males, yet the goddess Artemis roams the wilderness as a huntress. Real Greek and Roman women did not act as soldiers, yet Athena is a goddess of war. Although women did not serve as heralds, the goddess Iris is one of the gods’ messengers. In these cases female deities specialize in activities in which human females did not participate.

There are so many things revisioned into Paganism just because they are pre-christian. Some actually believe that Akhenaten’s cult was Pagan just because it’s technically not christian. Zoroastrianism is seen as some ancient pre-christian tradition and yes, it is old and not christian, but it’s not Pagan. Platonism (philosophy as a whole really) is explicitly anti-Pagan. Plato has written down arguments against the Pagan norm. Aristoteles, his student, echoed the sentiment. Whom do you think early christians got most of their arguments from? Biggest church fathers like st. Augustine and Origen were neoplatonists. Medieval Scholasticism which was mainstream in christian world for centuries is just christianity+aristotelianism. The list goes on.
Most modern people just can’t fathom how ancient Paganism is and how derogatory christianity is as it is basically a combination of many ancient movements.
Why Gods are not supernatural
Do you call birds supernatural? Probably not. But they can fly which is not natural for humans. The same logic can be applied to Gods and Goddesses. They can do things humans can’t, but it’s their divine nature to do so.
When you hear one call Gods supernatural it shows that he/she sees the world with an atheistic/christian lens.

Part of Pagan Revival is to hear what our ancestors heard. The legends of our sacred Gods, before put to parchment, were songs!
From the wilds of Alaska, we interview Mike, devout Sedian Heathen and founder of Alaskan Bardcrafts @ t.me/Alaskanbardcrafts about his life, faith and passion to reproduce the instruments of our blessed and noble ancestors!
Be sure to give a follow Mike at Alaskan Bardcrafts and if you are interested in having an ancestral instrument for ancestral faith to support folkish economy and contact him at his email: Alaskanbardcrafts@outlook.com

We hear that Bion the Borysthenite,
Whom the ferocious Scythian land brought forth,
Used to deny that there were Gods at all.
Now, if he’d persevered in this opinion,
One would have said he speaks just as he thinks;
Though certainly his thoughts are quite mistaken.
But when a lengthened sickness overtook him,
And he began to fear lest he should die;
This man who heretofore denied the Gods,
And would not even look upon a temple,
And mocked all those who e’er approached the Gods
With prayer or sacrifice; who ne’er, not even
For his own hearth, and home, and household table,
Regaled the Gods with savoury fat and incense
Diogenes Laertius
