In European myth, however, it is also common for human origins to be connected with trees too.

Later in Shumer mythology there is an account of a Enkidu’s creation which also involves clay

So the goddess conceived an image in her mind, and it was of the stuff of Anu of the firmament. She dipped her hands in water and pinched off clay, she let it fall in the wilderness, and noble Enkidu was created.

In Egyptian mythology ram-headed fertility God Khnum also created humans from clay using a potter wheel.

According to the legends Chud are small, white-eyed creatures who used to be incredibly rich and prosperous, but have hid in the mounds under the earth along with all their treasures after the christianization.

Creativity of the ancients as well as their level of technology are really downplayed. Partially because of christianity and it’s attempt to make pre-christian people seem primitive and barbaric. Modern leftists are doing the same thing today (and blackwashing too).

"Now I'm glad that I found you, like Odin's falcons, greedy for breath, when they rotate whales, warm prey, or dove nets look at the daylight.

I want to kiss the dead king before you throw off the bloody fountain. Your hair is covered with frost, Helgi's chest is drizzled with the dew of battle: the hands of Högni's Eidam are clammy: How am I, ruler, supposed to heal your suffering?

Helgi speaks:

You created, Sigrun Von Serbaberg, that Helgi was so wet with harm: You golden mean grim teeth, beautiful southern maiden, before going to bed:"

[...]

"Had he come, would he come, Now Sigmund's son from Odin's hall. Hope for Helgi's homecoming dark eleven: Already sit Aare in the ash branch. The people are drifting towards the dreamland.

Translation from the Edda by Genzmer"

Helgi expresses compassion for Sigrun's pain and a desire to kiss a dead king before a terrible event takes place, creating a sense of urgency, desire, and suspense. This SS guidebook directly quotes from the Eddas as shown here.

Famous phrase "Don’t kick the one who’s down" comes from rules of traditional boxing written down in 1726.

The fighting style was similar to Greek pankration. There's was basically no rules and men of any social status and even age had the right to take part in it. The fights often took place in big open places like squares or even frozen rivers in winter. They occurred primarily during big celebrations. There were different types of fights: one on one, wall on wall (two big groups against each other).

How christians tried to ban traditional boxing

Among the many Pagan traditions judeo-christians tried to ban was old Slavic bare-knuckle boxing (kulachniy boy).

The earliest mention of the conflict is Nestor the Chronicler's famous note written in 1048 about Slavs still living like Pagans after christianization. Here's my translation:

"We live as Pagans...keeping the old beliefs, against the God's will, we still have bards and their trumpets and guslis, rusalii and games and many people still punch each other doing the devil's work"

The light and warmth of the sun did not only produce the first plants but also the first human couple who grew up like two trees a landi, on the bare ground newly arisen from the sea. Divine intervention then turned them, as in the Iranian myth, into the full forms of man and woman. The anthropogenic myth to which Voluspa alludes may thus reflect mythic ideas on the origin of mankind from trees that were part of a common Indo-European heritage.

Actually even in christianity there’s no creation out of nothing. Primordial waters of chaos were not created and Adam was made out of red lay hence his name which means red earth i.e. clay. It’s well-known that jews were influenced by Shumerian and Akkadian myth.

The eldest creation myth is found in Shumer tradition where the wise God Enki and the fertility Goddess Ninmah create humans together, but since Ninmah was drunk she made a lot of flawed, incomplete invalids to whom Enki nevertheless gave some fate:

Ninmah took clay from the top of the abzu in her hand and she fashioned from it first a man who could not bend his outstretched weak hands. Enki looked at the man who could not bend his outstretched weak hands, and decreed his fate: he appointed him as a servant of the king.

No ex nihilo

One of the distinguishing elements of pre-abrahamic, pre-axial belief is the idea that humanity was created out of nothing. In all myth, even if there’s only fragments of creation myth left, we see that mankind was always created by the Gods using some material, often wood or clay. For example, Prometheus used clay.

Incredibly sad news today as one of Britain’s most iconic trees on Hadrian’s Wall is deliberately felled in the night.

Clearly planned, as the tree was spray painted and then taken down with a chainsaw.

Did a bunch of awful people just do this for the sake of pointless destruction? Perhaps. But this comes at a time when there’s an increasing number of ‘random accidents’ and mysterious acts of vandalism and arson destroying iconic and historic sites across the country, such as the Crooked House in Staffordshire.

White-eyed Chud

The hidden folk of Slavic folklore is called Chud or just old people. They are also known to Sami and Komi people. The closest equivalent of those being are Irish Sidhe (aes sídhe) as both are believed to be an ancient non-human race of magical creatures who had left the surface world and now dwell underground.

Dealing with fakes

Fakes exist. We can't just bog them like in the good old days, at least not yet. What we can do is habitually ridicule and call them out. Not all of them literally wave a gay flag though, some are more subversive and try to come off as genuine. Some may even think they are.

King Diarmait mac Murchada of Leinster inspects the head of a fallen enemy after the Battle of Achadh Úr; year AD 1169. 🇮🇪 In the background, an Anglo-Norman mercenary (on horseback) and a Welsh mercenary. Art by Angus McBride (RIP: 1931-2007).

It was Diarmait mac Murchada who brought the first English invaders over to Ireland in the year 1169, in order to recover his Kingdom of Leinster. Diarmait had been ousted by the High King of Ireland, Ruaidrí Ua Conchobar and his ally, the king of Bréifne, Tigernán Ua Ruairc; he had taken the latter’s wife in a manner similar to the Greek legend of Paris and Helen of Troy. The English invasion was initially successful in restoring Diarmait to his throne and capturing a significant part of Ireland. The native Irish were unaccustomed to the novel fighting methods of the Normans (i.e. massed volleys by Welsh archers followed by cavalry charges with heavy war horses), and the aforementioned kings and enemies of Diarmait were highly incompetent. One thing historians often understate or fail to mention altogether, however, is that the invaders relied almost entirely on native Irish allies and Welsh archers to do all of the hard fighting.

One episode at an early stage in the invasion was the battle of Achadh Úr, which took place near Freshford, in county Kilkenny. Diarmait had insisted on invading the Kingdom of Ossory to take vengeance on a rival, king Donnchad mac Gilla Patraic. The invaders were initially defeated in a series of guerrilla-style attacks in the deep forests of Ossory, suffering significant losses and being forced to beat a hasty retreat. But the men of Ossory became overconfident and followed Diarmait’s army out to a district of open fields, where the Welsh were able to put their archery-volley tactics to good use; the result was a major victory for Diarmait and his allies.
