What is Syncretism?
Oxford dictionary defines it as, "the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought." Amalgamation is defined, "the action, process, or result of combining or uniting."
Syncretism in practice would be combining the Germanic Wotan (head of the Aesir, creator of Midgard) with the Hindu Shiva (the destroyer of the world, who's not the head of the pantheon). Why would somebody combine them? Because they have a slight connection with death, they both carry pointy sticks (Wotan with a spear and Shiva with a trident) And some people claim they are "cognate", EVERYTHING else doesn't match.
The earliest known case of syncretism documented comes from plato, who wrote in his timaeus that, "Nephthys is secretly Athena." Why? Because both are slightly connected with death. Never mind that they have completely different legends, completely different genealogies. None of that matters only vague similarities matter when combining old Gods into new Gods.
Speaking of Nuadu, look at this nigger attempt to blackwash him. All jokes about shitskins’ insecurities aside, I wonder what their forebears and ancestral gods think about this. Probably cringe at how pathetic these attempts to steal foreign faith are.
Читать полностью…Hence comes the name Loch Ce
I declare it without deceit
from Nuadu’s druid-splendid his valour-
is named the lake above all lakes.
Druid’s Lake
Loch Ce,—what was the cause of its breaking forth
when it was as yet a plain level and smooth?
I ask of you all, who was the Ce
from who everyone names the lake?
to what ruler of famous Banba belonged
the renowned druid who caused the lake to spread?
Fort of Fences
I was instructed, through lore of battles,
in the true tale of Ford of Fences
It was a home of shields and skenes,
with plenty of stake-fences and of troops:
blood-stained were its braves
on raids with the kingly Maines
There was a druid among Crimthand's men who found a way to deal with the fierce Fidga.
If ye desire their sudden destruction,
here is the means to subdue and behead them:
whomsoever the Fidga men shall hit,
let him be plunged in a pool of white milk:
from the strife of dreadful numerous weapons
he shall rise smooth and sound of wounds
Assisted by one of his men who used divination magic Eochaid managed to find a spring of secret water fountain which healed him
To the King who suffered, better than any prince,
let not my earnest supplication be scanty!
The eye of Eochaid the Generous
Eochaid was a king known for being kind and open-handed.
"A king more generous with his splendid treasures never held Clare of the hundreds".
"A single eye had the king of Druim Derg—he was the kindly one-eyed man of the red sword."
Riach’s Blood Lake
Loch Riach, famous for it’s red color, was named after Riach of the bright cheeks. He was one of four local kings. The other three were: fair Caimell, cruel Etar and Casta. Riach and Casta wooed the daughters of the other two, but were rejected. This led to a bloody battle which was their undoing. All four kings and their men die and "lie together in the lake". This leads to it getting so tainted it’s been red ever since "the color of each men’s blood in turn is the color that the lake acquired."
Taking a deep dive into Celtic tradition these days. Back in highschool I’ve read a lot of Celtic legends and, of course, Mabinogion. Now it’s more obscure stuff. Already found some interesting tales in Irish Metrical Dindsenchas.

Читать полностью…The betrayal of the Cossacks
After German surrender the Cossacks flee westwards to surrender to British as they understood that the soviet capture would be much worse. Shkuro and others managed to brake through to Lienz, Austria where many Cossack families lived. There British betrayed the captured Cossacks and handed them to the soviets who sent Cossack women and children to prison camps where they were worked to death, while Cossack men were tortured and murdered. Shkuro and other leaders such as general Helmuth von Pannwitz were hanged on 16th of January 1947.
Years pass, despite his senior age Shkuro is still eager to avenge his people and take down the soviet regime. He finally gets an opportunity with the start of WW II. The White Wolf joins Germans. In 1944 Himmler asks him to train special cavalry corps in Yugoslavia. Old chief’s experience leads to quick success and the XV SS Cossack Cavalry Corps is formed the same year.
Читать полностью…In 1920 Shkuro and his men had to flee the country after the White Army lost the civil war. In exile he travelled across Europe displaying great horsemanship, telling stories of his adventures and meeting with influential men in hopes of returning home and fighting lenin’s scum again.

Meanwhile Northern Europe is mostly ice and hard land, yet look what it’s people archived.
One can almost pity blacks. Most of them abandoned their land and traditions, don’t speak their native languages and can’t even play jazz without using White man’s instruments.
Just look at his. Hilarious! Here’s Amazon’s description:
This book provides a coup de grace or final blow to the fake theory of ‘Celts’ inhabiting ancient Britain or Ireland. The inhabitants of these islands were not ‘Celts’ – this book provides conclusive proof that the inhabitants were closely related to Africans and southern Mediterranean people, such as the African Guanches, Copts, Etruscans, and Pompeiians. These islands were inhabited by a cosmopolitan population, evidenced by high status African burials – such as Beachy Head Lady.
Abbe Paul Yves Pezron (1639-1796), a Breton theologian from France invented this fake ‘Celtic’ identity.
With this last one I have something important to point out. Note how the poet consistently refers to Ce as the druid of Nuadu specifically. The man also died of wounds he got in battle. It suggests that ancient Irish priesthood wasn’t as uniform as the mainstream image of a sickle-wielding herbalist implies. It’s just a theory of mine and I currently have no contact with the followers of Celtic tradition I used to know, but maybe there was a special type of a warrior druid who was a devout follower of Nuadu, the silver-handed God of war.
Читать полностью…The druid of Nuadu, heartener of the fray
from his grave comes the name of the lake
From Mag Tured yonder he came,
when poisoned spears dealt wounds
smitten by a keen-edged weapon
There is a stone that thou hast seen in the plain:
there was he laid under ground:
when his stone was cast upon the cairn
under the corpse rose up the mighty lake
In fear at the coming of the chieftains,
the kings of the raths, the noble Maines,
made round the ford to guard it
fences of black-thorn and of red-thorn
From these fences in sooth,
in the meadows of noble Elga,
is named Ath Cliath, with its strong tribes,
where I was wont to wend.
There were brought a hundred and fifty tender kine
to one spot and to one hill;
their milk was drawn without price paid
on the cold hill of Ard Lemnacht
The Milk Lake
Ard Lemnacht
King Crimthand feuded with a powerful tribe of the Fidga.
Every man of them was match for hundreds
overwhelming was their stature and their numbers
No mischance dared touch them at all,
no clang of arms in conflict could hurt them
One day the king was visited by a man who had heard that "there was none in Erin to whom Eochaid would say no". What the cruel man asked for was the king’s only eye.
Give me thine eye grey and bright,
said the surly malignant druid
thou among all men art specially distinguished
by fame for generosity among the Gaels
The King of Clare and Codal put
(it was a deed of praise and of horror)
his finger under his grey ball-like eye
so that it lay on the palm…
But the tragic past of the lake didn’t stop people from finding a use for it.
All the sheep in Erin were plunged therein
every seventh year,— it was a lasting custom:
white they were when they entered the lake,
famously red they stepped forth.
Dindsenchas (Gaelic: lore of places; Irish: topography) is a genre of Irish literature dedicated to noteworthy sites and the origins of their names. It offers a treasure trove of folklore both in prose and verse. The biggest dindsenchas collection I know is one complied and translated by Irish academic Edward John Gwynn. It consists of five volumes and all of them can be found online. My plan is to go through those I find especially interesting in hopes of popularizing the great tales and honoring the tradition they belong to.

Branded as a traitor by the country he was never a citizen of, Andrei Shkuro is remembered as a great hero and martyr by the few descendants of Kuban Cossacks. Tales of his wild adventures are still told in hopes that one day black banners with wolf’s head will rise again over the ashes of neo-soviet union.

This is not the only time we will mention British in this biography and unfortunately the next one won’t be that pleasant.
