A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
Fig. 9 represents a Norman noble who is dressed in a some-what similar style. Here the wide-sleeved tunic has a design worked over its surface, in addition to borders at the edge and on the sleeves.

Got this T-shirt as a gift from a relative. Got my size wrong, but it’s still a nice one.

Then Rhitta sent a messenger to the Court of King Arthur to say that he had trimmed a mantle with kings' beards, and to command Arthur carefully to flay off his beard and send it to him. Out of respect to his pre-eminence over other kings his beard should have the honour of the principal place. But if he refused to do it, he challenged him to a duel, with this offer, that the conqueror should have the mantle and the beard of the vanquished.

And as he was setting on his dogs he saw a horseman coming towards him upon a large light-grey steed, with a hunting horn round his neck, and clad in garments of grey woollen in the fashion of a hunting garb.

Cocidius at Yardhope, Northumberland

He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail-coat and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes.

Don't be sloppy with your practice
Better not conduct a ritual at all than make mistakes. Your offer will not just be rejected, but you might even be cursed. This was widespread in the past, but is mostly forgotten today. There are many examples, but the best one is probably found in the saga of Egil. The titular hero was a poet and a sorcerer and here are his wise words:
Runes none should grave ever
Who knows not to read them;
Of dark spell full many
The meaning may miss.
Ten spell-words writ wrongly
On whale-bone were graven:
Whence to leek-tending maiden,
Long sorrow and pain.
What most folk today don't realize is that the legends of our Gods and Ancestors were songs before they were written.
The rhythm and rhyme keeping the words within safe from tapering and revision. It was easy to memorize and played quite often.
Whether it be at a religious ceremony, around fire or in a hall during a feast, these legends were well heard and preserved.
So the next time you read the legends, try to hear the singing of our forefathers and foremothers and join them in chorus

I love common man for his thousand-year long history of hardship and culture which made him fearless in the face of death. I love him for surviving, despite the storms of the world falling nations and cultures.

White-eyed Chud
In Slavic folklore Chud is an ancient race of magical creatures who had left the surface world and now dwell underground. According to the legends Chud are strange, white-eyed creatures who used to be incredibly rich and prosperous, but eventually hid in the mounds under the earth along with all their treasures after the christianization.
Speaking of clothes here are some nice 11th classics from H.Norris’ Costumes and Fashion

Arthur gathered his host and marched into Gwynedd and encountered Rhitta. The twain fought on foot, and they gave one another blows so fierce, so frequent and so powerful, that their helmets were pierced and their skullcaps were broken and their arms were shattered and the light of their eyes was darkened by sweat and blood. At the last Arthur became enraged, and he called to him all his strength: and boldly angry and swiftly resolute and furiously determined, he lifted up his sword and struck Rhitta on the crown…Rhitta gave up the ghost, and was buried on the top of the highest mountain of Eryri, and each of his soldiers placed a stone on his tomb. The place was afterwards known as Gwyddfa Rhitta, Rhitta's Barrow, but the English call it Snowdon.

Rhitta Gawr, King of Wales, hearing of the desolation wrought by these mad monarchs, determined to attack them. Having previously consulted the laws and his people, he marched against them, vanquished them and cut off their beards.
When the kings of the surrounding countries heard of the disgrace inflicted on all these disbearded kings, they armed themselves against Rhitta and his men, and tremendous was the conflict. But Rhitta achieved a decisive victory…After that he took up all the beards and trimmed with them a mantle for himself that extended from head to heel: and Rhitta was twice as large as any other person ever seen.
And lo, as it reached the middle of the glade, the dogs that followed the stag overtook it and brought it down. Then looked he at the colour of the dogs, staying not to look at the stag, and of all the hounds that he had seen in the world, he had never seen any that were like unto these. For their hair was of a brilliant shining white, and their ears were red; and as the whiteness of their bodies shone, so did the redness of their ears glisten.

'Has anything,' asked Egil, 'been tried for her ailment?'
'Runes have been graven,' said Thorfinn; 'a landowner's son hard by did this; and she is since much worse than before. But can you, Egil, do anything for such ailments?'
Egil said: 'Maybe no harm will be done by my taking it in hand.'
And when Egil had finished his meal, he went where the woman lay and spoke with her. Then he bade them lift her from her place and lay clean clothes under her, and they did so. Next he searched the bed in which she had lain, and there he found a piece of whalebone whereon were runes. Egil read them, then cut the runes and scraped them off into the fire. He burned the whole piece of whalebone, and had the bed-clothes that she had used hung out to air.

Polish 17th century cemetery has this female skeleton with a sickle to prevent her from rising and terrorizing the living.
Usually I don’t take photos of my rituals, but why not make an exception for once? Wish I had some photos or more idols, but it’s attention that matters on Dziady (Didy).

Dziady (Didý) can be translated as ancestors (not just grandfathers) and is the day of remembering, honoring and feasting with the dead.
