There is a simple reason why folkish paganism is going to win. We're a fertility cult.
Unlike Christians, our religion is not an instrument of modern globalism bent on destroying its own flock. Unlike secular humanists and fake pagans, we actually have children. Even Muslims and other migrants end up with sub-replacement fertility after about two generations.
Go to a folkmoot. You'll see children everywhere. Folkish paganism is a life-affirming fertility cult, and the fastest growing religion in the world.
Folkishness is the future.

In the stories about kidnappings they are a result of the girl’s actions. A woman carrying water at night says that the Moon is too dim and, interestingly, in all those stories she claims that her ass is brighter.
Mano subinė labjaus švieč nekaip tas mėnuo!
My ass shines better than this moon!
Mani gurni spožāhi nekā tu!
My hips are brighter than you!
Tai švietėjas, tai mėnuо, nieko nesimato nei kur eiti, geriau aš su save rūrū pašviesčiau.
This light, this moon, can’t see where to go, I’d shine brighter with my ass.
After such insults Moon takes the girl. Lithuanians say that one can see a woman with a shoulder pole on the surface of the Moon.
I will soon write a little more about the Moon and Sun in Slavic tradition, specifically Lithuanian

Читать полностью…Folkishness is not simply in-group preference, it's much deeper than that. It's the idea that moral duties only apply to our team. People who are outside the in-group are also outside moral regard. There's no room for universalism in folkishness.
This may sound harsh, but it's the natural and basic worldview of Indo-Europeans. When a Dane plundered a Gaul, when a Samian plundered an Athenian, he wasn't taking something from someone, he was taking what was his, by right. There were no rights except those granted by your kin, and what rights other kin granted to themselves had no force. This doesn't mean we have to view other peoples as our enemies. We can trade with Chinese or Arabs, we can even appreciate them. But they have no rights that we don't give them. Our relations with them are bounded by what's good for us.
What does this matter? There's been a lot of discussion over the years about a homeland for every people. This is a moral end we're expected to accept. The folkish worldview is that all moral ends are ends that serve my folk, and everything outside that is non-moral or practical. This may offend universalists, but your folkish forefathers wouldn't have even questioned it.

Revivalism 120
Solar Eclipse & Pagan Revivalism:
The earliest evidence we have for Paganism was found in an ice-age cave in modern-day Germany dated 40,000 years ago. Meanwhile, christianization in Europe (depending on the nation in question) ranges between 1,724 (Armenia) to 637 years ago (Lithuania).
In other words, for a thousand or so years, give or take, our folk have been under the shadow of the axial-age via judeo-christianity. But just like the Eclipse, this shadow won't last. christianity has been in terminal decline for decades, only growing in sub-saharan africa. As judeo-christianity subsides, our revival is growing at an ever increasing rate. It'll take time, probably past some of our lifetimes, but the trends show that Pagan Revivalism is inevitable, and our light will return to this world once more!
Gods guide us unto glory and victory!
Speaking of pseudo pagans, platonists are not alone. There are naturalists (like varg), euhemerists, stoics etc. Some just don’t realize is that not all self-proclaimed Pagans were/are Pagan. Back in the day they were exiled/executed.
Читать полностью…Indo-European is a subversive term
Indus Valley was conquered and ruled by a tribe of Europeans until they racemixed and went extinct. Today India is dravidian genetically and culturally. It’s disgusting.
There’s no reason for the Indo- part when talking about the ancients.
Some nice illustrations from a children’s book about folklore spirits I’ve bought.
Читать полностью…It is our duty at this time to allow nature to heal from the devastation of modernity.
From this, we gain the favor of Gods and of the spirits inhabitanting the land, the streams, the seas, and the air.
I have heard it said that if the ocean was allowed to heal for 10 short years, it would regain 90% of the life lost through over-fishing and pollution. We should keep this in mind as we gain strength in numbers. For as we grow, so too does the healing and the blessings will pay us back tenfold
The man returned home and soon became even richer than his brother. The loaf could never be eaten completely. After one half of it was left, the rest always returned next day, as if growing back.
The envious brother decided to get a loaf like that too. He waited before the st.George’s, found the tree and climbed it. After some wait Lisun came again and began feeding his wolves. One was left without his share.
—Well, wolf, since you didn’t get yours, eat the one on top of the tree.
The envious brother heard it and got so scared he fell down. The wolf tore him apart at that very moment.
That’s what God gives to those who want more than enough.
As mentioned before, Moon is addressed as king in songs and prayers
Jaunas mėnuo, kunigaiksti!
Young/New moon, king!
Jaunas mėnulaicis
Dangaus karalaici
Young/New moon
King of the sky
Jaunas mėnuо jaunikaitis
Dangaus zemes karalaitis
Young/New Moon
King of the sky and land
In Lithuanian (and other Slavic) traditions Moon is a masculine deity and Sun’s husband. In songs and prayers he is often addressed as king or prince. He has close connections with young women and love magic e.g. he could bless the water which a young woman washes her face with. Blessed water will make her more beautiful and healthy.
In folklore Moon can also kidnap a young woman is she is close to water and insults Moon or points a finger at the Moon which is a taboo.
So the Argonauts laid a table of viands beside him, and the Harpies with a shriek suddenly pounced down and snatched away the food. When Zetes and Calais, the sons of Boreas, saw that, they drew their swords and, being winged, pursued them through the air. Now it was fated that the Harpies should perish by the sons of Boreas, and that the sons of Boreas should die when they could not catch up a fugitive. So the Harpies were pursued and one of them fell into the river Tigres in Peloponnese, the river that is now called Harpys after her.

Читать полностью…The same artist (A.Kankava) also illustrated a book about Greek myth and legends, but sadly I don’t have it. The print run was small so it’s very rare.
Читать полностью…Communists often say that religion was created by shamans (priests) and forced on folk using superstition and tricks. Of course it’s projection. Communism was created by jews and forced on subverted population via empty promises and grand speeches.
Natural religions came from the bottom up, from daily practices of common men, from farming, hunting, foraging and seasonal customs. Priests conducted rituals, but did not invent them (or the Gods).
The most serious Christian theologians don't say that Christianity is opposed to liberal secular humanism. Only meme-tier DEUS VULT Christians think this. The most serious Christian theologians know that liberal humanism is a continuation of Christianity. Their main critique of liberal humanism is that it is the profanation of Christianity, that all its "eternal truths" have been perverted and reduced to a merely secular expression.
This fails because a good idea is a good idea, whether sacred or profane.
The worship of the dead and land spirits is the sacred expression whose profane expression is blood and soil. This is a good idea no matter how it's expressed. On the other hand, modern progressivism is the profane expression of the idea of Christian supersession. Scientism is the profane expression of Christian "logos". Wokeness is the profane expression of Christian "meek shall inherit the earth". All these are bad profane ideas, because they're bad sacred ideas.

Lisun feeds the wolves
There were two brothers. One was rich, another was poor since nothing grew on his land. Eventually the poor one decided to leave the farm. He wandered the wild forests.
One night, before St. George’s day he climbed an oak to sleep up high. At midnight the forest was shook by howling and clamour. And it was getting closer.
There came a man shepherding a pack of wolves with a cart behind him. It was Lisun. He rode under the oak tree and began feeding his beasts bread from the cart. He fed all of them, but one loaf was still left in the cart. Lisun said:
—Whom to give this one? I’ll give it to the man on the tree. Climb down, take it and go home!
The man climbed down and took the bread. Lisun left.
Wolves have a herdsman called polisun. He shepherds them like sheep. He is tall and looks like a man.
Hunters have deals with him and serve him, having renounced God. Then he gives them different game. When hunters gather to hunt wolves, he turns into a wolf himself, gathers a pack and leads it to the hunters who strike down those they choose.
Lisovyk was later replaced by st. George in his functions which is seen from the tale "Lisun feeds the wolves"
