A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
In Rome it is the conception of the genius in which the idea of the continuity of the family finds its expression. This genius is not only the divine power of procreation, which in the individual case begets new life, but means also, as has been observed, a simile for the male seed, which from the father begets the son and from the son goes on to continue the race. The one and same seed that was in the father is in the son and will continue to be in the grandchildren and further generations. Here we have the sharpest conceivable contrast. It is not in the women, but in the men that the family is perpetuated.
History of Roman Religion by F.Altheim
Remember my retrospective of Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles? Recently I decided to read the rest of it (The Merlin Cycle). Already halfway through the Trumps of Doom. Not that many references to the myth and folklore (at least not the European ones), but it’s a fun, easy read, especially for someone young (I was in mid-teens when reading it for the first time).
Will write a review when done.
It’s time to express my gratitude to other Folkish Pagan channels

Here's another example of subversion in art. A feminist reinterpretation of Perseus holding Medusa's head. Intentional, open insult to the classic myth (and therefore values) of the Ancestors.

It’s sad to see how many modern parents don’t want to actually parent their children. Gen alpha is raised by YouTube and TikTok. I’m really worried for them.

The Ancient Practice of Weregild Among Germanic Heathens
Long before modern legal systems, ancient Germanic societies had a fascinating method for maintaining peace and justice called "weregild," a term derived from the Old English words "wer" (man) and "gild" (payment or fee). Weregild was essentially a form of compensation paid by a person who committed a crime, such as murder, to the family of the victim.
This practice was not just about reparation but was deeply rooted in the cultural and social norms of Germanic tribes. Weregild helped prevent ongoing feuds and vendettas by ensuring that justice could be achieved financially rather than through further bloodshed. The amount paid varied depending on the status of the victim, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society at the time.
Leaders, warriors, and commoners each had a specific weregild value, emphasizing the societal importance of each individual’s role. This system shows how interconnected justice, economics, and social status were in these communities.
Weregild is a testament to the complex legal systems of the early Germanic peoples and offers us a glimpse into their efforts to establish social harmony in a time when the rule of law was considered a pillar of society.
Weregild was replaced with capital punishment around the 9th century in medieval England due to Christianity.
Monotheism and universalism are manifestations of what we now call liberalism. Even in ancient times.
Folkish thinkers criticize Plato for this, with his singular conception of the good and totally abstract god. But Plato was not the first. 1000 years before him there was Akhenaten.
Akhenaten was an Egyptian pharaoh who consolidated the Egyptian pantheon into a "One" called "Aten" or the sun. His god was abstract and impersonal. His eye was toward the beyond, with his transcendent god having very little to say about traditional duty. The common folk were forgotten. He retreated to the desert to build his city, an "ivory tower" with little care for folk culture. He was priestly and otherworldly, neglecting martial virtues (logos > thumos) and letting the military decay. Women were empowered and his chief wife Nefertiti gained unprecedented authority, almost as a co-regent. He introduced a new art style that promoted androgyny, novelty, ugliness, and deemed the old style unenlightening. He had an incestuous relationship with his own daughter by Nefertiti. His worship was as close to science as the ancient world would ever see. So close that it was essentially atheism. From Flinders Petrie:
If this were a new religion, invented to satisfy our modern scientific conceptions, we could not find a flaw in the correctness of this view of the energy of the solar system. How much Akhenaten understood, we cannot say, but he certainly bounded forward in his views and symbolism to a position which we cannot logically improve upon at the present day. Not a rag of superstition or of falsity can be found clinging to this new worship evolved out of the old Aton of Heliopolis, the sole Lord of the universe.
Monism, monotheism, and universalism manifest themselves the same way everywhere in history. They are three sides of the same coin, which is secularism. They are anti-folkish. They are only ever found in a dying civilization. Egypt managed to reverse all of them though, and lasted another 1000 years.

I’m not a big fan of Spiderwick Chronicles franchise, but I did read the book and watch the 2008 movie back in the day. Now there’s a Netflix adaptation. Of course, Netflix did what it does best. I still have the book and here’s an illustration depicting the main characters, Jared and Simon. Here are the same characters from the Netflix version.

christianity is part of the problem, you can't unite with a part of the whole you want destroyed.
What we are doing is uniting with other Europeans who are all Pagan since you can't be a true European not being one.

Nick Fuentes' first loyalty is not to his people, but to an ideology.
/channel/nickjfuentes/13095
He would sooner replace the people than the ideology. As Christianity again becomes the religion of the third world, he will have to make that choice.
Folkish pagans don't have this problem. Folkish paganism is inseparable from our people. It is our people, and our people is folkish paganism.

We just passed 1000 subscribers in only a few months. Thank you to everyone who shares our posts.
This channel is dedicated to putting the folkish worldview on a solid philosophical footing. For too long "pagan philosophy" has meant ancient philosophy, much of which has anti-folkish foundations. We are offering something different, based strictly on our own traditions and the authentic spirit behind them. Both are compatible with the most cutting edge developments in contemporary philosophy.
This is what you will find here.
Folkishness is the future.

"We know that, from the works of art that the peoples and the times have left us, we can draw a picture of their true spiritual essence, form and environment...
Woman has probably never been depicted so disrespectfully and in so unappetizing a way as in the paintings we have been obliged to put up with in German exhibits of the last twelve years, paintings that inspire only nausea and distrust. They convey not the slightest trace of the sacredness of the human body or of the glory of a divine nakedness."
These words were written in 1932. Needless to say they are not simply true today, it got far worse. Modern art is to put it bluntly a mockery of beauty. Have no doubt, this is intentional. A conscious, calculated effort to bring us down in all ways possible. A real piece of art can inspire, can give power, make us happy after all. They want the opposite. There are many examples (enough to fill a dozen of albums), but since the quote mentioned nakedness and women I decided to pick these two.
This episode from t.me/TheSacredStew is very informative and goes to the heart of dogma/orthodoxy in our ancestral faiths. Give it a listen and give Sacred Stew channel your support for more informative theological podcasts

Typhoios
A god whose hands were like engines of war,
Whose feet never gave out, from whose shoulders grew
The hundred heads of a frightful dragon
Flickering dusky tongues, and the hollow eye sockets
In the eerie heads sent out fiery rays,
And each head burned with flame as it glared.
Hesiod
Tribal cultures are inherently non-universal, rooted in specific folk traditions and identities. Once a culture adopts universalism, it ceases to be tribal.
Heathenry specifically reflects the unique worldview and practices of the Germanic peoples, transmitted from one generation to the next.
Traditionally, tribal cultures maintain an inward focus, generally excluding external influences, a trend consistent across ancient Germanic societies.

To me, it reveals three things:
1. For many years, the messaging of Paganism has gone to one particular group, young men. And that's not a bad thing. Good young men getting in touch with their roots. But the hyper-fixation on only Pagan warrior culture and nerdy genetic studies with letters, numbers & scientific papers, oh my, has pushed out ladies and others who aren't interested in a one-dimensional faith. It is not that that information is bad, but it should be part of a greater whole.
2. Our people have a crisis of spirit, a lack of hope. I have heard it said from those that enjoy this channel, that you will OD on white pills here. It is optimism, practical solutions as well as encouraging to strive to better yourself, your family & your folk, to give one the purpose that modernity & judeo-christianity can not suffice.
3. Paganism is here, growing & nothing can stop it!
While in service of Lithuanian king Olgerd, Antony and John tried to hide themselves being christian, but could not, because they differed too much from pagans in customs and actions. They did not want, like others, to cut their hair and beards like pagans did. They did not want to eat meat on fast days. They did not honor any pagan customs which went against christianity. And when the king asked them why they do not follow ancient Lithuanian customs, the saints fearlessly revealed being christians.

Starting another translation from the lives of early European saints who were executed by Pagans. Would be nice to have an illustration for one of the interesting tales I found. If you are familiar with historical art let me know in the comments.

Christians like to cope that paganism is small compared to Christianity. They say "you can't win, there are too few of you and many of us". They assume that there will be no conversion to paganism, and no conversion away from Christianity.
But every day thousands of white people leave Christianity. This faith born outside of Europe is returning to its non-European roots, and becoming the religion of the third world. Already most Christians in the world are non-white. This will only get worse.
As Christianity increasingly belongs to the third world, you will see white people increasingly reject it as "their thing, not ours". This process can't be stopped, and was assured the moment Paul made Christianity the common possession of all humanity. Europeans did not need Christianity to prosper; Christianity needed Europeans to prosper. Now it has no more need of us. And we have no need of it.

Though my memory is hazy, I remember the best element of the book. The plot is about admiring the past and traditions. A family from New England moves into and old estate and the protagonist learns about his grandfather’s research of fairies, brownies, hobgoblins etc. Even meets them. Learning about folklore is presented as exciting and magical. That’s why changing the race of the main characters is not only insulting, it doesn’t work in a story about Americans reconnecting with their roots full of reference to Irish and Scottish folklore.

There's a reason why the symbology of ancestral faith still remains even through christianization. Because it speaks to our blood and our soul in ways judeo-christianity never could
