A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
Very concise points made by APTA. ☝️
Religion devoid of a living and organic identity is hollow. Our forefathers understood that their faith was their tribe - and their tribe their faith.
Be of your own tribe and be of its native belief. This is to be Pagan.
The Christianization of Poland took several centuries and started when the first ruler of the Polish state, Mieszko I, got baptized in order to marry the Christian princess of Bohemia, Doubravka, around the year 965. This established the Polish-Bohemian alliance, which strengthened his grip on power.
However, the Polish folk were not having it. Mieszko I and his 3 successors/descendants all faced revolts almost immediately after their coronations in 1025, 1026, and 1076. The most notable one being the "reakcja pogańska w Polsce" (pagan reaction in Poland) in the 1030s.
Unfortunately, Mieszko I's baptism formed close ties with the Catholic Church—which up until the 12th and 13th centuries remained a foreign and unpopular establishment in Poland, imposed upon its populace by a governing elite driven by their own political and expansionist objectives—which gradually gained enough political influence to consolidate its rule over the Polish people, despite their many uprisings.

The Bridge of Tilt man was found interred in a long cist burial, not far from Blair Atholl, in Perthshire, Scotland. 🏴 He was around 40 years of age when he died and is thought to have lived sometime between 340 and 615 AD.

We Europeans are noble people
Divine blood flows in our veins
Honor the Gods and Goddesses
Honor the Ancestors
The main issue with hereticts is that they say: Gods can't have men-like qualities. My answer to this is that it's not God resembling us, it's us resembling our Gods. In all traditions mankind is created by the Gods with a mix of their own divine Blood (or spit, breath etc).
Subverters want to sever this conection with the Gods hence why they promote abstract, atheistic views.

Konstantin Vasilyev
Today, on 29th of October, Konstantin Vasilyev died an early death at the age of 34. He was and still is one of the best Pagan artists and gave us many great works e.g. his famous portrait of Odin. Sadly, most of Vasyliev’s art is hidden away in his museum and never even shown due to the fear of the government ban and/or destruction.

In charms, riddles, koliadkas and tales the crescent is male and just like Veles is connected with the mystical other side of the words i.e. the world of spirits (including the dead). He is called a husband of the Sun, an old or a young man (depending of the phase).
Here’s a healing charm one has to use during the waxing moon asking the crescent to help cure toothache (my translation):
Young one, young one, you have a golden horn. For your standing and my health. Have you been to the Underworld? You have! Have you seen the dead? You have! Do they have toothache? No, they don’t. May, o Lord, my teeth never hurt.
Mokosh
The second theory is the weakest. Mokosh is a female deity, but otherwise there is nothing one can definitively say about her. As a result Mokosh is seen as a woman par exellence, a guardian of the heavenly hearth. Some also add magic and moon to her attributes comparing her to Frigg and Hecate. But this theory has literally no proof and folklore shows the Moon being masculine thus supporting the next theory.
I see way too many people writing runes in English corresponding to each Modern English letter and not how it should be written, which is phonetically. You write according to how a word is sounded, which often is very different from how it is spelled in Latin characters.
I will provide an example sentence.
"I am here."
ᚪᚣ᛫ᚨᛗ᛫ᚻᚣᚱ᛬
Too many people would write it as this, letter by letter, which is incorrect.
( ᛁ᛫ᚪᛗ᛫ᚻᛖᚱᛖ᛬ )
Sound it out: it literally says
"Ih ahm herreh." which is basically gibberish.

Go out, worm, with nine wormlings, out of the marrow into the bone, from that bone into the flesh, out from the flesh into the hide (horse skin), out from hide (horse skin) into this arrow. Drohtin, let it be so!”
An idol of Thor for my pal. Hopefully I'll be able to send it soon.

De-humanizing Gods is a heresy
To understand the traditions of Europe we have to delve into what was considered heretical by the Ancients. One such thing is the idea that Gods are perfect and separated from the real world i.e. what Xenophanes and later Socrates/Plato taught. In Homer's Iliad (as well as other texts) Gods are individuals. They have personal traits (even negative ones), they can interact with the world of men, have sex and even die. To Xenophanes this, despite being his tradition, was wrong. He said that both his own and foreign people (Thracians and Ethiopians) just humanize abstract divine powers. For this Xenophanes was offered either to die or to be exiled. Chose the latter. Later Socrates expressed the same views and got the same choice. Chose the former.

Xenophanes taught that there’s a universal power all people stupidly interpret as distinct ethic Gods. He is respected by modern muslims.
Guenon taught that there’s a universal tradition for all people on Earth. He became a muslim.
Anti-Folkish subversion is not a modern thing. Early on such ideas were met with proper action (Xenophanes was exiled and Socrates was executed), but as time went on those occult (secret, marginal) teachings managed to spread, mostly during the Axial Age, though there were some anti-Folkish traitors long before it (e.g. Akhenaten)

To sum up, Veles, the God of Magic and the Lord of the Dead is the one who fits the role of a lunar deity the most. Slava.

Veles
The final and strongest theory is that Veles is the true lunar God. This theory is supported by folklore which always adresses the Moon or rather the crescent (місяць, месяц, miesiąc) as a masculine (a young man and/or an old man). We also know that Veles is strongly assosiated with magic and Underworld and the same is true for the crescent.
The English translation of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign is rather flawed in general, but the part we need is especially so. It’s just a couple of lines about legendary Vseslav the Shapeshifter. My own translation:
King Vseslav governed
the city and people by day
And prowled
as a wolf by night
He prowled from Kyiv to Tmutarakan
Crossing the path of great Khors
Here Khors can be interpreted either as the setting moon or the rising sun, but etymology supports the latter.
