Paul Bunyan
American traditional “tall tales” as myth

Paul Bunyan was a hero of North America’s lumberjacks known for his giant size, strength and skill. Tradition says he cleared forests from the northeastern United States to the Pacific Ocean. In both iconography and function he (as well as similar characters of American folklore) reminds traditional cultural hero who brings order into the early chaotic world in the age of heroes. Typical examples of this archetype are Heracles, Mikula Selyaninovich and Parthalon.

Even in secular matters he was incompetent, intentionally so, often assigning his lovers to important positions. He also allowed women into the Senate.
Thankfully, Elagabalus’ reign was short and both him and his mother were executed by their own guard and dragged through the streets.All of his close associates and lovers were killed too.
Elagabalus was also an ugly transvestite who dressed as a woman, wanted to cut off his penis and got circumcised. As always only degenerates go against folk traditions. Damnatio memoriae is the only thing they deserve.

Overall Kostroma might actually be a remnant of some sacrificial practice, while Kostubonko is a deity, albeit a minor one. Today Kostroma is more popular which leads to some (both intentional and not) misinterpretations of her as a Goddess.

Kostroma is a female sacrificial doll which gets destroyed in a ritual very similar to Kostrub. Some even suggest that the two were originally one, but the tradition changed later, there are also theories of both are remnants of human sacrifice, but I disagree. I think the two are very different. Kostrub clearly does not represent a human. His features are too exaggerated (akin to Greek Priapus) and his ritualistic death marks the beginning of spring, a season of vegetation and fertility.
While Kostroma’s ritual death itself is similar the character itself is much more human.

Speaking of atheists, most are actually christian. As R.Oliver wrote:

They do not believe that one-third of a god became incarnate in the most squalid region on earth to associate with illiterate peasants, harangue the rabble of a barbarian race, and magically exalt the ignorant and uncouth to “make folly of the wisdom of this world,” so that “the last shall be first” — that they do not believe, but they cling to the morbid hatred of superiority that makes Christians dote on whatever is lowly, inferior, irrational, debased, deformed, and degenerate.

The Sedian symbol: The Yggdrasil

This beautiful piece of art is a recreation of the Yggdrasil found on the Överhogdal tapestry.

Found in 1909 during a church renovation, this tapestry is a beautiful display of the craftsmanship.

We believe that by utilizing this symbol to represent our sincerely held religious beliefs we are honoring the past, present, and future generations.

A core tenant of Pagan Revivalism is family building. Any philosophy or theology that does not put family first (or to hold it off for salvation or nirvana) is a cult

Kostubonko’s straw figure was ritualistically killed by either burning or drowning which also hints that he may have been a fertility deity who died at the change of seasons.

Elagabalus the Degenerate

Roman Emperor known as Elagabalus was, just like Egyptian Akhenaten, a traitor who went against the religion of his people (though he wasn’t a Roman himself). Just like Akhenaten he tried to introduce sun-worshipping henotheism mixing Greek Helios and foreign deity El Gabal (El is the same word used for the god in the bible, while Gabal means mountain).
He also encouraged jews and christians to visit the newly build temple too so that it: "might include the mysteries of every form of worship". In other worlds he tried to create a global religion.

Kostroma has no divine features and unlike Kostrubonko is also dressed as a human. Before the main part of the ritual the doll is carried around the village and mourned as a human.

Syncretism and monism
Subversion in plain sight

They stress similarities between different Gods in order to create a global paganism of sorts, sure it’s an absolute oxymoron, but wait till you hear their word salad full of axial age decadence and esoteric gibberish.
Ignoring the differences between the Gods or trying to brush them away as mere cultural interpretations of the same divine power is just a sleepy slope. Later they will apply the same logic to ethnicities and races themselves. They want to erode ethnic belief because christianity is no longer doing that (today it’s majority Black and Hispanic).
Some may be genuine, after all don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity, but don’t rule out malice.

You can find many ancient truths in folk music. The stories passed down by our forefathers through ballads are, in many cases, older than even the times their verse was recorded. Northern song and lorekeeping were interwoven in this oral tradition; to which our sacred texts are no exception.

The Elder Edda - our most promiment hierological work, is intended to be sung.

Folk music is the soul in Folk-soul.

Kostubonko or Kostrub (not to be confused with Kostroma) is a figure representing male fertility, possibly a deity of rebirth similar to Baldr. The puppet was made out of straw, had long, unkempt hair and a phallus. Both are obvious fertility symbols.
