Then the old man fell asleep.
The couple rose early. Now the lad recognized the old man. He was the one who gave him advices before the bridge. They gave the old man a lot to eat and drink and he left.
The end
A month passed and as it was getting dark the couple heard a knock at the door. It was an old man. He asked them to let him stay the night at the house. The old man sat close to the fireplace and warmed himself. He saw that the lad was upset.
—Why are you so sad?
—You can’t help me, so there’s no point in telling…
—Maybe I can…
The lad told everything and mentioned that this night the chort will come and take his life unless he answers nine riddles.
—Don’t you worry, kid. Go to bed and let me handle it.
The couple went to bed and soon fell asleep. The old man stayed up waiting in front of the fireplace. Exactly at twelve a voice came from the window.
The lad went further. He came to the ninth village and saw the house which looked just as the old man described. He entered and saw an old man with three daughters.
—Come in and rest. What do you want from us?
—I’d like to marry one of your daughters.
He asked for the youngest one, but the father didn’t like it and told him to take the eldest daughter. The lad wanted to protest, but remember the advice he got from an old man.
There was a wedding and a lot of fun.
Chort’s bridge
There was a widow. She had a son and couldn’t find a wife for him. When he grew up the widow got sick and died. Then the lad set off to find himself a wife. He decided to go the neighboring village. On his way there he came to a bridge and met an old man in front of it.
—Where are you going, lad?-the old man asked.
—I’m looking for a wife who’s neither rich, nor poor.
The old man advised him to follow the track until he reaches the ninth village.
—There you will see a big, beautiful house. A man with three daughters lives there. But don’t choose and take the one he offers. And when you cross this bridge make sure to be quiet, walk on your toes.
Chort is the most popular creature in Slavic folklore. An evil spirit depicted similarly to the Western horned and hoofed devil. Both are sly and want to get souls as well as some fun too. Eventually chorts became so popular in folklore that the word itself became a synonym of all spirits e.g. vodianoi was often called a water chort. By the way, we’ll see chorts appear near rivers, ponds etc. This is similar to how the term troll was used to describe many different creatures.
Chort is often a comedic character. Despite great powers and craftiness chorts often get tricked by the protagonist or an old wise man/woman the latter consults.
Will start posting the tales tomorrow

Cow’s die, friends and family die,
you will die just the same way.
The only thing that won’t die
is what folks say about you
when you’re dead.

I saw a rich man’s sons,
they had a good many head o’ cattle.
Now they’re beggars in the street.
Wealth’s nothin’ to count on;
it’ll leave you as soon as it finds you.
Cowboy Havamal

Don’t think you’re the goddamned smartest,
or the toughest, or the best at anything,
and don’t let folks think you are, either.
otherwise you’ll find out the hard way
That someone is always better.

People’s approval ain’t nothin’ you need.
Half the time it ain’t true.
Just be sure you think you’re right;
and that you’re comfortable in your own skin;
you’re all you can count on.

The Longobards originally called themselves Winnili and inhabited Scania.
Godan, the name by which they called "Odin," was the main deity of their Germanic Pantheon.
According to legend, the ruler of the Longobards, "Gambara," asked Odin's wife Frigg for help to win in battle against the Vandals.
Odin decreed that he would give victory to the people who would see first on the morning of the battle.
Frigg gave the Longobards the advice to present themselves on the battlefield at sunrise: men and women together, these with their hair down to below their chins like beards. At sunrise Frigg caused Odin to turn to the side of the Winnili, and the god, when he saw them, asked, "Who are those with the long beards?" To which the goddess replied, "Since you have given them a name, give them victory as well."
Hence their ethnonym: "It is commonly said that the Lombards were so called because of their long beards, which were never cut" (Isidore of Seville, Etymologiae, IX, 2, 95)
Longobards: the beloved sons of Godan, the valiant conquering soldiers, the warriors who earned the golden pome of victory with ardor in battle.
They repopulated Cisalpine and were the last serious wave of migration to form the ethnicity of today's Lombards, so much so that the overlap of Cisalpine Gaul with Langbard creates our territory, our identity and our ethno-cultural heritage.
Hail Alboinus Rex!

Got a miniature Zbruch idol from @wildejager
This is definitely the most detailed copy of the original. The latter is the most well-known Slavic sacred object depicting four different deities. Two pairs of Gods and Goddesses of Zbruch idol are hard to identify and there’s many theories. I personally consider them to be either some completely forgotten deities or local variants of major Slavic Gods such as Dazbog and Mokosh.
Order one for yourself at: shop@militant.zone
The idol is available in different colors. Will post more photos later.
—Are you here waiting for me or are you sleeping?
—I am waiting indeed. What do you want from me?-asked the old man.
The chort thought it was the lad.
—I’ll ask you nine questions. You answer.
—Alright.
—Of which there’s only one in the world?
—The sun.
—Good. Of which there’s two in the world?
—Eyes.
—Right you are. Of which there’s three in the world?
—Windows in a good house.
—Yes. Of which there’s fours in the world??
—Wheels on a wagon.
—True. Of which there’s five in the world??
—Fingers on a man’s hand.
—Right. Of which there’s six in the world?
—Oxen in a landowner’s barn.
—Of which there’s seven in the world?
—Daughter’s at an unfortunate man’s house. He’ll have a hard time finding husbands for them.
—Of which there’s eight in the world?
—Sacks of grain in a rich man’s house.
—Of which there’s nine in the world?
—Pieces of salt beef in a fortunate man’s house. He’ll eat well.
—You are right. You solved them all and won. The salt beef is yours and I won’t trouble you anymore.-said the chort and left.
Then the lad decided to take his wife back to his village. They set off and soon reached the bridge.
—This is no ordinarily bridge, it belongs to a chort.-he said-we have to cross it quietly.
The couple took off their shoes and as soon as they got on the other side the chort appeared.
—Well, led, as you remember I promised you a reward and I keep my word. I see you got yourself a wife…Take nine boars. Slaughter them when you get home and cook some salt beef. Leave the beef hanging and eat the rest with your wife. In a month I will come and ask nine riddles. If you fail to answer them all I’ll take both the salt beef and your life.
The young took the boars home and did everything like the chort said.
The lad did just that. Took off his shoes and crossed the bridge. He only made a couple of steps and a chort came out.
—Do you know that it’s chort’s bridge?
—I do.
—Well, since you crossed it quietly I’ll reward you when you return.
Chorts are popular because of their mix of danger and comedy. They often end up helping the protagonist, albeit unwillingly (e.g. because they loose a bet).
Chorts are also very social creatures. They live among humans and act accordingly. Chorts like to get drunk and have fun with the witches. They are also fond of riddles, games and fun in general.
Before I begin sharing the tales I’ve translated there’s a certain folk creature to explain. This creature will be featured in many tales, so we can’t just ignore it. The next post will be dedicated to said creature. Can you guess who that is?

That head on your shoulders
is the best thing you’ll ever have.
And no amount o’ money
can make up for not having’ it.
Keep it in good shape.

You may not have much,
so don’t give much.
But I’ve won friends

and half a loaf o’ bread.

"The Cowboy Havamal" is a condensation of the wisdom of the first, most down-to-earth part of Havamal into mostly five-line stanzas of Western American English dialect.
While my other translation of Havamal in this volume is more complete, the tone of this one seems more authentic to me. The voice is that of my grandfather, sad with wisdom and cynical with experience, which I have always heard when reading this poem in the original.

Christianity is the main problem of the White Race. Without curing it there is no long term solution. Yes, Christians have the impudence to equate Christianity with European civilization, which is the deepest insult for us. For example, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church patriarch Kirill once said that all Slavs were barbarians, subhuman creatures without reason, before accepting Christianity. In Russian his remarks sounded particularly insulting. It brought an avalanche of enraged response from thousands of Russians (mainly on the internet, because we are not allowed to protest on the street). This “Russian” patriarch made many other anti-Russian remarks and called for more vigorous state measures against “neo-Nazis.” Kirill is a genuine Christian and expresses what he was taught. His views are consistent with Biblical teachings and his remarks opened eyes for many on what Christianity is. You are either nationalist or Christian; you cannot be both.
