A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
The same hatred jews have for all non-jews was inherited by christians, but instead of foreigners newly converted Europeans turned against their own kin.
This is true to this day and is the reason why a christian is worse than a jew. A traitor is worse than an enemy.
Will get back to the prose retellings of oral epic (bylina) of Rus. Also commissioned a new depiction of one of my favorite tales to go with the retelling.

Come to think of it. "Speak softly and carry a big stick" fits Ogma pretty well as a God of both eloquence and strength.

Does anyone know what happened to OK Vicuck? They did some nice content exposing fakes in Germanic Pagan tradition back in the day. Wonder where the author is now.

Perperuna (Paparuda) is a Pagan rain-summoning ritual practiced in Balkan. The main character of the ritual is a little girl dressed in green leaves who goes from one house to another singing songs and gets sprinkled with water as an imitation of rain.

Commissioned a piece of art today. Working on a text to go with it.
Will be interesting since I only found one brief mention of this on English net.
I don’t like petty internet drama, but I have a moral duty to speak out against evil where I recognize it. I used to follow and share this man’s content, but today it turned out that his views are rather anti-Folkish.
I don’t want a raid on his channel or anything like that, no need to support me in the comments either. Just read what he wrote and ask yourself whether this is something a Folkish i.e. real, traditional Pagan would write?
Overall, it’s a shame to see that a well-educated guy like him fell for and began promoting universalism and treating his Ancestral ways like a mr.potato head toy applying elements of foreign belief where he wants.

Hair cutting ritual
Postrizhiny
In Slavic tradition, postrizhiny was a ritual of a cutting hair of a child. The one who cut the hair became "postrizhiny father" and received gifts from parents. The guests also gave gifts to the child, mostly tasty food or clothes. The feast after the ritual could range from simple family dinner to a major celebration with music and dancing.
Two Pagan men, Titus and Hadrian, killed 1,680,000 jews, destroyed their leadership (Sadducees) and temple, and put them into a tight genetic bottleneck (350 individuals), which causes them to be afflicted by disease both mental and physical.
Name one christian ruler who did more against them ... I'll wait
A new linguistics paper predicts PIE is way older than previously assumed, and tries to reconcile their model with bad data from the southern arc paper about a CHG origin for PIe resulting in bad data out and a PIE=CHG conclusion. They ignore Sredny Stog which is STILL old enough for their novel posterior dating (i added it to their graph above to demonstrate)
Even the author of the Southern Arc hypothesis, Laziridis, himself doubts this new linguistic dating based on the mismatch with genetic evidence and an historical linguist, Guus Kroonen, has pointed out that the dates are too early and are unrealistic.
The new linguistic theory basically pushes southern arc to even more ludicrous extremes and says IVC and BMAC spoke Indo-Iranic languages. This is one of the stupidest takes in IE studies in a long time.
The practical part of offerings is rarely discussed, but even if we look at it from a secular point of view the effects of sacrificing resources like that are positive. They teach us to exercise will, not to be obsessed with material things and gather the folk for big rituals which helps strengthen the bonds of kin.

The Primal Force That Drives A People
Ethnic beliefs, deeply rooted in the soil of history, bears the imprints of a culture's unique journey—its struggles and its triumphs. To neglect the importance of these traditions is to forsake the very essence that animates a folk's spirit and the primal force that drives the preservation of a people.
It is within the embrace of this collective heritage that we discover the true source of our purpose and meaning, for true triumph emerges from the interconnected web of collective solidarity, casting a shadow over the fleeting ambitions of solitary souls.
We must, therefore, condemn all universalistic cults that transcend ethnic boundaries—such as Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism—for they will inevitably erode this profound essence entrenched within the fabric of one's ethnic being, diminishing all individuals entangled in their grasp into a lifeless fusion, devoid of the very vitality that inspires our indomitable pursuit of greatness.

Mark Puryear of Noroenna Society on "soft paganism"
Sedian belief is built upon hard polytheism, and as such we recognize that the Gods are many, and that their multitude represents the very order of the cosmos. All things in nature are multiple, all things around us share the commonality that they are represented in the forms of many, and never one. There is no one blade of grass, no one rock, no one star, or even one galaxy. All things are many, and so must be the Gods. They are not may representations of a singularity, they are a multitude of immanent beings existing within the fabric of reality that speak to us through our ancestral line.

It’s possible that Perperuna ritual has some connection with Slavic Thunder God Perun who could summon rain.
Also peperuda means butterfly in Bulgarian. This butterfly connection is alluded to in one of the songs performed during the ritual which goes as follows (in my translation):
Пеперуда лятала (butterfly flew)
как са й Бога молила (and begged God)
Дай ми, Боже, дребен дъжд (give me some rain, o God)

Pagan Revivalist groups are forming everywhere and growing fast!
Gods above! What a glorious time to be alive!
Though the darkness crowds around us, we tread the blessed path.
This is an age of Heroes. We are laying the foundation stones of Pagan Europe's Return.
Pagan Revivalism shall set our Folk free
It is good to remember those who fought and died to keep our religion alive during the long centuries of Christian persecution. The constant effort to imitate the bravery and sacrifice of these men and women builds our character and makes us better people.

In some Slavic regions locks of hair have to be destroyed or got rid of. For example, Ukrainians and Belarusians throw them into a fire. Sometimes the hair is thrown into the river or buried under a tree. However in some other Slavic traditions, the cut hair was preserved.

When talking about the ancestor veneration most will jump straight to either the Viking Age or Bronze Age, and while those two are great, we should not forget the ancestors who survived the hardest age of them all, the Stone Age. Those men were tougher than nails.

Norse Paganism in the Middle Ages
Have you heard of Erik Klasson and Ragvald Odenskarl? Both men were 15th century Swedes executed for openly declaring themselves Pagans, but their stories are even more interesting.
In 1492 Erik was executed for "sorcery", theft and heresy. He was originally a servant of Hans Persson on the island of Värmdö. When Erik was put before the court in Stockholm he had declared that he had sworn himself to Odin to escape poverty, and that he stole from his master a few times. In Erik's case he was being judged for his Paganism but officially judged for sorcery making it ambiguous to determine whether it was a witch trial or trial of heresy. In the eyes of the Church, native European Gods were demons and even though Erik himself meant Odin when he said "Oden", the Church translated this as "Satan" and thus Erik was judged as a devil-worshipper.
The second case was that of Ragvald Odenskarl ("Odin's Man", "Odin's Jarl"). Ragvald was put on trial on the 27th October 1484 for having stolen from Skepptuna Church twice, Markims Church, Orkesta Church and Vallentuna Church. Ragvald himself declared that he had served Odin for seven years and was not a Christian but a follower of the old way.
