A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
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.

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.

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!

To sum up, Perun’s proper iconography is as follows: red hair, long mustache, no bear and a club in his hand. He can have a bow too.
Recent depiction by Brother Bjorn https://twitter.com/bjorn_brother
Despite Perun being the most well-known Slavic deity his modern iconography is rather problematic and the saddest thing is that the issue is just some being too lazy to read the sources even thought the latter have a description of an idol of his:
"Vladimir began to reign in Kiev alone, and put the idols on the hill behind the palace yard: wooden Perun with a silver head and golden mustache."
Primary Chronicle
We can argue what silver head means. Most likely a helmet, but some say that it’s grey hair. Perun was a Thunderer not a Shaman like Weles or Sky-Father like Dazbog, so him having old, grey hair makes no sense to me. We know that all Thunderers in Aryan traditions were red-haired. This description also mentioned no beard because ancient Slavs shaved off their beards and the only ones with bears were volkhvs.

But many of the Scythians live on milk as others do on wine. For some the bees, building their hives in rocks and oaks, prepare a delicious drink; and there are those who are not offended with the streams of the nymphs, but use spontaneous water for their drink. There is also, I think, a race of Scythians, who drink water indeed, but when they are in want of pleasure of intoxication raise a pyre on which they burn odoriferous herbs. Round this pyre they sit in a circle, as if it were a bowl, and feast on the smell as others do on drink; at length, becoming intoxicated with fragrance, they leap, and sing, and dance.

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?

"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.

Perun's weapon
If one makes a google search he sees countless depictions of Perun wielding an axe. This is completely wrong and easily proven to be so. The sources make it clear that the idol of Perun had a club in his hand:
And he [the idol] was thrown into Volhov. He [the idol] swam over [the pillars of] the Great Bridge, throwing a mace down on the bridge and saying: “Let Novgorodian children remember me with that”. Now crazy people fight themselves with clubs, entertaining demons.
Novgorod Fourth Chronicle
He also has a bow and uses it to shoot arrows at malicious spirits.
Tomorrow I will write on the proper iconography for one of the Slavic major Gods, namely Perun the Thunderer.
Here's an example of a completely inaccurate (albeit well-drawn) depiction.

Humans are ritual-building beings. Anthropologists have defined us as "tool-using animals" and as "time-binding animals", and even as "symbol-using animals". I will pass over the question of whether or not we are animals, but surely the building of rituals encompasses all three of these-a sense of time and symbols, as well as the ability to construct tools (spiritual ones, in this case). Evidence for deliberate ritual can be found in Neanderthal burial customs, so it’s clear we’ve been doing this sort of thing for a long time. For some reason, ritual innately appeals to us and it makes sense, then, that we ought to be doing it.
