I was surprised to see the village of Boxford, a place I used to get drunk with friends as a youth, is in the news. An oak Mesolithic "totem pole" used by WHG in their rituals was found in peat. Dated between 4640BC and 4605BC, it is the oldest decoratively carved timber found in Britain. These timbers were set in post holes much like the Megalithic monuments that the first farmers would build when they arrived later, and they are sometimes found on the same sites, hinting that monuments like Stonehenge may have been a continuation of a WHG custom.

Seven early christucks owned by one Pagan

Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, “I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.
Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them, got the better of them, and so violently overpowered all of them that they fled out of the house naked and bruised.

So a male headband may not have been as much of a taboo as some claim when it comes to Slavic lands.
Though it is true that by the time Vladimir Dal (a famous lexicographer) was writing his Explanatory Dictionary (19th century) the only ones wearing decorated headbands were women and that was probably the case for 3-5 centuries before that.

I personally find them esthetically pleasing and functional when it comes to long hair.

So, superficially it does seem that males of Ancient Ruse never wore decorated headbands. But, we know that in Scandinavia it was somewhat common.
Examples from Gisli saga:

king gave him a robe of honour, and golden-seamed gloves, and a fillet with a knot of gold on it, and a Russian hat.

a round buckler, and a silken band round his brow, and his hair was brushed back behind his ears.

one man who had a scarlet cloak over his shoulders, and a gold band round his head, and an axe studded with silver in his hand.

Ochelie is a term historically sed for female headbands. This is clear in the sources. But, again, modern Pagans call male headbands ochelie too. This is indeed inaccurate.

The more I have come to value the unique nature of my own, European-descended people, the more I have come to appreciate other peoples and cultures. While this appreciation comes to some extent from the things we share as part of our common humanity, this is not the whole story. Indeed, it is our differences that I value more than our similarities. Differences are good, and ought to be respected and preserved. Blending human cultures into a miso-mash of "diversity" destroys the flavor, the unique quality of all of them.

From the beginning of the Asatru resurgence in America, we have been very open in our practice. We have allowed outsiders to attend, to take photographs, and to take part. I believe that this was a mistake, and I have been guilty of it myself. There is a difficult balance here. On the one hand, we need to give people some idea of what we do. Secrecy builds distrust, and people’s imagination will fill in the gaps with all sorts of fantasies, most of them unpleasant. Nevertheless, it is vital to protect the dignity of what we do and to maintain an awareness that this faith is ours, not something that can be expropriated by passersby.

I visited Brittish Museum in London so I m sharing some of the things that intriged me. This one was found in the river Schelde (Scaldis) in Flanders, Belgium. My absolute favorite ship figure head. Allthough the description of the museum alludes to a possible Roman influence, other historians pointed out this is likely of Germanic making. Saxons and Frisians and Frankish tribes were well established in late Roman era in these parts.

Conversion was superficial at best. There were Pagan priests, shrines and rituals all over the countryside (hence the term pagan itself). Ethnography confirms the complete lack of christian belief outside (sometimes even inside) the cities in Europe as late as 19th c.

Nagoloven is a term which was used for male headbands, but those were not decorated and purely utilitarian. It was also worn regularly only by a rare few men who had to move their head a lot while working like wool beaters and coopers.

Slavic male (?) headbands

Pseudo experts will always attack something popular regardless of legitimacy. Often they’ll bother to throw some short, memorable insults, mostly in meme format. Today we will examine one such case. Anti-headband.
Since various decorated headbands are popular among modern Pagans there are those who go against this. Female ones are supposedly fine, but there is an argument against male headbands. They say that hippie movement is the real origin of this accessory.

Primary Chronicle recorded the following myth:

There were three brothers: one was called Kyi, the other Shchek and the third Khoriv, and their sister was called Lybed. And they founded a stronghold in the name of their eldest brother and named it Kyiv.

First Novgorod Chronicle, contains a further fragment:

They were pagans, they made offerings to lakes, springs and forests, like other pagans.
