A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
Unlike Achilles at Troy, Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece, or Theseus on Crete, Herakles was not associated exclusively or primarily with a single great undertaking, a single myth, or even cycle of myth. From infancy to sudden death while still in his prime, his life itself was like a grand myth cycle, encompassing countless incidents and adventures, ups and downs, triumphs and suffering.

A well-known anecdote from Strabo describes how the sculptor Pheidias designed his masterpiece, the great statue of Zeus in the sanctuary of Olympia, as a reflection of three verses from Homer’s Iliad. The most prestigious and authoritative cult image of the high god is there presented as the solid shape of epic verse, one medium appropriating the other, a massive monument of stone carved out of a great monument of poetry. The story is part of a recurrent trope of Greek literature concerning the prevalence of early epic poetry on the religious imagination of the other arts.

Funny how those people are convinced they are the underdog despite being supported by the biggest corporations and political parties in the world. Meanwhile the hateful alt right right boogeyman barely has enough money to pay rent.
It’s a very christian perpetual victim mentality. Women and fags are very prone to it.
The Cailleach Garavogue is most associated with Cairn T, which was known locally as The Hag's Cairn. The huge decorated kerbstone on the north side of the cairn is called the Hag's Chair, and there are many accounts in both antiquarian writings and local folklore of Garavogue sitting upon her throne surveying her landscape as she smoked her pipe.
Eugene Conwell's illustration of the neolithic artwork on the Hag's Chair
When Eugene Conwell began digging at Loughcrew in 1863 and realised the enormous body of engravings housed there, he invited his friend the geologist George DuNoyer to illustrate the stones. DuNoyer left us a valuable record, as many of the stones within unroofed chambers have weathered badly since the 1860's.

It is believed that Laeghaire did not become a Christian.
He died at Tara, and was buried in one of the mounds there, standing and fully armed, facing the south.

The Hill of Uisneach, in Westmeath, was, in pagan times, the site of a national assembly distinctly legislative in character. It was at one such assembly, held there about one hundred years before the birth of Christ, that a uniform law of distress for the whole country was adopted. Uisneach has been the site of many political conferences since then, but I have met with no account of an assembly there, purely legislative, since the nation became Christian.

The pagan Irish were wont to go on warlike expeditions to Britain and Gaul, and on their return to bring home, along with other booty, some of the natives whom they reduced to slavery in Ireland. It was in this way Saint Patrick was brought to Ireland...

Milo of Croton, a Greek wrestler from southern Italia who trained for the Olympics by carrying a calf daily until it grew into an adult cow. This legend is an ancient example of a well-known workout technique called progressive overload. He was well known for his athletic triumphs and became a folk hero after leading the people of Croton to a military victory over the neighboring city of Sybaris.
Folk heros such as these teach valuable lessons, both in antiquity and today in our Grand Revival
Traditionalism™ is anything but traditional. It was created by a modern man who was openly against any Pagan revival. Read his Against the Neo-Pagans essay if you need proof.
The fact that a clique of pseudo-intellectuals has managed to creep their way into Pagan circles is disgusting, but lack of gatekeeping has always been a problem for modern heathenry. We are fixing it, but the process is slow.
Hate and Love
Hate is not the opposite of love. You can’t hate if you don’t love, because they are two sides of the same coin. That’s why soulless golems call you a hater and whine about stopping hate. They can’t feel it, because they are socially engineered bugmen. Their fake love is so universal it waters down into nothing but empty sentiment. If you love your people you must hate their enemies. If you love order you must hate chaos. That is how Gods made men. But there are those who want to twist and prevent the Godly design, to create an anti-man. And they are the ones who are against hate.
Wiccan shitty, gynocentric, body-positive poetry. And some don’t get why we call it an occult form of feminism.

The Moirai appear because it is they who bring together the partners to a marriage; one’s marriage choice is part of one’s destiny (more perhaps in the sense of the fixed contours of one’s life than of anything predetermined). At the moment of childbirth too they are present.

^ jews really screwed up when they wrote that christian god is omnipotent. A being who has all the power and knows everything is just too absurd of a concept. Imagine being a writer commissioned to make up a story featuring such a being. There’s absolutely nothing the christian god has to do because both Gods and men only do stuff to gain more power. So christian god is either insane or not all powerful.

Loughcrew is a range of picturesque hills, three miles south-east of Oldcastle.
Here, within the radius of a rifle-shot, may be seen grouped together the most extraordinary collection of archaic monuments to be found in the kingdom.
These fascinating structures are cairns of stone ringed with kerbstones which are formed of large erratic blocks placed on end.
Sometimes you just see an image and wonder which has gone mad, me or the world?

Maighin digona was the name of a precinct of sanctuary secured by the law around the dwelling-house of every clansman, within which the owner and his family and property were inviolable.
The English saying that every Englishman’s house is his castle, is an illustration of the spirit that prompted the maighin digona.

There does not appear to have been at any time in ancient Ireland one fixed form of oath or manner of swearing in legal proceedings. The Brehon Laws not tell us much of how our pagan fathers swore. There is no doubt at all that they did swear; and, if writings not of a legal character to be trusted, they swore on solemn occasions by the sun, moon, wind, and other elements, the dew, the crops, and the countenances of men. Ugaine Mór, before his death in a.m. 4606, “exacted oaths, by all the elements visible and invisible, from the men of Erinn in general that they would never contend for the sovereignty of Erinn with his children or his race."

Will again do a little dive into Pagan Gaelic practices and belief. I know most of my readers are more interested in Germanic tradition, but the latter is already explored enough by many good channels.
