Lots of stereotypes about peoples are based on factual observations that are generalised, but some are completely false. If you look at the false ones, you may notice a pattern - many are the exact opposite of reality and are perpetuated by media depictions rather than people's lived experiences:

-British people have bad teeth (better dental health than most western countries inc. USA)
-France is cowardly in war (they win far more wars than America for eg)
-Rural white Americans are inbred (among the least inbred in the world)
-British aristocracy are inbred (also among the least inbred in the world)
-Blondes are less intelligent (Europe-wide increased levels of blondism correlate with higher IQ)

Other negative stereotypes about the above groups are based on actual realities, even if they aren't necessarily always representative, such as:

-British people have bad food
-Americans are fat

But these sorts of stereotypes derive from historic interactions between peoples leading to such generalisations. The ones above do not - they were manufactured. Think about why.

A little late for Halloween, however, the discussion here is on Hell and the Heavens and there is never a wrong time to discuss death, afterlife, and rebirth, especially in fall and winter. As stated before it took me a while to share this one as I always fully listen and vet what I am hearing or reading regardless of the source. Of course as per usual with STJ's videos this is a must watch and summarizes a lot of things I have written about in posts or in my books. In my opinion this video should be watched as a part of any Pagan doctrine or teaching / practice. https://youtu.be/exlcT_iL9-U

In my 2018 film Aryans to Empire I met Pete Raj, a man from the Dravidian Adivasi tribe known as the Toda who dwell in the beautiful Nilgiri hills. They were during the Raj, and still are pro-British and refer to the Indians as an other from themselves. He proved such a popular character that several memes circulated in response to the film including one of him wearing a skull mask and another in reference to the Buffalo worship of the Toda people.

And I just want to make it clear that….

There is no population in Asia who has Indo-European ancestry on par with the highest levels in Europe.

The highest levels of IE ancestry in Asia are found in the Yaghnobi people of Tajikistan.

They have 40% Sintashta ancestry which translates to 28% “Yamnaya”/Indo European ancestry.

But this is still not close to the highest levels in Europe.

In fact, most populations in Europe have more IE ancestry than this.

Southern European populations with “low levels” of IE ancestry for Europe, such as Spanish, have as much or more IE ancestry as the populations with the highest levels in Asia.

Here be dragons! In recent times the White Dragon became a symbol of English ethnicity. The OE word for dragon was draca and places where dragons dwelled, upon their gold-hoards, still bear the name drake.

In Godalming, that part of Surrey home to many heathen sites, we find a Drakehill or Dragon hill. Drake North in Wiltshire was once þes dracenhorde or the dragon's hoard. As one would expect, dragons slept in barrows leaving us many place names which reflect this - Dragley in Ulverton was once spelt Drakelow meaning dragon's mound. We also find a Drakelow in Bedfordshire, Derbyshire and Worcestershire. In Surrey Dragberry was once Drakeberghe (OE draca + beorg) again meaning the dragon's mound.

Pictured above is one of the most famous dragon hills in England, Dragon Hill near the Uffington white horse.

***WARNING to my pagan friends***
I’d advise you to block this page, “The Heathen Eye.” Far as I can tell, they’re some kind of self-appointed leftist pagan police force, who go after those who don’t share their universalist views.
They seem to have taken an interest in me, and looking through their page, they’ve been following my page for a while, looking for ammunition. They were bragging about sending Folkish posts to the police, but unfortunately for them, I don’t live in a place like the UK where people get arrested for offending people with tweets. However, I know this isn’t the case for all of you, so it’d probably be wise to block them.
But first, you should check if any of your mutuals like or follow them. You really can’t be too careful these days. Another friend of mine was recently mobbed by leftist trolls after someone saw a fylfot on his page and sent out a rallying cry.

…needless to say, if these are friends of yours, do fuck off. ---Arngrim Ingvarsson

If I were asked what I consider the most important discovery which has been made during the nineteenth century, with respect to the ancient history of mankind, I should answer by the following short line:

Sanskrit Dyaus Pitr = Greek Zeus Pater = Latin Jupiter = Old Norse Tyr.

Think what this equation implies! It implies not only that our own ancestors and the ancestors of Homer and Cicero (the Greeks and Romans) spoke the same language as the people of India – this is a discovery, which however incredible it sounded at first, has long ceased to cause any surprise – but it implies and proves that they all had once the same faith, and worshipped for a time the same supreme Deity under exactly the same name- a name which meant Heaven Father.

New paper on pre-Yamnaya interactions between PIE steppe people and Neolithic Europeans to their West. Main takeaways:

- Steppe cultures adopted farming from Europeans not from Caucasians or Middle Easterners
- Cucuteni Trypyllia culture pottery was also influenced in return by steppe pottery
- “Proto Yamnaya” Sredny Stog was the steppe culture with early contacts with EEF
- geneflow between the two is here considered likely (although amateur geneticists already know this def happened)
- Steppe admix in Trypillia is one of the reasons to believe the Anatolian admix in the Steppe comes from European farmers not from the Caucasus.
- Reich and co BTFO once again. PIE is European.

For a while me and others thought the Kalash people of Pakistan had really high levels of Indo-European ancestry on par with the highest levels in Europe (~50%).

But we now know this is wrong.

Kalash actually only have around 21% Indo European ancestry.

But, there are still people online claiming the Kalash have as much Indo-European ancestry as northern Europeans.

I actually just watched a new video created by someone on youtube claiming this.

So I want to make it clear to you guys that this is not the case.
