Yes another phenotype prediction for WHG indicates they had blonde hair.
None of the different methods for predicting ancient phenotypes are 100% reliable which is why they have conflicting results
I am informed the picture I used of Bedouins is darker than average so WHG complexion would be much closer to that of the Druze man than the Bedouin women I pictured
Читать полностью…NEW GARMENTS: The ALU ODIN range features a design from the Funen bracteate, slightly modified to resemble other similar bracteates which feature Odin. The runes on the bracteate are magical and invoke Odin as "houaz" which is Odin as the "High" and there is also the ALU magical inscription. The runes beneath the design invoke him again: "ALU GOD / HOUAZ / WODINAZ" all of which are attested runic invocations of Odin from bracteates. Available on hoodies, t shirts, vests etc..

A Wolf Age?
The third line of the following passage in Völuspá is invariably translated as 'A Wind Age, a Wolf Age', referring to the current age of strife (cognate with the Puranic Kali Yuga).
'skeggjöld, skálmöld
skildir 'ru klofnir
vindöld, vargöld
áðr veröld steypisk'
However, vargr was only one of two Old Norse words meaning 'wolf' - the other being ulfr. Vargr had the double-meaning of 'wolf' and 'outlaw/criminal', which could suggest that the prophecy's more accurate message was that we would live through an Outlaw Age, or Criminal Age, rather than a Wolf Age.
As a wolf-appreciator (I have a wolf head tattooed on my neck), this makes more sense to me. There's nothing intrinsically negative about the wolf, whilst there is something undeniably criminal about modern society.

Not much is known of early steppe clothing but thankfully there were enough remains of a cap from the Yamnaya derived Catacomb culture to give as an insight on what they may of wore. It was coned shaped with three rows of beads interwoven into the wool headdress. The beads are thought to be possibly made locally and materials used were bronze, faience, and mother of pearl.

By viewing barrows and runestones as evidence of a stratified society, and weapon injuries on bodies as evidence of violence, this study concludes that Viking age Denmark was more civilised than Norway which was far more violent.

It is not a requirement for sacrifice and worship to be a grand affair.
If we follow the traditions of our forebears and uphold them. We will know our Gods and receive Their blessings.
McNair described the Kafirs as "incessantly engaged in petty warfare with the Mahommedans" but "exceedingly well disposed towards the British."

The course teaches you how to construct Heathen prayers for yourself, not according to the established rites of any modern group, but according to what historical sources show.
Starting Heathenry assumes you are interested in Germanic paganism, know about the gods and myths, and want to begin practising this religion, but require guidance on how to do so. It is based on a micro-learning structure which is proven to improve knowledge retention by 18-80% in students compared to other learning methods. The 10 lessons include over 50 videos, and quizzes to access from your phone or computer.
Access more than 5 hours of learning material bit by bit, as you please. A modern method of learning about an ancient religion.

NEW STUDY: Spatial organisation within the earliest evidence of post-built structures in Britain by Bates et al.
New research on the Mesolithic site of Star Carr, North Yorkshire, has revealed that Western European Hunter-Gatherer homes were highly organised.
-Social norms and behaviours influenced the spatial organisation of different spaces.
-The WHG organised their homes into specific activity zones, suggesting a structured approach to domestic life similar to modern home organisation, despite their nomadic nature.
-A range of activities were likely to have taken place inside the home, including wood, bone, antler, plant, hide, meat, and fish-related work.
Researcher Bates says 'not only do we now know that hunter-gatherers were constructing these dwellings, but they had a shared group understanding of how to organise tasks within them.'

This video clams mugwort was used by Anglo Saxons for inducing prophetic dreams but afaik that isn’t the case. Prophetic dreams are induced through the technique described in this video.

ON: Vargr and OE: Warg both come from PGermanic: *wargaz which meant both "wolf" (in its negative sense) and also "criminal"
*wargaz is thought to have some relation to PGermanic: *argaz, the derivatives of which include:
OE: earg "cowardly"
ON: argr "unmanly, effeminate, cowardly"
OHG: arg "bad, wicked, godless"

Although it is considered a problematic assumption, I think that the old ways of the Australian abo reveal a lot about how our ancestors in Europe lived in the stone age.
In this old film you can see them knapping quartz, making stone axes, making rock art including blown hand reliefs just like in European cave art, drinking blood, and harvesting kangaroo sinews to make strings

Today is Lammas or Hlafmæsse for many folk. Hlafmæsse means the loaf-mass. Our modern word for lord comes from hlāford or hlāfweard meaning loaf-guardian. Our word for lady comes from hlǣfdīġe or the loaf-kneader and finally the servant, who was the hlāf-ǣta or loaf eater!
Читать полностью…The key to understanding the Indo-European language family was finally uncovered by a Welshman, William Jones, in the 18th century. But earlier Europeans came close too. The Germanic peoples understood that for eg. Norse and English descended from a common tongue (Proto-Germanic) and the Romans knew that Latin was related to Greek and Celtic. This video documents some of the early evidence for Europeans noticing these linguistic relationships. https://youtu.be/cZtEPcYCTrU?feature=shared

The revolting Olympic ceremony is apparently being justified as a Dionysian ritual. But it didn’t resemble one at all.
The frenzied followers of Dionysus were known in Greek as Maenads, Latin Bacchae. They tore animals apart, danced with snakes, carried special staffs with pine cones and leaves on. The women wore the skins of foxes on their heads.
All i saw in the Paris ceremony was a lot of transvestites and such degenerates wearing too much make up. Nothing to do with Dionysus at all!

In the woods near Munich stands a statue of our god Wotan carved in 1874 by Heinrich Natter. It is missing an arm and rather eroded but is still an historical and, for Heathens, holy monument.
Communists have now vandalised the monument in an act of blatant religious hatred and direct provocation.
