The contents of the Bronze age barrows were then believed to be “Celtic” and pertaining to the culture of Druids, when in fact they predate the arrival of true Celtic culture in Britain by more than 1500 years. The illustrations from over 250 years ago of beads, bones and fragments of Bell Beakers from the barrows are still easily recognisable as belonging to that early Indo-European culture.

En route to Avebury in 1721, in the Kennet valley he felt the need of a geological map
“I have often wished that a map of soils was accurately made, promising to myself that such a curiosity would furnish us with some new notions of geography, and of the theory of the earth, which has only hitherto been made from hypotheses.” The greatness of his work is based on this tendency towards maps, plans and drawings as in the precision of his drawings of Stonehenge and Avebury.

WS correctly perceived that the innumerable barrows dotted about southern England were of pre-Roman origin by their situation in relation to the Roman roads, either jutting over them or by their lack of proximity to them. He also correctly attributed many of the southern hill forts to the earlier Belgics, rather than the Romans.
William Stukeley first travelled to Stonehenge in early summer of 1719 with Roger and Samuel Gale. He wrote at the time

“The Wiltshire downs, or Salisbury plain, (as commonly call,d) for extent and beauty, is, without controversy, one of the most delightful parts of Britain. But of late years great encroachments have been made upon it by the plough, which threatens the ruin of this fine Champlain, and all of the monuments of antiquity thereabouts...And however I succeed in accounting for these wonderful works: at least. I shall be instrumental in preserving their memory, in giving just drawings of them.” Stukelev's book 'Stonehenge A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids' was first published in 1740.

Stukeley spent many weeks in the next five years accurately measuring, observing and recording. He concluded that Stonehenge was not of Roman origin as others supposed but that the measurements, in cubits, suggested an earlier civilisation. He believed it was a Temple to the Ancient Druids, built by immigrants from the near east, possibly Phoenicians, who had entered this country by the Promontorium Herculaneum, Hartland Point.

His belief that Stonehenge was built c. 500 BC and that Phoenicians were involved was wrong, but indeed it was built by people originating in the Near East (Anatolia), more like 2500 BC, although they had nothing to do with Druids or Phoenicians. His guesswork is still very impressive based on the limited resources at his disposal. Stukeley's accurate drawings of Stonehenge are still used by archaeologists to this day.

Dr.Stukeley is best known as the first person to discover the alignment of the stones with the midsummer and midwinter solstices. He also named the group of two upright stones topped by a horizontal lintel as a 'trilithon' (from the Greek for 3 stones). With Edmund Halley, the astronomer, he proposed that the builders of Stonehenge had aligned the stones with the magnetic north.

🚨 New Documentary 🚨

The swastika or FYLFOT was used by ancient Germanic peoples such as the Goths, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. But what did it mean? Some say it was a symbol of the sun, some think it was borrowed from the Romans. In this video I explain how the fylfot was actually connected to the cult of the god Wotan aka Odin.

Most of the time when you see people predicting the complexion, hair colour and eye colour of ancient people online, they are using Hirisplex to estimate it. But this test above makes it clear that while it is pretty accurate when it comes to eye colour, it confuses hair colour calling brown hair black and blonde hair red, and it gets skin colour wrong a lot, calling dark skin "very dark" and calling light skin "intermediate". FYI this technique was used to claim Cheddar man was "black" and that Yamnaya are "dark" - in reality the Yamnaya were no darker than Europeans are today.

NEW STJ FILM!

The rock art from the tomb of Bredarör at Kivik in Sweden is a window into the forgotten world of the Nordic Bronze Age. In this film I visited the great rock barrow with my mate The Golden One, and I interpret all the esoteric imagery, including; sun-wheels, solar crosses, war chariots, armed warriors and ritual axes and boats. With the latest archaeological data, 3D scans and new CGI animations of the art, this film gives a new perspective on a tomb which is 3400 years old!

A new paper on Goth and Suebians in Iberia. Suebian elites in Spain show almost entirely Northern European ancestry (92-95%). 14 Visigoth burial samples had greater than 80% Northwest European Ancestry (3 of which were full NW Euro). There were also 27 samples with mixed NW Euro and Iberian ancestry. Dates from 4-6th century.

The Germanics did not leave a genetic legacy in Iberia though

Happy Solmōnaþ!
(Sol-Month)

The name was recorded by the Christian Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede in his treatise De temporum ratione (The Reckoning of Time), saying that "Sol-Monath can be said to be the month of cakes, which were offered to their Gods"

In Old English, “Sol” is mostly used to refer to soil or mud. Implying that this month is sacred to the Earth-Mother Goddess.
However, this could only be one of the meanings of the word in this context. “Sol” is also believed to mean “cake” and can perhaps be linked to the English custom known as souling. In this tradition one would go house to house and sing songs where the guests would be gifted “soul cakes” in exchange for prayers. This tradition is usually credited to be Christian, but as with most Christian traditions, this one may indeed be Pagan.

So be sure to give an offering of cakes to the Earth-Mother.

“Throughout my 30 years of working with the runes, they have taken on various aspects depending on who I was and what I was doing at the time. The best way I can try to explain them is almost as their own organisms that live symbiotically with the individual who has chosen to “take them up.”

Advisors, sages, teachers - but also sometimes potent forces of upheaval and reorganization, acting almost like a powerful hallucinogen can, to forcibly show a different perspective that may at first feel completely foreign or uncomfortable.

At other times, they seem to be like trees planted on the estate. They grow, spread root and leaf widely, and spring from small seeds, become saplings, and eventually, mighty giants that we have grown alongside and know by name and appearance, as well as the countless layers of experience we have with them.

Like the rings of a tree, the rune is a series of many circles, concentric, expanding, leading us wider and wider and then back in to the heart. They are repositories of deep, hidden information, as well as storage vessels of things that we do not wish to forget…”

They treated the deceased respectfully, covering them up again after excavating and documenting the contents. Then they excavated another barrow and documented sacrificial animal remains inside.

Born in the 17th century, the man dubbed the saviour of Stonehenge, who first realised its solstice alignment, an early archaeologist who preserved and documented many of Britain’s Neolithic megalithic monuments, correctly realised they were pre-Roman and led some of the first proper excavations of Indo-European barrows. William Stukeley FRS FSA was an occultist, freemason LARPing as a druid!

Originally an Anglican clergyman, his antiquarianism led him to a career as a pioneering archaeologist. This fascination with the past cannot be separated from his unusual religious beliefs. He was a Freemason, influenced by Pythagoreanism and Neoplatonism. but believed that this was consistent with the beliefs of the ancient Druids who he thought had acquired the True Religion of monotheism from Phoenician traders in antiquity.

In 1722, he founded the Society of Roman Knights, devoted to the study of Roman era Britain. The Knights each took a name from the Celtic period, Stukeley's was "Chyndonax"

Óðinn Worship in Christian Sweden

-Saints, Peasants and Warriors
-The Case of Eric Clauesson
-The Case of Ragvald Odenskarl
-Norse Paganism in the Middle Ages

During the Middle Ages, Óðinn worship continued in Sweden post-conversion. The court trials of Eric Clauesson (d. 1492) and Ragvald Odenskarl (d. 1484) provide a great insight into the way Óðinn worship evolved in 15th century Sweden.

New preprint from Perretti et al has this figure for Bronze Age European complexions. The colour used to represent “dark” is darker than most Indians, all native Americans, South East Asians and Arabs. They made it as dark as people from Central Africa and South India.

You really expect people to believe 1/4 of BA Britons were as dark as that and 1/4 were as light as we are now? That kind of extreme variance in one homogeneous population on a cloudy cold North Atlantic island?

Bede tells us that the second moon of the Anglo-Saxon heathen year was called Solmōnaþ meaning “Sun month”. This marks the returning power of the sun goddess known in English as Sunne and in Norse as Sól and explains the Old English word for Lent, Lencten which means “lengthening” in reference to the lengthening of the days at this time of year.
Bede wrote that Sol month was the month of flat cakes which the heathen English gave in offering to their gods - presumably to Sunne specifically. These round sun cakes became the English Christian tradition of pancake day celebrated at the start of Lent.

In this video I put forward my beliefs about Odin and Galdr. I do not think that Odin got galdra from the waters of memory via Mimmir although it is tempting to see Mimir as his unnamed uncle, rather i think he got galdra from his uncle while hanging on Yggdrasil. It is possible his uncle also gave him the runes. Runes and galdra are related in an obscure way which I explain here.
