A Norwegian record from the mid-19th century tells of a certain Gunnhild Reinsnos, a simple, uneducated elderly peasant woman. The record describes how she sometimes went out at night to fish. Once, "the catch was so good that it was not long before Gunnhild had enough fish to cook for the whole week," the record says, "then she wrapped the line around the rod and said: 'now shall Njord be thanked for this', Njord was associated with the sea, weather and fishing in the Old Norse tradition. This record, which is thus an authentic family history from Hardanger, shows that some Scandinavians were still giving thanks to this deity in an everyday way as late as 150 years ago. And if something as concrete as a god's name could have been preserved in the common people 850 years after the official change of religion, it is perhaps not entirely impossible that certain fundamentals and attitudes survived longer than that.

English pagans referred to pride as modignes (cognate with modern moodiness) from mod which refers to bravery, heart, spiritedness and the mind itself. State of mod was used to convey emotion as well as vibes/energy in poetic ways.

When Christians needed to make a word for the sin of pride, they chose ofermod “too-brave”. This refers to people who overestimate their abilities and was very misleading for the English pagans as that is not at all what is meant by pride as sin in Christian theology.

An intriguing harness mount from Vendel, Sweden, with two Salin-I style wolves with bearded faces on their thighs. Similar motifs appear featuring a bird of prey with an often one-eyed face. It could depict Freki and Geri, and/or Gods in disguise; in the Hrafnagaldr Óðins, Odin disguises Iðunn as a wolf.

In the Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss, the titular character’s son Gestr initially resists conversion when he meets Olaf Tryggvason. He eventually gives in, but he’s confronted by the angry spirit of his father on the night after his baptism, and he dies the next morning.

“The next night after Gestr was baptised he dreamed that Bárðr, his father, came to him and said:
“You have done ill when you gave up your faith, the faith of your ancestors, and allowed yourself to be cowed by paltry arguments into submission to a change of faith. And for that you shall suffer the loss of both of your eyes.”

Early Anglo Saxon converts were sometimes sent to spend the night at a burial mound to test their newfound faith. This may have been a greater test than it seems…their ancestors within may have wanted a word.

That Yamnaya spoke PIE is certain: this is not based, as @BronzeAgePalaestra has assumed in his recent podcast, merely on the fact that their autosomal genetic signal (termed WSH) spreads exactly in time with how linguists estimate the spread of IE languages into Armenia, Anatolia, West Europe, India etc.

However, even that is far greater evidence than he realises because the linguistic dating of the early IE language families corresponds to early break aways from the core archaeological culture (Afanasievo speaking the root language of Tocharian for eg).

Nor is the Yamnaya archaeological complex some loosely affiliated group of tribes with no certain connection of culture- they are defined by a shared funerary ritual which is a clear indicator of a shared culture. The archaeological developments associated with their lifestyle (pastoralism, wagon mobility, horse riding, intense dairying) spread fast and with their expanding kinship network. There was an example of a skeleton from the Altai and another from Slovakia separated by over 5000 km but the two men were cousins! - DNA shows more than ethnic makeup, it shows kinship networks and the close relationship of the people associated with not only Yamnaya, but also derived archaeological cultures like Afansievo in Asia.

Another clincher is horse dna. All domestic horses after yamnaya are from theirs which are termed DOM2 horses. This shows that this people were more influential on the early spread of equestrianism than any other and when we see the terms for equestrianism are usually PIE derived we should naturally associate PIE with Yamnaya,

Another is archeo-linguistics which matches the technological innovations in the archaeological records to the first reconstructed IE words for them. Words for things like the (domestic) horse, wheel and axel limit which cultures can be identified as PIE since the correct archaeological culture needs to have all of these things as well as being dated to the 3rd or 4th millenium BC.

Mythic comparison also shows a clear PIE concern with cows and cattle rustling which indicates a pastoralist culture with mobile wealth. The first truly nomadic pastoralist culture was the Yamnaya - previous cultures had to have much smaller herds which they were not able to easily move around. Again, a strong piece of evidence pointing to Yamnaya as PIE.

Archaeological traits associated with the spread of IE language speakers and practitioners of IE religions include barrows, wagon (later on chariot) burials and horse sacrifices. So the parent culture had to have all these and the first culture with all of the above together is Yamnaya who took them from preceding steppe cultures.

The problem of Yamnaya that I and others have had is, contrary to BAP who prefers Drews' outdated model of a 2nd millennium BC expansion of PIE rather than a 3rd mil BC, that the Yamnaya expansion of the early 3rd mil BC makes it too LATE. According to the model most linguists prefer, PIE is around 6000 years old so Yamnaya (starting ~5300 years BP) is a bit too young which is why I prefer it’s parent culture Sredny stog (6500-5500 years old) as the initial PIE from which the Anatolian branch broke off prior to the mass adoption of the wheel on the steppe (hence the word for wheel being absent in Anatolian languages).

Yamnaya and Corded ware are the late PIE speaking material cultures associated with the spread of IE languages and religions in the 3rd mil BC. A wealth of evidence from various unrelated disciplines all point to this, which is why Yamnaya was proposed as PIE long before any genetic evidence existed.

A new study on the genetics of pony breeds finds that Western ponies including the Shetland pony, Connemara pony, Icelandic horse, Miniature horse, and Falabella all share a closer genetic relationship to East Asian horses like the Debao pony than to European horses. They also have paternal lineages linking them to Eastern horses. They infer potential geneflow from Yakutian horses into the ancestors of European ponies.

This, they propose, is not to imply that ponies have a separate origin from domestic horses. Rather they claim that most modern ponies descend from an ancient pony-sized lineage, related to the Yakutian horse but also originating in Yamnaya DOM2 horses from Eastern Europe's steppe.

The Neolithic stone rows which began in Brittany and are also found in Britain in places like Dartmoor are so often associated with hills and with other megalithic monuments that many conclude they were procession paths leading up hill towards stone circles and tombs.

However at Yelland, Devon, there was an example of a stone row discovered in an estuary marsh and it pointed towards the estuary mouth. The stones have subsequently sunk into the silt since being discovered in the 19th century.
