Attempted to recreate a photo of my grandfather on Hartland point in 1949 using a crappy phone cam. Each was taken by our respective wives. Taken 76 years apart. The exact spot my grandmother stood to take the photo has eroded into the sea so this is as close as my wife could get without risking her life

This figure with a fylfot was discovered in Holmedal in Kvinnherad, Western Norway. Dated 6th-8th c. Some archaeologists think it would originally have been a mount on a sacrificial "hlaut" bowl.

The fylfot is a symbol of Odin and the sacrificial context, if correct, would reinforce the Odinic associations of this artefact.

I am accused by low IQ wignats of promoting “pajeet religion” and “pajeetifiying” our ancestors.

While low IQ hindutvas accuse me of “stealing” their ancestors or trying to “claim” their achievements. Even of “we wuzzing” (claiming to be descended from a group you are not descended from)

In reality I have never done any of these things. The claims are from a combination of liars and people who are too stupid to understand what I am saying.

They are as bad as the woke!

The talk which is included in this episode concerned the future of Heathenry and was addressed to a type of man he described as "The Spiritual Revolutionary".

A little based edit from the new documentary about the swastika

Survive the Jive: All-feed

21 Jan 2025 15:44

I was not aware of this recent paper - but it concludes, just as I did, that the swastika was related to the cult of Odin in the Viking age. It looks in more detail at some artefacts that I glossed over such as the Oseberg tapestry and others I did not.

It suggests an original solar significance of the sign in Gotland was transferred to the cult of Odin.

They refute the relationship between the swastika and Thor's hammer but assume there may be a more general relationship with the swastika and Thor.

They also incorrectly claim the swastika has an asian origin so the study is a bit flawed

A bronze escutcheon from an Anglo Saxon hanging bowl with a swastika design, found in East Hertfordshire, 7-8th Century.

Many hanging bowls feature Celtic-style decoration, and similar hanging bowls were found in Ireland, and in Viking sites in Norway. The Anglo Saxons may have enlisted Celtic craftsmen…or taken them as war trophies.

Bede’s Ecclesiastical History may reveal what they were used for;
“The king cared so much for the good of the people that, in various places where he had noticed clear springs near the highway, he caused stakes to be set up and bronze drinking bowls to be hung on them for the refreshment of travellers. No one dared to lay hands on them except for their proper purpose because they feared the king greatly nor did they wish to, because they loved him dearly.”

This could explain why so many hanging bowls were found in royal burials, including Sutton Hoo; a physical symbol of the king’s sacred hospitality. After all, stanza 4 of the Hávamál says one should give a guest water. ᛚ

For some reason Early Anglo-Saxons of the 5/6th century liked hanging bowls of Celtic manufacture. These sometimes display a Celtic art style that resembles the La Tene style from 500 years earlier. Additionally they are completely absent from the Celtic Western side of Britain (0 in cornwall/Devon, Wales) and are rare in Ireland (17) and Scotland (7) compared to Eastern England (117).

I believe these bowls were used for libation offerings, but this has not been proven. The Anglian king's burial at Sutton Hoo contained more than one Celtic hanging bowl, and one of them called bowl 2 is especially interesting because it had been recently modified with Germanic art added to it in the 6/7th century.

When I grew up, I learned about the prehistory of central and northern Europe from a Roman perspective. The Celts and Germans were mere barbarians who invaded civilised Rome and Greece with nothing but destruction in their hearts. From watching TV and movies, it seemed like the German tribes wore furs and lived in the woods.

It wasn't until much later that I discovered the incredible achievements of not only the Iron Age people but their Bronze Age ancestors, expressed in artefacts like stunning goldwork.

For thousands of years, these wealthy societies produced genius artists working in gold, especially from the Bell Beaker era onwards. They produced large and sometimes heavy wearable pieces, and also created the finest details with stamps and etching, and many other complex techniques requiring masterful working and annealing.

It's surprising how much gold survived from this era, considering how much must have been melted down in the centuries since after tomb raiding and accidental discovery.

Japeth people who think the CHG signal in PIE was from one of the 12 tribes of Israel or from descendants of Japeth need to understand the chronology.

The 12 tribes are supposed to have existed in the Bronze age 3200 years ago. Noah is supposed to have been born about 4350 years ago and his sons, including Japeth were said to have been born 500 years later. The flood is supposed to be around 4348 years ago.

The WSH racial group formed in eastern Europe 6500 years ago and its CHG component arrived in Europe before then.

Proto Semitic probably emerged in Levant or Arabia at same time PIE emerged from Ukraine but CHG was nothing to do with Proto-Semitic

There is no saving or patching up the biblical narrative with archaeogenetics. Europe is not part of the OT mythology

Shakespeare borrowed from Norse mythology.

Merchant of Venice – wherein a Jewish usurer named Shylock wants the payment owed of a pound of flesh, closest to heart, from Antonio. Portia tells Shylock that he may have the flesh but not a single drop of blood could be shed in the process. This saves Antonio and Shylock’s plans are thwarted.

In Norse mythology, there were two dwarf families who were accomplished craftsmen of fine metals, the brothers Sindri and the Sons of Ivaldi. They competed to make wonders for the gods at Loki’s request. Loki wagered his own head against the work of the Sindri dwarves.
Upon completion, each of the gifts received praises of the Gods. But those of Sindri clan were considered best. The dwarf Brokkr demanded his prize, Loki’s head, which he had wagered.
“Thy head is mine,” exclaimed Brokk, who prepared to cut it off.
“Thine indeed is the head, answered Loki, “but not the neck.”
Brokk appealed to the Gods, but they gave judgment that favoured Loki. They told Brokkr that he might take the head, but the neck he must not injure.

The copper bowl itself is Celtic in origin, perhaps centuries old. The circular and square motifs on the side contain typically Celtic art reminiscent of the ancient La Tene art that was no longer in use. The centre of the bowl also contained a fish which could spin around. This may have represented the salmon of wisdom from Celtic mythology.

But the bowl had been repaired - patched in one place with silver and etched with two birds (probably Woden's ravens). On the underside there is a circle of clearly Germanic knotwork from Style 2 which originates in Scandinavia. In the centre of the circle is a zoomorphic fylfot of the exact same kind found in contemporary finds from Sweden.

So the pagan English were acquiring these old, likely pagan, bowls from the Christian Britons and then modifying them with Odinic imagery so they could be used for Germanic pagan rituals. The trend spread from England to the rest of the Germanic world with 26 found in Norway, 2 in Sweden, 1 in Denmark and 4 in continental Germanic Europe.
