“Sweden's largest burial mound, the ancient site of Anundshög outside Västerås, has been subjected to systematic looting with metal detectors.

Over 50 pits have been found, most of them in ship burials, and the looting has taken place in places that are less visible from the road.”

NEW EPISODE — Radio North Sea International — Holy Europe

A review of the critically acclaimed travelogue by Finnish Heathen Aki Cederberg. Aki's Holy Europe is an exploration of the sometimes revived, sometimes dormant but ever present European soul. He goes to Germany, Sweden, Iceland, Lithuania, France, Spain and Portugal in search of something that must be recovered.

This reconstruction of a longhouse at Tisso in Denmark is white because there is archaeological evidence that the wattle and daub walls had been painted white.

Whitewash was widely used on peasant cottages around Europe since medieval times at least. While longhouses in other regions could be built of wood instead of daub, it is likely they were all painted.

It is unfortunate that most reconstructions have no paint at all as this gives a very misleading impression of the past.

A relevant quote from the paper:

Dutch coastal areas see a habitation hiatus around 1600 BP and
822 subsequent appearance of a new material culture that is often referred to as Anglo-Saxon in
823 nature 82, mirroring the genetics and timing of the Late Iron Age, linguistically West-
824 Germanic Frisians in this dataset. In addition, we find that the Southern Scandinavian
825 ancestry of these migrating populations is better modelled by individuals near Southern rather
826 than the Northern Jutland, and that the migrating populations often carry varying but minor
827 proportions of ENS ancestry, inherited from the earlier people who previously lived in the
828 region. In contrast to previous studies, which relied on Scandinavian samples postdating the
829 Migration Period 47, we can now reject the Danish Isles and Sweden as a source area for the
830 Anglo-Saxons in Britain, as these were dominated by Eastern Scandinavian ancestry prior to
831 the Viking Age (Figure 6).

With the novel Orchestra method the authors determined that “(Scandinavian) ancestry was particularly enriched in the East of England and East Midlands, where we also found the highest density of former tentative Viking settlements, inferred as settlement names ending in -by, -thorpe or -toft, confirming previous reports of Scandinavian hotspots in Eastern England”

The same method estimates Ashkenazi Jews are close to 70% Roman (Italian) which means they, like Sicilians, basically are living representatives of Imperial era Roman citizens who were a mix of Italian and Near Eastern migrant

There are not many good prayers for Baldr on the internet. Many assume he is a sun god, which is something I respectfully disagree with. If you wish to pray to the god of the bale fire on tonight's full moon, you can use some variant of this template prayer I have made.

PHOL! PHOL! PHOL!
Son of Odin,
Frigg’s proudest boast,
Wisest Oss, and most eloquent,
Who's fair white face is famed,
Hear now this prayer!
You, Oh bright one, who dwelt in Breiðablik,
Are pure in every way, unstained by shame,
None may question your judgement,
Though now you, brave prince, from the curved crest,
Of calves’ kin’s skull, sip the water of the victory women,
In the hall of the barrow’s warder.
Pyre god! Höðr’s unintended victim!
Slain by a slender dart, Baldr’s bane, a young sprout
Felled you, oh bleeding god,
And caused all the world to weep!
Your wyrd, Oh famous and fair Oss, thus fixed,
You shall be by your youngest brother avenged,
And Vali’s foe shall join you, in gloomy Hel’s hall,
Until, Odin’s brave son, the prophecy of the Volva is fulfilled,
then you and your blind brother, to Asgard shall return!
May you soon be borne from Hel, oh brightest prince,
As swiftly as the sun of houses, reaches up to the moon’s way!
Accept now, oh Shining god of the wind’s brother,
The windless wave of the bull’s spear,
And relieve us of our need,
….(state needs and ask for help before offering libations at the fire)

Phol and Wodan were riding to the grove, and the foot of Balder's foal was sprained.

So conjured Sinthgunt, Sunna her sister, So conjured Frija, Volla her sister, so Wodan conjured it, as well he could:

An artistic representation I put together of a Yamnaya chieftain inspired by the famous Kernosivsky Stelae. Weapons featured took reference from archeology and the stelae and the belt buckle is from the Catacomb culture. I gave him a pointed beard like the stelae and braids because of the hair rings found in archeology. The face is from my latest Yamnaya artistic reconstruction. I used photo bashing techniques and some other tools to merge together different images with some major photo editing (this took days to get right). I am quite please with how it turned out. I look forward to using it to bring other ancient cultures to life.
