The author Nigel Pennick calls the swastika a symbol of Woden. It's certainly a symbol that is connected with the runic formula ALU and appears not only on the gold Bracteates (along with ALU and ravens) but also the burial urns found in England (along with the ALU formula). Woden is a god of the dead.

Bracteates are gold amulets which may be connected to the Proto-Germanic *aluh which means amulet. In OE the formula could mean ale or ealu (why we use both ale and mead during our hearth's rituals - depending on the blot). One bracteate spells the word Wodinas in runes along with a swastika.

The inclusion of ravens in the imagery of the 'Alugod's' head/hair shows the Alu-god to be Woden. The Greek word ἀλύω or alúō means 'to wander in the mind' and is cognate with the Latin alūcināri meaning 'to dream', whilst also being the root of the word hallucinate. Though these words are non-Germanic they do remind me of the concept of Wod.

I believe that the Alugod is clearly Woden and that the swastika is his symbol.

Credit to STJ for first suggesting this idea.

This preprint from Harvard uses a new ancIBD method to determine the relationship between Corded Ware and Yamnaya. Unsurprisingly they find that ¼ of CW ancestry comes from GAC. The other ¾ shares recent co-ancestry with Yamnaya of late 3rd millennium BC and this, they claim, is evidence against “the hypothesis that the steppe ancestry in the Corded Ware primarily reflects an origin in as-of-now unsampled cultures genetically similar to the Yamnaya”

This is important for Harvard’s house of cards theory regarding PIE not being from Sredny Stog. I am not clear as to whether this cousin matching method reliably precludes a common Sredny Stog origin, or whether it can be confused by more recent intermarriage between CW and Yamnaya.

This article title is example of the misconception that Indo-Europeans were not from Europe.

“Steppe people swept INTO Europe.”

No, they didn’t. They already lived in Europe.

The mainstream talks about Indo-Europeans like they were Mongolian-esq nomads from Asia who "swept into Europe."

There may be evidence that not only the Yamnaya but perhaps the Sredny Stog also rode horses. This interesting article by the Museum Scythian Blog by Cooper Axe argues that a burial in Hungary of a man buried in a steppe like tradition may relate to the Sredny Stog culture or one of its early offshoots.

It turns out that those of us that had it revealed to us in a dream that the Yamnaya rode horses were right all along. They really were horse riders!

Take note of this pre-Yamnaya burial (Grave 1) from Hungary. This particular burial is fascinating because, like other IE burials, it had similar features:

-Grave 1 is oriented SE-NW, with the skull slightly supported, facing east.
-The shape of Grave 1 was outlined by red ochre sprinkle and a discrete clump of red ochre was pronounced near the left pelvis.
-The deceased was laid in a supine position, with characteristic raised legs at the knees; the flexed arms were laid parallel to the body with the hands resting on the thighs.

This horseman was aged between 25 to 35 years old and had a 13.2cm long obsidian blade alongside 5 beads made of coiled copper plate, as well as 5 bigger cylindrical stone beads buried with him.

Reconstruction of a Paleolithic European, belonging to the Gravettian culture, made for the recent Posh 2023 paper.

Notice, how they make him look very African.

They give him black skin not brown skin.

They also give him African-esq facial features.

They do give him straight hair. But besides that they make him look African.

Sigh. We are all now accustomed to this kind of dishonesty from “the experts.”

They want people to believe European hunter gatherers were basically Africans in terms of phenotype. There is zero evidence for this. It is all conjecture.

I recently posted a fibula from Denmark which featured the Odinic dual bird motif except the "ravens" had the bodies of beasts and were therefore griffins. The use of two griffins instead of two birds is not unique to Denmark. I saw the above 6th/7th c. Alemannic buckle from La Roche-sur-Foron in Southern France at a museum in Geneva. The two griffins have the stylised curly beaks of the dual "raven" motif found across the Germanic world. The griffin is absent in Germanic myth but is seen in Germanic art, perhaps due to Scythian influence.

- The Death of Baldur.

The Norse name Baldur / Baldr is cognate with the OE name Bealdor which meant prince or hero. ‘Beald’ gives us our modern day word ‘bold’ and may also be connected to the Baltic word báltas meaning white. Baldur is also known to us English as Bældæġ, which according to Rudolf Simek means 'shining day', from the OE bæl meaning fire + dæġ or day.

"He (is) Wodin’s man"
The runic inscription is on one of the Vindelev bracteates. Not only is it a long inscription (34 runes) where most of the words aren’t attested in other runic inscriptions in the Proto-Norse language, but it is also the oldest written source mentioning Óðinn by name. It also reinforces the evidence from other bracteates that the swastika is the symbol of Woden.

Indo-Europeans first arrived in Italy with the Bell Beaker culture in circa 2300 BC.

However, they only settled northern Italy. Specifically only the Po Valley.

Bell beaker did not touch the rest of Italy.

We have three DNA samples from Beaker folk in the Po Valley of Italy.

Two have Steppe admixture and one is of entirely “native Italian farmer” origin.

One of the ones with Steppe admixture is a male and belongs to y haplogroup R1b L151>P312.

horse riding was already a common activity for some Yamnaya individuals as early as ~3000 BC and this analysis of evidence of horse riding on human skeletons finds earliest horse riding on the European steppe. So Yamnaya really were horse riders. I bet Sredny stog were too
