My 4 year old son: what did the people in Asterix call the gods?
Me: well the Romans called them deus (sic i used singular not plural)
Son: is that like Tyr?
"If I don't come back, I shall have gone to a glorious death which every man living, without exception, wishes. I wish no one to mourn for me as it wouldn't allow me to feel my cheery self"

"Familial history is not sensed merely as a series of events following one on the heels of another; nay, the living are filled by their ancestors. All history lay unfolded in its breadth, so that all that had once happened was happening again and again. Every kinsman felt himself as living all that one of his kin had once lived into the world, and he did not merely feel himself as possessing the deeds of old: he actually renewed them in his own doings. Any interference with what had been acquired and handed down, even if acquired from raiding or robbery, had to be met with vengeance, because a field of the picture of honour was crushed by the blow. But an openly expressed doubt as to whether that old grandfather really had done what he was said to have done is just as fatal to life, because it tears something out of his living kin; the taunt touches not only the dead man of old, but still more him who now lives through the former's achievements. The insult is a cut into the man himself; it tears a piece out of his brain, making a hole which is gradually filled with ideas of madness."
The Culture of the Teutons by Vilhelm Grønbech.
This new paper shows that 14k years ago a population in the South Caucasus was mostly WHG descended until a CHG group came from the Zagros and largely replaced them, with about 18% admixture from the original population plus around 10% from ANE.
It also says that EEF have Natufian ancestry via Anatolian Hunter Gatherers.

A Kratt is made from household items, odds and ends. A farmer will build a Kratt and then use magic or an incantation to bring it to life so that this creature can do the farm work for him, alongside anything else he wants done.
The similarity of Kratts to artificial intelligence has led to this character being used as a metaphor for AI in Estonia. The Algorithmic-Liability law is also called the ‘Kratt law’.
Interestingly, Kratts inevitably turn on their masters and try to kill them. Unless, the farmer can destroy it first.
Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned from the old stories here… 🤔

Autumnal traditions: One of the maddest, most spectacular folk traditions of the British Isles is the annual burning of the tar barrels in Ottery St Mary in Devon. The chaps who lift the flaming barrels are called barrellers; they have to be local, born and bred, and they begin lifting running the tar barrels at the age of seven! https://youtu.be/qnXx6jvsQto

The pernicious, far left, blood libel "lions led by donkeys" narrative of WW1 is mere class-war propaganda with no basis in reality. On remembrance day we honour those who served, regardless of their station in life.

Since insults and accusations had the power to reduce the greatest man to a mere nithing, it was not in any way an "escalation" to respond to an unflattering accusation by killing a man.
Any spoken word is like a magic spell. It brings a potential reality into being. This is why mass media is so powerful. The most powerful magic is media. If a witch tried to curse you, you would strike her with a sword before she could finish. If a man insulted your lord, you would kill him to regain the honour otherwise lost.
Even Christian prayers were seen as provocations,as Grønbech writes: "Once, when the Britons were attacked by the king of the Northumbrians, they had taken a small army of monks with them, and placed them in a safe spot to pray during the fight. King Ethelfrid, with practical sense, first sent his men to cut down the monks, and then proceeded to deal with the warriors. "If they call on their god to help them against us," he said, "then they are fighting against us, even though they use no weapon, since they oppose us with their prayers." Granted, such prayers were actually addressed to God, but Ethelfrid knew that even though the strong words made a slight detour, they would certainly end in the men for whom they were intended.
The modern Heathen should regard any kind of spoken defamation in media or elsewhere as a provocation.

Then, they were eager to do something for their own renown, either by going a-viking, or gaining goods and honor elsewhere in dangerous undertakings. Now they care only to sit with their backs to the fire and cool themselves with ale, and there is little manliness or hardihood to be looked for that way. You have certainly nothing much either of strength or height, and the inner part answers no doubt to the outer, so you will hardly come to tread in your father's footsteps.
In olden time, it was the custom for folk of our sort to go out on warlike expeditions, gaining wealth and honor, and that wealth was not handed down from father to son. No, they took it with them to the barrow, wherefore their sons must need find theirs by the same road.”

Am considering a video or a few shorts about early British saints who provide insight into the paganism of the isles.
-St. Birinus preaching from the Saxon barrow in Berkshire
-The 24 children of the Irish king in Wales, Brychan, who went to preach to the last Celtic pagans in North Devon and Cornwall in the 5/6th century including St Morwenna, St Nectan, St Endelienta
-Also St Brannoc of Braunton, another Welshman who preached to the last Celtic pagans of 6th c North Devon.
