There are clear allegories in our attested Germanic myths, and possibly the best example of this is a self-consciously allegorical myth of Thunder [Þórr], particularly his visit to the etten Outyards-Lock [Útgarða-Loki] which is narrated in prose in the Gylfaginning, in the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson. Let us briefly summarize its contents:

Thunder, Lock [Loki] and Thelf [Þjálfi], Thunder's servant, travel to the Ettenland. There, they encounter the Outyards-Lock, who challenges them to a series of contests. Lock enters a food-eating contest against an etten but loses because the opponent not only eats the food but also the table and bones alike. Likewise, Thelf, who is very swift, goes into a racing contest but couldn't win, because his opponent was too fast. Thunder faces three challenges: drinking from a horn he cannot empty, lifting a cat he cannot raise fully, and wrestling an old woman who easily overpowers him. What's the catch? The mythic narrative ends with Outyards-Lock explaining to Thunder the reality of the challenges that were faced:

In that food-eating contest Lock lost to Lowe [Logi], whose name means "Flame."

When Thelf couldn't outrun High [Hugi], it was because nothing is swifter than "Thought," which is the meaning of High's name.

When Thunder couldn't drink the horn, it was because the horn was connected to the entire ocean, and what Thunder managed to drink lowered the sea level. The cat wasn't a cat, it was the Middenyard serpent, and Thunder managed to lift one of its paws which frightened everyone. And the old woman was Eld [Elli] herself, whose name means "Old Age," whom no one can defeat.

This myth can justifiably be called self-consciously allegorical because at the end of the narrative all its allegorical content is revealed to the audience. It goes on to show that allegory could be employed in myths, and that it could also be their constituent part.

"The night before (my Mother's) death I had a frightening dream. I was in a dense gloomy forest...Suddenly I heard a piercing whistle that seemed to resound through the whole universe. My knees shook. Then there were crashings in the underbrush, and a gigantic wolfhound with a fearful, gaping maw burst forth. At the sight of it, the blood froze in my veins. It tore past me, and I suddenly knew: the Wild Huntsman had commanded it to carry away a human soul. I awoke in deadly terror, and the next morning I recieved the news of my Mother's passing.

....It was Wotan, the god of my Alemannic forefathers, who had gathered my mother to her ancestors - negatively to the "wild horde," but positively to the "salig lut," the blessed folk. It was the Chrisitan missionaries who made Wotan into a devil. In himself he is an important god - A Mercury or Hermes, as the Romans correctly realised, a nature spirit who returned to life again in the Merlin of the Grail legend and became, as the spiritus Mercurialis, the sought after arcanum of the alchemists."

My Hearth in Devon switched to the lunar-solar calendar in 2019. Previously, when I lived in Sweden, I held blots on sunsteads, but one particular Midsummer, I think it was 2017, there was a full moon up at the same time as the Midsummer sun. It was an extraordinary experience at a Nordic Bronze Age barrow. We were all enamoured with the moon although we thought it was a solar rite.

In hindsight it was a foreshadowing of my adoption of the lunar-solar calendar

(Instagram handles linked).
A few days ago we got to know about a new hit piece on my husband, Marcus @thegoldenjarl , from a leftist freelance journalist @myvingrenjournalist that supposedly has been ‘’investigating’’ us and others around ever since perhaps 2021, or earlier, with the purpose of extracting personal information to create a foul film where she has proceeded to link, in a derogatory manner Marcus and who knows, perhaps me too, with hateful activities. ‘’Hacking Hate’’ will premiere on cinemas around Sweden on 17th of January.

Upon investigating her, I found that she has been using at least 2 fake accounts, AI-generated, swedish_housewife12 and mjolnerhammaren, together with fake created children, only using her face. She has followed me here together with all my followers list. Perhaps she has started conversation with key people, perhaps she has shared provoking thoughts/posts so she gets you to say something you shouldn’t otherwise. She has tried to gain the trust of some users that maybe got to follow her fake AI-generated accounts back and interact.

But the worst is just to come: I have a private Instagram account, whose biography description hasn’t been changed ever since starting it. It says ‘’A private account with pictures of our children, ONLY for family & close friends.’’ - Somehow she thought it would be a great idea to try to follow my private account to, by deduction, use the pictures of our children in her hit piece. This is vile.

She wanted to be able to follow a private account, whose description clearly states PICTURES OF CHILDREN, to gain access to the pictures of our children and use them for her film associating not only us, but our 1 and 5 years old daughters with her foul, poorly investigated, claims of hate in her soon-to-premiere ‘’Hacking Hate’’.

Why would this left-wing extremist journalist want to have access to the pictures of our children?

TOMORROW is the big day, the height of Yule. The second full moon of the Yule season rises tomorrow night and so many heathens, myself included, will be feasting and making offerings to Woden. The saga of Hakon the good reveals that originally there were three days of feasting and that you needed ale to last throughout! My hearth has only a one night feast of horse meat, during which we will make solemn Yuletide oaths concerning how we will improve ourselves by next winter.

The idea that the swastika represents this constellation does not originate in the study of Germanic artefacts, but was originally made specifically in regards to the cult of Mithras by Reza Assasi (2013). This claim was then countered by Cuadrado and Burillo in 2014 in this essay.

while I do accept that the cult of Mithras which spread to Germania may have imparted certain iconographic influences to Germanic pagans, including, potentially, the geometric angular variant of the swastika, there is no reason to think it retained the exact same meaning it had in the cult of Mithras. And anyway, it represented the sun in that cult not the big dipper.

Judge Clinton Sternwood is introduced in Twin Peaks as a kindly, affectionate old timey American. Then he delivers this line to the man he is about to judge in a murder case:

"The law provides us structure to guide us through paralysing and trying times, but it requires our submission to its procedures and higher purposes. Before we assume our respective roles in this enduring drama, just let me say that when these frail shadows we inhabit now have quit the stage, we'll meet and raise a glass again together in Valhalla."

Shield of the Cornuti according to the Notitia Dignitatum

The Cornuti ("horned") was an auxilia palatina unit that belonged to the comitatus of Gaul, and is attested on the northern border since 355. In 357 it was led by the tribunus Bainobaudes in an attack against the Alemanni who had attacked the Roman territory and had later retired on a small island.

In that same year, the Cornuti fought the Alemanni in the Battle of Argentoratum, under the command of the Caesar Julian. When the Alamannic cavalry caused the Roman equites to flee, the Cornuti and its twin unit, the Brachiati, held the enemy horsemen until Julian rallied the Roman cavalry and brought them back in battle. Despite the Romans being victorious, Bainobaudes, the tribune of the Cornuti was killed.

Fascinating new paper looks at a British tribe, the Durotriges, and finds that they had a matrilocal system with a single local female lineage dominant, and men from Gaul being brought in and "married" into the tribe. Most Iron Age tribes in Britain were the same as their Bronze Age ancestors but some Southerners like the Durotriges mixed with men from France and this is probably how Celtic languages arrived in the British Isles.

This bronze figurine fitting was found in 1865 at Frøyhov in Norway, a place name indicating a cult of Freyr. The object dates to 160-190 AD and has an elder Futhark runic inscription which is one of the oldest ever found. It may have been fitted to a sword.

It is sometimes translated as a name, 'Inga(n)da', which features the other name of the god Freyr "Ing". Germanic *ing seems best to be etymologised as a reflex of PIE *h2neḱ-/h2nenḱ- ‘reach, attain’ and the Frøyhov form may either be a maker’s inscription or a theonym, and the figurine itself is likely to be an image of InguiFreyr

"The sonargǫltr or sónargǫltr was the boar sacrificed as part of the celebration of Yule in Germanic paganism, on whose bristles solemn vows were made, a tradition known as heitstrenging."

"And they would sacrifice a boar in the sonarblót. On Yule Eve the sonar-boar was led into the hall before the king; then people laid their hands on its bristles and made vows."

An Anglo Scandinavian disc brooch with a knotted swastika design, found in Norfolk, 9-10th Century. This was a very popular design, but this one is unique in that it’s the only example I’ve seen with gilding. With this popular Viking Age variation of the swastika, one can easily see the shape of the Big Dipper in the arms.
