"The words and promises you bring are fair enough, but because they are new to us and doubtful, I cannot consent to accept them and forsake those beliefs which I and the whole English race have held so long."

Halstatt salt mine in Austria with 3100 year old wooden staircase.

The Celts were a powerful culture perhaps because of the mineral resources of the mountains they mined but the Celts delved too greedily and too deep...

Grimm believed Hrêða/Hrêðe to be cognate to Old High German Hrouda, with a connection to Hludana, attested in Frisia and western Germany, the root of whose name means fame, not unlike victorious/famous in Hrêðe.
Grimm linked Hludana with Old Norse Hlóðyn, a byname of Jörð/Frigg, who is also referred to as Hlín in the Völuspá, meaning protector. As a goddess governing fate, it makes sense She would be invoked in battle.

It is a time for primroses and daffodils and lambing here in Devon.

It is quite a special style face, resembling almost a Japanese style more than other Viking era "mask" motifs

12,000 year old Paleolithic artefacts from Mizyn in Ukraine, carved from mammoth ivory.

One is a bird and the geometric pattern on the back is sometimes called the first ever "swastika". However if you actually look at it, you can see it is not a swastika. It is a similar geometric pattern as is seen on the bracelet found in the same place.

Found in 1946 in a peat bog near Rebild Skovhuse (Denmark) this meter tall birch wood idol was originally believed to represent the fertility goddess Frøya (Freya) as the shape and curves of the wood suggested a feminine figure. The idol has since been dated to around 1000-500 BC.

For the work I do on Survive the Jive, I would like to earn a decent living. The minimum wage for over 21 years olds in UK is about $2360 USD per month. Between Subscribestar and Patreon I make around $2700 but I support a family of four on this. I also get a little money from ads, but I am still quite a low earner.

Hope not Hate receives over half a million dollars a year in donations in a bad year. In better years it received millions.

Despite being propped up by the UK deep state and given acting roles on Game of Thrones, the transexual communist 'Philosophy Tube', who, like Hope not Hate, ran a hit piece on me, has monthly earnings from Patreon estimated to be between $5,000 and $59,000. He/she has 6,221 paid members compared to my 278.

I don't regularly ask for support as I like to devote as much of my time as I can to creating documentaries, however these posts are occasionally necessary to remind people that STJ will only continue with your help. The left are happy to fund creators who don't even need the money.

My coming film about Iceland may well be the best documentary I have ever made, so watch this space!

This 2nd/3rd c. Roman inscription from Bornheim, Germany translates as "after heeding the warning, Nigrinia Titul donated to Mercurius Hranno gladly and deservedly."

"Hranno" is Germanic and is cognate with one of Odin's names "Hrani." We also know that Odin was associated with the Roman god Mercurius. The proposed etymology requires PGmc Hrainô in alternative form or altered by metathesis to be Hranjô which then becomes Hrannjô from gemination of the consonant preceding -j- which is rendered by the Roman as Hrannon due to early west Germanic use of -on suffix as a form for the accusative of -an stem words. The same PGmc word became
Proto Norse Hranji and then ON Hrani. If correct this is the earliest written mention of Wotanaz

Bronze age Nordic women sometimes wore very very provocative short skirts. Thomas Froncek describes this in his book The Norhmen, and the theory that maybe only high class women wore them as a kind of boast that they could dress how they liked without being raped or harassed because they were so powerful. Other women in the Nordic Bronze age wore very long dresses but that isn’t so interesting to look at. The artwork if called Rites at Dawn by Christian Sloan Hall

A Norwegian record from the mid-19th century tells of a certain Gunnhild Reinsnos, a simple, uneducated elderly peasant woman. The record describes how she sometimes went out at night to fish. Once, "the catch was so good that it was not long before Gunnhild had enough fish to cook for the whole week," the record says, "then she wrapped the line around the rod and said: 'now shall Njord be thanked for this', Njord was associated with the sea, weather and fishing in the Old Norse tradition. This record, which is thus an authentic family history from Hardanger, shows that some Scandinavians were still giving thanks to this deity in an everyday way as late as 150 years ago. And if something as concrete as a god's name could have been preserved in the common people 850 years after the official change of religion, it is perhaps not entirely impossible that certain fundamentals and attitudes survived longer than that.

English pagans referred to pride as modignes (cognate with modern moodiness) from mod which refers to bravery, heart, spiritedness and the mind itself. State of mod was used to convey emotion as well as vibes/energy in poetic ways.

When Christians needed to make a word for the sin of pride, they chose ofermod “too-brave”. This refers to people who overestimate their abilities and was very misleading for the English pagans as that is not at all what is meant by pride as sin in Christian theology.

It could depict Freki and Geri, and/or Gods in disguise; in the Hrafnagaldr Óðins, Odin disguises Iðunn as a wolf.

In the Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss, the titular character’s son Gestr initially resists conversion when he meets Olaf Tryggvason. He eventually gives in, but he’s confronted by the angry spirit of his father on the night after his baptism, and he dies the next morning.

“The next night after Gestr was baptised he dreamed that Bárðr, his father, came to him and said:
“You have done ill when you gave up your faith, the faith of your ancestors, and allowed yourself to be cowed by paltry arguments into submission to a change of faith. And for that you shall suffer the loss of both of your eyes.”

Early Anglo Saxon converts were sometimes sent to spend the night at a burial mound to test their newfound faith. This may have been a greater test than it seems…their ancestors within may have wanted a word.
