Remembering my grandfather Major Colin Rowsell of the Coldstream guards on VE day. I am pictured with his cap and battle standard.

In October 1944, 7 months before VE day he wrote: "These newspaper people never go near the fighting….they just sit at some rear HQ watch a map and put down what one of those human insects called staff officers tell them. I’m fed up with the politicians in England who pat themselves on the back and don’t even give us enough to eat and I include the PM.”

New alleged Anglo-Saxon find from Essex. A mount which resembles a mask comprised of two ravens back to back with beaks curled around the mask's eyes.

However, this particular style is not like any other artefact from the period I have seen. Could be a fake?

Interesting that in Uppsala, Oxford, Torrington and Padstow there exist traditions of drinking alcohol from breakfast onwards on May morning (Valborg aka May -eve morning in Uppsala). I wonder if that is a coincidence or is a really old custom?

By cutting off the free flow of waters, India is embodying the Vedic dragon Vritra (who may embody drought or the irrigation system of the IVC culture) which prevented the flowing of the rivers until, answering prayers, the Mighty Indra destroyed it and let the waters flow freely:

Thou slewest Ahi (Vritra) who besieged the waters, and duggest out their all-supporting channels.
3 The insatiate one, extended, hard to waken, who slumbered in perpetual sleep, O Indra,—
The Dragon stretched against the seven prone rivers, where no joint was, thou rentest with thy thunder.
4 Indra with might shook earth and her foundation as the wind stirs the water with its fury.
Striving, with strength he burst the firm asunder, and tore away the summits of the mountains.
5 They ran to thee as mothers to their offspring: the clouds, like chariots, hastened forth together.
Thou didst refresh the streams and force the billows: thou, Indra, settest free obstructed rivers.

The Folkton Drums
These three carved chalk cylinders were found placed behind the head and hips of a child's skeleton in a round barrow (burial mound).
The elaborate designs are similar to the decoration on some Late Neolithic and Beaker pottery, as well as with the engraved patterns on Early Bronze Age sheet goldwork. The 'drums' are unique, and their use unknown.
Later Neolithic/Copper Age, about 2500-2000 BC

Masai are like the Proto-Indo-European steppe peoples in many ways:

-Pastoralists who measure wealth in cows (no cow= loser)
-Love milk and butter
-Drink mead in rituals
-Smear bodies with red ochre
-Hyper patriarchal -women own nothing
-Practice head binding/skull deformation
-Men over 30 marry and become core elders of tribe
-Young men are warriors who raid neighbouring tribes for cattle and expand tribal territory like IE koryos
-Warriors own all the young unmarried girls
-Women sing songs about the raiding parties, songs also ask the gods for fertility and abundance

In 1876, 2 years before her death, the Swedish textile artist Signe Sohlman designed a series of cloths and napkins called Drakmönstret / Drakduken which were inspired by ancient Viking age and Vendel era zoomorphic interlace.

I am very proud to have acquired one of these vintage table cloths for use as an altar cloth. It seems highly fitting.

This Yamnaya themed design is available on shirts and jumpers in my new store. The striking artwork titled High Barrow by Ukrainian artist Valentin Kolontay depicts various attributes of the Yamnaya culture with the Kernosovskiy idol in the centre, standing above sacrificial oxen skulls and with a solar wagon being drawn across the sky behind. Very Indo-European indeed!

May day celebrations in Britain, particularly in the West Country, are notably pagan in their aesthetics. This documentary looks at one such celebration in Cornwall and one in Devon. Each very different but clearly both containing rites of pagan origin.

Excerpt from Orosius' history of Rome “History Against the Pagans” (written in 417 AD at St. Augustine’s request, 7 years after Rome was sacked) which is intended to show that Rome’s golden age was actually worse than the present.
