This tribalism can take any form: spiritual, racial, political, philosophical, or any possible distinction you can think of. To believe that we can somehow manage to create a global utopia by breaking this innate drive, uniting all these manifestations of division, is extremely naïve and foolish.
Nature doesn't give a fuck what we like. I'm sure none of us like the excruciating physical pain that comes with a serious injury, or the gut-wrenching feeling of losing a loved one, but those moments of suffering serve a purpose; and again, Nature doesn't give a fuck if we don't like them.
One facet of our purpose is to play this game and win, for as long as we can, until our time in this world expires.
None of us can quit the game unless we take our own lives. So if you choose life, then you must play the game of life.
Do not be ashamed of your nature, and what you are designed to do.
Complacency is our enemy, and should be rooted out.

The golden hill where long-forgotten kings
Keep lonely watch upon their feasting-floor
Is silent now, — the Dagda’s harp no more
Makes sun and moon move to its murmurous strings;
And never in the leafy star-led Springs
Will Caer and Aengus haunt the river shore,
For deep beneath an ogham-carven door
Dust dulls the dew-white wonder of their wings.
Yet one may linger loving the lost dream–
The magic of the heart that cannot die,
Although the Rood Destroy the quicken rods;
To him through earth and air and hollow stream
Wild music winds, as two swans wheeling cry
Above the cromlech of the vanished gods

My first portrait of the Norse goddess, Idunn:
Idunn, The Orchard God, is one of the dearest of deities. Beloved by the Aesir for her many talents - not least of which for her craft of Orchard keeping. For amidst the boughs of Yggdrasil (

Idunn, The Orchard God, is one of the dearest of deities. Beloved by the Aesir for her many talents - not least of which for her craft of Orchard keeping. For amidst the boughs of Yggdrasil (
and behind the walls of Asgard) Idunn tends the fruit that keeps the gods forever young. Yet, while the other gods may favour her for her talents, there is one who adores for something more: her husband the God of Poetry and Song Bragi.One of the many important projects on which I'm working for Hyperborean Radio.

Portrait of Skadi, God of Scandinavia
Skadi, The Shining Bride of the Gods, she who embodies Scandinavia. It's biting frost, its piercing stones, its shimmering fjords and giant mountains. Once she was married to Njor the Beloved keeper of fish and winds, other times Othin with whom she gave birth to a line of kings, still further she married Ullr and from that line came the God of Steam who fueled the world forth to a new era.
