The Draugr
Part I:

In the past, when our folk looked for guidance from the gods and ancestors, they searched for signs in the world around them, and then turned within themselves for integration and understanding. One method for this kind of spiritual attunement was practicing útiseta, to “sit out” overnight in a peaceful grove or on a hallowed howe. In those quiet moments, sacred truths could make themselves known to an attentive mind. Perhaps in the the stirring of the wind, or an animal visitor, or a dreamlike vision.

However, to conjure the dead through necromancy was taboo, and often had negative supernatural consequences. One example is the draugr from Proto-Germanic *draugaz, “delusion” and *dreuganą, “to mislead, deceive.” This is a spirit which takes the possession of a reanimated corpse. Like a zombie, the face may be familiar, and it may even retain memories of the body it inhabits, but the soul is gone, replaced by something rotten and hollow.

One aspect of the living soul is óðr. This was one of the first gifts given to mankind by Óðinn and his brothers. Óðinn’s very name means “The Master of Óðr.” This word is used frequently to refer to matters of the mind and the soul, but it carries additional meanings of restlessness, frenzy, inspiration, and even possession.

Óðr is the quality which defines poets, artists, craftsmen, warriors, and the all the most lively and passionate men persons among us. It fuels the ecstatic state where a man simultaneously loses his individual personhood and becomes more complete in his sense of purpose.

Carl Jung said, "Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument."

What am I really getting at, here?

Óðinn’s relentless quest for knowledge is often cited as justification for using AI, and, to be fair, the use AI as a tool for research is quite pragmatic, and sometimes it can be entertaining, but in the same concept of communing with the dead, I think there is a proper and improper way to use this technology.

What I find most offensive is the use of AI to write and to “create” on one’s behalf—especially for religious purposes. Art and poetry is fundamentally human, even when it is flawed. It is an opportunity for the divine and mundane to inhabit the same space as we search for exaltation. To outsource one’s creativity to a machine is to rebuke the very gift of óðr. This is where I see the metaphor of the draugr.

🇺🇦 Not happy to report that 4 years ago we told you this was going to be the outcome.

"First round of migrant works arrived in Kyiv region... European integration in action."

@RedIceGiant

Is Zionism becoming too unpopular?

No problem, just blame it on White Europeans.

There, problem solved.

@RedIceGiant

Yakov M. Rabkin, professor emeritus of history at the Université de Montréal, and public "intellectual" published "What Is Modern Israel?" examines what he calls the "Protestant origins of the Zionist project."

lol.

The "academics" that you can find spewing absolute nonsense, like this guy 👆without virtually any push back ... all over YouTube is a fascinating study.

So many trapdoors and decoys, so little time.

Please understand that President Donald Trump himself directly ordered the removal of Greg Bovino as Border Patrol commander-at-large in January 2026 after the shooting of spiteful mutant, and anti-White leftist Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

No wonder, after realizing that U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino actually wanted to do something about the out of control immigration situation in the US.

Reports indicate Trump made this move to remove Bovino after he had a phone call with Democratic Minnesota Governor and tampon lunatic Tim Walz.

100% folding under pressure when it concerns opposing White extinction.

@RedIceGiant

Well, well, well.

There it is 🔗

Ben Shapiro says the U.S. has been an unreliable ally to Israel.

> Billions of dollars every year, supply them with military equipment, start wars on their behalf, pass laws banning criticism of Israel.

Meh, they are just too unreliable 🤯

Judaism and Zionism's Inseparable Roots, Finkelstein’s Lies & The Redeeming Truth About Canaanites

Don't miss this excellent deep dive into the inseparable connection between Judaism and Zionism, examining how the biblical foundations of Jewish identity underpin Israel's modern claims to Canaanite land.

We open with a startling admission from prominent anti-Zionist scholar Norman Finkelstein, who reveals he has never studied Judaism—raising serious questions about his "authority" on the question of Israel's expansionist aspirations. The exploration traces the meaning of "Zion," the pivotal roles of Theodor Herzl, the Rothschild-backed Balfour Declaration, and the Young Turks in forging the path to a Jewish state, before delving into pre-biblical Canaanite history.

We look at key sites like Gezer, Jebus (ancient Jerusalem), and Mount Moriah—strategic trade centers long controlled by the Canaanites, whom the incoming Israelite Yahweh worshippers reportedly conquered and exterminated.

The discussion confronts biblical accounts of Canaanite child sacrifice, while highlighting ancient DNA evidence showing Canaanite genetic survival among millions today, challenging contemporary land claims by asserting indigenous roots predating the Hebrews by over 2,000 years.

Happy Summer’s Eve!

In the traditional outlook of our Heathen ancestors, the year was divided into two seasonal halves, called “Misseri” by the Norse. First came the winter half. This cold, dark, and challenging time required folks to plan ahead and stay near the homestead, lest they be swept up by the Wild Hunt. Then came the summer half. A vibrant time for work, travel, trading, and raiding.

When reckoning by the phases of the moon, the first day of summer (Sumarmál) begins on the third full lunation after Midwinter. May 1st of this year.

Times of transition are powerful moments in our faith. As winter becomes summer, there is a brief liminal threshold that belongs to neither season. This may be a time where spirits and omens make themselves known to us. This is one reason Summer’s Eve was a remarkable occasion for our Heathen ancestors, who would stay up late into the night, feasting and holding ritual bonfires—partly to celebrate surviving another winter, and partly for protection against any final winter wights on their way out.

In various parts of Germany, ritual effigies were made of wood, straw, and fir branches. In later folklore, these appear to have represented Winter or Death itself, and were carried away from town to be burnt or tossed into bogs or rivers in order to free the village of the powers of that spirit. However, the festivities of this night were not viewed kindly by Christians. An Anglo-Saxon missionary woman named Walpurga travelled to Germany in the 8th Century in an attempt to convert the Heathens there. After she died, the church renamed the Heathen holiday after her, calling it Walpurgisnacht, German for “Walpurga’s Night”. Then the ancient bonfires were used to burn new effigies which represented the pagans and witches that the Christians wanted to be rid of. In Bavaria, this holiday is now known as Hexennacht, or “Witches’ Night.”

The Gaelic people observed a similar holiday called Beltane, which took place at the Cétshamhain, or “first of summer,” and also featured a sacrificial effigy often referred to as the “wicker man.” This effigy was ritualistically burned, sometimes with additional offerings placed inside his straw limbs.

The English preserved the memory of this holiday in May Eve. After shifting away from the lunisolar calendar, they began to observe the first day of summer on May 1st, called May Day. This year, May 1st and the full moon are on the same day, which is auspicious. In Devon, a tradition is still practiced where a figure known as the Earl of Rone is captured from the forest, paraded through town as he rides backwards on a donkey, and is repeatedly killed until he is thrown into the sea until next year.

According to folklorist Jacob Grimm, the ancient Germans may have called the first day of summer Pholstag, “Phol’s Day.” Phol was likely another name for Baldr, as mentioned in the Second Merseburg Charm, and also used in some place names in Germany, such as Westphalia. In Old English, he was called Bældæġ, which could be broken down to mean “Bale/Pyre Day.” A similar figure may be found in the god for whom the Gaelic Beltane bonfires are lit, as well, known as Belenos. All these names do have rough etymological connections to words meaning “bright.” In light of these similarities, an interesting theory arises which suggests that the original identity of the effigies on the bonfires may have represented Baldr himself, or his brother Hoðr, both being gods who were brought to the funeral pyre.

There are many names for this holiday, but they all celebrate the changing of seasons and a time for blessings of protection over new growth.

Hail the Gods!
Hail the Folk!
Happy Summer’s Eve!
