Wild Man Death and Rebirth

Across Europe the tradition of Wild Men costumes and processions are myriad. An interesting tradition that occurs across much of Europe along with these customs is the killing of the Wild Man (Sometimes replaced with a bear). The tradition involves a man disguised as a Wildman running around and kidnapping a maiden (often another costumed participant) and carrying or at least attempting to carry her away before copulation. He is then shot by an archer or a hunter and blood pours out. The Wildman is then often brought back with the aid of medicine or magic. This tradition typically occurs around Yuletide and ties into old Bear and Wildman cults. The stealing of the woman and "mating" is the masculine Wild God archetype combining with the Grain Mother archetype. Effectively the death and rebirth of the Wildman mimics the death and rebirth of the land. Father Christmas has been known to play the Wild Man in similar Wilder Mann customs.-TLK

Who are the true keepers of our indigenous knowledge?

Is it the Academia? No! The academic information on indigenous European cultures, history, spirituality and lore can’t be trusted, because those who currently control the academia are no friends of indigenous Europeans. I’ll go as far as to say that the ones who are in control of the entire academia happen to work for the enemies of indigenous Europeans.

Some folks believe that the academia just recently became corrupt, and I’m talking decades ago. My own research indicates that the academia has been corrupt for centuries. They were rewriting our history starting with the spread of Christianity/Abrahamism, however long ago that was. Some say Christianity/Abrahamism ruled European/Slavic nations for 1000 years, but I have my doubts it was that long.

There was a lot of history rewriting happening in the 17th, and 18th century. Not to mention all of the book burnings that took place throughout history, or entire libraries burned to the ground together with very important historical books and maps.

So where do you go to learn about our indigenous ancestors, their way of life, and lore? We know we can’t trust academic information that aims to deliberately distort the truth about our indigenous European ancestors, and bring in feminism, homosexuality, pedophilia, and forced diversity into our history and lore. We also know that most medieval sources that talk about our indigenous ancestors and our myths and folklore are coming from a religious Christian/Abrahamic angle that demonizes all things indigenous pagan European. So what sources are left that can teach us about our pagan ancestors and their ways, because most other sources are coming from Wiccans or feminists who are also dishonest and highly biased.

I’ll tell you who are the keepers of our indigenous ancestral lore, I believe number one source would be the modern day descendants of our indigenous ancestors who still live according to the old ways,and still follow ancestral traditions, and native spirituality, of indigenous Europeans. They still believe in old pagan myths, and folklore, still practice the pagan customs, rites of passage, etc… You can find them living in rural villages in Slavic and European countries. That would be number one true source on our indigenous European pagan ancestors, because they still follow ancestral oral lore. This includes folk traditions, folk customs, folktales, folk art, mythology, legends, folk music, ballads, chants, folk dance, oral history, oral literature, oral law, etc…

You would have to travel to the land on which your indigenous ancestors have lived in the past, and go locate some remote rural villages where people still live as your ancestors have lived, and still keep the oral lore alive. You would have to spend a good amount of time living there and learning from the villagers.

Unfortunately, most of us don’t live on the same land as our ancestors have, which is no accident. There is a reason so many of us now live in different countries from the ones our ancestors have lived. Still, it is what it is. This is our reality, and most of us don’t have a way to travel to the homeland of our ancestors. So what do we do? We can’t trust the academia, or most other sources on our ancestors.

The only thing left is independent research. And I’m talking years of researching, digging for truth, connecting dots, unraveling the past. This of course requires your personal desire to know the truth, to know your ancestors, and your real history. Without this thirst for truth, without the love for your ancestors, and your heritage, you’ll won’t get far in your research. You’ll get bored, or distracted by something or someone else, and abort the mission to learn about the source from which you came.

If you do possess this love of your people, this need to know the truth, you’ll have to rely on your own intelligence and wits, and develop your pattern recognition skills, as well as sharpen your intuition, and start allowing your intuition guide you on your journey.
It is true that the enemy has done a good job erasing our history throughout the centuries, and only making available for us a distorted, or false information on our ancestors. Yes so much knowledge is lost, but not everything. There are still bits and pieces of ancestral knowledge that had survived. You will have to be clever enough to be able to differentiate between authentic knowledge, and manipulative, deceitful information. You will have to go on a self discovery journey, and get to know your self, and learn how to tap into your ancestral subconscious, or blood memory, so that your ancestors can guide you, and help you learn about them, and their world.

There aren’t that many authentic sources left that can qualify as the keepers of our indigenous lore. The enemy doesn’t want there to be any true honest sources left that can teach about indigenous pagan Europeans. The enemy is even going after those last remaining pockets of living descendants of indigenous Europeans who live in rural villages in Europe and Slavic countries, and still follow the old ways. It may be that one day we will become the last keepers of our ancestral lore. That’s why we must strive to learn as much of authentic ancestral knowledge as we can, and then teach it to our children, and other ethnic Europeans who are interested to learn.

Police are ordered to vacate a local shop by owner. Of course the police decline to immediately vacate the premise instead attempting to lead the shop owner into incriminating himself and inadvertently admitting on camera that the police do NOT work for the people that they in fact work for the states and their districts.

Think about that for a moment.

Oldie, but still rings true.
Never trust people who turn their back on their folk.
Personally I don’t trust this so-called discovery by Professor Vinzenz Brinkmann. According to this professor, Greeks and Romans often painted their marble sculptures to be wildly coloured — polychromatic.

He also believes that there is a link between racist ideology and the blinding whiteness of classical sculpture, and claims that Leonardo da Vinci and his contemporaries whitewashed unearthed classical statues, disfiguring them forever in the West's imagination.

I see this as a door for deception, and an opportunity for them to continue distorting the history of European people even more.

First, I would like to see some proof, solid evidence showing that the so-called discovery of this professor is real, and that the statues were indeed colored by original artist who created them.

If they can prove it, then their proof needs to be studied by other independent academics, or independent groups of professionals, who must verify and confirm it.

Additionally, we will need to demand proof that they have a way of determining exactly which color was the statue painted by the original artist who created it. Again this needs to be studied by independent academics and teams of professionals. It must be verified and confirmed by them. This entire process, and all of the studies will need to be made available to the public, and maybe then I will believe it.

Why am I so skeptical of this? Well clearly this professor is one of those modern radical liberals, and it’s easy to see where this will lead. I could see where he’s coming from, and understand his mindset just by what is written in this article, but I’m sure that a brief search on him will reveal his neoliberal views, beliefs, and ideas. He is obviously anti-white. He even has a problem with a white color. Given the opportunity, he will bring in multiculturalism, and forced diversity into ancient Greece and Rome, and this so-called discovery of his gives him a perfect opportunity to do just that!

He will end up painting many of the statues as blacks, when in reality they’re supposed to be white. He will commit this crime of deception, in order to support, and push his own theories, views and beliefs, and no one will question him, because he is an academic professor with impressive credentials. He will also be funded by globalist politicians because he is pushing forward propaganda to support their agenda.

I mean check out this Greek or Roman male statue he painted to have black skin, meaning someone of a black African descend. You can clearly see it was forced, it’s done deliberately, because this statue obviously has caucasian features and hair
If I was asked whether, or not I believe that ancient Greece and Rome were multicultural, and by this I mean something resembling the modern-day USA, I would answer NO! If there was any diversity/multiculturalism in Greece and Rome, then it was during more recent centuries, and not during the time of ancient Greece and Rome. I would say definitely multiculturalism came to Greece and Rome with Christianity/Abrahamism.

Some people present various old Greek and Roman artifacts such as vases and pottery, and paintings that depict black people as proof that Ancient Greece and Rome were multicultural.

I would say these depictions can mean many different things, and we just cannot say for sure what is the meaning behind these depictions. Sure if your mind is biased towards multicultural ancient Greece and Rome, and your mind is set on proving that, then you will take these depictions on old pottery and vases as definite proof of multicultural ancient Greece and Rome.

However, if you’re honest with yourself and you wish to learn the actual truth, and not what you want the truth to be, then you can examine these depictions on pottery and other Greek and Roman artifacts, and go over different possibilities of the meaning behind them.

For instance, if it’s a mythological depiction of black god on Greek, or Roman artifacts or paintings, it could just simply mean evil or dark forces. Just like in Slavic culture we have a white God and a black god, and yes the black Slavic god is sometimes depicted as black skinned but this doesn’t mean that black Africans were present in ancient Slavic countries. The black skin simply means dark forces, or a god of the underworld.

If it’s a depiction of upper class black person on Greek and Roman pottery or other artifacts, then it could possibly be some ambassador from African country who was living in Greece, or Rome at the time. It could also be a depiction of a wealthy black lord from Africa who was in the business of trading spices silks or precious stones from Africa to Greece. It could also possibly be African black royalty who married into a Greek royal family, and was residing there.

If it’s a lower class black person depicted on Greek or Roman artifacts or paintings, it could simply be a slave, and don’t get offended by this, because back in those days slaves consisted of all ethnicities and races, including white people.

And as I’ve pointed out, any mixing of ethnicities or races in Greece and Rome happened in recent centuries, and not during ancient times. This is what I believe based on what I’ve learned.

We must not forget that official timeline and history is not trustworthy, inaccurate, unreliable. How can we build anything on top of a foundation that is rotten?

This post isn’t coming from my disliking of black people. It comes from my outrage of seeing how manipulative people in power continue to lie, and distort our history. If anything, black Africans should do the research on their own ancestors, and their heritage. They have their own hidden history that will teach them about their ancestors and heritage, which involves a whole lot more information than primitive tribes of Africa and then from that straight to slavery, and so ion. Just like everybody else, black African people have a huge chunk of their history missing. Sadly, black Africans who come from many generations of African Americans or African Europeans have a bad case of identity crisis. They don’t know how to connect with their ancestors, because they have been disconnected from them for so many generation, and unfortunately, this sometimes results in some of them trying to force themselves into other people’s history and culture. Some of them are even trying to straight up claim other people’s culture and history. They don’t realize that they have their own rich history, if only they had done research on their black African ethnic roots.
The way I see it, if you want to know the appearance of people of a particular culture, try to do some digging, and find as authentically as possible information on the mythology and the pantheon of gods of this culture, because the people always depict their gods to look like themselves in every culture. Here is a good article I have shared before that tells us exactly how ancient Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, famous rulers and warriors were depicted, which is fair skinned, golden blonde hair, blue eyes

Seidr, Shamanic Journey

A black mirror,
another realm,
of silence and darkness.
A female voice,
like an echo,
reflecting against the
cristal walls.

Mothers in silence,
still unknown to me.
In my presence,
spirits, witches and deities.

Take my light,
take my darkness,
because I am shadow.

Tacitus describes the Germanic tribe the Chauken:

A people in between the Chatten and Frisians, a people who also inhabit a part of the coast. Not only do the Chauci own such an amazing space of land, but they fill it too. A nation very distinguished among the Germanic tribes chooses to protect its own greatness with justice.

Without desire, without licentiousness, quiet and secluded, they do not provoke wars. They do not plunder by raids and robbery.

This in particular is proof of their virtue and strength, that they are not superior by committing injustice.

Yet all have their weapens within reach, and if the case demands it, there is an army and a very large number of men and horses. Even when they keep quiet they have the same fame.

Gargoyles

Gargoyles are European protective spirits. They seem to have spawned from protective totems used by Celtic tribes, though their visage and myth has changed considerably over time. The name Gargoyle seems to have originally referenced a decorative water spout before becoming conflated with the Grotesques on Gothic Cathedrals, alternatively the name is said to be based on the Gargouille dragon that was tamed by St. Romanus. In either case Gargoyle statues are protective totems and the spirits within are said to guard the people or places under their care. As a result of pop culture Gargoyles became demonic monsters that turned into flesh during the night but were stone during the day, a popular concept that has spread across fantasy whether in literature or in film.
