Spirit of the Day #7

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.
What is now known as the Tribe of the Fox started as a friendship between two Dutch pagans/heathens. We share a common practice based on our Northwest-European pre-christian spirituality. Thats a road full of discoveries. Deeply connected with the ancestors, naturespirits and deities we felt inspired to share this on YT, TG and our Dutch website. And look what happend.....1000 subscribers on TG🧙🏻‍♀️🦊🧙🏻‍♂️!!! Thank you so much for walking the path with us, dear subscribers❤️. And thank you for sharing our content🙂.

Anti-miscarriage drugs that were given to women 80 years ago now having serious side effects on their daughters and granddaughters. Cancer, infertility and early menopause being the most serious.

This is something that you likely won’t see much of at all in media and it’ll be buried soon. The companies that made this drug have never been held accountable. No compensation or help.

You need to remember that the choices you make with your body can affect your descendants after you. God knows what will be revealed in the future about the ongoing medical experimentation we see today. All you can do is hold firm and research extensively before taking anything. I’d say look more into natural cures too instead of pharmaceuticals.

These scandals are popping up more and more. A trend we’re likely to see continue.

Remember that these drugs were all “safe and effective”... until they weren’t.

On Christianity

Broke: 'Judeo-Christian Occident'

Woke: 'Evil Christianity'

Bespoke: 'Christians are a joke. Their entire religion revolves around scavenged myths from older times and their doctrine produces only slave brains, which are in fundamental opposition to the Aryan spirit!'

The fundamental atrocity of Christianity is the destruction of the Aryan spiritual connection to the divine.

The body, the vessel of godlike powers is mutilated to a mere piece of flesh, which only exists to worship and obey a god which is above it.

Refuse to be a mental slave! Seek your spiritual roots in the teachings of the #IndoEuropean|s!
