Christmastide Divination, c. 1905. Konstantin Makovsky (Russian, 1839-1915).

Really looks like ancient pre-Christian Armenian symbol of eternity/sun disk

Petroglyph from Gotland, Hadlingbo, Havor, dated 400-550 BC. This kind of whorl motif is one of the most common during the oldest Iron Age and horses were often associated with the sun in the prehistoric religions.

Of course there may be much more to this symbol than what we get from official sources.

On the bottom you can read “God & Goddess”

So just one god, and one goddess?

Description
“Yulianka knew her grandmother was a witch, so when Baba showed up that gray and boring day, the young girl thought Baba must have read her mind."... with these words a young girl embarks on a journey of discovery to find out about her Slavic heritage. If you have never quite connected with the religion you were taught, it may be that your soul calls you back to the Old Ways. Learn the secrets that have been hidden for a thousand years; the secrets of the Earth and Stars that have persisted since before written history. Long before Christianity, the Indigenous people in the Slavic lands lived in harmony with nature. They listened to the nature spirits of water and woods, learning the healing properties of plants. They could see that life was circular, just like the seasons. Spring transformed into the lush season of summer and fruits, berries and grains were harvested. Then the Wheel of the Year turned and the winter was upon them; a time to pull inward and rest. Yet with the coming spring, the world was reborn! The God and Goddess of the Slavs were joyful providers; giving their people golden apples, grapes and ripe grain. Their God and Goddess transformed with the seasons. When the indigenous religion was forced to go underground, the teachings were kept alive in tales. This is such a tale.

I shared information on this book the other day, because I thought it may be interesting, since they are exploring pre-Christian Slavic paganism. I noticed in the description they also say “god & goddess” but, I brushed it off, until today when I noticed it again while reading the description of another supposedly European pagan book.

We know that some of the official information on folklore and mythology comes to us from Christian sources who deliberately Christianized the pagan folklore & myths, but even with their tampering, we can still find many seeds of truth and clues that can help us to unravel the past

What non-human races lived alongside our ancient human ancestors in our distant past?

I wonder if other people think it’s possible that our true past was much more magical than we’ve been led to believe.

I view the ancient races of Elves, Giants, Dwarves, faerie-folk & menfolk not as fantasy, but as possible ancient history.

I already know I’m gonna lose several subscribers, just because I said this. I can’t stop people from unsubscribing, and I should not be afraid to be myself to please the crowd.

To some people the possibility of existence of these non-human races in the ancient world may seem like outlandish lunacy, but, those who’ve spent the time looking at this, know that all around the world the ancient cultures mention these non-human races as real-life races living on earth, and even trading with our human ancestors

I came across this mix of songs about 6 years ago, back when the only European pagans I knew of were the wiccans. Back then I didn’t know anything about my ethnic pagan Slavic roots. I had no idea that European paganism was so diverse, and that each individual ethnic group, each indigenous tribe had their own unique pantheon of gods, traditions, myths, folklore, and a native spiritual heritage. Basically at that point in my life I wasn’t aware of the importance of ethnic roots, blood & soil, race, etc... I didn’t know anything about the pre-Orthodox, pagan, Russian Slavic history, folklore, & heritage. At the time, the closest I came to European paganism, was listening to Michael Tsarion talking about the hidden history of ancient Ireland, druids and the Tuatha De Danann. I was being drawn to something old/ancient & European, but I wasn’t sure what it was yet. So it was an autumn day, I was working in my backyard, raking leaves. It was cloudy, a bit chilly for Florida, and little windy. I accidentally came across this mix of songs, and as I started to listen to it, the music was stirring my blood memory, and bringing up high emotions to the surface. I was infatuated with this music. Mind you, I had never listen to anything like this before. Prior to this, I’ve never heard any kind of European folk music. I’ve never heard any Slavic, Celtic or Nordic music, or ancient sounding music. So when I heard this, I felt like it’s a sound that’s familiar to my soul. I couldn’t get enough of this European folk themed sound. The windy weather and sky full of dark clouds on a autumn day made it even more special. After this first mix of songs, I started looking for similar sounding music, and from that day I got on my ancestral path. Since then I’ve been on my “ethnic roots” journey. 6 years ago when I first heard this mix of songs, it stirred my blood memory, and shifted me towards ancestral consciousness.

I like most of the songs except one song number 16 on this list

And of course my favorite on this list, number 2 by Loreena McKennitt - THE OLD WAYS
