Name: Fortress of King Frost (Niflheim)

Riddle, Riddle, Blithe and Buddle the answer to thy Bane of Riddle Weaver is below:

-Niflheim the Land of Mist-

Niflheim is the answer to our Riddles, yet to all of us have been deceived, for this land was called a place of pain and despair.
No! It is The Birthplace of Life Primordial! The First Birth! The forgotten place where the first wailing cry of birth still echoes across the realms with all of the glee and pain of life.

Cradle of Ymir, The Firstborn. Where beside him his Sister Audhumbla -The Great Auroch- licked out Búri Grand Father of the Clan Aesir. Birthplace of both God and Giant alike where life sprang forth in all of it's glory! Where the roots of The Great Tree Yggdrasil nestles in its fertile soil.

The very roots where Nidhogg makes her home within the well of Hvergelmir whence all waters spring where The Great Serpent gnaws the roots of the great tree while consuming those who lack in the greatness of the people. The domain The Great Norns of the Nornir patch this incidental rending with the clay from the well of Urd.

There is so much more to Niflheim than meets the eye!

Jolly Jul from Hyperborean Radio (Uncensored)

Above the Timberline by Greg Manchess

It had been a long Journey for Kris Kringle; Adventurer Extraordinaire, with his Pack Polar Bears and his owl as guide. He had climbed the Mountains of the Hyperborean Boundary lands coming close to his goal, the land known only as "The North Pole". What wonders await him? Only time will tell...

Winter Solstice by Hermann Vogel 1905

Dear Winter,

Thank You for all your gifts. For the long night with its stars and moon that shine their soft subtle glow.

For the downy blanket you spread across the land, allowing rest and peace to our tender Wintersleep.

For the time with Kin that we treasure so. For the aid in hunts to keep our bellies full.

For your watchful hand that blocks out pestilence and plague. For the Songs we sing and games we play.

For all these gifts and more Dear Winter we thank you so. And while many may not see the myriad of gifts you give to us free.

Our gratitude does not waver, for your chill sparkling splendor.

Happy Winter Solstice and May Winter be all that you need.

Love,
Hyperborean Radio (Uncensored)

Hunter's Moon

Have you heard of the Hunter's Moon?

Not that new age nonsense, but the actual Hunter's Moon. The one looked forward to and treasured by Rural Huntsman since the Long Long Ago.

The Hunter's Moon is not a Scheduled Moon, it's not even necessarily a Full Moon. The Hunter's Moon is a Hunter's Moon because it is so bright it lights up the night.

Thus when combined with Winter's Glittering Snow the Hunter's Moon crafts a day nocturne. In the Den of Winter tracking is easy in the snow while daylight leads to Snow Blindness, it is in this time the Moonlit Hunt becomes a treasured event.

The Hunter, the Woodsman, the Parent with mouths to feed, the Hermit, stomachs growling for their next meal all go out into the light of the Hunter's Moon. Whether by snowshoe or pick up truck, alone or in a party this Hunt is something special.

The antler of the Stag glitters in the night, hoofprints following like sunken memories and should they escape your keen eyes one can always follow the Blood Upon the Snow.

So the real question... Have you enjoyed the Moonlit Hunt?

-I.M.Knosp

An Honest Question

It doesn't really matter how you returned to ethnic faith, the real question is why do you remain in ethnic faith?

Presenting these ideas needs a little more work but basically finding paganism via the Vikings TV show, Disney's Hercules or Faerie illustrations are all valid ways of returning to ethnic faith. However I would argue they are not reasons to stay in it.
If someone has found ethnic faith but has found nothing but aesthetics or subculture I would have to ask why they remain? Not out of some hooty tooty ivory tower way but out of genuine curiosity. You can have and enjoy Norse, Greek, Celtic etc. mythology without being pagan I meet "Lovers of Mythology" on a regular basis. One does not need to be pagan to enjoy these things.

Our Ethnic Way is inherently well.. ethnic, one venerates the people the gods are for lack of a better term "The Divine Wing" it is not a competing religion with Christianity. We are not the Burger King to their McDonald's. We are the home cooked meal!

This is why we write so often on our nature whether biological, spiritual or mental, with posts on spirits, gods and customs peppered in-between.

Our lore is too vast to ever fit in a book. There is no One True Choice in our gods, there is no doctrine, no dogma. But there is as is evident in nature a code of conduct. I can no more list what it is than tell you what Thor ate for Lunch last Tuesday if he ate anything at all. But we know when it is broken. A man who kills another may be hailed as a murderer or a hero, a thief may be a savior or a saboteur, an old woman a wise treasured matriarch or a despised wicked woman.

Sometimes kindness is a warm cup of coffee and a smile sometimes it is tears and a bullet to the head.

Sometimes destroying a town is brutality other times cruelty.

We know when this code these guidelines are broken.

Whatever your tribe (Wendish, Scottish, Basque, etc) whatever your current home (America, Europe, Oceania, etc) you have OUR Ethnic Way OUR Old Gods.

There were a lot of jumbled up ideas that I didn't want to lose so they ended up in this complete mess of a post.

Sincerely With Love,

The Keeper of the Ways by Neale "Aethelwulf" Rundgren 2022

This work of art features a fictionalized depiction of The Lore Keeper beside an Otherworldly Stag. This was truly a wonderful and unexpected gift created especially for me by my good friend Neale "Aethelwulf" Rundgren!
-
I am incredibly touched that Wulf made this for me and am especially honored to see how he views me. A piece truly possessing such dark and stark beauty. I could explain the different elements he included and why but really I just want to thank him for this wonderful artwork and thought to share its magnificence with other people so that they too might witness the amazing work my friend Wulf can accomplish with his hard won skills.

Thanks Again Wulfman and Glad Yule. -TLK

"Polar Bear himself was astonished when I brought light; for the most remarkable thing is that the walls of these caves are all covered with pictures, cut into the rock or painted on in red and brown and black.

Some of them are very good (mostly of animals), and some are queer and some bad; and there are many strange marks, signs and scribbles, some of which have a nasty look, and I am sure have something to do with black magic.

Cave Bear says these caves belong to him, and have belonged to him or his family since the days of his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (multiplied by ten) grandfather; and the bears first had the idea of decorating the walls, and used to scratch pictures on them on soft parts- it was useful for sharpening the claws.

Then Men came along-Imagine it! Cave Bear says there were lots about at one time, long ago, when the North Pole was somewhere else. (That was long before my time, and I have never heard old Grandfather Yule mention it even, so I don't know if he is talking nonsense or not)."

Scene: A Near Perfect Example of Othin Incl. Broader Lore

Do Not Think Repentance is So Easy as Ringing a Bell or Shallow Words Uttered.

Does One Think Othin, God of Thieves and Beggars cares for repentance, doling out mercy or forgiveness like sweets and treats for any who ask?

Does one even think it possible to earn such things through Simple Tasks and Hollow Ritual?
