Even the accent many Midwestern Germans speak with is the result of centuries of isolated German Dialects speaking English, if you speak with a Midwest Accent you are more than likely speaking with an American German accent. The stork delivering babies descends from the stork spirits delivering infant souls of our own beloved Goddess Holle, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow Fame finds his origin in the Hessian German Mercenaries and the lore of the Wild Hunt from Germania, Santa Claus the Jolly Old Elf descends from German Folklore of Kobolds, Saints and Wildmen and his original home was even an Enchanted German Castle, architecture, music, cuisine. Even the way we dress while warped by modernity and circumstance is a continuation of our German Heritage maybe not as blatant as it would be cocooned in the old Country but present all the same.
You are part of the unbroken line of German Heritage that Stemmed Off onto this new land, but you are no less German of Blood and Bone for it. (4/4)

Hey everyone, 😁
Huzzah! It is done. The trickster fox from French, Flemish/Flanders & English folklore, Reynard the Fox. Truth be told I didn’t quite finish the speed run; I painted for about 10 hours straight throughout the night until my bed beckoned me to sleep, lol! I also took off yesterday from painting, thus I finished it today. There are still a few issues here and there but I’ll tend to them later. Enjoy!
You can view the painting process here.

Have You Seen the Will'O'The-Wisp?
Ever wondered why you marveled at the Patronus Charm?
It is because it is a call back to an ancient mysterious spirit of the Hyperborean People, the tiny balls of guiding Faerie Light known as The Will'O'the-Wisp.
Appearing as tiny balls of shimmering light that seem to dance across the land; they are not to be called or summoned, they come of their own free will. Though to communicate they may take a fitting form to guide you; a beautiful woman, a horrid hag, a curious fox or fluttering sparrow. Each formed of their shimmering light
But they will guide you, to those who are most wicked they will lead to their doom. To those of noble heart they will lead them to what they need most. A place of safety. A place of revelry. A place of magical treasure and adventure.
They like their kindred Fae from the smallest of spirits to the grandness of Puck will fight for those they care about.-TLK

The Importance of Runestones
Runestones are some of the most iconic objects in all of Europe. Their depictions of Knotwork, Wyrms, Gods and Men decorated with those mysterious letters known as Runes; which inspire art and speculation among academics and the average populace to this day.
Yet most Runestones, if not all, serve a rather familiar and heartwarming purpose. They are memorials to the dead, what are sometimes called a Wayside Shrine. -For example the one pictured above reads :
Some of the most famous Runestones have depictions of deities, the Jelling Stones depict a Crucified Jesus Christ entwined in knotwork, while the Hunnestad Monument is often thought to depict Hyrrokin, a Norse Giantess and speculated funerary deity. Both monumental sets of Runestones were placed as a way to honor the raisers dead loved ones.
These days we don't commonly raise Runestones in honor of our loved ones, or even the standing stones of Pre-Christian Europe... Yet... We still perform this treasured act of honoring the dead. Park Benches, Street Signs, Crosses at the side of the Road and Grand Statues show the names and faces of loved ones that have passed on to the Realms Beyond. For never has something been more treasured to our people and our Gods, than our family and friends.

“Sandar raised the stone in memory of Joar, his kinsman. No one will bear a more able son. May Tor safeguard.”- Many of the Runestones are attributed specifically to the commissioners beloved dead whether they be Fathers, Mothers, Siblings or other Kinsmen or Companions. Due to many of the extant stones being from the Viking Age they are often Christian in reference invoking the The Christian God, though a fallen one photographed in 1899 specifically calls on Thor/Tor to safeguard the soul of the dead.
