Archaeological excavations at the former Porte Madeleine hospital site in Orléans, France, have uncovered 21 curse tablets dating back to the late 1st century CE, with some inscriptions in Gaulish. This discovery provides insights into ancient Gaulish culture & practices, particularly regarding curses & rituals associated with the dead.
The lead tablets, about 20 centimetres long, were found in excellent condition. They were typically placed alongside the deceased, serving as prayers or curses directed at living individuals, invoking underground deities. The Gaulish inscriptions add complexity to the study, as written records in this extinct language are rare.
Archaeologists are using X-ray tomography to analyze the tablets without damaging them, allowing for "virtual unrolling" to read the inscriptions. Deciphering the texts will likely take years due to the challenges posed by the Gaulish language.
The excavation has revealed over 80 graves − a necropolis that could be linked to a specific group.

Am 13. Februar 1945 kapitulierten die letzten Einheiten in der Schlacht um Budapest.
Das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht begründete die Kraftanstrengung in Budapest mit der strategischen Mission, dort Wien zu verteidigen. Der Kampf um Budapest kostete alleine 100.000 Wehrmachtssoldaten das Leben. 20 Divisionen und fast 1.000 Flugzeuge der Roten Armee wurden aber 51 Tage lang gebunden, da die sowjetische Führung die Einnahme Budapests als Voraussetzung für dem weiteren Vormarsch ansah…
Nach der Eroberung gossen sowjetische Soldaten in die Räume des Lazaretts auf dem Budaer Burgberg Benzin und zündeten das Lazarett mit Patienten und Personal an. Sie zwangen außerdem die Bevölkerung, verwundete Soldaten nackt auszuziehen und in die Donau zu werfen. Wer sich weigerte, wurde sofort erschossen. Diese Kriegsverbrechen blieben ungesühnt. Von 150.000 Toten beider Seiten im Budapester Stadtgebiet konnten nur etwa 5.000 Soldaten und Zivilisten namentlich festgestellt werden. Tausende Leichen trug die Donau fort und Zehntausende liegen noch heute in den Parks, im Stadtwald und in den Budaer Bergen verscharrt.

On 13 February 1945, the last units surrendered in the battle for Budapest.
The Wehrmacht High Command justified the effort in Budapest with the strategic mission of defending Vienna. The battle for Budapest alone cost the lives of 100,000 Wehrmacht soldiers. However, 20 divisions and almost 1,000 Red Army aircraft were tied up for 51 days, as the Soviet leadership regarded the capture of Budapest as a prerequisite for the further advance...
After the conquest, Soviet soldiers poured petrol into the rooms of the military hospital on Buda Castle Hill and set fire to the hospital with its patients and staff. They also forced the population to strip wounded soldiers naked and throw them into the Danube. Anyone who refused was shot immediately. These war crimes went unpunished. Of the 150,000 dead on both sides in the Budapest city area, only around 5,000 soldiers and civilians could be identified by name. Thousands of bodies were carried away by the Danube and tens of thousands still lie buried in the parks, in the city forest and in the Buda Hills.

Right now is a time of filtration. Dying are the days when Heathenry was a trend created by media. You now see many folks who considered themselves Heathens, Pagans, etc. switching back to Christianity, atheism, or agnoticism for the sake of comfort and familiarity. We can see a divide between those who take the time to study and ground themselves in their ancestral traditions, and those who only wore it as a counter-cultural guise. These nithings used Heathenry as a tool. To strictly go against the atheistic nature of the modern age or to go against religion/spirituality as a whole.
The Heathen of tomorrow will be intellectually, philosophically, and faithfully rooted in their traditions. There are many great organizations, wisemen, ancient sources, and philosophical works from antiquity to learn from. For a Heathen or Pagan to do otherwise is dishonest with yourself, intellectually lazy, and a dishonor to your forefathers and the Gods.

Jacob Grimm and Germanic Heritage
Jacob Grimm, a German nationalist, is best known today for the fairy tales he collected with his brother Wilhelm, but another great contribution to Germanic heritage was his attempt to document the old ways of our ancestors.
In 1835 he published Deutsche Mythologie (“Teutonic Mythology”), a work that gathered fragments of pre-Christian Germanic beliefs, folk customs, and traditions. Grimm compared Norse sources like the Eddas with German and Anglo-Saxon traditions, showing their shared roots. Many seasonal rites, stories, and practices that might have been forgotten were preserved because he recorded them.
Grimm also studied language deeply. His work on what we now call Grimm’s Law showed how sounds in Indo-European languages shifted over time. This helped uncover the links between words, beliefs, and ritual practices, showing how language itself preserves the memory of the gods and the folk. Although not all of his linguistic theories have stood the test of time, it is important to give credit where it is due and to recognize that Grimm was a pioneer in this field of study.
Through his work, Grimm preserved pieces of lore and custom that continue to guide our understanding of ancient Germanic traditions today.
“Nearly all my labours have been devoted, either directly or indirectly, to the investigation of our earlier language, poetry and laws. These studies may have appeared to many, and may still appear, useless; to me they have always seemed a noble and earnest task, definitely and inseparably connected with our common fatherland, and calculated to foster the love of it. My principle has always been in these investigations to under‑value nothing, but to utilize the small for the illustration of the great, the popular tradition for the elucidation of the written monuments.”

A folkish person is one who lives by the customs and traditions of their own people. “Folk” here refers to the art, culture, and practices that naturally grow from a community or nation of related peoples, shaping its identity across generations.
To turn away from those roots is to step outside the folkish path. Folkishness/Folkism is about honoring, preserving, and living the traditions of your own folk.
Being folkish is the highest reverence one can show their ancestors. It is holding to a traditional worldview and carrying the wisdom of the ages forward to future generations. Folkism is the path of both the gods and the ancestors.

Where the land meets the sea and the tide eternally keeps the time, we welcomed in the harvest and the bounty of our Lady Nehalennia. Last saturday together with Traditie, the largest Flemish Heathen organization, we honoured Nehalennia, hailed her in from the shore and carried her in procession to her reconstructed temple here in Old Zeeland. It was a really great day overall, with workshops and plentiful meals as well as ritual. The guided meditation was one of the highlights for me.
I hope you all have had a rewarding harvest season, whether that be internal or external. Now as nature is slowly descending into slumber, we too turn inward and prepare for the winter to come.
Wees heel!

The Dark Magicians have long been working their hypnotism. It began with iconoclasm for conformity into Empire. Multiplicity of Gods cannot work when Gods are tied to blood and soil.
It continued with the combining of tribal codes of law and morality, which had prior always been a different thing than religion, into a single canon which conflated the two.
Then began the campaigns to tell the Gentiles (people of the Gens, the Ethne, the Clans, and the Kindreds) that they were without morality, their Gods were demons, and they, themselves, were barbarians in need of the redemption of Yahweh – the tribal daimon of the Hebrew people.
They built a Trojan Horse Golem and named it Yah-Saves (Yeshuah). Thus, when we accept the Trojan Horse into our hearts, our souls become oathed to upholding the Hebrew Holy Land to the detriment of our own.

Sadly, most WN have a tendency to fall into this line of thinking. I have seen WN praise Home Owner’s Associations, I have found in research that certain sects of the Klan supported the Baldwin-Felts agents in their fight against the White coal miners in the Coal Wars (while the same interests controlling the Baldwin-Felts were importing black scab labor from Alabama and other parts of the South!) I have even seen stupid shit saying that WN should appeal to our Western elites and overlords for concessions since they need us for war against Eastern interests!! Imagine that, appealing to the very apparatus that is oppressing us here in Amerikwa and elsewhere in Western Europe!!
I.e., don’t be a tool for the system taking advantage of your beliefs!! Don’t be a bootlicking dork thinking the system is EVER on your side!
