When the tribe is strong

Today, I believe the majority of people in England have lost who we truly are and what it means to be a Saxon. We have lost touch with our Saxon lore and history. we have been wrenched away from our ancestral heritage and our faith in the old god's which are our link to our own roots. The modern world seeks to destroy our family's, faith, our role as parents even our gender. We need to look back to way our people used to live. Until Christianity came along our people thrived, living in connection with nature and the four seasons with the transit of the heavens. 

Before writing and the internet we got our knowledge about how to survive   and how to treat each other,  from our elders. They may not have been  able to weald a spear, but they held in their minds the tribal wisdom & lore the stories reminded us to how to hunt  fish trap and gather. They could tell us, which herb and fungi could be used for healing, which to avoid. The elders were once the font of all our knowledge, they earnt respect. Today the old are given no respect they are locked up in care homes ignored. The younger generations are too arrogant to ask for advice or seek wisdom. This attitude towards the older members of our people comes from the political class, the swamp.  nothing is sacred to the our political rulers as long as we pay our taxes mortgages and credit cards.

In the  old times, the elders were our connection to life itself to the natural world. It is from our elders songs and stories were learnt and passed down around the fires. It was the elders who told us where we came from and our the creation of the world the gods. Today we have no tales, we have a society a giant faceless unaccountable entity. that cares for non of us. 

Our heathen faith is built on community on respect for all members of the community but especially to the older members, our kindreds,  are built on family's and  offer security and shelter substance and support life and laughter. So remember, when the kindred is strong it's members are strong when members are strong the kindred is strong. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                          

MAY DAY

Yesterday was Mayday, across Europe the far-left held their Socialist parades. In hundreds of remote places in Ireland and the Celtic areas of the British isles, fires were lit to welcome the Sun. 

Beltaine Fires in Ireland

Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30^th 1945 and his body was given to the Beltaine flames, April 30^th is of course on the eve of ancient feast of Beltaine held on May day. Fire always played an important art in pre Christian rituals of the sun, the fire festival of the ancient  Celts across Europe was held on May day. This Spring fire festival was held to encourage and celebrate the rebirth of the Sun. It is my belief, Hitler choose this day to sacrifice his body to fire and the Aryan fire god Agni, as a signal that he will one day be re-born.   

To the Celts Mayday and October 31st mark the bisection of the new year into two halves at the beginning of May and November and date from a time, when the British were still followers of the old pagan god's. Beltaine was the greatest festival of our Celtic forebears, when they advanced towards the night with firebrands to liberate the sun from the bondage of its winter death the food at Betaine was Fish, Goose and Boar drawn respectively from the spheres of Water, Air and  Earth.

ULLCOMBE

 Don't expect this blog or a book to make you wise, you need to see for yourself what is true , because that is the only way you can learn anything. This is how you gain wisdom in life.

The Asatru faith should be a thing not only of the mind but also of the heart, if you want to really experience our gods it's important you get out in the countryside remember our gods are nature the twitter of a bird the leaves rustling on the trees, the sound of water in a stream. Everything in nature is part of the gods and the noises and signs in the countryside are the ways our gods reach out to us as the materialised thoughts of the gods and earth spirits. Visiting ancient sites connected to our faith is therefore very important. 

In the church yard of All Saints Ullcombe church in Kent, grows a  giant magical Yew that pagans call `Heimir’ it’s is one of the oldest trees in southern England. A Plaque in the church yard claims the tree is 2,000 year old, but it could be century's older. The pagans who visit and care for the tree claim, when the immortal gods of Asgard banished the giant race from middle earth and the black sun shone this yew was already old.

The Yew which was mentioned in Doomsday book, was the burial site for wodens kin before church was built. Six Jutish kings were buried here including Hengist and his son Oisic, who ruled kent for 24 years, from 488 to 516 after Hengists death were both buried at Ullcombe. Those who travel there and tie a offering on the tree that is old in years but wise and cunning do so to embrace it's power, by seeing, touch and feeling it. While those who only read about it on this blog can't and will never understand its power.

THE HEART OF OUR FAITH

 

 

  

At The heart of our faith is a simple wisdom or common sense a practical path of how we should live our lives and behave. It's about examining and explaining the basic questions of life. It's about questioning your experience, your beliefs, your traditions with a free mind to see the truth .To find the truth we must not be afraid to examine anything including our own agenda. It is not about accepting what I write or say, its the opposite; it's about examining the world and carefully testing idea's. The god's dwells within us they see through our eyes throbs through our limbs breathes through our lungs and roams unendingly in our fields of awareness.in both the hard earth beneath us the world of the star world above our forefathers they are with us. But this truth can only be experienced if your heart has accepted the truth of Asatru.
