  • Thor’s Oak

    —“Donar’s Oak (Thor’s Oak) (Donnar=Thundee) was a legendary ancient tree sacred to the Germanic tribe of the Chatti, ancestors of the Hessians, and one of the most important sacred sites of the pagan Germanic peoples. According to the legend the tree stood at a location near the village of Geismar (today part of the town of Fritzlar) in northern Hesse, and was the main point of veneration of the Germanic deity known among the West Germanic Chatti tribes and most other Germanic tribes as ‘Donar (High German: Donner = thunder) and northern Germanics as Thor. It was deliberately chopped down in 723 and marked the beginning of the Christianization of the non-Frankish tribes of northern Germany.”—

  • a Heroic Vision of Life

    —-“What is really required to defend ‘the West’ against the sudden rise of these barbaric and elemental forces is the strengthening, to an extent perhaps still unknown to Western man, of a heroic vision of life. Apart from the military-technical apparatus, the world of the ‘Westerners’ has at its disposal only a limp and shapeless substance – and the cult of the skin, the myth of ‘safety’ and of ‘war on war’, and the ideal of the long, comfortable, guaranteed, ‘democratic’ existence, which is preferred to the ideal of the fulfilment which can be grasped only on the frontiers between life and death in the meeting of the essence of living with the extreme of danger.” ― Julius Evola, Metaphysics of War

    (Great brief conversation with Moritz Bierling about his observations of America. He caught everything important – although It’s clear he didn’t see old New England or the old south. He says he’ll write something about it. I hope so. I want to do the same for germany so I can hopefully deflate the german character and how it is sustained. He has other ideas that sound promising for germany and europe, as well.)

    “SHORT BUS” ( Russkiy: желтый дом )

    In America, the ‘disabled’ (retarded) children used to be (and maybe still are), herded to and from school in a ‘short bus’ which is literally.. a short bus.

    —“The idea of ‘riding the short bus’ is used in American English in much the same way that желтый дом (yellow house) is used in Russian as a reference to mentally retarded children. United States public school systems have an extensive bus program to transport children to and from school. Regular buses hold large amounts of children. Shorter buses are typically used for “Special Education” (i.e., the mentally retarded).”—

  • The Baltics Survived Abrahamism the Longest: And They Preserve Our History

    —-“Based on historical data, it is estimated that there are around 2500 sacred natural sites in Estonia, the largest of them covering up to 100 hectares. Although rather exceptional among most of the technologically developed countries, in Estonia both the sacred natural sites and indigenous customs connected to them are still in use. Therefore, the heritage that is connected to sacred natural sites has great importance to the national identity and environment of Estonians. In collaboration between followers of Estonian native religion (Maausk) and governmental ministries, a national plan was prepared in 2008: “Sacred Natural Sites in Estonia: Study and Conservation 2008–2012″ which includes about 550 hiis (sacred groves). The National Plan on Sacred Natural Sites consists of a historical overview about sacred natural sites in Estonia, a current situation analysis, and several concrete conservation measures and instructions on how to apply them. The coordinating steering committee of the Conservation Plan consist of Environment, Agriculture, Internal Affairs and Education and Research ministries, National Heritage Board and MK. The University of Tartu is the implementing agency. Measures of the Conservation Plan are designed to handle natural sanctuaries and values connected to them in all aspects. The Conservation Plan foresees creating a database which supports researching and managing natural sanctuaries. The database would consist of folkloric, archaeological, natural, historical and other data on sacred natural sites and provide information on the exact location, condition and form of ownership of each site.[13]”—-
