This is a blog mainly about our ancestors and how we can revive everything good that used to be but is no longer.
As a Pagan man I reject the Christian concept of shame and humility in relation to our forebears. Whatever wrong our forebears did is no longer here, but everything good they did will always be with us. We should not only be proud of them ourselves, privately, but also actively do our best to preserve their memory. We are them, because we come from them and carry with us not only their DNA, but also their spirit. We live to add to the Honour of our forebears, whom we are ourselves.
Judeo-Christians would call this «bragging», but why would we care what these low-life, ignorant, Jew-worshiping slaves call it? We should brag about our origin, if we feel we have a reason to – and any great man in your family is of course such a reason! Brag! Tell us whom you come from, what good they did, what they achieved! If you do you also tell us who you are!
Europeans were not (originally) defined by their trade, but from where they came; their parents’ names and (later) their family (Ôðal) properties’ names – and then finally in the Christian era, by their trade.
In the Pagan past this is how they greeted strangers; they showed their empty weapon hands, if they came in peace, wished the strangers luck and joy, and told them about who they were. They gave them their names, their father’s names and where they came from, at least, and often also the names of their grandfathers and of great and famous men in their kin. They were honest, brave and proud! Why should we be different today? HailaR WôðanaR!
In memory of the dead who has returned!
