  • Hello Folkrealms
    I am happy to see you all here and this community building.
    Though with building theres always hiccups, and those hiccups the past few days are the reports I've gotten that were for Hate Speech and Antisemitic content.
    I would like to kindly ask, keep the politics, racism, volkish, and white supremacist things off of Folkrealms.
    This is a place of spirituality, a place where all walks of life can share their journeys, connect and be one. Let's honor that and stick to what this site was for with our content.
    FolkRealms – A thriving community for seekers of culture, stories, and traditions. Connect, share knowledge, and celebrate the ties that bind us all.

  • Just for fun, what's everyone's Genealogy?
    I myself have never done a DNA test, and I've thought about doing one to see what all pops up.
    However, I got a lot of family records, and of course my family living in different countries helps. As of now, my family is spread between 4 countries. Denmark, Sweden, Ireland and the United States. Though I've been told I have very distant family in Norway and Iceland.

    From my mom's side, from family and records, my family is of course Primarily Danish, and there's some North Germany in there, Swedish, and a little bit of Irish in there from certain family members.
    On my dad's side, it is Irish and Danish from my current living family. However based on last names, and down history we can find, we believe there's some Norman and Anglo-Saxon way down the line. But over the last 100 years in the family, Denmark and Ireland were places my family were around most, with some going back and forth from Sweden and Denmark, and my family that settled and stayed in Ireland on my mother's side. My dad's side had settled in Ireland quite a bit longer, with some of our records going back and forth from Ireland and Scandinavia for quite a while, with family from Denmark establishing themselves as early as 14th century if our records are correct.
    My dad was actually born and immigrated from Ireland which is kind of cool, because as much of a Dane as I am, since my mother's family immigrated from Denmark, I've always just known myself as a Danish American. I only met my dad in the last few years of my life and began learning all this information at least from his side of the family and it's pretty cool knowing and learning things about my family.
    All this information has made me want to get a DNA test and see what it says, and what I can piece together for a further back family tree. Though i may find out by blood im far less Danish than i think i am, which is a bit saddening lol, none the less, most of my family lives in Denmark, and I'll always stand by the good saying, Fuck Dig Jeg Er Dansker!
    Anyways show me some DNA tests and let's talk about some history!

  • With more members here on Folkrealms I would like to ask is anyone here in Colorado, preferably Western Colorado?
    I run a Forn Seð organization called Úlfung, and I like to extend invitations to the Norse Pagans of Colorado to check it out if they are interested in connecting with a local group. We cover the whole of Colorado, having members from all over the state, and have just recently got up to 200 members!
    Our main operations and where we run the organization is in Western Co, and sadly things are still lacking for the East side of the state members, but we are working on that, unfortunately building this sort of thing is a bit difficult.
    We also love partnering with other Forn Seð organizations and Norse Pagan groups around the world to help expand the heathen community and continue the growth of our spiritual following.

  • Younger and Elder Futhark Bone sets from Grim frost. Sadly Reið wasn't painted on in the younger set so I had to paint it on the bone myself, but no problem there! These came in some really nice leather bags, and are made from some pretty dense bone. Not too bad.
    I like collecting different rune sets, even if this wasn't how the runes were used by Nordic and Germanic people, I do like to carry pouches of these wonderful staves.

  • Fellow Danes may want to tie a rock to me and throw me in the Sea for giving props to Sweden on languages but I'll say, the limited Danish I did speak growing up of course had all the curse words and naughty words, but with that, I always liked to say the Swedish 'Helveta' instead of the Danish Helvede, because I liked the sharpness of 'Helveta'. Don't hate me guys!
    Haha, Good Morning Folkrealms! :)
