Gemeinschaft

Wo einer denkt, entsteht ein kleiner Funke, wo tausend denken, wird daraus ein Licht!
Ein Tröpfchen Wasser reicht noch nicht zum Trunke, und ein Erkenntniskorn genügt noch nicht.

Erst wenn dasselbe viel Millionen fühlen, erst wenn uns allesamt ein Ding bewegt,
Kann unser Handeln jenen Wert erzielen, der die Gewähr für beßre Zukunft trägt.

Aus der Gemeinschaft muß Erlösung kommen, denn sie allein befruchtet unsern Geist, aus ihr hat mancher schon die Kraft genommen, die Mauern und Gebäude niederreißt.

Wo einer schreitet, geht sein Schritt verloren, wo tausend schreiten, ist ihr Gang voll Wucht, drum haben wir uns unlösbar verschworen und fügen uns in Ordnung, Sinn und Zucht!

Das Lied der Getreuen

Deine Ahnen blicken auf dich und dein Wirken. Der entwurzelte Mensch glaubt frei zu sein, da keine Grenzen oder Pflichten im Weg stehen. Man kann jedem Trieb nachgehen. Das ist jedoch keine Freiheit, das ist der freie Fall.

In dir leben tausende von Generationen. Und wenn du an der Reihe bist das Erbe zu tragen, ist es deine Pflicht dieses Erbe vollständig weiter zu geben. Es ist Schutz vor Feindkräften, es ist geladen mit Energie, Wissen und Magie. Materie, Gene, Gefühle sind Wellen und können nicht verloren gehen. Es sei denn du entscheidest dich gegen deine Ahnen. Die daraus resultierende Stille wäre für diese Welt ein Verlust.

Reading, in depth, on jötnar and gýgjar. (Wikipedia)

The name Aurvandill caught my eye and with further reading I found that J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by it. Thinking back, I believe a friend in high school had explained this to me long ago.

I feel as though it has taken me too long to finally apply myself to reading more in depth.

The historical dates of Yule.

2 sources:

Hakon the Good was a Norwegian king, who tried to force Christianity on Norway (hence he is called “the Good.”) In the Saga of Hakon the Good, Hakon moved Yule from its traditional time on the Heathen Lunar calendar, to be at the same time as christian celebration called christmas.

Chapter 15 of the saga "Hakon the Good":
“King Hakon was a good Christian when he came to Norway; but as the whole country was heathen, with much heathen blot, and as many great people, as well as the favor of the common people, were to be conciliated, he resolved to practice his Christianity in private. But he kept Sundays, and the Friday fasts, and some token of the greatest holy-days. He made a law that the festival of Yule should begin at the same time as Christian people held it, and that every man, under penalty, should brew a meal of malt into ale, and therewith keep the Yule holy as long as it lasted. Before him, the first night of Yule was on hǫkunótt, that is midwinter night, and Yule was held for three nights."

The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg Chapter 17 (circa 925 AD):
"As I have heard odd stories concerning their ancient mid-winter sacrifices (blots), I will not allow this custom to be ignored. The middle of that kingdom is called Lederun (Lejre), in the region of Sjælland, all the people gathered every nine years in January, that is after we have celebrated the birth of the Lord, and there they offered to their gods sacrifices…”

Let's talk Laugardagr, being clean and having hygiene.
I'll start with, I apologize if this offends you for some reason, as unfortunately it has before.

I commonly see the days of the week posted quite regularly in Norse Pagan groups,
Sunnadagr
Manadagr
Tyrsdagr
Odinsdagr
Thorsdagr
Friggsdagr
And
Saturns Day.
Wait thats not right...
I see this all the time, everyone puts Saturns Day, and the entirety of Laugardagr is just tossed to the side.
So today, the reason i want to speak on it, of course is knowledge, since many people dont know of Laugardagr.

Laugardagr is Wash Day. The day to get clean, wash yourself, wash your clothes. And just be clean, because that was an important thing to the culture. The Norse people, Vikings ect, weren't dirty hobos. They valued their cleanliness. And so should you.
And this is why I prefaced the beginning with the sorry if this offends, because in my experience, going to events, Blóts, festivals ect. I see, and have met so many Norse Pagans that only have a fantasy concept of a Viking, being a barbarian, with unkempt hair and beard, covered in dirt, and is tbe ultimate man who doesn't need no baths! I've even met some who have directly told me "Im a Viking, Im a man so I don't need to do all that gay shit". While smelling like unwashed scrotum and feces.
Of course majority of this is men, but I've seen it with women too in all the Norse Pagan and Viking things I've attended. It's baffling.
So remember, Laugardagr (Saturday), the day to clean yourself and freshen up. Though in today's time most of us have the convenience to clean up each day and always be presentable. Comb your beard, brush your hair, throw on some deodorant, make yourself presentable, and "Be a Viking" and tackle your days everyone, and remember our ancestors valued their cleanliness.

The classic runic formula associated with the god Thor is known as "Thor’s Hammer" or Mjölnir. The sequence, Thurisaz - Teiwaz - Thurisaz, combines two powerful runes linked to Thor and one connected to Tyr, amplifying Thor's strength twofold.
Tyr’s rune, Teiwaz, awakens inner truth, while Thor’s rune, Thurisaz, safeguards it. Together, this formula serves as a formidable shield—not only against external threats like magical attacks or witchcraft but also against inner challenges and conflicts. It provides comprehensive protection, balancing inner clarity with outer defense.
