🇬🇧 text is further down in the post. 3500 år gammalt gravröse skövlas – kulturarvet offras för Norrbotniabanan! Ett av våra äldsta och mest värdefulla fornminnen, ett 3500 år gammalt gravröse från bronsåldern i Junkboda utanför Skellefteå, ska nu brutalt förstöras för att ge plats åt den nya järnvägen Norrbotniabanan. Vid en förundersökning upptäcktes gravkammaren – ett utrymme stort nog för en människa, omslutet av massiva stenhällar och täckt av runda stenar, det klassiska kännetecknet för ett gravröse. Nu ska detta ovärderliga minnesmärke utplånas. Och detta är bara början. Gravröset är långt ifrån det enda offret för detta skoningslösa infrastrukturprojekt. Hundratals fornminnen har redan identifierats som hinder för bygget, och fler kommer att gå samma öde till mötes. Vår historia suddas ut, vårt kulturarv raderas – allt i effektiviseringens och exploateringens namn. Att medvetet utplåna vår historia och vårt kulturarv är inte bara en skam – det är en skandal! Vi har en skyldighet att skydda det som återstår av våra förfäders arv, inte jämna det med marken. Att offra våra forntida minnesmärken för modern expansion är en skymf mot både vår historia och framtida generationer.

One of our oldest and most valuable ancient monuments, a 3,500-year-old Bronze Age burial cairn in Junkboda outside Skellefteå, is now set to be brutally destroyed to make way for the new Norrbotnia railway line. During a preliminary investigation, the burial chamber was discovered—a space large enough for a human, enclosed by massive stone slabs and covered with rounded stones, the classic hallmark of a burial cairn. Now, this invaluable monument is about to be erased. And this is just the beginning. The burial cairn is far from the only victim of this ruthless infrastructure project. Hundreds of ancient remains have already been identified as obstacles to construction, and more will meet the same fate. Our history is being erased, our cultural heritage obliterated—all in the name of efficiency and exploitation. Deliberately destroying our history and cultural heritage is not just a disgrace—it is a scandal! We have a duty to protect what remains of our ancestors’ legacy, not level it to the ground. Sacrificing our ancient monuments for modern expansion is an insult to both our history and future generations.

Graduate program is a no go. Well, back to doing more important things... like making garments. Getting my sewing tools together. Will be posting progress as progress goes.

because I received a warning from a moderator that I had uploaded a "Nazi symbol" to the community, and that makes me laugh a little, because most of the symbols shouldn't be uploaded because they were used by the Nazis.

Someone please explain THIS to me. I looked up "Can I wear a sword in public?" "While open gun carry may be legal in some places, openly carrying a sword is generally not allowed because swords are perceived as more inherently threatening and likely to cause alarm in the public compared to a firearm, even when openly displayed; this is due to their historical association with violence and the difficulty in controlling a sword compared to a gun in a public setting". So walking down the street wearing a high capacity large caliber pistol is inherently safer than wearing an ULFBERHT? So a gun has less "historical association" with violence? WTF? The Focking NRA is indeed the most powerful group in the country. OK. So after a little more research I've discovered that here in Georgia...You can walk down a public street openly carrying the same weapon as a Russian soldier in combat in Ukraine while in California (The most liberal state in the country) you can walk around wearing a sword. Lucy...You got some splainin to do!

For Thurseblot durning the first full moon of the year. Hail to the ancient Jotnar, Guardians of the wild and untamed, I offer a feast of meat, eggs and honey mead from my land. To honor your strength and wisdom. Thor, son of Jord, who battles with might, Loki, trickster of the frost, Skadi, fierce goddess of the mountains, I acknowledge your kin, the giants of old. May this offering be a bridge Between the realms of man and Jotunheim, Bringing peace, understanding, and respect. Hail to the Jotnar, ancient and enduring.

Spent some time near the mountains in Cumbria, got snowed in so camped in my van for a few days, had everything I needed & made the most of it! It's amazing how well we adapt when we cannot change the circumstances and embrace them ❄️

Hi everyone, I'm a landscape photographer (among other things) and passionate about Norse mythology and history. I have recently taken these pictures in my local forest after a cold and frosty night. I like to call them "Fimbulvetr" as described in the Ragnarökr from the Gylfaginning texts. Hope you enjoy them!

This is a repost as we get closer...... Some history on the changing or standardizing of the Yule celebration. Hákon the Good (c. 920–961) was the son of Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway, and was raised in England, where he converted to Christianity. When he became king of Norway, he sought to convert his people to Christianity as well, but this was met with resistance from the pagan Norse population. He worked to integrate Christian practices with traditional Norse customs to avoid conflict, which is where the idea of "moving" or adjusting the timing of Yule might come into play. Hákon the Good is known to have issued laws that required the Christian observance of certain Christian holidays, while also allowing Norse traditions to continue, including aspects of the Yule festival. One of his key moves was to decree that the feast of Yule should be celebrated at the same time as the Christian holiday of Christmas, which was closely tied to the Winter Solstice. This alignment helped to ease the transition for the Norse people, as they could continue celebrating at the same time as they had before, but now under a Christian framework. In this sense, while Hákon the Good didn't technically "move" the date of Yule (which already had Solstice associations), he helped standardize the timing of the celebration with the Christian observance of Christmas. His efforts contributed to the Christianization of the Yule festival, making it more in line with Christian customs while preserving key elements of the older pagan tradition. Dr. Andreas Nordberg: “The pre-Christian Yule feast occurs at the first full moon after the first new moon following the winter solstice, while the disting took place at the third full moon according to the same method of calculation.” (Jul, disting och förkyrklig tideräkning Kalendrar och kalendariska riter i det förkristna Norden Uppsala 2006, P.4)
