    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.

    3,500-Year-Old Burial Cairn Destroyed – Cultural Heritage Sacrificed for the Norrbotnia Line!

    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.

  • Journey with me through the winter solstice alpenglow at my little abode in Interior Alaska. As this space nears completion, I look forward to opening its doors to others—a sanctuary dedicated to Freyja, where guests can rediscover their authentic selves and find renewed connection with Mother Nature.

    Nestled on five acres of boreal and mixed birch forest, the property borders the vast 1.8 million acre Tanana Valley State Forest on one side, with the breathtaking Tanana River just down the road on the other. This beautiful location has been incredibly transformative for me in the 9 months that I've spent here thus far, and I'm so excited to share more with you all as the journey progresses.

  • 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!

  • Look at that cover, for the new upcoming album "Heljar Gátt" made by Kessi, the Fuimadane cover designer and a huge helping hand on the creation of the music. She did so well, once again ๐Ÿ›กโš”๐Ÿ—ก I/we hope, that you guys will enjoy the new music on the album. The music distribution service is having a holiday break atm, so it's not sure that the album will be on Spotify & iTunes by the 10th of January, but it will be available on YouTube, Soundcloud & Bandcamp by the 10th :) Oh and it will also be a free download on Bandcamp Take care all you wonderful people !

  • Norse code.
    The use of genetic ancestry to trace history and probe events of the past is challenging because ancestries in many locations are relatively similar, making it hard to distinguish groups and populations. In January edition of Nature Magazine, The researchers use a new technique to examine the genomic history of early medieval Europe. This allowed them to track the expansion of two streams of Scandinavian-related ancestry across the continent, as well a later stream of ancestry expanding into Scandinavia before the Viking Age (around 750–1050). The cover is inspired by the serpentine carvings found on Viking Age runestones and features the Elder Futhark runes for the DNA nucleotides A, T, G and C (K). — show less

  • 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.

  • Decided to create a page on here with the hope that like-minded old souls who hold nature and the old gods sacred will find and enjoy the music I have been gifted with to bring forth into this realm and find healing within. This song was intuitively channeled and Freyja's name came though. When I close my eyes listening back to it I see a raven flying high above snow crowned mountains, icy fjords & vast frost covered forests... If you wish to share the visions you see while listening comment below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49MHFEZFTUE
