Did a Rumble video, talking about subjects, the heathen community seems to be hesitant about.

Utförda Blot 2025: Blotlag Ymer höll Midvinterblot 11 Januari 2025.

Ymer kallade till Midvinterblot den 11 januari. Det var en mörk och ganska blåsig kväll, men ändå otroligt vacker i skenet av fullmånen och lyktor i snön. Vi hann bara börja förbereda innan det blev uppslutning av deltagare, gamla som nya. Det var inte bara Uppsalabor, utan vissa hade åkt från Stockholm och Västerås, och andra hade åkt från Dalarna.

Blóts performed: Blót Kindred Ymer held Midwinter Blót on 11 January 2025.

Ymer called for the Midwinter Blót on 11 January. It was a dark and rather windy evening, but still incredibly beautiful in the light of the full moon and lanterns in the snow. We only had time to start preparing before there was a turnout of participants, old and new. It was not only Uppsala residents, but some had travelled from Stockholm and Västerås, and others had travelled from Dalarna.

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.

The runes will help you understand the place within yourself, the ancient place, that is designated for connection with your god—the force that once separated a part of itself to give rise to your consciousness.

A bookshelf essential imo.

Have you ever found yourself in a recurring dream where you return to the same unfamiliar places, only to feel as though you’ve been there before?

In these dreams, the locations might be entirely new to you in the waking world, yet they feel strangely familiar, as if you have lived there for a long time. It's like visiting a separate dimension, where the streets, layout, and even hidden places like secret exits feel known, and each time you return, it’s as though you’re picking up right where you left off….

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)

The runes will help you understand the place within yourself, the ancient place, that is designated for connection with your god—the force that once separated a part of itself to give rise to your consciousness. Understand what this connection does for you, what it protects you from; what it teaches you and what it points out as the lies of this world, which you personally must always combat. The runes will reveal all of this to you, but only if you are ready to accept the truth—about yourself, about this world, about this reality, about the people around you, and about your mutual and true relationships with each other.
