The Connection Between the Sinking of the Titanic and World War I PART 1 "Recently, I became intrigued by the connection between two significant events: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Historically, these events are closely spaced, and from an occult perspective, a connection can also be discerned. To initiate and conduct a war, a substantial amount of energy is required, and it seems this energy was gathered through the sacrifice of the passengers who perished on the Titanic. But how can we truly determine if these two events are linked?" Between 1912 and 1914, there was also the year 1913, which saw another crucial event that influenced the trajectory of the 20th century up to the present day. This event is as significant as the onset of World War I in 1914: the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, which later became effectively the world bank. Conspiracy theories suggest that the sinking of the Titanic was primarily connected to this event rather than the beginning of World War I. These theories assure us that among the Titanic's passengers were industrialists, bankers, and magnates who were staunchly opposed to the formation of the Federal Reserve System. This system is not a government entity of the United States but rather a consortium of private banks. The project had grand plans and great prospects. The sinking of the Titanic is said not to be linked to sacrificial offerings or even ritualistic murder, but rather to the assassination of undesirable opponents. This is the narrative put forth by conspiracy theories. The subsequent formation of conditions that escalated into the war of 1914 is a consequence of the events of 1913. For such a new systemic formation to arise, an event that disrupts the economy and resources of those who might oppose it more seriously than mere words is generally required. The competitors included the states of Europe and the Russian Empire, which was still a monarchy at the time. A few provocative steps were taken, and the war was unleashed, incorporating both ritualistic actions and occult motives. Ksenia Menshikova

I had a very new friend die just now. I want to share with you all something vulnerable and personal. I hope it is ok with me sharing this. If anything, maybe this can shed some light on someone else struggling with this. This is going to be a long post, and I don't expect many to read it all the way through... or even fucking understand what I am trying to say. Trust me, I am used to people having no clue when I talk about this, including doctors and therapists. I think I just need to get some of this off my chest for now. He was a fan of mine for over 2 years and just realized recently the beard care products he was buying was made by the same dude, me. He reached out to me back in December with a long email and asked me what inspires me to my core. I sent him a long email back explaining that my "inspiration" is honestly more of a curse rather than blessing and explained how almost all my life I experience something called "Óðr" in Old Norse, translated to something like frenzied inspiration or divine madness, but there isn't really a proper word for it in English. For me though it is very vivid which leads to insomnia, mania and psychosis if I don't get what is in my head... out of my head. This happens with my music, my scents in my products and through my artwork. This resorts in me basically sacrificing everything in the pursuit of literally not going insane. (I can go more into this in another post, but for the time being let's just leave it here). He responded back in a very long email explaining to me that my email and my explanation of Óðr put into perspective his entire childhood and how he too suffers from something similar, but he must draw it from his mind. If he doesn't draw it exactly how it is in his head, he has to keep trying. He had tried to see doctors for it and they all labeled him having a form of OCD, but there was nothing else in his life that was even remotely related to OCD. My therapist thought I had a form of schizophrenia, but I doubt that. With everything I had said, for the first time he felt understood. For the first time, there was someone else out there that knew exactly what he dealt with. I mean, damn, for the first time I felt someone else finally understood what the fuck I have to deal with. For him though, it got so serious in his head this led to attempted suicide twice not being able to get this out of his head in time. Through these conversations and vulnerabilities shared, a bond was made unique to anything I have ever experienced. It was a bond that felt spiritual. Fast forward to about a week ago, he told me he was losing weight rapidly and went to the doctor and got the blood tests back and they found out he had pancreatic cancer. The doctor told him that he doesn't have much time and needed to get his things in order for his family because surgery/chemo is not possible. It was too late. He died a few hours ago. The thing that fucks me up the most is that it was my music that made him feel at ease when dealing with Óðr for the past 2 years without even knowing it was because of Óðr I wrote those very songs, and it was my music that has been playing nonstop for the last 2 days now easing him into the abyss next to his wife and children. According to his wife, it will be my music at his wake/funeral. I just want you all to know I read every one of your comments. I read every one of your private messages and try to respond to everything I can. I grew a very unique bond with this man when realizing that we struggle through the same mental state that is so unknown and undiagnosed. The number of messages I receive from you all about how my music affects you on a very unique and deep level... I see you. I cherish you. <3 I had a song called Hel's Embrace I planned on releasing when I released the full Helsa's Saga. Hel's Embrace is the 6th chapter to that saga. I will be dedicating the track in memory of him and plan on releasing it soon instead. Rest in peace, brother. 🍻 "Kven skal synge meg i daudsvevna slynge meg... ...Du er løyst frå banda som batt deg" - Einar Selvik

About the upcoming Disablót. The Disablót is one of the most famous blót´s, and like the Midvinter blót/yule one of the most misunderstood blót´s. The Disablót did not take place at the beginning of February, but at the third month called Göja/Göje (today between around the end of February and mid-March). It was when the Swedes were Christianized that the Disting/Disablót was moved to the Christian holiday of the Candle Mass, which is at the beginning of February (today on February 2) and even today Disting market is organized. Disting/Disablót is mentioned by Adam of Bremen, according to him, this simply takes place in Old Uppsala in the month of Göje after the vernal equinox and all inhabitants of Svitjod (Sweden) had to participate, if they did not want to participate they had to pay a fine. The disablót is deeply rooted in the veneration of the Disir´s – a group of powerful female forces closely associated with destiny, fertility, protection, and the general well-being of the family and community. The Disir´s are central figures in the Asatru, they are linked to the Nornirs who determine our destinies but also to the fylgior´s, thus the Disir´s are revered in part as ancestral guardians who exert a profound influence over our lives. They watch over their kin, guarantee prosperity, offer protection and guidance through both everyday and spiritual challenges. But the disir´s are also associated with the Valkyries and the Vanadis Freya. The Disablót falls on the first full moon before the Victory Blót and lasts for one day/night. If you want to use the disting-rule, the Disablót is the third full moon after the first new moon after the winter solstice. The disting occurs every nine years with the same calculation. Every nine years the Disting was held. The event lasted for 9 nights, a market was organised, horse races, parties and, of course, the usual blót, etc. The market survived Christianisation and is still organised today, but around a Christian holiday. In the Icelandic sources it is mentioned that the Disablót was performed in connection with the holiday of Winter Nights, this is probably the Icelanders’ and Norwegians’ time for the Disablót while the Swedes held it in the spring.

Did a nice trance! Love this. I keep hearing this is the year of the snake SHAMANIC DRUMMING and DEEP VIKING CHANTS • DEEP TRANCE Humming Journey for Spiritual Awakening https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nopmz-_kvG0&pp=ygUWY2VsdGljIGRydW1taW5nIHRyYW5jZQ%3D%3D

I don't usually have time for it, and I know it's pop culture/fantasy and in no way related to pagan spirituality, but one of my guilty pleasures (besides IKEA hazelnut chocolate) is the video game, Valheim. 🫣 Lame, I know. Why am I like this?
