We are very busy with preparations for Folkish Summer Hallowing 2024. Just wanted to show off the artwork for the gigantic background tapestries we are having made. These, and other designs, will cover the walls to make Sumbel more aesthetic.

Tickets are on sale now at folkishsummerhallowing.com

Offerings were given to Þunor and Wōden. We were granted an obvious sign today.

Ġealdor Uses

The poetic meter known as Galdralag is designed to aid in spell casting. In the Hávamál, Wóden recites ġealdor within the context of spells. An important thing of note, is that even if the content of the verse is speaking about casting a spell, that those words are the spell itself, e.g. Hávamál 155 is a ġealdor of protection: “This I know: if I see Town-riders playing in the sky, I work it so that they go astray from their home-forms, from their home-minds”. Galdralag is also used as a memory aid, which serves the magical purpose of casting a spell of remembrance, i.e. casting a spell upon oneself. The repetitive nature of Galdralag aids in memorization, e.g. how Hávamál 112 serves to help Loddfáfnir remember & use the advice; it’s effectively casting a spell of mental retention.

Want everyone to know that our video on the Epic Method is almost complete! I am hoping to have it finished in the next day or so. This video will detail every aspect of our mythic school of thought: from its history to its development to its usage. You will see how, being the most evidentiary method, this is the most effective way to reconstruct our religion. This one has been a long time in the making!

I want everyone to know that we are only a couple steps away from finishing our most ambitious film project to date! This video is going to describe every facet of our Epic Method and why it is the most effective way to reconstruct our culture. From its history to its development and finally its application, you will learn all there is to know about our school of thought. This will complete our series on mythological schools, giving people a thorough understanding of why we do what we do.

We still need a handful of voice actors to volunteer to help us complete this project. If anyone can help us get this project done it will be greatly appreciated. Not only will this be a helpful tool for those of our faith, it is going to provide a legacy for everyone involved. This IS the future of reconstruction, and we hope you will join us!

Here are the following roles needed:

Viktor Rydberg: Swedish Male
Snorri Sturluson: Icelandic Male
Svend Grundtvig: Danish Male
Ursula Dronke: British Female
George Stevens: American Male

"The thrall alone takes instant vengeance; the coward never."

-Grettir's Saga-

Here we delve into the reasoning behind the notion that men driven by emotions are not suited for leadership roles, as illustrated in Grettir's Saga. The saga contrasts two types of reactions: immediate response, likened to a thrall's behavior, and no reaction, deemed cowardly.

The saga suggests that vengeance is appropriate only when atonement falls short. Instantaneous retaliation, driven by emotion, is indicative of a man lacking strength and control, often resulting in actions deemed effeminate and causing unnecessary conflict.

A leader, by contrast, embodies humility, strength, compassion, and emotional intelligence. Such a leader does not seek immediate ego satisfaction, especially when it could tarnish their reputation or negatively impact their followers.

The text asserts that excessive emotionality is a flaw, equating it with weakness and servitude.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity shown by all who have contributed to our fundraiser. Thanks to your support, we are on the brink of reaching a significant milestone!

We are just about halfway to the target of our next big step: making an offer. Your kindness and enthusiasm has brought us so far. We are truly humbled.

There's just a little further to go on the fundraiser before we can start making offers. Once we have a contract we can show you what we have planned.

The final leg of this fundraiser, after we are locked in, is to raise closing costs.

This is really happening guys. We are very close now.

You can help by contributing and by helping boost the signal. Every bit helps!
