Leave some steak out for Wotan and some barley for Sleipner. Hail the Wild Hunt!

As odin rides on this first night of the Wildhunt we remember the 9 needs that cause us ill.

Famine
Misfortune
Transgression
Peril
War
Concealment
Poverty/Hunger
Infertility
Sickness/Plague

Odin shall ride for 9 nights, each night collecting beings that seek to bring harm to us.

We hang an offering upon our ward tree this night seeking favor with Odin, ol' oski himself, that he removes those ills which would bring famine to our homes. May the folk and the lands in which we live be purged of these evils.

Odin! Allfather! Hanging Tyr! we wish you luck on your hunt and give you gifts for your journey; may you hear our words and have favor over us!

On this morning as the sun rises, we hail Dagr and his sons with a prayer from Sigdrifumal.

"Heill dagr!
Heilir dags synir!
Heil nótt ok nift!
Óreiðum augum lítið okkr þinig
ok gefið sitjöndum sigr!

Heilir æsir!
Heilar ásynjur!
Heil sjá in fjölnýta fold!
Mál ok mannvit gefið okkr mærum tveim
ok læknishendr, meðan lifum."

"Hail, day! | Hail, sons of day!
And night and her daughter now!
Look on us here | with loving eyes,
That waiting we victory win.

"Hail to the gods! | Ye goddesses, hail,
And all the generous earth!
Give to us wisdom | and goodly speech,
And healing hands, life-long.

Over the past several moons, I have seen and still see a massive backlash towards syncretists. So much so that I have seen many of them back down from their rhetoric and frequency of it, to backing down from debates.
This fight to preserve our folkish identity and ways has grown in strength and we have gained power, unity and friendships through speaking out as a chorus.
As Odin says,
"When you see evil, speak out against it..."

Hail to all of you for defending our ethnic and folkish faiths ?? As we approach the Solstice and reflect on the year, let us rejoice in the knowledge that folkish faith is stronger and will continue to grow. Let us give thanks and hail to our folk!

There is a spiritual immune system that all have. It helps one to recognize what's for them in their lives and what is to be disregarded. If one follows it, eventually, they will find a fulfilling lifestyle and appropriate spiritual practices.

With the modern era of degradation of patriarchal and authoritative heirachies, we have to recalibrate our alignment with our spiritual immunities. This starts with physical health and mental diet. If your body is sick, it can not register the intuitive or gut response to negative influences. If the mind is corroded and wavering, it will not be ready to discriminate between what is true and healthy and what is degenerate or ill. This expresses itself more potently through the families we produce and the legacy we leave behind.

Our folk are stirring more each day as the corrosive monist/monotheistic perspective having given birth to its predecessor in progressivism. A universalistic ideal only succeeds in causing confusion and degrading cultures. This is becoming exceedingly evident as our age with communications through the internet. As the awareness of humanity grows through another 'printing press' level change in communication, all are able to see the evidence of the degeneracy we have inherited.

As we have such excessive amounts of noise coming through at an unprecedented pace, a good spiritual immune system is paramount for traversing the road ahead. Knowing what we believe and how it is indeed imbued by the Gods, authenticated by our ancestral lineage and exercised with honor and piety in our tribes, will rapidly work to heal our folk soul. A foundation is being built that will echo on indefinitely through our children.

We are learning discernment, discretion, and distinction. Cutting ties with worldviews and ethics that detract from us and embodying that which empowers us. In the near future, as we build legacy, our children will be born to a healthier spiritual climate for themselves. A bright future is building for us. We must vitalitize our spiritual immune system. Be disciplined in body and mind. Embody strong and heroic ethics. Leave the laissez-faire and undisciplined for the last men.

We must embody virtue, vitality, and victory. It's in our blood.

From kin to kin blood is sworn,
Honor man to man,
No freedom is owned which he cannot hold,
Yet freedom is their bond,
For one is their blood and banners,
Honor born of oaths shared eternal Frith,
No tribe or tongue can wedge between,
Blood upon the golden rings.

Defended by might and truth,
Kinsmen share the cup,
Blood and steel would wound be healed,
If others defiled this troth,
No stranger does mingle in,
Unfaithful in our brood,
Blood and steel would wound be healed,
Dishonor not easily soothed.

Be true to those who truly find,
With words we search it out,
For oath an oath is kinsmens help,
Never should they doubt,
It is our road to dully travel well,
Near or abroad,
And no hearth is fully warmed,
Lest kin with kin sit well within,
We brighten each other's hearts.

From kin to kin blood is sworn,
Honor man to man,

Blood upon the golden rings.
