Many people wonder how bad art, music, television, and much else have managed to seem "cool" among today's youth and even many adults. It's a very simple and easy trick to achieve. No matter how talentless, tacky, or pathetic something is, all the government has to do is make it seem as if it's counter-culture, then young people will fall for its trap and convince themselves it's something to admire. This is why rap music, bad clothing, and much else have replaced the class that various institutions have worked hard to destroy.

Remarkable genetic continuity!

A Distant Idyll by Charles Allan Winter

Jacob Grimm recorded a survival of Woden worship in Blekinge, Sweden and Mecklenburg, wherein farmers would leave a section of rye unharvested for Odin’s horse. They would braid the tops together and sprinkle them with water, take off their hats and bow, and recite thrice;

"Woden, take care of your horse now, with thistle and thorn,
so next year we may have better corn!"
Another version was;
"Woden, Woden, feed your horse now, with thistle and thorn, next year, better corn!"

He noted that it was said during winter nights, he could be heard roaming the fields with his hunting dogs (Freki and Geri?).

This was likely a remnant of offerings on Winterfylleth and/or Álfablót; in the Austrfararvísur, Odin is mentioned during a sacrifice to the Álfar. In rural regions of Scandinavia and Germany, the Old Ways never fully disappeared.

I've had this piece in the works since 2020. Circumstances prevented me from finishing it sooner, but at long last it is finally done! I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I hope She will be as well.
