The Sun has been born again. Take this rebirth as an opportunity for you to be born again. Create a new you. Put away old vices, work on correcting character flaws, etc . May the next year bring you positive gains and healthy endeavors.

"Know you, if you have a friend, whom you trust well, and you want to make the best of him. You should mingle minds with him, and exchange gifts, go and visit him often."

- Odin - Havamal - 44

An exceptional individual maintains elevated standards for themselves, whereas an inferior person exerts their misery upon others around them.

As 2024 draws to a close and 2025 approaches now is the time to be mindful of what we want 2025 to be for us as individuals and as a Folk united.
Typically now is a time when people think about resolutions for the coming year. Think about what they want to change and what they want to try to accomplish. Resolutions are great, but as anyone who ever attended a gym regularly knows, those resolutions rarely last beyond the initial excitement of something new. Well meaning thoughts don't always equal real world action.
Far better to be realistic, set attainable goals and then go achieve them. Set meaningful goals..... I want to start living healthier for my children is a great goal. Living a more spiritual life in tune with my Gods and ancestors is a great goal.
We create our reality in most cases, our choices oftentimes create our lives. We can either build our lives up as shining examples of nobility or we can turn aside from our destiny and keep wallowing in the mud.
As 2024 turns to '25 let us as a folk begin to lift up who we are and become the man or woman who makes our ancestors proud and our descendants raise horns in our name long after we are gone.
