Went to the Blue Mountains in Australia π¦πΊ.
There is something immensely spiritual about being close to where the Earth meets the Sky.
There is a reason why these types of areas are seen as liminal and religious in a primal core sense to different people around the world.
The beauty alone brings a sense of awe.

In the current "conflict" in the Middle East between Abrahamic entities, the leader of Israel, Netanyahu, decided to invoke historical events in order to sway some to his side.
With this, he stated βI want to tell you that 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, liberated the Jews. And today, a Jewish state is creating the means to liberate the Persian people,β
What he doesn't mention is that Cyrus was a Zoroastrian king. Zoroastrianism, though in its developments, has many things i don't agree with, was an Indo-European / Aryan faith, and while influencing Judhaism and Christianity, and by proxy and proximity Islam, was a vastly different religion to the Islam that conquered Persia / Iran.
Interestingly enough, there is a large group of people in Iran who apparently are an oppressed minority that are Zoroastrian.
But is liberation really the goal of these individuals who represent an Abrahamic hegemony? Or is it a manipulation tactic for validation?
Note: Iran has many UNESCO sites.

European Paganism (regardless of the flavor) was very legalistic. And in my opinion, it should still be slightly so. Rituals and rites reflect those of both faith and conduct.
We wouldn't know Dane Law, Greek politics, Roman Republic governance, the Germanic Thing /folkmoot, as well as others, if it weren't for the fact that the people had legal systems of governance, conduct, and spiritual life.

On this day in 363, 1,662 years ago, Julian the Apostate went to the Gods after he was mortally wounded in battle.
βAnd as all around were weeping, he reproved them with still undiminished authority, saying that it was a humiliating thing to mourn for an emperor who was just united to heaven and the stars.β

There was a discussion on X (with BAP and others) about a man's age and quality of life. I posted the following:
βEvery stage of life has its ups and downs.
Aside from my recent woes, I am more potent in every way now at 35 than I was at 25 or 15. Quality of life is also higher β just being feels better now. I must peak at 60 (just as Leonidas at Thermopylae).
That said, a wish I have for this summer is to play a game of Diplomacy. I am honestly unsure if I will be able to β it requires seven players and 7-8 hours. At 15, this was not a problem β now, it is a bit harder.
So, my two goals for this year are to:
1. Shift the Moral Framework to save European civilisation.
2. Play a game of Diplomacy (if that is not too much to ask π ).β

If you have your head on straight.
Your eyes set on goals.
Your heart with your people.
And your spirit with the Gods.
Then, 30s and even 40s of as much unlimited potential as any set of years.

Very much this.
Ancestor reverence is one of the Core and Primal aspects of any spiritual / religious practice and belief.
The Cosmos brought forth the Gods.
The Gods brought forth your ancestors and are there by also your most ancient ancestors.
Your ancestors brought forth you.
It is a divine sacred circle and continuum.

This is sadly a true statement.
Wish Europeans and Americans were spreading Gothic or Victorian architecture across the world.
Given the right drive and means we would once again.
