Recently I have been enamored with the origins of the Æsir Gods of the Germanic Folk. More specifically Búri; the progenitor of, and the first of the Æsir.
Notably, throughout the rest of our sacred legends, there are very few instances of Búri mentioned. A sacred mystery no doubt. But there are instances of the Æsir building altars, shrines and holy places, "On the Itha-field met the mighty gods; shrines and temples they timbered high, forges they formed to fashion gold, tongs they did shape and tools they made;" Voluspa stanza 7.
Is it possible that the Æsir worship Búri their primordial progenitor, and that this same worship which the Æsir pioneered was handed to us? This, if held to be true, is internally consistent instead of relying on foreign new axial-age ideas about emanations from a spiritual black hole (singularity) aka a monad.

It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers.
