“Throughout my 30 years of working with the runes, they have taken on various aspects depending on who I was and what I was doing at the time. The best way I can try to explain them is almost as their own organisms that live symbiotically with the individual who has chosen to “take them up.”
Advisors, sages, teachers - but also sometimes potent forces of upheaval and reorganization, acting almost like a powerful hallucinogen can, to forcibly show a different perspective that may at first feel completely foreign or uncomfortable.
At other times, they seem to be like trees planted on the estate. They grow, spread root and leaf widely, and spring from small seeds, become saplings, and eventually, mighty giants that we have grown alongside and know by name and appearance, as well as the countless layers of experience we have with them.
Like the rings of a tree, the rune is a series of many circles, concentric, expanding, leading us wider and wider and then back in to the heart. They are repositories of deep, hidden information, as well as storage vessels of things that we do not wish to forget…”

In this video I put forward my beliefs about Odin and Galdr. I do not think that Odin got galdra from the waters of memory via Mimmir although it is tempting to see Mimir as his unnamed uncle, rather i think he got galdra from his uncle while hanging on Yggdrasil. It is possible his uncle also gave him the runes. Runes and galdra are related in an obscure way which I explain here.

Happy Solmōnaþ!
(Sol-Month)
The name was recorded by the Christian Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede in his treatise De temporum ratione (The Reckoning of Time), saying that "Sol-Monath can be said to be the month of cakes, which were offered to their Gods"
In Old English, “Sol” is mostly used to refer to soil or mud. Implying that this month is sacred to the Earth-Mother Goddess.
However, this could only be one of the meanings of the word in this context. “Sol” is also believed to mean “cake” and can perhaps be linked to the English custom known as souling. In this tradition one would go house to house and sing songs where the guests would be gifted “soul cakes” in exchange for prayers. This tradition is usually credited to be Christian, but as with most Christian traditions, this one may indeed be Pagan.
So be sure to give an offering of cakes to the Earth-Mother.

Bede tells us that the second moon of the Anglo-Saxon heathen year was called Solmōnaþ meaning “Sun month”. This marks the returning power of the sun goddess known in English as Sunne and in Norse as Sól and explains the Old English word for Lent, Lencten which means “lengthening” in reference to the lengthening of the days at this time of year.
Bede wrote that Sol month was the month of flat cakes which the heathen English gave in offering to their gods - presumably to Sunne specifically. These round sun cakes became the English Christian tradition of pancake day celebrated at the start of Lent.

Interesting piece showing Woden wearing a headdress similar to figures from the Sutton Hoo finds. I cannot find much information about this archaeological find (?) apart from it is said to be dated to the 6th-7th century.
Near Lejre, Denmark A fragment from one of Scandinavia's most magnificent helmets emerged from the ground in 2024. The fragment is gold-plated and decorated with red gemstones, and comes from the period from the end of the 7th century to the middle of the 8th century, just before the start of the Viking Age.

It resembles the brows on helmets from Anglo-Saxon England and Vendel era Sweden

Can Paganism Revive the West? | Survive the Jive & Gnostic Informant
🔥 Is the future of the West… Pagan? 🔥

A new paper on Goth and Suebians in Iberia. Suebian elites in Spain show almost entirely Northern European ancestry (92-95%). 14 Visigoth burial samples had greater than 80% Northwest European Ancestry (3 of which were full NW Euro). There were also 27 samples with mixed NW Euro and Iberian ancestry. Dates from 4-6th century.
The Germanics did not leave a genetic legacy in Iberia though

Disparate demographic impacts of the Roman Colonization and the Migration Period in the Iberian Peninsula
It has been unclear how the periods of Roman and later Germanic political control shaped the demography of the Iberian Peninsula and how Iberia differs in these respects from other parts of the Roman Empire. We report genome-wide data from 248 ancient individuals…
