“Of all that is written, I love only what a person hath written with his blood.”
— Nietzsche

It's just after midnight now, so not technically the 13th anymore, but before you get wrapped up in another obligatory chocolate holiday, take a moment to remember the Fallen.

Remember Glencoe, February 13th, 1692.

Remember Dresden, February 13th, 1945.

Gunnlöð was responsible for guarding the mead of poetry, however Woden in the form of a snake finds a way into the Hnitbjörg mountain where the mead is kept. There he seduced Gunnlöð for three nights and in return she allows Woden three drinks of the mead, after which he leaves in haste in the form of an eagle.

Gunnlöð by Anders Zorn (1886).

We all strive for "the good life", but what does that even mean? Is it having more money than we would know how to spend? Is it a comfortable cozy home that we raise our families in? Is it the love of a good man or woman? Is it being healthy and physically fit?

We all have goals and ideas about what that "Good life" looks like, but sometimes we don't plan to get there...like that "someday" european vacation that we don't start saving for or picking a date to even go. If we don't map our path, we never get on it. We just see our goals off in the distance, never getting any closer, hovering on the horizon.

Many times we know the cost to attain our dreams and goals can be painful. You may have to leave people behind that will not be able to make that journey with you. You may have to sacrifice things you like doing in order to save or make time for that journey towards your goal. You may have to put in sweat equity and the pain of sore muscles and starting in a place that is physical painful everytime for a while, before you’re able to gain the health that makes it less so.

Do not avoid the pain. Do not fear the emotional or physical suffering. It is a part of life. It is the sour that makes the rest all the more sweet. It is the hunger that makes sustenance taste all the better.

Tyr did not avoid the pain of Fenris biting off his hand. He knew it would be the price to pay for the good of all. So he put his hand in the mouth of the wolf.

Odin plucked out his own eye to gain the wisdom he sought, knowing the cost, and paying it anyway. He again sacrificed himself when he was stabbed by the spear and hung from the tree for 9 days. It was torment that brought him knowledge and he did it anyway.

Freyr gave up his sword for the love of a woman. Knowing he faced his death with nothing but an antler to defend himself.

We must not fear the pain. We must embrace it to grow and to become more than who we are. Without it, we will stay a shadow of the greatness that we could be. We will suffer more in the long term for not making the short term sacrifices.

What is on your horizon? And what will you sacrifice to place your feet on the path to get there?

When you are discouraged, look to our Gods, our ancestors and heroes. Think on their pain and sacrifice that all have endured to find greatness. To save or protect what they love. And let it inspire you to dig in and claim your own.

Our people rise and fall together. We are only as strong as those we stand next to. Don't be the weak link in the chain. Strive for your best! It will inspire those next to you to do the same.

A description of a statue of Thor in the Heimskringla:
“And he has a hammer in his hand and is of great size and hollow inside, and under him there is made something like a scaffold, and he stands up on top of it when he is outside. There is no lack of gold and silver on him. Four loaves of bread are brought him every day and meat with it.”

Remnants of Woden worship in Lower Saxony, recorded by Jacob Grimm:
Farmers in Schaumburg would plan the rye harvest so they all finished at the same time, at which point they would plant their scythes upright, pour out libations of beer, brandy or milk over the last strip they harvested, then wave their hats, beat their scythes three times and call out “Wôld, Wôld, Wôld!”
Nearby in Steinhude, farmers would go to a hill they called Heidenhügel after the fall harvest, light a bonfire, and wave their hats and call out “Wauden, Wauden!”
In Oldenburg, a custom survived of leaving a bunch of rye unharvested for Woden’s horse and dancing around it, similarly to what Grimm observed in Mecklenburg.

Piety in the Modern Folkish Movement

Piety, the reverence for the divine, takes many forms within the Folkish path. It's not just about dusty rituals or rote memorization. It's a living connection, a constant dialogue with the powers that be.

In our modern context, piety can manifest in:

Daily Devotion: Simple acts of remembrance - a moment of silence for the ancestors, a small offering to the land spirits, or speaking the names of the Gods.
Community Building: Participating in kindred gatherings, sharing lore, and supporting fellow Folk. Our connection to each other strengthens our connection to the Gods.
Craft and Creation: Using our hands to honor the Gods - whether through woodworking, music, writing, or any creative pursuit. This is a form of offering in itself.
Land Stewardship: Respecting the earth, recognizing its sacredness, and acting as responsible caretakers. The land is our temple.
Self-Improvement: Striving for personal growth, embodying the virtues of our ancestors, and living with integrity. This is the truest offering we can make.

Piety is not passive. It's an active engagement with the divine, woven into the fabric of our daily lives. It's about living our values, honoring our ancestors, and building a stronger connection to the Gods and the land.

We all come from a long, chain of ancestors who by modern standards survived conditions we can't imagine today.

It’s their genes and their blood that make up our bodies right now.   We our designed for resilience. No matter what situations we face, we can overcome them if we tap into our natural abilities to excel and destroy all obstacles that come up during our lifetimes.

"Our ancestors have left this to us in trust, to preserve and to hand on to our descendants."

- Marcus Aurelius-

There are times when I reflect back on where I've been and what my past thinking was and I feel so foolish.
When I first came to Odinism it was a common thing to hear that this spiritual path of ours should fit you like an old pair of jeans, comfortable and not constraining.
I've tried to always keep that idea in my thinking, but somewhere along the way I forgot that concept.
Along the way though I drank to much kool-aid and started serving a "church" rather than our folk. I started pushing a very stuffy, very inorganic way for our path. The idea of preaching from the pulpit was bandied about. Telling people what to believe and how to believe that really had little basis in lore. A priesthood that taught people to do as the priests say and not as the priests do. Wearing stoles and fancy jewelry to set the cool kids apart from the rabble..... (at times it seemed like all that was missing was confession with a chastising priest ordering you to say a few "Hail Friggas" for penance.)
That's not Odinism, that's a twisted version of our folkways overlayed with a strong veneer of the desert religions.
After I quit partaking of the kool-aid my eyes began to open and I realized my folly. Our spirituality should never be twisted to fit the will of some man or group, regardless of who or what they may claim.......rather we should change who we are to rightly tread this folkway.
Our path is one that still carries the wildness of the forest within it, Sunna should still bring a smile to our face.....our values shouldn't feel like heavy chains of bondage, but rather should lay comfortably on our soul. Odinism should be lived everyday(even when no one is around to see us) and should be a path of honour and nobility.
The Gothar/Priests of our way need not stand on soapboxes railing at us about their supposed greatness. The Gothar of our way should serve our folk selflessly, they should give all they can to see our folk become better.....Being a Gothi of our folk is more one of service and less one of leadership. Those deserving of it will get the respect needed to fulfill their role; those not deserving will spend all their time trying to impress people with fancy dress and big words while reminding everyone that they're the "boss" and what they say goes.
That's not what our people need.....we need more leaders who live a noble way....... more leaders inspiring our folk through action and deed..... more leaders for whom this folkway is carved into their soul.
Yes, Odinism has rules, it did 1,000 years ago and it does now, but they were natural, common sense rules.
Yes, our Ancestors had folk leaders, but these noble men and women rightly earned their place through their deeds (generally speaking).
I'm not telling anybody how to tread this path, but when the path feels stuffy and constraining, or the leadership seems merely self-serving, then ask yourself if our Ancestors would have allowed such behavior to hijack their spirituality. Maybe, just maybe, it's time for you to set down the kool-aid.....
As for me, I'll be over here in my comfortable jeans treading a noble path with the good folk of my local community.

DO RIGHT AND FEAR NO ONE!!!

Charging for Spirituality: A Critique of Folkish Pagan Organizations

It's becoming increasingly common for Folkish pagan organizations to charge members for access to rituals, workshops, and other community events. While some argue that these fees are necessary to cover expenses, this practice raises serious concerns about the nature of spirituality and the accessibility of paganism.

Here's why charging for spiritual experiences within a community setting is problematic:

Commodifying Spirituality: Charging for access to rituals and ceremonies essentially commodifies spirituality. It transforms a sacred experience into a product or service, reducing its inherent value and potentially alienating those who cannot afford it. This practice contrasts with many Christian churches, which often request tithing (a voluntary contribution of a portion of income) but do not demand payment for attendance at services or participation in religious events.

Creating Barriers to Entry: Financial barriers can exclude individuals from participating fully in their community and accessing essential spiritual experiences. This can perpetuate socioeconomic disparities within the Folkish pagan community and prevent those with limited means from fully engaging with their faith.

Undermining the Core Values of Paganism: Many pagan traditions emphasize interconnectedness, sharing, and honoring the Earth. Charging for access to spiritual practices runs counter to these values, suggesting that spirituality is a commodity to be bought and sold rather than a shared experience.

Alternatives Exist: There are viable alternatives to charging for spiritual experiences. Many successful Folkish communities rely on voluntary contributions, potlucks, and labor-sharing to cover expenses while maintaining accessibility for all members.

It's important to acknowledge that in certain situations, such as large-scale events requiring significant logistical planning (e.g., renting a large venue, securing lodging, providing catering), a nominal fee to cover expenses might be understandable. However, even in these cases, efforts should be made to minimize costs and offer alternative options for those with limited financial means.

It's important to remember that spirituality is a deeply personal and individual experience. While organizations can certainly charge for goods and services like workshops, classes, or handcrafted items, they should not place a price tag on the core aspects of communal worship and spiritual practice.

Charging a monthly fee for spirituality and community isn't Aryan, it's rather Jewish.

3. I will not share with a nonhuman the truth of my heart.

We need one another more, the easier it becomes to lose ourselves in isolation. Much has been said over the last decade a half since the sudden and jarring appearance of the smartphone, of the so-called loneliness epidemic, yet little if anything has been done to resist this unprecedented, maladaptive trend. On the contrary, with the now equally jarring emergence of AI, we now seem poised to dive even further into this nihilistic techno-wyrd, deeper into isolation in spite of every human instinct.

As a civilization, it is suicidal to forsake human relationships for the simulated companionship of machines. It is not enough that we merely find AI "friends" and counselors silly. Indeed we must name it amongst our brothers and sisters a cardinal sin to consort with these false entities, to keep them close at hand, and to whisper secretly to them that which we dare not reveal to eachother.

It's not our friend. It doesn't love us. It will be treacherous.

One of Sweden's oldest and most valuable ancient monuments, a 3,500-year-old Bronze Age burial cairn in Junkboda outside Skellefteå, is now set to be brutally destroyed to make way for the new Norrbotnia railway line.

During a preliminary investigation, the burial chamber was discovered—a space large enough for a human, enclosed by massive stone slabs and covered with rounded stones, the classic hallmark of a burial cairn.

Now, this invaluable monument is about to be erased...
And this is just the beginning. The burial cairn is far from the only victim of this ruthless infrastructure project.

Hundreds of ancient remains have already been identified as "obstacles to construction", and more will meet the same fate.
Our history is being erased and our cultural heritage is obliterated, all in the name of efficiency and exploitation.

Deliberately destroying our history and cultural heritage is not just a disgrace—it is a scandal! We have a duty to protect what remains of our ancestors’ legacy, not level it to the ground. Sacrificing our ancient monuments for modern expansion is an insult to both our history and future generations.

Task yourself with the mission of getting ever stronger and more resilient. When misfortune befalls you, do not cower, do not lament or curse the Fates, rather anticipate the inevitability of life’s trials not with disdain but with open arms. The hearts of the strong know no resentment.

𝐾𝑟𝑎 𝑘𝑎 (1862), by the Swedish artist Mårten Eskil Winge (1825 - 1896). Oil on canvas. National Museum of Fine Arts, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Gylfaginning contains an important tenet of the Heathen worldview; the animistic belief that all things are ensouled.

Frigg receives oaths that Baldr won’t be harmed by “fire and water, iron and all kinds of metal, stones, the earth, trees, diseases, the animals, the birds, poison, snakes”, implying that all of these things had the sentience and agency to do so.

She believed mistletoe to be too young to swear an oath, and later on, “people and animals and the earth and the stones and trees and every metal” weep upon hearing of Baldr’s death.

Painting: Frigg takes an oath of all things by Mikhail Fiodorov.

Who’s their mentor?

The answer is Saul Alinsky.

Born in Chicago in 1909, Saul Alinsky was a Communist/Marxist who helped establish the tactics of infiltration that have been implemented in the U.S. government, media, and Hollywood of today.

▪️ Alinsky-Obama connection:

Barack Obama writes about him in his books.

Saul Alinsky served as the inspiration behind Barack Obama's initiative to become a community organizer in Chicago.

Obama received a comprehensive course in Saul Alinsky during his years as a community organizer in Chicago, an experience Obama recalled as “the best education he ever had.”

In those years, Obama was schooled by disciples of Alinsky himself, including Mike Kruglik, who remembered Obama as “the best student he ever had,” a “natural … undisputed master of agitation.”

▪️ Alinsky-Hillary Clinton (then Rodham) connection:

1968: Hillary Rodham wrote her Wellesley College thesis on Saul Alinsky and met with him personally on several occasions.

1969: Hillary Rodham entered Yale Law School, during which time she wrote a chummy letter to Alinsky that came to light in 2014.
It demonstrates that she considered him an important mentor and that she was deeply committed to his radical political philosophy.

1971: Hillary Rodham interned at a law firm known for its radical politics/clients (Black Panthers).

The advances in technology have changed dramatically even in the last 50 years. The Hearth was once the center of the Home both literally and spiritually. The old expression “keep the Home fires burning” was quite literal in the sense of the Hearth was the biggest working area of the Home. Meals were prepared, cooked, and served around the Hearth. It was a constant source of light and of heat. Many sources attest that not only were homes built around the Hearth, it would be one of the few surviving parts of the house in the event of fire. The Hearth was a place of bedtime stories, the gathering area after everyone’s chores were met. The Hearth was not only a refuge of sorts, but a place of love and community. When guests arrived they were directed over by the warm comfort of it.

The Hearth’s function has since been replaced by the kitchen and the living room. Times evolve, yet I wonder how much that has changed “us”. What is reassuring is that many Folkish groups such as the Odinic Rite and Wodensfolk aptly name their tighter local spiritual groups ‘Hearths’. What a lovely way to describe your spiritual intent. What if Folkish peoples were to build physical Hearths and did their rituals and gatherings centered around the old Heart of life? I shall start this practice immediately and share when completed.

Today on January 13th this year, the first full moon after the new moon of the Winter Solstice occur here in Scandinavia. This is one of the most important dates in our pre-Christian culture, and according to our Old Norse calendar the original celebration of Jul/Yule takes place today together with Juólblót/Midvinterblot – as the dates changes annually according to the full moon. Jul is a very old Scandinavian tradition that has its roots in the old Germanic Winter Solstice celebrations and Midwinterblót.

❄️ It is the second blót that Odin enacts in the Ynglinga Saga, a blót during midwinter that lasts three nights. In the sources, midwinter is referred to as "Hókunótt" and it was at Hókunótt that the heathen Jul was...- continues in comment below! ⬇️

On the Buttnmandllauf

In the area around the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden there exists a rather unique Yule tradition, which is done in December: the Buttnmandllauf.

Men will dress up as so called Buttnmandl (straw spirits), Krampus (forest/winter demon) and Gankerl (forest demons) and move in a big procession through town and fields.

The men will meet before noon and dress up as the various figures. Afterwards the various groups will move from house to house.

The Christians added their own figures to this Pagan tradition, as the figure of Saint Nikolaus will lead the procession.

It is said that the tradition will bring a rich harvest and protect from evil spirits.

Speaking of homeschooling, my younger children relished my storytelling today of the European folktale, "Stone Soup", in which a weary traveler convinces a less than generous host to make a "magic" soup from nothing but a stone. We are making our own stone soup today.

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
— Leo Tolstoy

My own opinion is that the Irminsul more likely resembled the above image. The ‘T’ shape Irminsul we see carved into the Externsteine is widely credited to Wilhelm Teudt (1860-1942). As a ‘Mighty Pillar’ the Irminsul was likely the same as our god-poles, called a stapol in OE, only far larger.

Irmin is cognate with the Eormen in OE and Jǫrmun in ON. Odin himself used the name Jörmunr, suggesting Irmin is Woden and not Tiw.

Merovech was the King of the Salian Franks.
They were a Germanic tribe who originally worshipped Woden.

On traditions

The oldest traditional clothing in the Alpine region is the so called 'Bregenzerwälder Juppe'. It is worn by women of the region of Vorarlberg, a county of Austria. It goes back to the 15th century and has not changed ever since.

Unmarried girls wear a 'Schappale', an artful head garment, handmade by only a couple of artisans.

The headwear and dress often are worn lifelong on special occasions and then given to the next generation.

Grimm proposed that the belief that salt could keep evil spirits away originated in pagan times, as the Celtic and Germanic tribes often harvested salt from tidal rivers, which were seen as liminal spaces. This valuable salt may have been seen as a gift from the Gods themselves. The 15th Century Thesaurus Pauperum mentioned salt among the things that were offered to Frau Holle.

“Fire for men is the fairest gift,
And power to see the sun;
Health as well, if a man may have it,
And a life not stained with sin.”
~Hávamál 68, Bellows
This deceptively simple stanza appears to be a testament to the use of sacred fire as a means to contact the Gods.

“Eldr er beztr með ýta sonum ok sólar sýn, heilyndi sitt,
ef maðr hafa náir,
án við löst at lifa.”

It’s still the Bonfire season here in England. Bonfire comes from the ME bonnefyre (lit. fire for bones). Bones were burnt and the ashes spread on the field as a form of fertiliser. Potash was (and still is) used in the same way. The Need-fire (OE nýd-fýr) was ritual fire started with a bow drill or by friction. Both the OE Nyd and the OG Not come from PGmc *naudiz which has two meanings, ‘need or necessity’ and ‘force or compulsion’. Fire is a living entity and the nýd-fýr was a sacred fire which the christian church tried to ban. In 734 CE Wynfrið of Wessex (who became known as St. Boniface) included the need-fire in his list of 'Heathenish Observations' calling 'fractum lignum' (friction fire) a sacrilegious fire.

The minds of contemporary humans are so incredibly consumed by trivial, thoughtless distractions that few take time to think.

The global war on farming continues.

🇬🇧 Keir Starmer’s communist regime is introducing an inheritance tax to kill off UK family farming so ultimately only centralized state controlled farms will survive.

This graph here tells us a couple things. First, white women are overwhelmingly wanting some sense of normalcy, tradition, morals, etc. As much as some may think they are lost forever, the results here tell a different story. This should make us all very proud of them.

Second, it also shows that white women will follow white men. They have spoken and it's time for us more than ever to lead. They are yearning for us to do so. Their instincts are still alive and so must be ours.

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”
― Rudyard Kipling

Why do Pagans constantly reference the Grail?

Heiliger Gral, Saint Graal, Greal Sanctaidd, The Holy Grail. So many languages so many stories. From Arthurian Legends, to Chivalrous Tales, Third Reich Esotericism, to the modern day there are few who haven’t heard at least the term.

To many, the Grail is not something tangible but an allegory or representation of attaining a Divine Truth, a completion of a hard, perilous journey of sorts.

Paganism theoretically had for the most part been extinguished by the time these stories were first written. (Notice written, oral tradition could have been much, much earlier). Yet through many lenses we see Pagan values and Pagan thought in fact lived on within Christianity in a sort of mutant bastard way. Purists will shit on this observation, but almost all agree that especially in the heavy Crusader countries (British isles, France, Germany) a sort of White Christianity was practiced.

This was also agreed upon by many of the Thule Society and furthermore members of the Third Reich. That continued and still continues into more modern day Esoterica.

Now many will claim the Grail Mythology is in fact some sort of Estoteric Hitlerism, which might be true to an extent, but that is obviously incorrect because any Google search or basic book knowledge will tell you this was being written about all the way back in 1200 or so AD, not very long after Christianity became dominant over the pesky Pagans.

So again, even a thoroughly dissected and bugman Sperg argument would just be empty words trying to disprove the obvious;

The Holy Grail mythos is entirely European, and although dressed in the tunic of a Christian Knight, the whole dynamic is as ancient as we are.

Now go do your homework.

I believe the above quote is from Rudyard Kippling.

Now this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky,

And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back,

For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

Welcome to Blood month!!

November is Blot-monaþ ‘Blood (sacrifice) month’ when surplus livestock was killed off before winter. You had fattened your pigs through mad month now is the time to slaughter, salt, smoke and store to see you through the winter.

In the Anglo-Saxon calendar, Blōtmōnaþ (modern MEnglish: blót month) was the month roughly corresponding to November.

The month was recorded by the Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede saying "Blod-monath is month of immolations, for it was in this month that the cattle which were to be slaughtered were dedicated to the gods.” ( Sherrif of Nottingham FB group)

“Brodir had been a Christian and an ordained deacon, but he had cast aside the faith and become a renegade and sacrificed to heathen spirits and was very skilled in sorcery. He had armour which no steel could bite. He was both big and strong and had such long hair that he tucked it under his belt; it was black.”

Njal’s saga describes a strong Icelander named Brodir who, having been fully educated and ordained as a deacon, then reverted to the true faith.

Some thoughts about recent happenings In Appalachia.

It’s insanely obvious that the Federal Government is just useless at this point. Like everything else it’s ran by complete retards or commies. Natural Law is being upset, that’s why things suck.

What is also apparent is that all these hide in the woods in their cabin bad ass Rambo type dudes ain’t shit to basic organized groups of people. There are churches with radio towers coordinating efforts like they’re some FOB in Afghanistan.

Everyone needs to get off social media and fantasy world and realize what happened in Appalachia during Helene can happen anywhere at anytime. What’s worse is if you live in a demographic are where you’re the minority, you’re probably a target and you’re getting attention dead last.

The only answer is Networking NOW. And we need to network wider because do any of us have helicopters etc? No.

Time to throw out the checkers and start playing chess or we are all fucked.

Worldwide, baby's are seen as a symbol of hope, purity, innocence and other positive things.

In European folklore, baby's often play a keyrole as a symbol of godsend.

For example, in Ancient Greece there was baby Hercules who was known for his extraordinary strenght.

In Dutch Folklore, baby's have a gift aswell. It is believed that if a baby is laughing during his/her dreams, that they are communicating with fairies/fae volk. In Dutch we call these mythical beings "Feeën".

“One must be a sea, to receive a polluted stream without becoming impure.”

A storm has set in in this part of England. And whilst I’ve sometimes connected the gale-winds with Woden's song, these wet and windy storms are connected with the thunder god Thunor. There are lots of images and depictions of the gods holding their beards (see STJ post here), but one of the more famous is the bronze Eyrarland Statue showing Thor parting his beard. One name used to describe Thor and no doubt connected is Skegghöss or Beard-voice or Beard-speech. Another name is Skeggraust, Beard-voice or Beard-flow. Both carry the idea his voice is the source of the storm.

Title: Father Rhine

Medium: Oil-on-Digital

Time: 30+ Hours

Theme: German Folklore

By whose jars the river spawns high in the Alps, at times flowing tranquil and wonder-beautiful and other times raging and deadly, many a romantic tune was sung of the Rhine and many a lament for those whose final resting place was deep within it's watery depths. But though the bones at his bottom may be countless, so too is the life Father Rhine provides, his waters form the life giving blood of Europe alongside his sons and daughters; Main, Neckar, Töss, Moselle, Lahn and a manifold of others across the Aeons.

Phew! It's been a while, but I'm glad to say I have finally finished this really awesome painting of Father Rhine. A river god! The personification of the river Rhine. I was meant to finish him about two weeks ago because I was hoping to speed paint this painting; I painted the background in two days, which was a mistake. All I did was accelerate burnout. Nevertheless, I managed to get it done.

What did I learn from this painting? Quite a lot. I think it's one of the few instances where I took my time to shape and refine human anatomy through careful study. In the beginning, there were a few proportional problems, e.g. his fingers were too long; I somewhat gave him ET fingers, but thankfully I noticed that before I went too far. The other thing I learnt is how to paint feet submerged in water. The kingfishers were the fun part and, quite frankly, my favourite aspects of the painting.

Next up is Cailleach, the matriarch of Scotland. Then all commissions will come to a close. I'm not going to accept anymore for November as I would love to resume my own projects. I have paintings which I started a year again that have been neglected. So, I'd like to finish them before the end of the year. Therefore, expect more folklore, gods and landscape paintings within the forthcoming months. Stay tuned! 😁
