Hail and well met, good folk!

I have been enamoured with our great culture since I first began studying my own family history. However, I'll spare you, after all a clan that only boasts of its ancestors is admitting that they are better dead than alive That said my primary interest is carrying on into the future the lofty ideals of honor and heroism so often memorialized by our skalds and that I personally learned from grandfather and father.

I will not decieve you, despite an online presence, I am the enemy of the modern world. I hate it! In these times the world I see is much like the world of Tolkiens orcs, "they make many clever things, but no beautiful things". I prefer the woods and wild places of the world for this reason. Alas, the revival of my ideal agrarian tribalism is nowhere in sight, therefore, I'm not political.

Well, thats a bit about me, I look forward to hearing about each of you. I know from lurking here over the last year that there are some very interesting folk on this board and I look forward to reading more and possibly contributing a bit from time to time.

Welcome, Horseman! Greetings to you, my fellow colonial! There is certainly a lack of manliness and heroism today...

How did you first find out about Skadi? I hope you enjoy it here and post often!

[GroeneWolf]

Welcome.

[SpearBrave]

Welcome Horseman, that was a good intro

[Horseman]

Many thanks to all for the welcome.


Mr. Baughman, I notice that you are a smith, I do a bit of blacksmithing as well. Although for me its only a hobby, I'm not
sure I would have the patience to do smithwork as an occupation.
My compliments, sir. Its one thing to work for oneself but completely different trying to match your work to someone elses vision. You are to be commended for that ability

Zimobog, I stumbled across Skadi by chance during a websearch. I began reading here quite often and really enjoyed the posts, even the ones I disagreed with. What I find refreshing as a Heathen is the free speech and folkish lean of many here. I have no racial axe to grind, I actually know some black and hispanic folk that I deem honorable men, but I still get so sick of reading drivel from heathen sites about 'racism". Its ridiculous for any heathen group to throw out such statements as if blacks and hispanics are beating down the doors to join a blot.

I look at things like this: my kin and tribe come first to me, your kin and tribe come first to you. We can meet on equal terms with honor,
and deal justly with one another, however, there are certain boundaries that shouldnt be overstepped. You dont see wolves join a stranger pack, you dont see horses interbreed with deer. We are what we are for a reason, to attempt to change that is an insult to both parties. In my opinion.


Again thank you all for the gracious welcome. Sorry if I rambled a bit

Welcome, Horseman. Your profile reads Anglo-Danish. Do you have ancestors from Denmark? What could you tell us about them, if you know for example which regions they came from?

Greetings from Denmark, enjoy the forum.

What a wonderful introduction. Welcome to Skadi, Horseman.

Thank you, M'lady, for the kind welcome. I do have ancestors from Denmark but unfortunately I only know of one of them, Arnkell, He would've been born presumably in Jutland circa 990, we do know he was at the battle of Ashingdon and was awarded land in Yorkshire by Cnut. Thats about all I know about my Danish ancestor. He, to quote Rigismal, "rode horses, swung the sword and fought for land"


Schoenenbourg, thank you, sir, for the kind remark and the welcome


My kindest regards and gratitude to all for the hospitality you've each shown me. Although the internet is known as faceless and anonymous place, I still make it a point to type my words as though I were speaking them as a guest in your home. I am glad to see so many folk here do the same. I'm honored to be among you

I feel the same way you do. We are living in what the Vedic Aryans would call a "kali yuga" what the Greeks may have called a "stone age" what the Germanics referred to as an "ax age". According to Aryan folk wisdom there are different general ages of man that are cyclic. We think of stone age- bronze, electronic in linear fashion but according to the old thought it was all cyclic. Basically the worst age is an age of destruction or a more primitive age which we are in. It is a stone age not because of our tools but because of the mindsets of society and the people in it. Ironically our stone age was ushered in largely from technological advances which allowed the lower elements to prosper.

Anyway there is some effort going on to rebuild folkish roots which is a form of tribalism. I am working on a goal of growing a lot of my own food but our main goal is a ruling Aryan elite who are masters of the world and not some isolated agrarian society- though we could network with agrarian groups as well.
I'm giving a revision of my book to ahnenerbe (or however you spell his profile name) and then uploading a new version which will be for sale but I'll sell it to skadi members at my cost (which still can be a bit high for self publishing). The focus is a form of national socialist Asatru made for the Aryan elite that gives lots of advice on how to make money in business, be politically dominant etc. although some advise will remain oral. Then maybe we can get some people together and amass wealth and power and direct that at projects like you mention- tribal based agrarian socieities. But also its a cultural change. The book outlines a folkish philosophy of life and my own version of Asatru.

Though the one difference is at least with me I focus on elitism more than racism though I see the two as interconnected.
