Хильде
Хильде — женщина, найденная в 1995 году в Кастрикуме, Нидерланды. Что интересно, так это то, что она жила около 380 года. Это точно то же самое время, когда древние фризы мигрировали из Фризии. Ее могила является доказательством того, что фризы не оставили свои земли полностью. Фризы продолжали жить в современных Кастрикуме и Гронингене.
Скелет Хильде и ее череп до сих пор нетронуты, вместе с Кеесом. Они являются одной из наиболее важных археологических находок голландской провинции Северная Голландия. Более того, вместе с телом было найдено ожерелье.
Хильде было около 24-30 лет и ростом она была 1,59-1,66 метра. Причина смерти до сих пор неизвестна. У нее есть признаки сломанной левой руки, вероятно вызванной отражением удара. Эта сломанная рука, однако, была исцелена, плохо исцелена, что означало, что это не было причиной ее смерти.
Она была помещена в небольшую яму, скорее всего, там брошена. Ее нашли лежащей на животе обеими руками рядом с телом. Это был не обычный погребальный стиль. Возможно, ее либо бросили, либо похоронили в срочном порядке. Хильде приехала из Восточной Германии и, скорее всего, приехала сюда, чтобы выйти замуж. Молодых женщин часто отправляли замуж далеко.
Хильда была реконструирована Майей Д'Холлоси, археологом и антропологом из Амстердама.

One of the more controversial takes we at IP promote is that all Anglo colonies and ex-colonies are still fundamentally British.
Today is the March for Australia where you will see tens of thousands of Australians marching with a flag that carries the Union Jack. So does the Red Ensign—the true Canadian flag. At the same time, protests erupt spontaneously all across the British Isles in defiance of an elite that has lost the Mandate of Heaven and whose rule is not long for this world. These are nationalist protests, but they are also broader than that. The day has arrived—the Saxon has begun to hate.
All the old rivalries between English, Scottish, American, French, Irish, Welsh—all of these are being put aside for a folkish solidarity that sees a greater threat beyond the folk.

The West Country needs it's own logo and this is my proposal.
It is based on the West of England Fire and Life Insurance Company of Exeter's mark used from 1807 onwards and depicts King Arthur.

I found an interesting excerpt on "casting the lots" from a work known as Medicalia Lǽknisfrǿði (a work on healing with various folk remedies) found in a medieval manuscript circa ~1500 known as AM 434 a 12° leaves 6r-6v.
“Ef þu villt hljóta úr kasti, tak teningana þina ok graf þá niður fyrir norðann garð kirkju III naetur, aðreð þrjár fyrir sunnann ok III fyrir austan, síðan lát á alltari undir duk III mesur, síðan kasta upp i hendi þier med þessum orðum: Ek særi þik Þórr ok Óðinn fyrir Crist en crosfesta, að þið þverr synit á teninga þessa ok í annað sinn kasta upp ok seg svá: Ek særi þik fyrir Enok ok Heliam, ok í hid III sinn særi ek þig fyrir Frigg ok Freyiu, Þór ok Óðin ok fyrir helgu mey fru sancte marie, að þu Fiolnir falla latir þat, er ek kasta kan.”
If you want to cast lots, take your dice and bury them at the northern boundary of a church for 3 nights, then thrice before the south, and thrice before the east, afterwards leave them upon the altar under a cloth for 3 masses, next raise up your hand and say these words: I swear to you Thor and Odin before christ upon the cross, that you all show the son on these dice. Then cast the lots up again and say the following: I swear an oath to you before Enoch and Heliam, and here for a third time I swear to you before Frigg and Freyja, Thor and Odin, and before the holy mother saint mary, that you Fjolnir let fall that which I can cast.”

These are Flint daggers from The Dagger period (c. 2400-1800 BC) which I photographed in Hamburg's archaeological museum. Metal was replacing stone in many regions, but stone weapons probably had never been so well crafted as this previously. Such daggers were mass produced in Northern Europe and imitated the shape of more precious imported metal prototypes.
The map by VVeltkrieger shows the distribution of Flint Dagger sites (SNI, 2350-2000bc). Inspired by Grande-Pressingy Daggers from France, this culture evolved out of the Single Grave Culture (SGC) with the impulse coming from the development of it's sister, the Bell Beaker Culture which also came from SGC. This culture contributed to the formation of the Nordic Bronze Age and of Germanic people.

As usual I have used Anglish names. I'm really pushing that format to its limits here, and I'm not sure how well it works.

A look at the types of sacrificial animal deposits in various cult sites types.
Wetland and well zones show a significant connection to horse sacrifices. Open air cult places have a larger deposit of livestock such as cattle, pig, and sheep/goat deposits. Cult houses and house deposits have more cattle deposits.
When the sex of the animal deposits can be accurately determined, it may reveal a sacrificial logic to these deposits.
For horses, stallions are found more often in ritual deposits. For cattle, bulls/oxen are more frequent than cows. Boars are deposited more frequently than sows. Sheep and goats seem harder to determine based on the findings, but females seem to be more frequent than males.
My take on this is that higher numbers of a particular kind of animal indicates either a cult association with the animal in that area, or the sacrificial practices were dependent on the animal economy of the area. Taking the total farming economy of an area into account, and how livestock was traditionally raised and cultivated can help fully understand the nature of these sacrificial deposits and ultimately the reasons for selection. Looking at attested pre-modern farming practices may also give insight into this.
Hurstwic has a brief but informative piece on their website describing Viking Age farming practices.

While Fjölnir is one of the names of Odin, there are also several sources that attest to a King Fjölnir in Roman Iron Age Sweden who drowned in a vat of mead in Zealand. This king is said to have been a son of Frey and Gerd so he seems to either have been a euhemerised god or a legendary king with a divine lineage. A Faroese ballad tells the story but calls the king Veraldur “world”.
