The Angles served in the Cornuti unit of the Roman army and this was their banner emblazoned on shields. It appears on sword scabbards and such in Anglian bog deposits of the 4th century.
The double raven motif became a pan-Germanic sign used by Goths in Spain and Ukraine, Lombards in Italy and was still used by Vikings in the 11th century

This early Indo-European culture, the Single Grave Culture in the ancestral lands of the Anglo-Saxons, is ancestral to all Celtic and Germanic peoples.
See thread to learn how it relates to the Bell Beaker culture and earlier Corded Ware

These deists, atheists, agnostics, platonists and occultists of the last 500 years are all English.
How then can Englishness be said to be contingent on Christianity?
Christianity is an important part of English history that cannot be denied, but people who try and depict it as the essential, defining characteristic of Englishness are being dishonest.

There is an urban myth that the English are "more Brythonic Celt than Anglo-Saxon" which comes from misrepresentation of admixture averages across regions.
So I made this (rather ugly) map to show which regions of England are majority Germanic and which are majority IA British.
Note: I did not acknowledge the widespread French ancestry that is also in England
Anglos reacc:
🐳 if you are majority Brythonic
⚡️If you are majority Germanic
🤷🏼if equal amounts

Just finished off this gilt bronze prototype of an interesting Anglo Saxon harness pendant from Dorset. Very similar to the WAINE type mounts but I really like the vicious jaws at the bottom. Very Woden wolf cult kind of thing along with the two typically Saxon ravens.

I commissioned the expert Bronze Age sword smith Neil Burridge to forge this replica of the Huntshaw dagger from Darracott moor in Huntshaw, Devon. The largest barrow in the grave field has a road going straight over it. Read more… survivethejive.blogspo…
