Closeup of the recently found die stamp from Kent, with an Odinic horned figure.
Many aspects are nearly identical to those of the Torslunda Plates; the way the beaks of the ravens interlock, the feet, and the detail on the belt. Shows how much of a pan-Germanic motif it was. 𐘾

[Ave Europa @AveEuropae]

Europeans have always had a special connection with nature.

Being European is to recognise that our civilisation is built upon an understanding of and respect for the very laws that govern the Universe.

A long time ago, our ancestors observed that the longest day of the year was the summer solstice, and the whole of Europe decided to celebrate it.

Initially a pagan tradition, and later adopted by agrarian Christianity, Midsummer is one of our most beloved festivals.

This is the time when we congregate around bonfires, maypoles, and tables laden with food. We sing, we dance, and we laugh, just as our forefathers did before us.

Ave Europa encourages its followers to honour our traditions for another year, celebrating with family and friends as local customs dictate.

We wish you a happy aestival solstice.

Among the many goddesses of the Norse world, few are as mysterious and overlooked as Vár. Unlike the great warrior gods who thunder across the sagas, Vár appears only briefly in the surviving sources, yet her role touches something deeply important to the people of ancient Scandinavia: the sacred power of a spoken promise.

This scabbard chape with Woden face and flanking ravens, from Micheldever, Hampshire, has me thinking…

Does Woden himself have the tactical bowl cut?

A Greek myth tells that Paeon, physician to the gods, healed Pluto when he was injured during the Trojan War. Aesculapius, god of healing, became jealous, and vowed to kill Paeon, but Pluto saved him by transforming him into the flower that had healed him, naming it ‘Paeonia’.

The Oak has, seemingly forever, stood amongst the most widely revered of trees 🌳⚡

In Britain and Ireland the native English and Irish Oak support an astonishing wealth of life with thousands of species of insects, birds, fungi, mosses and mammals all finding food and shelter amongst their bark and boughs 🌰🦉

It is little wonder then that across ancient Europe the Oak became associated with the great sky and thunder gods and for the Romans it was sacred to Jupiter, whose lightning was believed to favour the towering trees above all others ⚡

Even in today's detached world we still stop to admire and absorb the energy of these trees when we are lucky enough to pass an ancient Oak.
