Order of the Sacred Mannerbunde

PSA: Keep safe one another in the turning of the tide; for each day you breathe is another for achieving your ambitions. Just as our Lord of Light found, we too cannot know when our mortal thread will be cut - until that day arrives, live well and fight hard, for the beginning of a new cycle is on the horizon...

Eormensylblot 2024 The merry month of May is drawing to its lunar end and our Order, as it so often does, will observe another holy tide under the sobering light of the Flower Moon. To this time, we name as the Eormensylblot - a sacrifice under the shade of the World-Tree. Bældæġ, our Bleeding God now passed, sits at the heart of this time - as he does in the hearts of all faithful. The fallen son of Wо̄den, his rest sees him dormant now in the Underworld, but it is to the coming of Ragnarök that his jubilant return will be witnessed. Blessed are you, O Shining One! We likewise honour Seaxnēat, the Lord of Swords, for his important role in the ancestry and culture of the Saxon English. We are early in the days of our religious revival, but I foresee a healthy practice of swordsmanship re-emerging in our Folk. The bearing of arms is a blessed right of all Germanic sons and daughters! Hail the Gods!

Declaration of Tradition Our Order has had the honour of being both consulted on, and being an early adopter, of this excellent development. In signing the Declaration of Tradition, we have put our support in it as a joint statement of unity across the wider Germanic Heathen faith community. We extend our congratulations to the team responsible for its inception and commit our support in its continuing growth and promotion. Authentic Heathen expression grows strong by the deeds of the many, not in the thoughts of thefew. ⚡ SIGN THE DECLARATION, MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD: 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 https://declarationoftradition.com Hail the Gods!

Attention ⚠ Do you want to prevent future archeologists from tampering with your remains in your barrow? Do you want to avoid them proclaiming your bones belonged to a "non-binary person" or a "brave intersex individual" and such? Here are some staves you can write on your runestone which will make the pervert go away: ᚦᚢᚾᛖᛁᚾᚨᛚᚦᛁᚾᛁᚹᛁᛒᚨᚹᛁᚱᚦᛁᛉᛁ This reads: Þū ne in alþīni wībą wirþizi. Which can be loosely translated as: You will never be a woman.

Profession does not define the Pagan; it is deeds that do. We are proven, in cases such as this, why deeds are the supreme factor of quality control in our faith community. Do not endorse or follow evil nīðings!

Like us today, our ancestors wouldn’t have been able to sacrifice valuable livestock (or prisoners) on a regular basis. While many Christian and Roman accounts focus on animal and human sacrifices in greater detail, on a daily basis, offerings of food and drink were far more common, such as alcohol and grain. The Life of St. Columban mentions Swabians making an offering of beer to Wodan, the Guta Saga mentions smaller assemblies making offerings of food and ale, and The History of the Normans by Dudo of Saint-Quentin mentions offerings of grain and wine. The Anglo Saxon Penitential of Theodore and the Confessional of Egbert both explicitly banned the burning of grain. The Indiculus superstitionum et paganarium mentions the Old Saxons making idols of moistened flour; not unlike torma in Buddhism.

In 1661 a 130 foot tall Maypole was erected in the Strand, London to celebrate the restoration of the English monarchy. A previous Maypole that had stood nearby at the remains of the medieval stone Strand Cross had been destroyed by the Puritans in 1644 for being seen as heathen in its nature. Another famous London Maypole once stood at the crossroads by St Andrew Undershaft church, which got its name from the fact that the Maypole stood taller than the church, hence the church was under-the-shaft. The Maypole was kept in Shaft alley but by 1517 celebrations had been stopped as they had become to rowdy!
