Folk Building, creating a web of autonomous Folk and Folk Communities that care about the elevation of their Folk as a whole. That includes Home Education, Hearth creation, Whole Health and Herbal Medicine, Community Education of Faith and Heritage, Creating Cultural awareness, Environment and Conservation, Bringing up our Youth to be the bearers of our Folkway for the Future, Martial Arts and Self Defense, Survivalism, Prisoner Outreach, and on and on!
I'd like to meet:
People who are more concerned with the elevation of their Folk rather than the elevation of their ego.
Those that realize that the intent behind the words is just as important as the words themselves. Someone who lies, talks about everyone in a derogatory manner, and is deceptive *purposely* shouldn't be trusted.
Those that are not working under Lokian illusion of ego and self gratification. May Loki Be Bound!!
People in their humanity live by the NNV, make mistakes, make successes, and always have the best interests of their Folk at heart, instead of the best interests of themselves.
See a pattern!?
