Music

Having said that, there's just one more thing....

In the old days the Northern people had a way to curse their enemies, called the Nidstang. It was a pole adorned with a chopped-off horsehead. The head was turned toward the foe(s) and a curse was uttered.

Nowadays the pagans who wish to distiguish themselves from fake pagans like neo-nazis, fascist Wodan fetishist and other abusers of he pagan ways who trod down on our heritage with their iron-shod boots and hollow hatewords raise virtual Nidstangs. And so will I.

I curse the people who use our holy symbols to spread lies, hate and despair.
I curse those who make it impossible for pagans following the Northern Tradition to have their believe without constantly having to defend themselves against accusations of being nazi-followers.
I curse them for befouling a believe that has nothing to do with racial superiority, dominion of others and hate of different ways and believes.
I wish them to perish in their attempts to abuse the Northern Tradition and the Ways of our Gods

I'd like to meet:

Bands, musicians, labels and writers, or related to those artforms.

So: if you are looking for a relationship, cheap or easy sex or other crap: I'm NOT interested. It is nice to be connected, but I do not believe in healthy, steady, REAL person-to-person contacts in cyberspace.
So if your not one of those people mentioned above or belong to my family&friends,,,I'm sorry but it's a NO
I'm kind of picky about this, so don't be disappointed if I decline a request...
The same goes for comments: yes, I do have a nice weekend thank you and the profile lay-out is OK but you don't have to remind me about that. If you've got to say something that's more interesting than that, it's OK by me...otherwise I will deny the comment.

Computers to the people!

Just a lovely piece of news to lighten up the grim reality. Ever heard of the XO-1? I didn’t, but it is a very cheap, low end laptop for children in the developing countries. Low cost, low energ...
