Greetings.
Today a Hailf Prince LARPing as a Dark Elf rogue will bestow some wisdom upon you all.
And we'll start with a question regarding the gods.
Golden One, I have a question that perhaps you can answer.
As a man who tries to follow the native faith of our ancestors, I am vexed regarding the question of loyalty.
My heritage is mostly Germanic, but with some Northern Italian and Swiss Italian and some Celtic.
I have to ask, is a person of mixed European ancestry to choose which gods and ancestors to honor or should the pantheons of all my ancestors be included?
I consider myself I've considered myself a Germanic pagan for about four years now and Loki has always been my guy but I cannot ignore my ancestors from other parts of our continent.
I suspect there are others in this day of mass transportation, the European diaspora and the Schengen area, who are in similar situations.
With strength and wisdom, Rook takes night.
Now first and foremost before I answer this, I view the gods and mythology more in a cultural sense than a strictly spiritual sense.
So if someone with a more purely spiritual sense is watching this, take it for what it is, it's just my perspective.
I use European mythology as a driving force as inspiration and motivation to push the pace, to set the pace high.
So that is my unique perspective on this question.
And what I would say is that first and foremost, when looking at many European mythologies, the gods are quite the same.
So if we have Thor in Norse mythology and Perun in Slavic mythology, it's kind of the same god and you know very similar.
And I'm sure you can find more similarities between more European mythologies.
But to give an answer, I would definitely, and this is something I do now as well.
I like the Greek gods, for example, and I think Celtic mythology is really cool, even though I'm, you know, Nordic and Norse mythology is my main thing, and Odin and Thor, I'm 50-50 behind them.
They are my main guys.
But then obviously, as I've said before, if we're talking about Loki can invoke Loki by doing some trolling by trolling some beta leftist, for example and if you do something with martial endeavors, you can do that in honor of Tudor or Mars or Aris, etc.
So you can have minor gods by the side of your main gods.
And this is the beauty, I'd say, of Paganism as opposed to Christianity, because in Christianity one of the key commandments is that you shall not have other gods at the side of your main god, and that's a bit boring to me.
So I go with.
You know several gods that can be invoked for different reasons, and if I were you yeah, I would have a main guy, have Loki as your main guy, but then you can also honor and read up on the mythology of your other ancestors, so that That is basically what I would do.
And yet again, I view this in a cultural sense.
And in my own work, I've made the last Wild Hunt challenge I made was the Mars challenge in honor of Mars.
But it can also be Tur or other martial gods in European mythology.
So to conclude, I would definitely read up on the myths of all the gods and draw inspiration from them.
And then you can have your main deity which you align with, but yeah, draw strength from many different things.
And the same thing, if we're talking about history in general, you can have a main era which you find inspiring.
So perhaps you, as for all Swedish guys who are watching this, some guys might think the Vikings were cool and want to model themselves to be a Viking adventurer in the modern world.
Or perhaps someone wants to draw inspiration from Carl von Linnee and be more scientific.
Some wants to be a Carolian soldier, etc.
So, but that doesn't mean that you need to neglect other eras of history.
Anyway, rambling, long story short, use many sources of motivation and inspiration.
And European mythology is so rich, so there is plenty of motivations to be had.
Next question.
Actually, a related one.
After listening to your latest video on Christianity and paganism, I wanted to ask what you would consider the proper spiritual path for someone who wishes to connect more with their ancestral pagan roots.
There is a lot of wishy-washy new age bullshit when you look up pagan groups, especially in the US.
Yeah, definitely it is.
There is a lot of heresy going on, but that's just the case in the Kali Yuga in the modern world.
I can recommend Survive the Jive, I think he is good.
And then obviously read the old sagas.
That's the best bet in my humble view at least.
Go directly to the old stories.
And you don't need to necessarily be in a group either to express your spirituality.
But first step I would say is read up on it.
Then again, as I said in the previous question, I am not viewing this primarily as spiritual but more cultural.
So reading up on it is at least the first step.
So perhaps not the most deep answer you've ever heard on this channel, but that would be my take on the situation at least.
My friend, how close are you to finishing your book?
Would you consider publishing an audiobook of it alongside it so I can listen to your glorious voice?
The book question.
I have been so extremely busy as of late.
There's so much things that have been going on.
Very glorious things which I will update you all on in due time.
But a lot of glorious things going on indeed.
But when they are settled and probably when the autumn comes I will have the time and you know focus to just get the book done and then hopefully either late this year or very early next year.
But I aim to have everything completely set at the end of the year so then I can just release it in the beginning of next year.
So that's the book update.
And yes, I do indeed intend to release an audiobook version of the book itself so that you can listen to my soothing voice when you embark upon your wisdom walks.
Next question.
Do you have any plans to do more challenge videos?
They really helped to motivate me because getting direct orders from our glorious lion gave me a direct sense of accountability and got me into a lot of good habits.
Working out, reading, etc.
Also, as I'm a book addict, do you have any new book recommendations?
Thank you very much.
Warms my heart to hear that you can draw inspiration from the challenge videos, and that's exactly what I aim to do with this challenge, is that you have something direct, you know, direct instructions to do.
And yes, there will be a wild hunt summer challenge.
I am still in the process of finalizing the details, so it's a good challenge that is doable and that makes sense and that is appropriate in this particular moment in time.
And then, as for book recommendations, I have plenty of them, and I will make a separate video on this later on.
But Survive the Economic Collapse by Piero San Giorgio is very good.
Very much recommend that indeed.
So, to just mention one book, definitely.
And then, also, I haven't read all of it, I've read half of it.
That's a fascist odyssey by Kerry Bolton.
He writes about Yockey and his metapolitical work.
Extremely interesting book, but I will make a separate video or Instagram post when I've actually finished that.
So, yeah, as I said, I've only read half of it now.
Why doesn't the Imperium nuke Sinus scum from orbit instead of LARPing with Swords?
Well, if you have a planet with a lot of natural resources, etc., you can't nuke it because then you might lose the said resources, or it might be the case that there are human populations there.
There might be plenty of reasons to not want to nuke a place.
So, that would be my answer to that without knowing the will of the Emperor, beloved by all.
If you traveled from the Temple of Iron for a month, what exercises would you do to stay juicy?
A lot of push-ups, so you can just do 10 by 10 everyday push-ups that will not get you juicy, but it will maintain some at least.
So, I would definitely respond push-ups.
Last question: What is your opinion on the Greece and Macedonia name issue?
Does one country have the right to change another's name?
How will this affect the great battle between Europeans and the incoming flood of invaders?
Well, I am, as a firm friend of Greece, I am obviously on the Greek side in that name conflict, and I based that upon just looking at where the ancient Macedonian kingdom was, and that's in modern-day Greece.
So, I view it a bit heretical perhaps for the Macedonians to have taken that name, but I don't see it as a major issue.
But for the record, I'm just on the Greek side there.
But then again, like European infighting at this particular moment in time is something I want to disavow completely.
So, if you are from the state of Macedon or if you are from Greece, please be nice to each other and focus on the issue at hand.
And the issue at hand is that Europe's native population is being slowly but surely replaced.
And that is the main issue and not a name.
So, thank you, all of my glorious supporters, for the questions.
I hope you derived some wisdom from this video at least.
And who am I?
The great angel.
