/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

I can't help you with this since i suck with numbers but i'm just going to bump this and say thanks for the book heh

>>12834

Thanks for that, but I'd already seen that. I believe it suits better for the Icelandic Peoples, rather than the Germanic Peoples as a whole, which Varg claims this is as it's from Bronze Age Sweden.

It's all fine, it's a good book and a bump for others to help ain't bad.

Anyhow I think I got it, others can help check to see if I'm right.

>New Years Day - Halloween/ October 31

1 >Valaskjalfr (Vali) - Novemeber 1-28

2 >Himinbjoerg (Heimdall) - November 29-30, December 1-26

3 >Landvidhi (Vidharr) - December 27-31, January 1-23

4 >Sokkvabekkr (Saga) - January 24-31, February 1-20

6 >Breidhablik (Baldr) - March 21-31, April 1-17

7 >Noatun (Njoerdhr) - April 18-30, May 1-15

8 >Glitnir (Tyr/ Forseti) - May 16-31, June 1-12

9 >Folkvangr (Freya) - June 13-30, 1-11

10 >Alfheimr(Freyr) - July 12-31, August 1-8

11 >Gladhsheimr (Odhinn) - August 8-31, September 1-4

12 >Thrymheim (Skadhi) - September 5-30, October 1-2

13 >Ydallr (Ullr, Hoedhr) - October 3-30

I have a feeling Folkvangr is off and if so, then that means something else must be off too. If anyone here lurking can just check the numbers, that would help.

Before the Disting moon the Yule moon invariably ran its course round the sky; the present Norwegian country rule still confirms this, when it says that the Yule moon is the one in the sky on 6th January, and then follows the Disting moon. But, just as the latter got its name from the Pagan sacrifice to Dis, so the Yule moon can only have got its name from the Pagan Yule festival. This fell on the full moon of every Yule moon and was therefore (like all Germanic sacrificial festivals) not fixed within the solar year, but a movable feast. The transfer of the Yule festival from its Pagan date to the Christian 25th December (proposed by Haakon the Good, but owing to Pagan opposition not carried out till later) was a transfer from the Pagan lunar year to the Julian-Christian solar year. The statement by Snorri Sturluson that Yule fell on the Pagan “midwinter’s day” is confirmed. Once again, the reference is to the full moon in the middle of the six-month winter half of the lunar year, as among the Anglo-Saxon and Faroese, and probably all Germanic races.

Now the 6th January mentioned in the rule is an ecclesiastical date, quite unknown in the Pagan calendar. The point in the Pagan solar and lunar calendar that later became the Church’s 6th January can be calculated by means of the Germanic “twelve rule”. The Church bases its calendar on an “eleven rule”, in that it calculates not 12 but 11 days difference between the 12-month lunar year and the solar year. The 6th of January is known in Germanic lands as the “Thirteenth Day”; on this day, 12 full days have elapsed since 25th December. Now there exists an east Finnish rule for intercalation borrowed from Scandinavia: there is to be a “leap” year, that is, 13 months must be counted in the coming year, if the first new moon falls before 6th January; and the significance of this date is that 12 full days have gone by since the mark day, here 25th December. The Finno-Scandinavian rule for leap years agrees with the Norwego-Swedish rule for Disting. We see, however, that 6th January can only be the dividing date because 12 (not 11) full days before that was 25th December, that is, the first day of Yule as a mark day, that is, start of the Julian solar year. Both these dates are purely Christian, but the calculation is inconsistent with the Church’s use of eleven, based upon Meton’s rules. However, if on the one hand this practice is not Christian, and on the other hand the Disting Fair kept to its Pagan date in Christian times, the only assumption left to us is that the Norwegian, Swedish and east Finnish twelve-rule, using 6th January, has preserved in its Christian-Julian framework the pre-Christian dividing date for the leap year rule. This conclusion can be verified quite conclusively by calculating from the date of the old Danish chief sacrifice at Lejre in Sjælland (Zealand), abolished in the year 934 AD.

Op here, found it out. Just had to wait until I got a printer to actually figure it out. This is the calendar based on Vargs book, which doesn't have many sources so I don't know how much I can trust it but this is autism pushing this for me. Still have yet to find out the holidays on this calendar which is my next project. I would've just posted this in the discord but you guys kicked me months ago.

The day starts at night in his calendar.

New Years Day = October 31st Night thru November 1st day

Valaskálfr = November 1st night - November 29th day

Himinbjörg = November 29th night - December 27th day

Landviði = December 29th night - January 24th day

Søkkvabekkr = January 24th night - February 21st day

Þruðheimr = February 21st night - March 21st day

Breiðablikr = March 21st night - April 18th day

Nóatun = April 18th night - May 16th day

Glítnir = May 16th night - June 13th day

Folkvangr = June 13th night - July 11th day

Alfheimr = July 11th night - August 8th day

Glaðsheimr = August 8th night - September 5th day

Þrymheimr = September 5th night - October 3rd day

Ýdalir = October 3rd night - October 31st (Halloween) day.

I've already listed above what god goes to each month, but now the dates for each month are correct.

Looks like Baldr is my patron month god, though I was born on a Wednesday so, hey man! Looks like I got the two best gods!

>Breiðablikr

Mind telling me about this one anon?

>>15578

well most of everything,pretty much nothing, can be found on the wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breidablik

"He dwells in the place called Breidablik, which is in heaven; in that place may nothing unclean be, even as is said here:

Breidablik 't is called, | where Baldr has

A hall made for himself:

In that land | where I know lie

Fewest baneful runes"

Nothing unclean and fewest baneful runes seems to have a sort of connection with each other; I also propose that fewest baneful runes can be taken as no runes allowed or no runes damage only not allowed. Each house is basically the god typified and each god the House personified.

Varg interprets Baldr with the coming of Summer, hence his beautiful blonde hair and nothing being able to harm him except for the symbol of winter, the mistletoe. Nothing too much new, it's been know Baldr is a sun god but the Rising Sun God which places him in spring I assume he got from The Golden Bough with the Rising god archetype which most scholars generally disregard. I'd also take Varg himself with a block of salt as he keeps putting forth this Grave = Vagina = Gods motif which is more suited for the very Matriarchal societies of the Old Europeans/Non-Aryans/Neolithics backwards, which makes sense since this calendar he refers to is allegedly from the Stone Age. He was a lot better for the pagan cause when we he was burning Churches in my opinion, removing satanists who tried to ruin Pagan culture even more, and shooting up McDonalds
