To continue...
Having a family tree that extends beyond the 18th and 19th centuries helps to establish a sense of continuity back into prehistory, because we garner a sense of where we would be in any given generation. Some modern Pagans choose to ignore their entire heritage from the Middle Ages simply because they don't have a family tree. It's easier to identify with projected, mysterious Pagan ancestors than it is with Christian ancestors from the Middle Ages if one lacks a family tree.
However, if you know your real ancestors—your family lineage from the 1800s going back to the 1500s, 1400s, 1300s, and earlier—you know yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to identify with our culture and ancestors from the colonial era, the medieval era, or the Victorian era and still be a Pagan. It is perfectly acceptable to practice the habits and customs, and to take a liking to our ancestors from any century, and still be a Pagan. For context, historical Germanic Pagans depicted the Gods in the cultural context of their day and were—for the most part—men and women of their time. They were completely connected to their ancestral heritage, knew their ancestors, and had established forms of worship without having to think about it—whereas today, many people don't have that. This is why it is so important to formulate these things.
A notable example comes from Adam of Bremen's 11th-century Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum. In it, Bremen describes the way in which the idols of the Gods were adorned at the temple at Uppsala. Óðinn is described as wearing armour and wielding weapons (which Bremen likens to portrayals of Mars). This shows that historical Pagan Swedes depicted the Gods in armour and with weapons that were modern to them in their day. The same is true for the Lindby idol of Óðinn, the Rällinge statuette of Freyr, and the Eyrarland statuette of Þórr, all of which show the Gods wearing a conical hat that was common across Scandinavia in the Viking Age.
Rather than viewing our history as "Paganism -> gap -> revivalism," we should be viewing our history as a continuum. The Gods have always existed, and the functional structure and nature of the universe has not changed. Objective reality (i.e., that the Gods exist) does not—and therefore has not—changed due to shifts in consensus or changes in cultural context. We should strive to live in the now and cultivate the revitalisation of Paganism: enjoy and appreciate all of our history and all of our ancestors; use the sources on Germanic Paganism as a framework to establish our own authentic forms of worship; form real groups; and revitalise our worship of the Gods and the veneration of our ancestors.

Redemption:
● Request via app
● 1 oz requires council review
● Redemption scheduled
● Tokens burned, silver delivered
● Vault and ledger updated
Maintenance:
● Weekly: health checks and backups
● Monthly: updates + patches
● Quarterly: audits
----------------------
IX. Governance
● Clan Council (5 families) oversee protocol decisions
● Major decisions require 3-of-5 majority
● Coinwardens manage physical silver, audits, and redemptions
● Protocol updates via signed proposals and clan voting
----------------------
X. Future Expansion
● Inter-clan trade using SK-to-SK swaps
● Token bridges with other resource-based currencies (grain, copper, labor)
● Compute-backed or energy-credit extensions (Silfr + Kraftr = hybrid economy)
----------------------
XI. Summary
Silfr Kern is:
● Backed by reality (silver)
● Governed by trust (clan council)
● Executed by code (lightweight digital ledger)
It is a currency of roots and reason — an embodiment of the land’s wealth, the clan’s honor, and the sacred kernel of value.
Obviously as a whitepaper this is merely a concept, development and implementation is up to whoever decides to look into this. This is a method of breaking traditional finance and keeping to your own. Not intended as a main banking system realistically one should still keep a USD bank account for normal outer economic activity and typical paycheck deposit.
Silver type should be some form of 1 troy oz round or coin. In time upgrading to bars or something larger might be prudent. Silver has been fairly “stable” so to speak but that can always change, pegging price and figuring out how to handle extreme cases is important for stability and fairness. Integration with outsiders is also a good problem to solve, do you allow outsiders to participate? Buy in without any benefits except buying your stuff (like a gift card?) Or do you keep it closed and nigh secret.
Lots to think about here but something like this is essential in the years to come. Hyperlocal economics, clan currencies, and the eventual breaking of traditional finance.

VÉLANDR SURVEYORS GUIDE
If you’ve read our post on VÉLANDR geomantic system you may want an actionable item to try it out. Well here it is! A short guide on a method of surveying using a gradient scoring system with seasonal modifiers. Take a stab at it, improve it, tweak it, do what you will with it. We hope this concept is interesting and something useful.
We think it’s a highly practical theological innovation and literally has potential for some automation. You could survey your entire land and build a “heat map” of sacredness allowing one to pin point the exact right spot. Essentially you’d pick an arbitrary center size (25’x25’ maybe) and then steadily scan across your land filling out surveys and gradating a map. Weather sensors, light sensors, water level guages, photographic evidence could be logged, rated, and scored.
