Whether you are ending your day or just now rising. Here is some wisdom from the Lord who pours out blessings, Gautr, Óðinn.
Hávamál 58.
"He must early go forth | who fain the blood
Or the goods of another would get;
The wolf that lies idle | shall win little meat,
Or the sleeping man success."
Being a night owl this is something I struggle with.
However, I see it this way there is much to be done in the mornings or evenings, but doing so before others is important.
If one wants a modern tactical and applicable take, this can easily be viewed as taking advantage of the time you have.
Ultimately, finding the spirit and willpower to put forth effort to make success in whatever endeavor you strive towards.
Be this growing stronger, accumulating wealth, growing a community, better supporting one's family or clan, personal spiritual growth, or even hobbies.
If you take the Allfather's words here as both a command and a word of wisdom, meeting him with effort, he will, in turn, pour blessings upon said effort.

Aus Richard Wagners „Der Ring des Nibelungen: Rheingold“ (1914) by Franz Stassen
„Was, mächtig der Furcht, mein Muth mir erfand, wenn siegend es lebt – leg' es den Sinn dir dar!“
Die Götter steigen auf Bifröst herab. Wotan und Fricka schreiten der Brücke zu: Froh und Freia folgen zunächst, dann Donner.
"What, mighty with fear, my courage has invented for me, if it lives victoriously – let it reveal its meaning to you!"
The gods descend upon Bifröst. Wotan and Fricka approach the bridge: Froh and Freia follow first, then Donner.

Uniformity & Aesthetics
Rodnovers in the Slavic nations are growing faster than almost every Western Heathen group. It’s not because they have more sources, but because they have unity and aesthetics. They cherish their collective identity & reject the notion of hyper-individualism. They have shared colors, shared symbols, have steadfast discipline, & a common vision. Meanwhile, Western Heathenry clings to the libertarian fantasy of a “completely unique tribal identity.” Everyone has to be different & everyone has to make their own mark. The result is a fragmented & weak presence that falls prey to the divide & conquer tactics of our enemies
Sedish Heathenry rejects that flaw. Identity must be visible. Cohesion must be cultivated. Culture is like a language - if everyone speaks different, then no one understands
I love our folk & believe that we can be strong again, but only if we work together
Freedom is belonging to something greater than self & shared aesthetics is a good first step

"You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor.
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty that the brave endure,
Must have made foes. If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip.
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip.
You’ve never turned the wrong to right.
You’ve been a coward in the Fight"
~Charles Mackay

The Folkish pagan movement is a fractured mess, torn apart by endless feuds and petty egos. Bad actors? They’re everywhere stirring drama, pushing agendas, and poisoning the well with their toxic nonsense. But here’s the raw truth: we’re all feeding this chaos. We’ve been dragged into a pointless spiral of infighting, wasting our fire on keyboard wars while our communities languish and our traditions fade.
I’m not preaching from a high horse. I’ve been guilty of diving into this stupidity too, and I’m owning it. It’s a drain on our sacred energy, and we’re worth more than this.
Our Ancestors didn’t fight through blood and fire to preserve our ways just so we could squabble over who’s the “realest” pagan on Telegram. Every second spent on drama is a second stolen from building what matters: stronger kindreds, deeper rituals, families rooted in our heritage. The world’s crumbling, and we’re out here scrapping like rats over crumbs.
No more. I’m done wasting breath on bad actors who aren’t in my circle and don’t deserve my time. Let those clowns self-implode in their own misery their irrelevance is their punishment.
I’m not burying hatchets or playing nice with snakes, but I’m redirecting my focus to what’s real: our Folk, our Gods, our future. Let’s pour our passion into forging unbreakable communities. Teach our kids the old stories. Honor the land. Lift up those who stand with us, and ignore the noise from those who don’t. Bad actors will keep slinking around. Let them scream into the void. I’m stepping up, and I’m calling every one of you to do the same. Rise above, rebuild, and make our Ancestors proud.

“In 2015 a team of medievalists from the University of Nottingham and scientists from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences center published a paper on an Old English remedy for an eye infection or a sty from Bald’s Leechbook. The 1,000-year-old recipe was for an ēag-sealf (eye salve) that combined garlic and other herbs from the genus Allium (like leek or onion) with wine and ox bile in an ār-fæt [brass or copper vessel]. The individual ingredients were already known to have beneficial effects, although none of them particularly robust. Garlic, leeks and onions produce a ‘range of anti-microbial compounds,’ and bile may also be antibacterial. Wine may also be another source of antimicrobials, or simply a solvent for the other ingredients. The copper of the ār-fæt can prevent the growth of bacteria. But the researchers learned through experimentation that the ēag-sealf was highly effective when the ingredients were combined according to the leechbook’s precise instructions, which allowed the various ingredients to interact with each other in a brass vessel for nine days……..the ēag-sealf from Bald’s Leechbook not only prevented further growth of MRSA bacteria, it killed those already present in artificial wounds….”

“As it was a primitive and widespread custom at a banquet to set aside a part of the food for the household gods, and particularly to place a dish of broth before Berhta and Hulda, the gods were also invited to share the festive drink. The drinker, before taking any himself, would pour some out of his vessel for the god or house-sprite, as the Lithuanians, when they drank beer, spilt some of it on the ground for their earth-goddess Zemynele.”

It’s May! It’s May!
The Germanic translations here are from the wonderful Germanic-Gregorian calendar made by the International Germanic Heathen Fellowship, which I use as a template for my own yearly holiday calendar.
May was known as—
Winni-mānod (Pasture month) in Old High German, and according to Grimm, also known as Phol-mânôt (Baldur’s Month).
Middle High German: Wonnemonat,
Dutch: Wonnemaand (Month of Joy), Bloeimaand and West Frisian Blommemoanne (both meaning “Flower month”) and also Dutch Mariamaand (Mary’s Month).
Old English: Þrimilce-mōnaþ (Month of Three Milkings) and Old Norse Gaukmánuðr (Cuckoo-month) and also Saðtið (Seed Time).
Tolkien rendered OE Þrimilce-mōnaþ into “Thrimidge,” “Thrimich,” or “Thrimilch.”
As for the Celtic languages, it might be no surprise that May in Irish is called Mi Bealtaine, named after one of the four most important holidays in the Celtic year, the Manx: Boaldyn Mi carries the same meaning.
Scottish Gaelic: An Cèitean (the Head of Summer)
The Cornish: mys Me derives from Maia – the Greek goddess who eventually gave her name to the Latin month Maius, (although some believe the month to have derived its name from maiores, or ancestors). Compare to Welsh: mis Mai and Breton: miz Mae.
Old Gaulish: According to our best reconstructions of the Coligny Calendar, modern May would correspond roughly with the month of Cantios, the month of singing (which ran from about mid-April to Mid-May) and Samonios (Samo- being the Gaulish word for summer), being the beginning of the calendar year
For my own Germanic-Celt household, in May we celebrate Germanic May Day and Celtic Bealtaine on May 1st.
We hold a blót on the full moon of every month and on suggestion of the IGHF, for this blót we we give thanks for, and pray for, the continuance of the Old Ways.

Carl-Herman Tillhagen recorded that a belief had persisted among the peasants of Småland well into the 18th Century, that it was forbidden to harm ravens, crows or magpies…because they are Odin’s birds.

Happy May Day! Also known as Beltane or Bealtaine, meaning bright fire.
Today celebrates the fire of life and the incredible aspects that represents. Such as the sun increasing fertility and outward, upward growth. The passion that resides inside us and ignites our interests, curiosity, explorations and love for the world. The fire of our life force that gives us energy, brings our dreams to life and creates. The fire of life force that is threaded through seed, soil, nut, baby and egg, pulling and pushing them to break open, to grow and bring their medicine into the world.
With the coming of Beltane, comes a beautiful unfolding of colour within the Forests, hedgerows and fields. The world begins to show that a new phase is beginning, life is awakening, budding, opening and surging forwar

A little bit 🦉 about 🦉the 🦉word “owl”🦉
Some words it seems, begin through what is called “imitative origin.” In the case of “owl,” our ancestors named them after the sounds they heard them make.
It seems the Germanics evolved their words mostly from the *who* sound; while Italo-Celts did it from *caw* and *who*
Celtic: ☘️🇮🇪🏴🇮🇲
PIE: *kaw 🦉
Proto-Celtic: *kawannos (see Latin cavannus)
Gaulish: *cauannos
Scottish: comhachag [kõ.exag]
You also have comhachag-ruan, and comachag-donn (tawny owl or brown owl)
Comhachag-adharach and comhachag-chluasacg (long eared owl and short eared owl)
Welsh: cuan
Cornish: kowan
Old Breton: couann
Modern Breton: kaouenn
These seem to be the Celtic *caw* names, while others seemed to derive from *who:*
Irish: ulchabhán (ul-ha-wan)
Ulchabhán donn (tawny or brown owl)
Ulchabhán réisc (short-eared owl)
Old Irish: Ulchobcán
Scottish: Ullaid
Ullaid-sgrech (barn owl)
Manx: hullad (and various iterations of this for different species, ex. hullad eairkagh or long-eared owl)
hullad vane or hullad soailt (barn owl
hullad ghoan (tawny/brown owl)
Cornish: oula or ula
ula gwynn (barn owl)
ula kernek (long-eared owl)
ula gwenn (short-eared owl)
Fascinatingly enough, it seems that the Gaels must have associated The Callieach, the goddess of storms and winter, the Hag of Herbs, with owls—as barn owls are also known as callieach oíche, and tawny owls Callieach-oidhche, while the Manx called barn owls calliagh oie (all of which mean “night crone” or “night witch.”)
Identification with other animals also happens with Irish ceann cait and Manx, kione kyit
(Both translate roughly to “cat head”) 🐈⬛🐱
Germanic: 🇩🇪🇫🇴🇮🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪🇦🇹🇨🇭🇳🇱
(Apparently from imitative origin *who-who, I am unable to find a PIE root)
Proto-Germanic: *uwwô
*uwwalō, *uwwalon
Proto-West-Germanic: *hūwuk
Old English: *hū, ūle, *hūle
Old Saxon: hūwo, hūo
Middle Low German: hûk, hûke
Old High German: hūwo, hūwila (☝️🤓) hûke
German: Eule
Schleiereule (barn owl), Schneeeule (snowy owl), Uhu (eagle owl), Sumpfohreule (short-eared owl)
Dutch: uil
kerkuil (barn owl)
Frisian: ûle
Old Norse: ugla
Icelandic: ugla
Faroese: ugla, ugli, úla
Norwegian and Danish: ugle
Swedish: uggla
I do not claim this list to be by any means exhaustive or free from inaccuracies—if you know of any local/regional names for owls or specific owl species in a Celtic/Germanic language, let me know! If you speak a language that is something other than a Celtic or Germanic language and you know your language’s “owl etymology,” please do share, I love learning new words.

2.Tawny owl (Strix aluco)
3. Barred owl (an American cousin of the European tawny owl, Strix varia)
