where do we see the root-culture?

we see it today in the little there is left of Jól or "christmass" in Iceland and Norway and actually all the Jól or tradishions of midvinter festivals are coming from the north, from Scandinavia and then originally from Iceland, Eldland, the Fireland, Snæland or Snowland, Altland, Attland, Hella,Heimaey, Himinn, (himinlega, himmalæja) Hafey, Sóley, Þeley, Thule, Hyperboria, Land of the eternals.... the list would be long if I attempted to write all these names... each culture has names for the origin place from different times back... written in to the folklore, the origen stories, stories of gods and goddesses (when the ice-time fire-ape came out of the isolation he was much bigger than the little people of the "earth" (and earth is all land except the origen place) and where they came from. Therefore we have the word giants for those coming south... a name given bye the little ones... and daughters of man where really attracted to these giants and their fire magic.
--------------
but back to the question, where do we see the root-culture today, some reminenses?

yes jól and the midsummer festivities in Sweden and the may-pole..

the fire ofcours... thats the first couse of the whole human afaire... it was seen as a little sun... in times of the great sun´s absence... (due to vulcanic activity and a meteriot falling on the west side of the island) yes nowadays its still alife in scandinavia, everybody knows it here in Scandinavia, in Iceland they are so paranoid that no fires are allowed except in new year and then they get crazy... burn everything and explode like mad. No control at all. Typical Icelandic "ÖFGAR"... (dont remember the english notion for öfgar. Basically to much both ways. To much, thats an Icelander yes, to much fear, to much anger and frustration... well this is global actually but just so exagerated in Iceland.)

what more ... yes the imagination, arts, poetry, and songs and dances and colorful beautiful clothes.

And they know Soma, the drink of visdom, immortality and good health...

Jewellaries... silver and particulary gold ornamennts to remind on the sun.

All we know about the lamb and the fish, comes from before the vikings and the gangster times.

Ships come from before the vikings, they had been evolving for thousends of years, but the "Norrlands-boat or North of Norway stile of a ship is close to the elf-stile of a ship 2000 years ago. Long before Odin came to Scandinavia with his "Mackiavellian" stile.

The pot and the knif is very old.

The circular dome house called borg or kot, out of turf.

Skies they had and beautiful pointed boots and special snow thing for walking... (dont know what it is called in english)

Plants they knew all about and mushrooms and what was good for health and how to apply it.

Glíma is older than vikings deffinetly... the old fashion stile of fighting sport in Iceland.

Most of the musical instrumennts beside piano and organ they had desighned long before vikings and land robbery. Specially attractive where the variational forms of harps.

Ritual plays they where experts in. Thats how they keep alife and shear their history.

Cave-making was comon, and they had their temples in caves and there they also projected their history.. thats way im looking for a cave that has not been found for more that 1100 years... to see futher back.

Bread was made bye the people before the vikings... (remember the 2700 years old bakery house in the Sheatlands Island...) and then agriculture was established bye this very people, and not in sumer as most dogmas imagine.

Yes the very name Island, the word used for Islands in general is the name of this original place and all islands got their name from the sourse then, same applies to the word Geysir... its a name of one hot water eruption pot in south of Iceland but now used in English for all erupting water pots.

And the astrology and astronomy of all continents come from the same place, the root place.
And calanders have their origen there, and the maps, showing Iceland in the middle and up and north. Still lingering in the maps from England and Europe, or in general all maps have this stile, north is always up.

Ways of healing and curing they where experts there. Much better than modern medisine... less dangerious and harmful definetly.

The art of altering landscape they knew well, both hills and lakes and watering canals.

Hospitality and generossity was the Icelandic tradishion loong way back. Wonder how much of it is there today?

humans and animals where friends those days... there where no fences.. elfs would sing and they come like called...

Children stories and children games and yes the art of storytelling.

Painting, both body and walls and coloring cloths. All this they got used to when they where bathing in the colorful clay zones of the high heat zones. And sculpture and carving, making cups ad images from clay.. baskets and birch bark art. Garlands.

Yes, bathing is one of the oldest tradishion of the fire ape...

And perhaps most importantly, the shamanistic tradishion of going to trace and trawelling in other dimentions and divination was one of the central points of the old ways... consulting the orackle... very much developed bye the women in old iceland , Lohi the one tooth hag of the north, (in Kalevala finish poetry more than 1000 years old) ... later called Freyja.

The word for mother, in icelandic mamma and father, in icelandic pabbi and Amma (gramndmother) is almost identical over the whole planet... and these are the oldest words we have... in all languiches its a variation of these words. The root is Ma. Its the mark of the root-culture. The mother culture.

Handshakes and symbol in communication, like waving and pointing and the gesture come or go is really old, perhaps as old as the fire use.

The wheel and the wagon was made bye sun-worshipers to drive the "goddess", the person who was elected as a protector of the small sun, the fire.

Ecological insight and experience was their central philosophy...

Keeping historical data they where really good at.

Genetical selection was practiced very exstensively, especially the last 150.000 years...

Yes the languich... Icelandic and Finish, the two classical ones are developed in these last 100.000 years mostly... but finish is older i believe... but only between 1 or 2000 years ago whole northern Europe spoke old-fashion Icelandic..

Hammer is older than Iron-use, so it is old.. and many other simple tools like the axe.

Big dressis of the women and this cloth over the head is much older than Sumer. (thinking about Hanuxa the story of the origen in the fire-land in southest part of south america.

The bow and the arrows is really really old.

The fishnet come straight from the spider woman, Loki, logi the flame... i.i. Iceland.
The same tribe made stiching and yes weaving.

Magic is old and meditations on the inner realms and sexual tecknics to raise the sensitivity... the kundalini experience... comes all they way from the very beginning of the fire ape.

All the first great civilations where created bye this rootpeople... and then they get washed out when they mix with the local people... the doughters of men... yes the icetime ape was bigger than the little people living in groups all over Evro-Asia-Africa... now that race is almost gone and so much of genes have been spread all over the planet that now we are almost all the same sise... but still small people are born, even up in Iceland, showing us what was.. but is almost eliminated bye consious selection and bye killing out the small people, taking their land. I am really sorry that they are dying out. I wish we could protect small minorities of special people groups.

And they know the future.. though divination.

And they made their desitions togeather in a circle like all families still do... they had talking sticks and feathers... they know how to talk to the great spirit of all energy and consiousness.

Yes they where fashinated bye the stars because it was a stone from heaven that created this strange solutions for to survive... the constant baths and the fire use, the little sun. Thats way the where full on looking to the sky. Reading the sighns. The pole star became a symbol for the origen.. i.i. iceland yes... the little bear and the big one are a symbol for the first families who whent away from the island... on the cost of Norway and Ireland with an ice-sheat over the continennt..... another very important zone was that of Orion and the blue star, the dogstar.
But in general the projected their history into the starlore and into the days of the week and into the names of the months and yes into their caves, houses, cloths. Its all full of messiges. Letters to us in code.

The origen stories.. of all cultures talk about this place... an island in a enourmous deep sea, far north, vulcanic island with hot water for bathing, big snow covered mountains, under the pole-star (and thats way I know that the person giving Polland its name know the polestar pleace is the place they come from... and where is Iceland?, yes under the pole star.. So those Polish people who have mooved to Iceland... they are just coming back home.

and there is an unconsious knowing also... those turists who come to iceland (a lot from Germany and France and the nordic countries) i believe they are drawn to iceland becouse there is an unconsious memory triggering something to make them go there again and again... something they miss and love deep down.

Yes Iceland is smaller than 12000 years ago... almost half of what it was, but with less snow on its back... (the turtle island... had a sheall made of ice and mooved very slowly... when there where earth quackes)

When another icetime is upon us, those alife then (if any) will have it easier to remember how it really was... and how it is possible and was to walk to Iceland and back, over the polar ice.

In general, almost everything we have beside the production of massines, comes from the culture that now has been lyed away, silenced out of exhistance...

Yes.. I can add some more points here when the show up in my mind, this is at least a hint.

----yes.. can we open our senses to this obviuous truth, that these North American/Europian/Mesapotemien culture´s have been converted to madness of constant expansion and inayalation of all that wants to stop them, and destruction of everything we love and need for to persue happyness and wholeness. That this power madness is just overwelming and an expanding horror for all nature and therefore for all of us... can we see this togeather...

we need to open the discussion and explore this togeather and keep in tuch those who see this.

Im for to go into the holy tradishions, i am into learn whatever i find of holy ways of the elfs and trolls and the giants. I love the Jól and the midsummer gatherings.

shear your vision on these important matters!
