Video Description: "This is another take of the same message, but with different lightning and higher picture quality, just to test how these videos can be improved. My ancestors' grave. My thoughts about the word "ancestors". Here I'm using the word for indicating people who have lived at my place before me, even if they cannot be proven to be my genealogical or genetical ancestors. To me bloodline isn't important at all. I feel more connected to people who has been living at my place before me. This is a 5,300 years old passage tomb (gånggrift, jættestue, Ganggrab) from the Neolithic period. It's called Södra Ängshögen (i.e. "the southern meadow mound") (Falköping stad Raä nr 9) and it's situated at the crossing of Scheelegatan and Torstensonsgatan in Falköping in Västergötland in Sweden.

Video Description: "Forn Sed is a polytheistic and pluralistic pagan religion. We believe in myths and a cyclic understanding of time. This is in opposition to monotheism, national socialism, fundamentalism, and "The One And Only Truth".

Video Description: "Here I am talking about the misconceptions that Forn Sed or Asatru is a racistic religion or a warrior religion. I also say something about this rune casting (rune divination) that I really wonder where and when it was created.

Video Description: "Join the Asatru Folk Assembly (AFA) as we revisit our extraordinary Asatru gathering in June 2009. This slideshow is a small representation of the activities and kinship experienced by all as we gathered at the Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer. Many ceremonies took place with well-spoken words led by Steve McNallen, Johnny Hulsey, Jule Cole-Hulsey, and our special guest, David James. Mr. James premiered the Midsummer blot that he had been working on and refining for decades. Another highlight of the event was the wedding of Scott Ackland and Cynthia Boyes of Minnesota, who made elaborate preparations to the delight of us all. We had outstanding presentations led by Liz Ashmead, Birgit Knorr, David James, and Steve McNallen. Stefn Thorsman entertained us well, in true comedic fashion, as he emceed a successful raffle and auction. We had a great team of women and men who planned and prepared our meals, sharing the burden with plenty of volunteer help. With buoyant spirits we gathered at an evening concert where we clapped and sang along with The Blarney Band, whose song, "Spancil Hill" is featured with this slideshow. (In the lyrics, a man dreams about his return to his childhood village at Midsummer where he views the changes over time, but in the end, he awakens in California.) New friendships and greater commitment to the AFA and our folkway were the end result of our gathering -- with our far-journeying guests all confirming their attendance at next year's Midsummer in the Sierras. For more information about the AFA and our branch of heathenry, go to www.runestone.org. Contact us at afa@runestone.org. Steve & Sheila McNallen"
