Tom Rowsell@Tom_Rowsell·
Starting Heathenry is a NEW ritual-focused online course which will furnish you with the knowledge and confidence to practise the Germanic Heathen religion alone or with others, making wise decisions about worship based on reliable historical evidence. The course teaches you how to construct Heathen prayers for yourself, not according to the established rites of any modern group, but according to what historical sources show. Starting Heathenry assumes you are interested in Germanic paganism, know about the gods and myths, and want to begin practising this religion, but require guidance on how to do so. It is based on a micro-learning structure which is proven to improve knowledge retention by 18-80% in students compared to other learning methods. The 10 lessons include over 50 videos, and quizzes to access from your phone or computer. Access more than 5 hours of learning material bit by bit, as you please. A modern method of learning about an ancient religion. Your path to knowing the gods through ritual starts here

That guy can't read. "alleged sub-Caucasian source of PIE" 2022/2025

Remembering in 2022 when I politely pushed back on the Southern Arc hypothesis, and suggested Harvard didn't have proper evidence of the alleged sub-Caucasian source of PIE and that they had ignored Sredny Stog. Then loads of brown people said I was "coping" or "crashing out". Then in 2024 when the same authors published a paper debunking their own claims and showing Sredny Stog was indeed, as I had suggested, the original PIE culture, there was not one among my detractors decent enough to admit "Rowsell was right".

New Gothic(!) runic inscription found; a Roman solidus coin with runic "graffiti" on it. I'll be attending the lecture and report back on the find, but it's also available on Zoom for anyone to join and it's held in English.

@Joe827031835024 @DaiBev @Elizabeth_eno2 It was never a catchall for Celts. It probably originated as the name for one Celtic people. Even in Britain the English never called Scots and Irish people Wealas

@Tom_Rowsell @DaiBev @Elizabeth_eno2 And before that probably just meant Celt. It is most likely of Celtic origin, from the same source as Latin Volcae.

The word is probably a name, the first element either Frauja 'Lord, Frey' or *fraus 'happy, glad', both common in Gothic personal names.

he was right. seems a lot of indians got super excited about a possible NW-iranian adjacent origin for PIE

@JacobAShell Bad choice of words. Estonian comes from a migration of Siberians much later, and Armenian comes from a migration of Europeans into Armenia. CHG and EHG are not proto-anything from today. But WSH are without doubt a European racial type

@Tom_Rowsell I'm not perceiving the "racial stakes" from their POV. If the Yamnaya were the offspring of Proto-Estonians and Proto-Armenias...so what. I dont see why anyone today would have their chauvinism tickled by this

@maptismcontact This is why i am never sure whether we can say Celtic is a Bell Beaker language

Infact, Bell Beaker and Corded Ware coexisted to such a degree for around 300 years that the Unetice Culture of 2200bc still has noticable Corded Ware influence. In Regions like Central Germany, CWC and BB Coexisted heavily, however in regions like the Danube and Switzerland, BB and CWC were mutually exclusive and their settlement areas didn't overlap. It is a very interesting period, and difficult to understand from a fully Settlement Archaeological Viewpoint.

Fascinating. I've read how one village could be Bell Beaker (proto Celtic) and the next Corded Ware, but this really lays it out.

“Sredny Stog denialism” is the strangest tripwire. EG ive noticed that the Ludovic Orlando team in their excellent horse domestication research, never ever says “Sredny Stog” preferring instead to vaguely refer to “Derievka” or “Ukrainian samples.” Feels like “Sredny Stog” is associated with Anthony and everyone has distanced themselves bc they dont want the headache of bad peer reviews etc. It’s all l just bizarre. Theres some politics to this but I cant fathom what
