    Agafia the “Old Believers” documentary. Hermit Surviving in Russian Wilderness for 70 years.
    In the mid-17th century, the leader of Russia’s Orthodox Church, Patriarch Nikon, introduced radical reforms in Russia. Many couldn’t accept the changes and became known as “Old Believers”. To avoid religious persecution first from the Orthodox Church…[Read more]

    • I’ve used the clothing of the Old Believer’s when doing speculative Norse clothing. The women still wear essentially apron dresses (there is a debate if they are Norse or from Russian Coats without sleeves but they look the same) and their fantastic tradition of woven belts (I’ve made a few now). Very interesting people I do have to say.

      • I feel like joining them these days 🙂

      • Folks the Second part of the Solari wrap up is posted in the members’ area.

      • Folks part one of the Solari Third Quarter wrap up is now posted in the members’ area. This is both a video and audio.

        • Seems they’re putting up more resistance in Germany than most other places. I guess memories of the Stasi are still fresh in some people’s minds.

          • … Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, MfS or Staatssicherheitsdienst, SSD
            Wensierski, Peter – East German Snitching Went Far Beyond the Stasi
            … a good start to understanding the history … The Rise of Modern Police and the European State System from Metternich to the Second World War by Hsi-Huey Liang, and the film The Lives of Others.

            • It’s true I don’t know much about it. What I imagine is Soviet-type all-pervasive paranoia where your “friends” spy on you (a little of which I did see firsthand), combined with Nazi-type ruthlessness and efficiency. Awful stuff.

      • Nora the cat is back again, in this video playing a piano duet. Strange as it may seem, it sounds to me like Nora is actually trying to play a third voice harmony in the duet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypJDXayM5FM

        • Cats are special, and this one seems ‘specially special!

          • Dog person myself but always end up with cats not wanted and thrown my way or just come along and stay. Have two at the moment but the funny thing is I am scared of cats always have been for some reason and boy don’t they know it the rascals. I am very well trained by them!

            • I’m very much a dog person, too. In fact, I’m allergic to cats. I admire them from a safe distance. Cats are highly discerning; so, if they make their way to you, it’s a compliment!

            • Nothing to be afraid of…;)…we have dogs and cats…the cats always show up one way or another so we seem to have 2 or 3 on deck at one time. Our latest, a Ferel Cat that came and stayed from the forest…one of the most unusual cats we have ever known. Something is very different about the forest cats…senses and intelligence are highly…[Read more]

        • that cat plays better than me 🙂

        • She’s Meowzart :), bless!

      • Yep it’s that time for a lighter side look at Thrice Great Hermetica and GMO’s with Mike Flanchered interview w/ Dr. Farrell…enjoy!

      • OK folks, there’s ANOTHER new dialogue in the members’ area with Mr. Tino von Struckman, regarding the Nazi Bell. This is a FIRST for our dialogues, because Mr. Von Struckman shares with us his pictures and videos from his recent visit to the site of the Nazi Bell, plus some juicy tidbits of information that add more data, and questions, to the…[Read more]

        • An absolute MUCH WATCH for those who have read Dr. Farrell’s books (I guess that pretty much includes most people here). WOWSER!

        • The was really cool, I enjoyed that. If I had the money I’d love to crawl around all over that place.
