Religion โ a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channelโs own recent posts on 22 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a modelโs judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured โ it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 11 March 2026 โ the reader has not yet reached the start of this channelโs public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegramโs post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute โ we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 13 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
A reminder that the next fullmoon marks Midsummer. One of its traditional names is the "mead moon," and looking around locally, it is quite fitting as the most obvious coloring is very meadlike from the weeds that have all turned golden in color.
This verse, while always important, holds special importance this year. It is truly a year of hardwork and difficulty - the testing of one in all the various places of life. I see it within myself and all around me in the lives of others. This is a year filled with vast potential if we are willing to face the obstacles presented to us by Woden Who is both Ygg ("Dread One") and Eadwine ("Wealthgiver"). This year is a โฆ
Here is a verse of Hรกvamรกl translated into traditional verse matching the Old Norse ljรณรฐahรกttr ('leedform'). "รr skal rรญsa, sรก er annars vill fรฉ eรฐa fjรถr hafa; sjaldan liggjandi ulfr lรฆr of getr nรฉ sofandi maรฐr sigr." "Early should rise the one that another's living or life would take; seldom the loafing wolf his lunch does get, nor the sleeping man sige." ยน - Hรกvamรกl 58 ยน sige = "victory"

I was watching a documentary about Confucius. During his time he spent some time pondering why China was in such a decayed state seemingly filled with nothing but chaos in comparison to an earlier stage (the "Zhou Era") which was an almost golden age in some sense. After careful consideration he determined that the main reason was the essential lack of what he called "li" (Han ็ฆฎ). "Li" has multiple meanings: "ritual/โฆ
Here is a fun stave I wrote in the traditional verse known as leedform (ON. ljรณรฐahรกttr), but with an added endrhyme on every third line. "The ravens ride the roaring wind, where weapons gleam in gore. Shields are splintered, and spears are thrown, in battle's din the berserks roar." The verseform follows a simple format: Lines 1, 2, 4, and 5 consist of 4 steps ("the - rav - ens - ride") and staverhyme (alliterate) โฆ
I wish you and yours a wonderful Easterblote. May the ambereyed Dรญs of the dawn bless you with a fruitful season, may She shower you with the heavenly flowers of potent creativity and abundance, and may She fill your days with joy like the warming rays of the sun after a storm. The hearts of the Earth and its children jump forth with newfound vigor, ready to embrace the blessings of the Ese and Wanes, and so too shoโฆ
Hereโs poem I made about a slain hero being sent back to Miรฐgarรฐ from Valhall to restore cosmic order. Valhallโs winds wind from the High-Oneโs mouth to Its heroes. Herjanโs men are made merry with the holy mead of Heiรฐrun. And fed well by Sรฆhrimnirโs meat. A far-famed warrior was I, and fell by Jรณlnirโs flame. Gleefully I sit upon the golden seats of Gautr. Miรฐgarรฐr mourns the loss of Her glory, The folk have forsaโฆ
"Wisest Woden, Won'drous Father, free me from these fetters. Let me now look Thy Light upon free from fear and folly." * Written in 'leedform' (Old Norse ljรณรฐahรกttr)
A man shall not boast of his keenness of mind - but keep it close in his breast. To the silent and wise does ill come seldom - when he goes as guest to a house. Havamal (stanza 6)
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @thefolkway. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked โ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it โ t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so โ1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel โ every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched โ that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting todayโs namer to yesterdayโs owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason โ naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides โ the โNamed by N registered channelsโ figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 16 September 2026 โ this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
