00:00:00.200 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and folk of all ages, it is February 1st, so you know what time it is.
00:00:07.720 Time to go over the holidays, holy days, and days of remembrance of our people.
00:00:11.820 Now on YouTube Shorts.
00:00:14.120 We start that off today, February 1st, the day of remembrance for King Enfrith of Buternicia,
00:00:20.600 who was an early 7th century Saxon ruler who, after years in exile and a brief period of conversion,
00:00:26.980 under pressure, courageously reclaimed both his throne and his ancestral faith, renouncing
00:00:33.460 the foreign Christian baptism he had accepted while living amongst the Scots to once again
00:00:38.720 stand in truth with the Aesir and uphold the native beliefs of his people.
00:00:44.640 Although his reign was short and ended tragically in betrayal during a peace mission, his bold
00:00:51.080 restoration of Alcetru in Northumbria, choosing loyalty to our gods and our folk over ease and
00:00:58.760 safety, marks him as a powerful example of devotion to ancestral duty and spiritual integrity
00:01:05.840 for all Alcetruar. And following just a week later on February the 9th, Day of Remembrance for Ivan
00:01:13.600 Kinrifa, who was a Norwegian noble and unwavering Alcetruar who lived at the turn of the first
00:01:19.860 millennium and stood openly for the native gods, even as Christianization spread across his
00:01:25.820 homeland. Answering the call to defend his people and the Isir with courage and integrity,
00:01:31.980 when King Olaf Tryggvason captured him, Ivan refused all bribes of wealth, land, and safety 0.80
00:01:37.180 to renounce his ancestral faith, choosing instead to remain loyal to the Isir of his
00:01:42.480 forebears until his death at Olaf's hands, making his life and sacrifice a powerful example of
00:01:49.380 steadfast devotion, and the duty every Alcetruar bears to uphold Alcetru in the face of pressures
00:01:54.740 to forsake it. And we round out the month with our holiday on February 21st with Disithing,
00:02:01.620 which is an ancient seasonal ritual celebrated at the beginning of the planting year that embodies
00:02:07.220 the Alcetruar duty to actively engage with the world, honor the gods in Ardisir, and take
00:02:13.880 responsibility for the well-being of our folk by blessing the tools of productivity, such as the
00:02:19.180 plow, offering prayers and gifts to the Aesir and symbolically breaking ground for a fruitful
00:02:24.880 harvest. This observance teaches the devotion to the Aesir is not merely belief, but action,
00:02:32.840 calling each Alcetuar to inflict their will on the world through industriousness, intention, 0.79
00:02:37.760 and sacred partnership with the divine as they work, create, and prepare to reap the year's
00:02:43.140 Harvest. And that's what we got.
00:02:45.860 Hail King Yenfrith.
00:02:47.540 Hail Ivan Canariffa.
00:02:49.140 Hail Freyr. Hail the Folk. 1.00
00:02:51.200 Hail the AFA. Hail the Iseer. 1.00
00:02:53.640 Hail Victory. And hail y'all.
00:02:56.100 Have a great February.
