Ancestral Window Ritual and Crafting Intergenerational Continuity - Part 2

.
Crafting clan continuity

This concept is basically where an individual may observe and/or perceive... and ultimately formulate an inter-generational set of consistent-congruencies based on their own culture, sub-culture, beliefs, religion, politics, values, etc., as it relates to their own bloodline or a part of it. In other words, your family in whole or part, possesses certain consistent and congruent behaviors or tendencies... generation after generation. It may skip a generation here or there. This is a realm where reality and fantasy become particularly conflated. At best, there's a very special spiritual bliss to it; at worst, it could be an arrogant attempt to manipulate others. It's the whole range of good and bad and right and wrong. I would suggest keeping it within the range of the former. If shared, then it would be best kept to a simple shared idea or value.

Whereas the room/window ritual could easily be a collective endeavor, the idea of formulating the direction and consistency of a clan continuity is inherently more personal... and perhaps should remain as such. This is the idea that you can observe and chart, largely in a subjective manner, particular patterns within your bloodline or a part of your bloodline. This can be very provocative... and ultimately may be controversial. In other words, a crafted set of consistent chronological/inter-generational values and activities is more true for that individual. Since each family represents two different larger clans coming together, there can be many consistently-congruent--but different and sometimes opposing and/or competing--behaviors, values. spiritualities, and... politics (ouch!). Hence the reason that this is best for the individual self.

On the positive side, this crafting of consistent-congruencies via the bloodline can free your mind to at least explore many possibilities.. and there doesn't have to be any limiting perception of right or wrong. Therefore, hypothetically, if two different family members--lets just say unbeknownst to each other--were to both craft or chart some sort of congruent clan continuity, or even just a history, the results may reflect a very different history, set of values, or even world view. One may be correct and the other incorrect, they both may be correct, or they both may be incorrect; therefore maintaining the subjectivity and lessening the right and wrong factor probably would be best. Maybe it could work if those involved were really on the same page or agree that one cultural element or belief is of the utmost importance and focus.


Crafting continuity of cultural collectives

Within the framework of the reality of "a history of any distinct people" and the concept of shared ancestry, if someone shared the related consistent-congruencies of their family... a person not directly related to them could subtly adopt that history in something of a collective-historical manner... or in turn, share their own. This type of sharing may spiritually enhance the collective experience, it may bond them closer together, or it may bring focus to a greater meaning. There can be something of a collective ancestor, but not a direct descendant. Tito Speri was a hero of what was essentially the Lombard nation in the middle of the nineteenth century. Like my family, he was a Brescian; so he was something of a collective ancestor, but I'm not blood-related to him.

Of course, this type of crafting of inter-generational values could be applied to aspects other than clan history or collective ancestral ties. It could be latched onto any religion or politic... but somehow this, although applicable, lacks the spiritual metaphysics of a DNA-connection. However, if there exists a strong cultural divide within a particular family or the larger clan..... well, this concept could aid in perhaps establishing what amounts to a breakaway clan if

need be! This thought-process of crafting values and congruencies should  be a tool of liberating the mind and exploring possibilities. Once I ran into a blog in which the person's whole message was to tie Asatru/Heathenism to Communism/Marxism. It was nonsense, but it apparently liberated this person's mind. It could be thought of as a tool for the personal-evolution of an individual; a personal or family mythos... or a relatively larger clan mythos of some type. Ideally, individual identity should go hand-in-glove with each larger collective identity. One shouldn't be devalued at the hands of another. Intrinsically, it's probably something that should evolve over time.

While becoming, we discover, we already are.
