"Frith" means freedom from molestation, protection; safety, and/or 'security'.

hmm frith means alot more than that, i think i got the cut of his jib.

It also covers who I extend that protection to or are outside of it.

No my question does look quite rhetorical doesn't it.

My bad and apologies jonb.
A day without learning is a day wasted.
Just found the Asatru/Odinism definition of 'Frith' not the Old English definition I gave.
You're right Nov it is far broader than my Old English definition which probably comes from a Norse root anyhoo.

I dare say it is not. In actual fact it is the other way around, you are a part of it. And to all intent and purpose the part cannot be greater than the whole.

^Not fiction, what the desert religion State does.

Right at the end of The Wicker Man, something remarkable happens. In a serendipitous feat of filming, cinematographer Harry Waxman captures the colossus’s head collapsing into the fire to reveal the evening sun behind, just as it is about to sink down into the sea.





The Maypole is actually an ancient symbol of fertility and also the Egyptian God and King Osiris' phallus. The Maypole is a modern-day portable ancient phallic symbol that is meant to represent the male generative powers in the phallus, which is really just an idol or image of an erect penis.
The strings/ribbons are the semen.

Roman Catholic Queen Mary I- who we know represents Isis, had ascended the throne and reinstated these yearly celebrations during the month of May, along with the erection of the king's phallus- AKA the Maypole.



In 1854, the Papacy declared Mary sinless, and in 1951, they declared that she had ascended unto heaven, where she was crowned as the "Queen of heaven." This was called the Assumption of Mary. Since then, the complete system of Babylonian worship, with Mary taking the role of the mediatrix, has thus been established within Catholicism.

The origin of May Pole dancing dates back to the Pagan times, and the Maypole was basically a phallic symbol. May Pole dancing was strongly associated with fertility. Traditionally May Pole Dancing was performed by the young girls from the Medieval villages as part of the May time celebrations. The History of the Maypole and May Pole dancing was connected with both the Druids, Wiccans and the Romans. May 1 was an important date for the Druids as this was when the festival of Beltane held. Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season and was celebrated by lighting fires. Wiccans celebrated by dancing round a Maypole and choosing a May Queen.

Osiris, Romans, Druids, but I wonder where the maypole is most part of the culture, and what mythology is not mentioned, it seems
just more of the usual expunging folk and culture from history.

So should benefit scroungers be burned at the stake or are they merely continuing a folk tradition?

You tell me.
