Poor spite of your good learning [Northern sages]!

This post is a second introduction since the first one I made shared too many details, however I update here introspection more aligned with this specific forum.

Cultures and their histories are fascinating, as many others find, especially those of our own ancestries, which is why I pursue finding truths which further the understanding of facts pertaining to my ancestors.

I am a Master of Business and former scholar-athlete, with experience in pragmatic fields alongside the more esoteric industries including spiritualism.

Born in America, my goal is to connect with people who share similar heritage, both Native Americans (as I have their heritage starting a few hundred years back, in the Delaware River Valley and Massachusetts Bay from the Algonquian peoples) and Europeans, specifically that of the Germanic and Gaelic peoples, whom I derive near ancestry from as a quarter German-Austrian (fourth generation maternally and fifth generation paternally, respectively).

I also am fourth generation Lithuanian, maternally, and sixth generation Cymry (Welsh), paternally.

There is even supposedly a Dutch Mayor of Harlem in my ancestry, among other Netherlander ancestors, so the sentiment is there to assist a Frisian project.

Therefore, in working with this forum, concurrent with similar projects, I seek to work on material I am more well versed in, such as that of the Gael, known as Scots, as one of my primary projects is regarding the Poets of Ireland (Filí na hÉireann) and revitalizing forms of their practice in the modern era.

The Oera Linda Book intrigues me, since I intuitively believe I am of that folk, and to wit, there is great sympathy for a modern surge to denounce claims of pseudo connotations, since the Gael shares this plight albeit less promoted globally with the same surge as Frisian descendents are, when reflecting on their own Gaelic history.

With this all stated, it is great to be here and I wish all well in their progress of establishing truths.
