The Spiritual Centre of Woden's Folk is the Long-Man of Wilmington which we see as Woden in his role of the God of the Germanic Mannerbunde - the Cultic-Warrior band dedicated to the Wolf-God. The Long Man of Wilmington symbolises the constellation of Cygnus the Swan which can be seen above us during the summer months of the year. This is shaped as the Cweorth Rune (Fire-Twirl) and the Ear-Rune (Earth-Grave). It is the symbol of the Cultic-Warrior God found on many ancient Germanic artifacts, and also used in many other cultures.

The Holy White Stone of Ing can be found in a church in Steyning, West Sussex. The name "Steyning" translates as "Stone Ing" which seems to indicate a knowledge of this stone, buried in the churchyard until 1938 when it was unearthed. Its burial, maybe, ensured the runic inscription was kept intact.

The church was once dedicated to a "Saint Cuthman" ("Kinman") whose legend is linked to the Old English Rune Poem under the Ing-Rune. "St. Cuthman" is a Christianized version of Ing! This legend takes us back to Sceaf-Ing.

The knowledge held by our ancient English Ancestors may be proven in the fact that the Ing-Rune (Anglo-Saxon version) represents the DNA Code (as the XX shape seems to indicate). The Stone of Ing also seems to have the DNA shape within its symbolism. This can be seen not only in the Ing-Rune, but also in the shape of the carving of the stone as a whole. The Ing-Rune is the "Rune of the Sacred Blood", and the White Stone of Ing seems to be symbolic of the English Blood-Lines, directly descended from Sceaf-Ing. This is an indication of the people we always refer to as the "English".

Many thousands of years ago the world basked in a Golden Age of peace and plenty, when the growing of food was unknown and the killing of animals for food was unknown. Yet this happy state had to come to an end, and it did so with the onset of a Great Winter which plunged the Northlands into a state of freezing cold. At this time a great evil and Dark Force entered the world and the decline towards a mighty Dark Age began - slowly but surely.

Just before the end of the Golden Age a Swan-Ship was seen sailing towards the shores of Scandi (Thule or Atalland); on its mast was the Sun-Disc, and within the boat was a Golden Sun-Child, his head on a sheaf of corn, surrounded by weapons, and bearing a Fire-Stick. This Golden Sun-Child was named Sceaf by the ancient English Folk.

Sheaf had another name and that was Ing, for he was the Divine Ancestor of the Inglish or English. He was a god incarnate upon earth, sent by the Higher Powers to help the ancient Northern Folk through the harsh times that were to come. He was to bring the growing of crops, the arts of hunting for food, and the art of fire, sent down by the gods to warm mankind during the coming Great Winter.

It should be clear from this that the English hold a most ancient account of the ending of the Golden Age and the memory of the Racial Homeland - Thule or Atalland which was situated in the Far North, and which sank at the end of the Golden Age, causing the Germanic Folk-Wanderings of later ages.

The Mysteries outlined here can be found connected to the Holy White Stone of Ing which can be found in a South Saxon church porch, and which bears the inscription in Anglo-Saxon Runes - "Gift of Ing". The "Gift of Ing" here described is the Ken-Rune - the Gift of Fire from the Gods. Sceaf-Ing brought with him the Fire-Borer needed to create the Need-Fire or Friction-Fire which would be needed to warm the Folk, and to create fire for cooking.

As the Cycle of the Ages turned the Evil Force became more and more powerful and the need for a more warlike people arose. At this crucial time another avatar arose - Helgi Hundingsbane - with the sole purpose of kindling war amongst the Folk. This step was needed in order to prepare the Germanic Folk for the Dark Age which was coming into being - an age of warfare, chaos and disorder. We are well into this Warg-Age at this time and the arising of another avatar is due during the historical period we are living in today. This new avatar is the Crowned and Avenging Son prophesied to arise in the White Island - England.

The Hearth of Heruli operates in the South Saxon Mark. This WF Hearth is a specialist one dealing with the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag and the Ulfhednar Warrior Arts. Ulfhednar Combat is the title used for these Cultic Warrior arts.
