I think Orcish societies would have a dance form like ballet. I know the typical image of the wispy ballerina but every ballet dancer I've ever known IRL has been jacked. The precise control in balancing on toes and leaping smoothly and holding arms upright in sweeping postures. The movements that emphasize the line of the muscles. Young warrior-dancers putting on beautiful displays of athleticism on holidays, choreographed to relay clan folklore and history through the language of gesture. Grace & flexibility are the philosophical and artistic high callings of Orcish culture because strength is useless without those things

#I do like beginner ballet workout warmup things at home and it's SO FUCKING HARD lmao #orcs #headcanons #cultural

The ancient Lycians are among the most enigmatic people of antiquity because little historical record has been left behind them. But what has been discovered reveals a fascinating people culturally distinct from the rest of the ancient world at the time. Around twenty major sites remain today with the Lycians' unusual funerary architecture, including incredible rock-cut tombs carved into cliff faces dominating the breathtaking unspoiled land of Lycia.

Preparations for the Sant Antoni festivity in Sa Pobla, Mallorca (Balearic Islands). Video by Som illencs on Instagram.

Sant Antoni (Saint Anthony's Day, 17th January) is a traditional festivity celebrated in many parts of the Catalan Countries with different elements related to the saint, often with the story of how Saint Anthony fought the demons.

In Mallorca, the most iconic element of this holiday is the demons. Each town has its own traditional costumes and caparrots (big hollow heads to be worn) worn by the people who represent the demons, who will dance around the town to the sound of traditional music.

A few weeks before the festivity, they start preparing. In the video you can see people from Sa Pobla playing traditional music and singing a song about Saint Anthony's story while walking to the church, where the people who will be the demons next year are decided through a raffle (many people want to be the demons and there's not place to allow everyone).

On the Role of Cultural Education in Self Identity and Hypergamy

I’ve been thinking a lot about education lately. Why is it that I’ve spent a decade and half in the traditional education system and still not felt like a “human”? Why is it that when I finally began getting “real world knowledge” it all felt new and that school hasn’t prepared me for any of that? Why did I still feel unrefined as a human being?

I remember being at an HNI event years ago and being absolutely blank faced about what was going on. I didn’t know any of the topics they were talking about. That’s when it first hit me - my education system had failed me in some way. I felt stupid, like a little goldfish in the ocean.

There’s more to life than what we’re taught inside the four walls of a classroom. This year I’m going to heavily focus on my “cultural education.”

For context because I don’t want to mislead anyone: I’m Asian, my parents are HNIs (which explains specific knowledge and accessibility to certain things), I do have privilege which I accept and try to make good out of (such as volunteer work, working on impact-driven businesses).

Cultural knowledge expansion is important because it shapes you as a person. You realise that life is not black and white - there’s so much more to it. You think more about things that truly matter and you focus less on superficial things. You realise that there’s always some historical knowledge you can apply to current times.

Best of all - you’re on track to being smarter, wiser, confident and sociable. Even if you may not know all the answers, at least you know what to question!

I’m at an age where I’ve had families asking my family about my marriage prospects (arranged marriages are common in my culture, I would 90% opt for one at a later age, arranged marriages are NOT forced marriages) and I want to be able to be “too good” for anyone and everyone. In my culture, we don’t marry individuals; we marry families. The family that I would ideally want to get married into should be up to my standard as well. I want a man to earn the right to be my partner, not the other way round, no matter how much money or influence he has. This is something that my father has drilled in my head from day 1 - never settle for just anyone.

However - how can I ask for things if I don’t bring them to the table myself? How can I ask for someone cultured, highly educated, intellectual - if I am not trying to be those things?

Things To Culturally Expand On (and this is exactly what I would teach my future children)

You don’t have to be an expert of any of these. But even knowing the ABCs can take you a long way. I do feel that exploring these would help me connect to my feminine energy further as well. Only classroom knowledge will not build you as a person.

1. Watching indie movies / niche movies on MUBI.com

2. Learning the basics of crafts (embroidery, cooking, etc)

3. Exploring literature (at the moment, eastern literature)

4. Herbal medicines (this does not replace allopathy, but I do think that herbal remedies can be useful for minor things)

5. Poetry

6. Appreciating classical music (I’ve always appreciated western classical music because my mum insisted on my sibling and I learning the violin/piano (my sibling is really gifted)) especially eastern classical

7. Philosophy, eastern and western

8. Understanding and appreciating traditional dances

9. Working more on my native language

10. Being refined in my culture’s history and geography

Norwegian ambars

These beautiful buckets were used to store milk, butter and porridge. The were often carved or painted in the traditional art form known as "Rosemaling". The buckets used for butter rarley had decoration. The ones for porridge tend to be decorated the most as they were used for weddings or funerals.
