My family is a mixture of Viking, Irish and Scottish Celt. I do not see any Anglo-Saxon DNA – or even any Anglo-Saxon mentality. We are indigenous “British” – mixed with invading Viking – or invading Viking mixed with various degrees of Celt – whichever way you want to interpret that reality. However, as the Vikings mixed with the Irish and Scots, and given that Duddington was an area of pure Viking settlement (the surname of “Wyles” [Jarles] appears to be Viking) it is probably true to say that my family maintains the internal structures of “hierarchy”, “tyranny”, and “despotism” – with the strongest individual tasked with both “protecting” and “leading”. The eldest males are in-charge – and from this flows all benevolence. When it comes to controlling finance and children – women have 100% say-so. Men will not act without the permission of women. The “Man of the House” – that is the oldest male, does not deliberately rule from the front – but keeps in the background whilst the younger people get on with their lives. They only exercise their power should a) it be asked for, or b) it is required. Generally speaking, the clan leader maintains a natural power that exists due to status. There is no need to continuously prove one’s worth – as it is already there.
If a dominant woman does not agree – the man will not act – there will be an impasse. This means that no action will be taken. Of course, conflicting with powers outside the family is a normal occupations for working-class Celts. Although we can seldom win these wars in real terms – we win in another way – as the inner structure of the family is protected and secured. We divert the enemy and turn their attention to a more or less irrelevant feature which they invariably fall for. We encourage the false idea that “they are more intelligent” and that “they have beaten us” – and we retreat in mock defeat. This is how we handle the authorities. Children watch their parents doing this from an early age – and on it goes. The modern equivalent of showing the Shire-Reef our naked bottoms when he comes to collect taxes. Letting the middle and upper-classes think we are thick is one of our greatest defences. Inwardly, we cannot be rattled regardless of what is done to use externally. We will not bend to any blow and we never show it hurts.
Interestingly, much of what I have described above is very similar to how the clan structures of the Hakka Chinese work and operate (there is a legebdary idea within Hakka culture that the Hakka are linked to Europe). It may well be the case that all tribal organisations across the world think and act in this way. The ability to control violence (that is to “fight”) is linked to clan control in China. Although the eldest son leads the clan – and the dominant clan leads the community – there are situations when this changes due to the use of physical force. A fight between competing clan-branches can lead to a change of dominance in the locale as one leader is usurped for another. This is how a clan can be changed “side-ways” – another way is that an older man passes away – and his eldest son takes his place. This is what has happened to myself. My father passed away on May 29th, 2026 aged 84-years and 1-day. I ascended to clan-leader on that day – 1-day prior to my 59th birthday – which is just right for possessing wisdom and the unbending strength of age.
My father ascended to clan-leader in 1976 (his father passed away aged 60-years) – whilst my father was just 33-years old. As Celts (Vikings) we have enjoyed physical fighting. We have practiced and perfected martial arts – and like a good fight. We are unafraid of those who like to try to bully and control others with force – we will take them on and crush these morons in the name of the people. Again, wisdom is important. My Irish grandmother said although “A man should be a man!” it is also true that “A good run is better than a bad stand!” I am sure that everyone else, if they put their minds to it, can tell a tale of how their family inwardly operates once it is disentangled from the fabricated “norms” imposed upon it by outside forces. After-all, we are living history. Te latest layer of industrialised programming tends to obscure those modes of life that defined the peasant (clannish) existence – but which still flow in our veins. Either-way, such a reality is nothing to be afrain of. Compassion and understanding are the marks of a true leader.
