| | They had established these principles indeed before Christianity appeared in England, and Jefferson conceived American freedom as a restoration on a new soil of the 'happy system of our ancestors,' as he called it. | | | This was the reason why, as John Adams remembered later, Jefferson suggested that the great seal of the country should bear on one side the images of Hengist and Horsa [The Saxon leaders who settled their people in England]." | | | The errors of the last couple of centuries have wrought havoc on this ideal, but the original design of America was one inspired by Asatru and Asafolk! |

| | Although Horsa was slain during this monumental battle against the forces of Romano-Brittonic-Judeo-Christianity, his brother Hengest is believed to have lived as the Heathen king of Kent untill the year 488 CE. | | | Hengest and Horsa were the sons of Wihtgils who was Wittas offspring. | | | Throughout Pagan Germanic belief it was believed widely that the Germanic peoples were descended from the Gods that they worshipped, so it could be that when the Anglo-Saxons settled England, the brother gods Hengest and Horsa were not just regarded as leaders of the Anglo-Saxon folk, but also seen as Gods themselves, Wodens children. |
