The following is a growing collection of contemporary artists and figures of note–an antidote to the perception that everything current is decadent.
They convey the spirit of various European ethno-cultures. This is the civilization and peoples I am part of, love, defend, and steward in this current time of crisis.
The following individuals are not necessarily associated with The Great Order project.

Poem: The Muse of Europa
The Motley Drama is a site run by a writer from the Midwestern USA named Kef.
I’d like to direct you in particular to a moving poem he wrote and agreed to have me recite:
The poem portrays a creative man being inspired and challenged by the spirit of his ancestors and culture.
He receives a call to contribute, protect, and rouse his troubled people and culture in the here and now.
Vsevolod Ivanov
Contemporary Russian painter creating scenes of a lost Vedic Slavic past. Not to be confused with the Soviet writer of the same name.

Ancient Swedish Herding Call
by Jonna Jinton –a young musician and photographer living the simple life in rural Sweden and writing about it.
Roger Dean
Contemporary English artist, started his career making rock album art in the late 1960s.
Alexander Uglanov
Another contemporary Russian painter depicting an ancient Vedic Slavic past.
Wolgemut
A group that performs medieval European folk music. I saw them perform live and it was at once a fun and profound experience. Their recordings boast a high production value.
-Their rendition of the Swedish folk song, Säckpipslåt, my favorite version of this song:
-As a Scottish kilt maker told my friend and I before seeing Wolgemut live, “they’re metal as hell!” You can work out to this track and many others:
Boris Olshanksy
Yet another contemporary Russian painter conjuring symbolic images of an ancient Vedic Slavic civilization.

Microtonal/Harmonic Series Guitar
The following two pieces of music performed on guitar give a possible glimpse into how music was heard in medieval Europe, prior to when equal temperament tuning became more widespread in the mid 18th century.
They utilize microtones–notes between the notes that our modern Western ears are used to hearing.
Thus, the pieces may sound strange and off-tune to many modern listeners. Microtones are used to this day in Eastern music scales (i.e. on a sitar).
I find the two pieces below are more proper compositions as compared to many other contemporary microtonal works (which often stay stuck in the realm of experimental music) and hear an otherworldly beauty in these:
