sources and research notes
era ≠ support: “colonial” dates the evidence; “unsourced-entry” assesses it — one never derives the other. Attribution distinguishes, never ranks.

- spiritual reflection (founder (reserved — his own words) · reserved: personal spiritual reflections (Seiðr-related experiences) will be preserved here in the founder's own words, dated and attributed. Personal importance without biological-descent verification — the lens never upgrades evidence.)
