The English Movement
There has been, for some time now, a noticed growth in English consciousness. Some would say that it first manifested itself in international sports areanas, the use of the St George's Cross flag of England instead of the Union Flag of Britain as was commonly used prior to the mid-nineties. There have been calls for St George's day to be declared a new Bank Holiday in England. Folk groups have spawned, devoted to English tradition. May Day celebrations are seeing a resurgence, as demonstrated at Uttoxeter and other places. Rock bands such as Winterfylleth, Wodensthrone, Forefather and Fyrdsman have joined the folk musicians in producing songs about old England - especially with Anglo-Saxon and heathen themes. And on the subject of heathen religion; there are today several heathen groups in England that have their foundations in what we know of old English heathenism.
There are protest groups calling for equality and fairness for English people, there are political groups and parties calling for an independent England through an English parliament. There are individuals and organisations - such as the one you are reading now, that reject rampant consumerism and the trappings of modern culture - much of it imported from the United States and other countries, which love the English countryside and stand against increased urbanisation.
Many of these groups, though not directly linked, agree on several principles as mentioned above. A lot of them use the White Dragon as their symbol.
This movement, this new consciousness and need to think outside the box, to relate to earlier times when consumerism, globalism and celebrity culture were not the be all and end all, is known to the folk who advocate it as 'our movement', or 'the English movement'.
Some would describe the movement as English nationalism. In a way it is - but it is also much more than that, with many of its adherents anything but nationalists - many would be better described as 'traditionalists'.
We at England Reborn are proud to be part of this burgeoning movement, and look forward to the day that the majority of England's inhabitants can hold the same values as we here do.
