Vali – Son of Wotan and God of Feud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud) (Faide, Faid).
In the poetic Edda, Vali is the son of Wotan and Rind, and is begotten to avenge the death of Baldr, who was killed by Hod, who was himself bewitched by Loki. He does not wash or comb his hair until he has accomplished this task.
This abstinence is reminiscent of a rite attributed to the Germanic people of the Chattes by Tacitus in chapter 31 of Germania (1st century), where they let their hair and beard grow from puberty until they have killed an enemy, and only then are they worthy of their family.
The Faide « right of private revenge » is a tribal concept, which is totally opposed to universalist degenerate westernist justice because the rights of the victim take precedence over those of the guilty.
In Germanic societies (Franks, Burgundians, Lombards, etc.), the faide was a system of private revenge between two enemy families, two clans, two tribes, two races, etc.
This faide therefore had a strongly collective dimension. If, for example, a free man had offended the family of another and was judged guilty by the courts (the Thing), the offended family had a right of faide over the first.
In practical terms, one murder could lead to another — not necessarily the murderer’s own: any member of his family group could be targeted, as could a race whose member in one way or another attacks a member of another tribe.
In this system, it was not the public authorities who punished crimes and offences, but the individuals and groups who had been harmed who took justice into their own hands.
