Yesterday I was asked a question relating to Pluto / Pluton / Plutus , Hades , and Dis Pater. Specifically, whether these had much to do with the Indo-European Sky Father Deific. The short answer is: Yes, Very Yes. There's a few other things I should probably say, particularly around the actual etymology (and, for … Continue reading The Wealth Of The Lord Of The Dead – A Brief Explication

A Few Musings On Myth, Ritual, Reality, And Rsis
Yesterday, I happened across the following quote posted on twitter: "Cult expresses itself in two ways: myth and ritual.

Now, a full-scale writeup of all the observed concordancies for this figure is … Continue reading Perseus , Krishna , Karna – Three Perspectives Upon The Origin Myth Of The Indo-European Striker/Thunderer

On Music As Kosmos (Order[ing])
"धिमिद्धिमिद्धिमिध्वनन्मृदङ्गतुङ्गमङ्गल ।ध्वनिक्रमप्रवर्तितप्रचण्डताण्डवः शिवः ॥" While I disagree with her on most everything else, it was said by the famed anarchist Emma Goldman - "if I can't dance, then it's not my revolution".

A Brief Thought On What The Recent Rounds Of DNA Testing Indicate
A thought about all these DNA/ancestry tests that've been popular for awhile now. Now, it's tempting to just write the whole thing off as being a faddish portal to popular-genetics in a manner that's almost as fast-and-loose as Astrology or the Myers-Briggs personality assessments.
