In the preceding part, we had explored a most remarkable situation - attested and occurrent amidst both Hellenic and Hindu spheres - for the Goddess in relation to a certain Water of the Underworld; this (Blue-Black) pathway opening up at the behest (and, indeed, Spear) of Her Husband, the Sky Father (Hades & Shiva, respectively). … Continue reading The Divine Roadway of the Underworld – Oaths, Liminality & Law [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Four]

The Cyan Paṭh To Tartarus Via Way Of Kashmir [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Three]
To begin as we had earlier intended to continue - there exists a recurrent occurrence within the Indo-European both mythology and ritual praxis for the immersion of the Goddess figure. This comes in several semi-overlapping expressions, contingent upon the local requirements and developments for their mythology. For instance - we in the Hindusphere know of … Continue reading The Cyan Paṭh To Tartarus Via Way Of Kashmir [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Three]
GEBO-ANSUZ : A GIFT FOR THE GOD(S) [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Two]
An essential component to the Offering we had undertaken for the Goddess, Persephone - Kali, was the Weapons Sacrifice, carried out via Water. We have previously considered some of the specific characteristics to our own iteration of this - the result of the officiating Brahmin's remarkable flash of inspiration upon the subject. And I say … Continue reading GEBO-ANSUZ : A GIFT FOR THE GOD(S) [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Two]

The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali [Part One: The Return]
Ours is a glorious path. One which has set forth for the pious engagement with the ancient, the archaic, the ancestral … yet which has also undertaken to exist not merely within museums, but out amidst the modern world. Which does not, of course, mean that it ought be confused for something fundamentally "modern". And … Continue reading The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali [Part One: The Return]
The Glorious Re-Ascent Of Rudra-Odin
I had posted the scriptural excerpt above (as translated by Manasataramgini) with the accompanying brief comment, for Kaal Bhairava Jayanti last year. With it having been upon a Tuesday Night this time around - and therefore, a Wednesday Morning Dawn … it seems perhaps apt to contemplate an evident Germanic correlate for the mythic occurance … Continue reading The Glorious Re-Ascent Of Rudra-Odin
The Roudran Arrows Of Artemis ?
Contemplation: we have earlier observed an array of directly coterminous conceptry viz. Artemis and Rudra (something which, to be sure, Manasataramgini - as per usual - beat us to as a general notion). Now, I am considering Odyssey XI 172-3 - wherein Odysseys asks, effectively, how his mother has died when encountering her shade in … Continue reading The Roudran Arrows Of Artemis ?
