Brief excerpt from our recent megalithic piece … "Instead, the best explanation for various of these is that when we are dealing with metaphysically potent liturgies … they are metaphysically potent liturgies. And they are quite deliberately constructed in such a way as to maximize their power. Which can involve ‘weaving together’ mutually reinforcing and … Continue reading Of Mantras And (Weaponized) Metallurgy – An Excerpt

On The Sky Father As Dragon Destroyer
Something we have often had cause to make reference to is the fact that this most prominent of Indo-European mythemes, the Smiting of the Demon-Dragon, is NOT exclusive in commissioning to the Striker/Thunderer deific. But is, rather, a case of 'Like Father - Like Son'. As with, perhaps uncoincidentally, the wielding of Thunder in various … Continue reading On The Sky Father As Dragon Destroyer
On Several Roudran Theonymics
Right so I got bored being unproductive. So here's an excerpt that I excised out of a work I'm currently producing, because it was too much of a digression. Main area of interest for most will be the progression of theonymics from a sector of the Sri Rudram. Jai Sri Rudra "Indeed, whilst not a … Continue reading On Several Roudran Theonymics
A Brief Point On Ovid’s Re-Memification Of Arachne Contra Athena
occasional reminder that that's (probably) not how the myth went [prior to Ovid getting his hands on it and making some 'alterations'] [you may recall my commentary viz. what he did to the myth around Artemis and Actaeon - wherein we know, due to various other tellings and the Vedic cognate, that it's a story … Continue reading A Brief Point On Ovid’s Re-Memification Of Arachne Contra Athena
On The Games Of The Gods
So, as we have occasionally discussed … while Einstein et co were pondering upon God playing dice with the universe - Indo-European Gods were not only playing dice, but also an array of other games, as well. Here's an illustration from the cover of a Tamil magazine ('Kalki', so I'm told) featuring Shiva playing a … Continue reading On The Games Of The Gods
A Thunderbolt For The Sky Father – Amidst The Burning Branches Of Demon-Smiting Lightning
It seems the most logical, natural thing in the world - and certainly, we have amply attested acknowledgement for this in and about multiple Indo-European spheres. Yet somehow , the situation of the Thunderbolt has become something of a 'cudgel' with which some have sought to 'beat' deifics such as Odin and Shiva out of … Continue reading A Thunderbolt For The Sky Father – Amidst The Burning Branches Of Demon-Smiting Lightning
On The Three Rune Rows Of The Elder Futhark In Potential Vedic Light
A curious thought I have had this evening concerning the Three Ættir ['Clans', Sets / Rows] of the Elder Futhark. These are customarily divided based upon the first Rune in each - *Fehu , *Hagalaz, and *Tiwaz ; with these being further associated , as applies the first, with Freyr , and with some efforts … Continue reading On The Three Rune Rows Of The Elder Futhark In Potential Vedic Light
ShivaJi, Jai Singh, and Combat Theology In Praxis
The 2nd of June marked the 350th anniversary of the coronation of ShivaJi. With that in mind - it seemed apt to finalize a piece looking at a rather under-explored detail pertaining to the great man's ascent. As I think we all know by now, I make a fairly active study of what we might … Continue reading ShivaJi, Jai Singh, and Combat Theology In Praxis
The Egg Of Nemesis In Etruscan Presentation By Turms / Hermes / Mercury
An Etruscan depiction of the Egg of Nemesis being presented to the King of Sparta, hence the labelling of ' Turms ' ( Hermes / Mercury ), 'Tuntle' (Tyndareos / Tyndareus), and 'Latva' (Leda) This is from the lesser-known 'alternate' explication for the Birth of Helen ['Elinei' / 'Elinai' / 'Elina'] in which it is … Continue reading The Egg Of Nemesis In Etruscan Presentation By Turms / Hermes / Mercury
On Bhishma As Sky Father Incarnate – A Guest-Post With Annotations
[Editor's Note: It is a grand thing when we find our efforts to have sparked an impact. In this case, a few weeks prior we had had a most energetic conversation with a lad, Utsav Sambhava, who had a few thoughts in relation to some pieces I'd sketched out in 2021 pertaining to a pattern in … Continue reading On Bhishma As Sky Father Incarnate – A Guest-Post With Annotations
