I - The 'Difficult' Facings To The Draconic Lord, At Least In Minds Of Academia Few figures better demonstrate the immediate worth of our approach for the Western IE sphere in these matters, perhaps, than that of Zeus Meilichios. Why? Because here we have a deific - an Aspect of Zeus, I should more properly … Continue reading Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [ Part Two – Meilichios – ‘Zeus Be Nice Now’ ]

Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [ Part One – Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed ]
Recently, we had marked MahaShivRatri - the Great Night of Shiva. And therefore, as has become our custom, we present a devotional tribute (A)Arti-cle. An effort that is, at once, intended to explore a facet of Him (as the Hindu Shiva) - and yet also cast a broader illumination upon that same dimension in relation … Continue reading Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [ Part One – Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed ]
On Ramprasad’s Devi Theonymic Weapons Of The Mind
An associate had sent me this poem - curiously, as fate would have it, very swiftly after I'd finished my Kali & Durga hymnals in the pre-dawn darkness here after yet another night awake. It is an interesting suite of verses. And no doubt, would be more so if I were working from the Bengali … Continue reading On Ramprasad’s Devi Theonymic Weapons Of The Mind
For Juno Sospita
The First of February is, so I have just heard, the anniversary of the dedication of the Palatine Temple of Juno Sospita ['The Savioress'] in Rome. We find this prominently mentioned in Ovid's Fasti (II 55-66): "At the start of the month [of February] they say that Juno the Saviour (Sospita),Neighbouring the Phrygian Mother, was … Continue reading For Juno Sospita
The Hellenistic Astrology Approach
[What follows is a guest-piece by our associate, Clécio Pereira Juventino. We have been significantly intrigued by this notion of a 'Hellenic Astrology' for some time - motivated in no small part by our own ongoing observations of the strong concordancies of Hellenic star-lore with its Vaidika / Jyotisha cousin, and therefore pointing toward an … Continue reading The Hellenistic Astrology Approach
Of Wolf And Dragon
Recently, we ran a piece which looked at a perhaps surprising 'transition' within the Nordic mythos - namely, how the Fenris Wolf appeared plausibly to be a 'carrying forward' of what is otherwise a Serpentine or Draconic adversary confronted by the Sky Father deific in other Indo-European perspectives. Now, that's … quite a surprising thing … Continue reading Of Wolf And Dragon
On The True Origins Of Jormungandr – Illuminated Via The Dread Vedic Sorcery Of Tvastr
The Nordic sphere of Indo-European religion is a paradox. At once it has a fragmentary textual canon that's substantively post-Christianization and by various turns interpolated, euhemerized, cryptic, and occasionally just plain missing. Yet it also manages to preserve quite an array of authentic and archaic elements within its troves. By which I don't (just) mean all … Continue reading On The True Origins Of Jormungandr – Illuminated Via The Dread Vedic Sorcery Of Tvastr
A Further Saturnian Hymn [Juventino Saturn Hymnals I of VII]
As we have said - we intend to present a series of bespoke liturgies for Saturn with a view to rendering justly more prominent within the minds of men His Glory. And so - this being Saturday, His Day, here is the next in the series (indeed, the first of a set of seven) penned … Continue reading A Further Saturnian Hymn [Juventino Saturn Hymnals I of VII]
On Tonight’s ‘Triple Wolf Moon’
While it's not an official observance - we nevertheless found tonight's astrological occurrences to be pretty legit. It's a bit of a 'Triple' Wolf Moon. Insofar as it's a Wolf Moon … whilst Ardra is up (Jyotisha / Hindu astrology) and the Moon is in Gemini (Western astrology .. with a twist - more on … Continue reading On Tonight’s ‘Triple Wolf Moon’
On Mythic Truth
There has recently been something of a furore in parts of the Germanic revivalist sphere over matters of what we might term 'scriptural literalism' and 'mythic truth'. We don't intend to get into the details as to what caused it - only to reproduce (with some slight editing) an endeavour at an explication as to … Continue reading On Mythic Truth
