We had recently had a comment on facebook, on a post of some pertinence in relation to a modern-day Classical religious revival, that read as the following: Now, because it may be of a more general interest (at least, a more general resonancy), I felt I might reproduce some of my reply here:Begins: I cannot … Continue reading Indo-European Religious Resurrection – Not The Denial, But The Furtherance, Of History’s Flow

Shravana , Ganymede , Gayatri , Shyena – And Other Points Of Syzygy Within Vedic And Classical Myth And Star-Lore
With the Shaivite Holy Month of Shravan Maas in full (indeed, double!) swing, it seems apt to detail a potentially remarkable Indo-European concordancy between the Nakshatra (Asterism) of Śravaṇa (aka Śroṇa ) and the Hellenic perception of same. Depicted upon this star-chart (sourced from Manasataramgini) is the constellation of Aquila in Western / Hellenic terms. … Continue reading Shravana , Ganymede , Gayatri , Shyena – And Other Points Of Syzygy Within Vedic And Classical Myth And Star-Lore
Of Mantras And (Weaponized) Metallurgy – An Excerpt
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
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
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
