Indo-Europeanism For The Modern Age
ARYAN – IRMIN – UGRA MAN ?
It often seems that everybody knows, and is correspondingly keen to claim the mantle of "Aryan". And it is understandably so. The term is the most archaic Indo-European ethnonym we readily have directly available to us. Which should not be confused for its being a general nor generalized Indo-European ethnonym - as it is a … Continue reading ARYAN – IRMIN – UGRA MAN ?

Now, I felt this insignia … Continue reading The Indomitable Eye In The Sky – ‘Athena’ Unit Patch For US NRO Spy Satellite Launch
Techno-Heraldry – Cloaked Crows And Electric Warfare
[Author's Note: For the past few weeks I've been taking a look at various pretty modern heraldry and military unit insignia, observing the manner in which even amidst the modern world we find pronounced and often downright deliberate resonancies with the Indo-European mythic syllabary of the archaic and the eternal world.

Or, as Tristan occasionally semi-derisively terms it - my "Techno-Theology". It may seem a bit of a peculiar thing to get hung up about. After all, technological advancement has … Continue reading ON TECHNO-THEOLOGY PART ONE
Rumours Of Their Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

The core point nevertheless remains a vitally important one.

To Ride The Steppe Of Stars
So one of the more … unexpected-yet-then-falls-into-place concepts I've come up with in the course of my writing, is the "Steppe of Stars"; Literally up there with the "Sea of Stars"/"Seas of the Sun" 'Space Is An Ocean' typology - which also has a perhaps surprising Indo-European precedency, and which forms a patina far closer … Continue reading To Ride The Steppe Of Stars

On Indo-European Gods Playing Dice With The Universe
