ভগবান ইউল (Yule), ভগবান জোল (Jól) এবং জোলের (Jöl) দেবতা

ভগবান জোল। …এবং ভগবান -জোলনির / জোলফদর এখন, এটি কিছুটা অর্থহীন  পূরনাবৃত্তি ,কারণ আমরা দেখতে পাই যে জোলন (Jóln) শব্দটি নিজেই দেবতাদের অর্থে ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে। যদি অনুমান করা হয় যে জোলন বা জোল শব্দের জন্য একটি অনুমানভিত্তিক প্রোটো-ইন্দো-ইউরোপীয় বুৎপত্তি (PIE:*Yek)) সঠিক - যার অর্থ উচ্চারণ করা, বা একটি প্রদর্শনী প্রদর্শন করা… তাহলে এটি দেবতা শব্দের … Continue reading ভগবান ইউল (Yule), ভগবান জোল (Jól) এবং জোলের (Jöl) দেবতা

The Indo-European Divine Rite Of The Covenant In Vafþrúðnismál ? Some Preliminary Notes

Because it's been awhile since I put out properly finished content - here's what you might consider some 'working notes'.

Instead of that, we shall just observe that the Indo-European Sky Father being engaged with in these recurrent iterations of Post/Pillar or Tree, speaks to a significant … Continue reading A Post For The Sky Father [Arya Akasha Arka]

Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Two: Irrigating The Worlds With Blood-Dimmed Tide]

As you can see there from the title, our intent with these linked pieces has been to take a look at one of the more foundational questions to the Indo-European theology. Namely, why it is that we carry out rites of sacrifice and offering to the Gods in the first place. I suspect that for … Continue reading Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Two: Irrigating The Worlds With Blood-Dimmed Tide]

On Algiz, Alcis, Ullr, The Germanic Iteration Of Indo-European Sacred Space, And Its Dread Protector

The following was initially an exploration for what I consider to be the likely meaning for the Rune *Algiz ᛉ (beautifully illustrated there by 'Automatic Moon'), featuring discussion also upon the theology for Ullr. It then … grew rather significantly - and now seems to feature a rather expansive hypothesis viz. a 'working model' for … Continue reading On Algiz, Alcis, Ullr, The Germanic Iteration Of Indo-European Sacred Space, And Its Dread Protector

The Spring Equinox approaches (at least, at time of writing; some weeks have passed since then) - and with it, the onset of the War Season of the archaic Indo-Europeans. Whether the Quinquatrus and Tubilustrium of the Romans, situated within their Month of Mars (mensis Martius - whence our modern name for it: 'March'); the … Continue reading On The Equinox War-Rites Of The Indo-Europeans – As Illuminating The Roman Quinquatria [Part One – The Goddess-Oriented War Rites Introduced]

Tveggi – Dyaus Dualis [Part I]

The Indo-European Sky Father is a God of Masques. Many of these are, upon the surface, quite clearly culturally specific - panoplies best-befitting for a particular Indo-European people's individuated circumstances, environs, and heritage. Yet when considered in constellation alongside their correlate co-expressions amidst other Indo-European groups, potent underpinning patternings often begin to shine through. In … Continue reading Tveggi – Dyaus Dualis [Part I]
