Hera As Indo-European Goddess – A Preliminary Investigation
Over the weekend, I somehow wound up party to a debate featuring a man claiming that Zeus was somehow not a Sky Father. Which, needless to say, is a contention that I strongly oppose. Zeus Pater is quite clearly one of the Greek expressions of the Indo-European Sky Father - as we can see via … Continue reading Hera As Indo-European Goddess – A Preliminary Investigation
On Our Mission
Earlier this evening, I was asked the following question by a new acquaintance: "Why the obsession with connecting Norse religion with Hinduism though?" I suspect that this is something that a fair few people looking at our efforts have found themselves wondering; so it makes sense to reproduce the answer here (with some slight edits … Continue reading On Our Mission
Kaal Hades Erebus – A Brief Look At The Darkening Veil Betwixt Light And Life, Darkness And Death – The Solar Underworld Covered
Something I love about our field is the manner in which the linguistics - the etymology - facilitates the proper understanding and construal of meaning. This is occasionally derided as being the supplanting of serious theology via etymology … but with this I do not agree. At most, it is the supplementation - and as … Continue reading Kaal Hades Erebus – A Brief Look At The Darkening Veil Betwixt Light And Life, Darkness And Death – The Solar Underworld Covered
On Odin As Agni
Part One: Kindling The Flame In a number of my previous works now, I have established the fundamental equation of the Odin of the Eddic mythology with the Shiva of the Vedic sphere. I have also shown how the Rudra, the Brihaspati, the Agni, the Vayu, the Parjanya of the Vedas - are also all Faces, … Continue reading On Odin As Agni
Proof For Parjanya – The Sky Father Roars Through Scriptural Force!
It is always nice to be vindicated ! A little over a year ago, I published a piece ["Swear By The Sea, Swear By The Stars, Swear By The Sky"] which set out Parjanya as a Face of the Sky Father responsible for Rain and the nurturing of life upon this world of ours through … Continue reading Proof For Parjanya – The Sky Father Roars Through Scriptural Force!
Polytheism, Over-Divinity, And Drama Amidst The Divine Council – Some Brief Answers To Some Foundational Indo-European Theological Questions
I was asked the question: "can you explain how you can have multiple gods, who struggle with each other, or would you say there is some other entity deciding which god wins and which god loses in these struggles?" It's a pretty interesting one, and as far as I'm aware the person asking it hasn't … Continue reading Polytheism, Over-Divinity, And Drama Amidst The Divine Council – Some Brief Answers To Some Foundational Indo-European Theological Questions
A Brief Metaphysics of Soma , Vak , Vajra
Earlier today, I was asked a question about the nature of Soma and Amrit . I've written quite extensively about these topics elsewhere - but instead of just posting an onslaught of links, I thought it would be helpful to provide a brief overview of what's going on with these and the true nature of … Continue reading A Brief Metaphysics of Soma , Vak , Vajra
On Using The IndraNet To Facilitate Indo-European Religious Revival
Something that's got me thinking - and while it starts off (as it often does) Hindu, of broader relevancy to the wider Indo-European religious revival that's going on at present. This ongoing pandemic is leading to some interesting - and creative - developments in the religious sphere. I got a message from one of the … Continue reading On Using The IndraNet To Facilitate Indo-European Religious Revival
The Wealth Of The Lord Of The Dead – A Brief Explication
Yesterday I was asked a question relating to Pluto / Pluton / Plutus , Hades , and Dis Pater. Specifically, whether these had much to do with the Indo-European Sky Father Deific. The short answer is: Yes, Very Yes. There's a few other things I should probably say, particularly around the actual etymology (and, for … Continue reading The Wealth Of The Lord Of The Dead – A Brief Explication
