[Author's Note: Following on from the success of the Indo-European Horsemen of the Apocalypse article we ran earlier this week, it seemed only apt to take a brief closer look at the mytholinguistics of a 'Pale Horseman'. Particularly the 'Pale' bit. This is not to directly infer that the figure from the Book of Revelation … Continue reading An Indo-European Pale Horseman
The Indo-European Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
[Author's Note: We are, of course, aware that the Book of Revelation is not an Indo-European scriptural source. However, as can be seen in this fine art-work - this does not stop it from consciously drawing upon a veer-y Indo-European set of concepts. With that in mind, it seemed appropriate to pen a commentary bringing … Continue reading The Indo-European Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
The Indomitable Eye In The Sky – ‘Athena’ Unit Patch For US NRO Spy Satellite Launch
It is FRIDAY - Devi's Day. And therefore, a rather excellent unit patch by way of devotional (a)art(i). It belongs to another US National Reconnaissance Office spy satellite launch - the aptly named "INTRUDER" naval surveillance platform, the same series as the "ODIN" launch whose blazon I wrote about earlier. 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. This piece, in particular, … Continue reading Techno-Heraldry – Cloaked Crows And Electric Warfare

Ghora – Gorgos – Yggr – The Terrifying Face of Thunder
Ghora - Gorgos - Yggr Three names, Three faces, Three qualities .. That are actually one and the same. The Terrifying Face of the Sky Father; in Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Old Norse respectively. But what do they mean in each of their original contexts? And how can we tell that these are, indeed, the … Continue reading Ghora – Gorgos – Yggr – The Terrifying Face of Thunder
ON TECHNO-THEOLOGY PART TWO
Now here, too, we are dealing with spheres wherein change has already, or must inevitably occur. As applies the former, we can point quite directly to the Shatapatha Brahmana literature dealing with the Vedic metaphysics of sacrifice - and the allowable shift and progression which has taken place from various forms of live-animal offering, through … Continue reading ON TECHNO-THEOLOGY PART TWO
ON TECHNO-THEOLOGY PART ONE
Something I have been working a bit upon over the last few months, are questions of how technological advancement are to be squared with Indo-European mytho-religion. 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
The Corona Muralis of Cybele, Parvati Durga, Freyja Frigg Haglfaldini
It is Friday - Therefore, Devi Durga Devotional (A)Art(I); and, as has become my custom, a perhaps unexpected representation which helps us to illustrate something a little less well known about the Goddess. Now, something I genuinely love about our work is the manner in which the same Gods appear across the Indo-European-isphere - in … Continue reading The Corona Muralis of Cybele, Parvati Durga, Freyja Frigg Haglfaldini
Rumours Of Their Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
[Author's Note: This brief piece was initially penned in 2019. It is presented here without alteration; although we have expanded upon various points in articles written subsequent. The core point nevertheless remains a vitally important one. We occasionally get so caught up in localized historical developments which impact upon our own segment of the Indo-European-isphere, … Continue reading Rumours Of Their Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
