For the past few weeks, we have been working on something a bit special. We call it Operation Jarjara - an exploration-and-exposition series focused upon the revelation of the modern Indo-European worship of Lord Indra. Now note that I said "revelation" - not "restoration". For despite what you may have heard, the Hindu religion never … Continue reading Operation Jarjara – The Worship Of Indra Amidst The Modern Age

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
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

A Stirring Extract From Sister Nivedita’s “Voice of the Mother” in “Kali The Mother”
"ARISE, My child, and go forth a man! Bear manfully what is thy lot to bear; that which comes to thy hand to be done, do with full strength and fear not.

A Brief Introduction To The Concept Of Combat Theology
Recently, we were asked what we meant by "Combat Theology". This is a brief (partial) explanation. A more in-depth exposition may be forthcoming. There's two elements to it - how we view what we do, and what it is that we actually do. The former part of it, I suppose, is a matter of perspective: … Continue reading A Brief Introduction To The Concept Of Combat Theology

COME HOME, INDO-EUROPEAN MAN – A Response To A Critic
As I predicted, my recent post showing British soldiers engaged in Hindu devotional practices alongside their Gurkha comrades, provoked some strong reactions. Most of which were positive, although one chap replied with a pretty negative comment that I think deserves the proper response. That being a comprehensive reply setting the issues he's raised to rest … Continue reading COME HOME, INDO-EUROPEAN MAN – A Response To A Critic
The Shooting Goddess Of Order And Growth – The War-Effort Of The Natural World [An Extract from ‘The Queen of Serpents – The Serpentine Figure Of The Indo-European Earth Mother’]
The term - and, indeed, theonym - in question is 'Hora', best known in its plural formulation - 'Horae' (from the same root as modern English 'Hour', 'Year', etc.). In Greek usage, this refers to a set of Goddesses Who both regulate the passing of the seasons and various elements of righteous conduct - in … Continue reading The Shooting Goddess Of Order And Growth – The War-Effort Of The Natural World [An Extract from ‘The Queen of Serpents – The Serpentine Figure Of The Indo-European Earth Mother’]
On The ‘Culture-Jamming’ Suppression Of Heritage Through Spurious Association-Allegations And Other Subversive Intents
Over the years, I have made an observational study of "culture-jamming". It's a remarkably effective strategy - whereby, if you are seeking to destroy something … a concept, a culture, a way of viewing the world … you don't just go around directly suppressing things. After all - the Streisand Effect being a thing, this … Continue reading On The ‘Culture-Jamming’ Suppression Of Heritage Through Spurious Association-Allegations And Other Subversive Intents
