To provide some measure of context: at the time, Bengal was significantly under Muslim (and, indeed, Afghan - Pathan) domination, in the form of the Bengal Sultanate. Tripura had been a vassal-state - although not long afore this incident had occurred, Tripura had begun to throw off the foreign yoke in earnest (and more upon … Continue reading The Sacrifice to the Fourteen Gods of Tripura of the Enemies of that State

Sacral Or Sacrificial ? Interrogating The Position Of The Cosmic Cow Within The Reconstructive Efforts Of The Proto-Indo-European Mythos
It is Wednesday - Woden's Day. And therefore, a particular exploration of a Myth most pertinent to He. That of Auðumbla - the Great Cow. More specifically, how this links to a speculative archaic Proto-Indo-European cosmogonical myth. Or, rather, how it doesn't link to the rather annoyingly pervasive very particular effort at a "reconstruction" I have in … Continue reading Sacral Or Sacrificial ? Interrogating The Position Of The Cosmic Cow Within The Reconstructive Efforts Of The Proto-Indo-European Mythos
Upon The Occasion Of Our Associate’s Pilgrimage To Offer To Athena The Parthenon At Nashville
It is occasionally said that what we do in the sphere of Indo-European religious revival is "Theoretical". It is. Yet it is also practical - it guides and informs praxis. And here is a heart-gladdening exemplar of our approach in tangible, resolute motion. This is the Parthenon in Nashville. More specifically, this is the Parthenon … Continue reading Upon The Occasion Of Our Associate’s Pilgrimage To Offer To Athena The Parthenon At Nashville
On Ongoing Memetic Annoyances Concerning The Canardic Conflation Of Dasas / Dasyus With The IVC And/Or ‘Dravidians’
Every. Dang. Time. Where to begin with this. Now we shall leave aside the words of Wikipedia (for the moment) and just go for the tweeter's intended sentiment. Which, going by some comments, would appear to be some sort of Indra contra Dasyu thing … as insistently misapprehended by some sorts on the internet to … Continue reading On Ongoing Memetic Annoyances Concerning The Canardic Conflation Of Dasas / Dasyus With The IVC And/Or ‘Dravidians’
The Spirits Of Ash And Fury – A RUDRAGANIKA Resonancy
It is Monday - Lord Rudra's Day - And therefore … absolutely amazing illustration by HC to further accompany our RUDRAGANIKA work looking at His Female Retinue. What we have hailed here as the Rudraganika we also find encounterable amidst the other and more westerly Indo-European spheres - as the Maenad (or the Meliae, etc.), … Continue reading The Spirits Of Ash And Fury – A RUDRAGANIKA Resonancy
A Nepali Vaishno Devi
Beautiful Murti of Vaishno Devi, from Nepal.[as posted by the excellent Kala Kshetram] Now, 'Vaishno Devi' is rather more well-known in the context of the expansive eponymous temple-complex to Her located in Jammu; indeed, a large photograph of that site adorns the backdrop to my own Mandir's Durga Shrine. However, there are other Vaishno Devi … Continue reading A Nepali Vaishno Devi

If you've just joined us ... a brief catch-up on The Story So Far. A few days ago, an associate asked about the relationship of the Goddess to the coronation of a King in comparative Indo-European terms.

Several, in … Continue reading On Wyrd Women Dwelling In Waters Handing Out Swords As The Supernal Basedness For A System Of Government – Part 2 – The Coronation Of The DemiGod King : Hercules, Indra-Varuna And Those Rendered Alike To Him
On Recent Criticism Of Our Divine Art – And Attendant Legal Threats Surmounted
I must say - this is the first time (that I can recall) that one of our posts has apparently attracted the threat of legal action, police enforcement, and imprisonment. But rather … unexpected dimension is not why I'm posting this cap here with commentary. Rather, I want to take a look at various of … Continue reading On Recent Criticism Of Our Divine Art – And Attendant Legal Threats Surmounted
On Wyrd Women Dwelling In Waters Handing Out Swords As The Supernal Basedness For A System Of Government – Part 1
Earlier in the week, an associate had asked for some further detail about the connexion between Goddess and Sovereignty, Coronation, and Kingship in Indo-European religion. It is something that at once sounds arcane and vaguely unfamiliar (perhaps in no small part because while many of us technically live under a Monarchy - at least, here … Continue reading On Wyrd Women Dwelling In Waters Handing Out Swords As The Supernal Basedness For A System Of Government – Part 1
