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 Brief Thought On What The Recent Rounds Of DNA Testing Indicate
A thought about all these DNA/ancestry tests that've been popular for awhile now. Now, it's tempting to just write the whole thing off as being a faddish portal to popular-genetics in a manner that's almost as fast-and-loose as Astrology or the Myers-Briggs personality assessments. You've got these gene-clusters, that means you've likely got X in … Continue reading A Brief Thought On What The Recent Rounds Of DNA Testing Indicate
Theology – The Indo-European Queen of the Sciences
"The Queen of the Sciences - Theology" Ernst Junger, Junger, writing in March of 1944, amidst the soon-to-be detritus of Nazi Germany, correctly identified that the necessary precondition for much of the unremitting horror of that part of the 20th century, had been the morally rudderless and (de)ontologically groundless, baseless, condition of materialism, scientism, which … Continue reading Theology – The Indo-European Queen of the Sciences
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
To Ride The Steppe Of Stars
So one of the more … unexpected-yet-then-falls-into-place concepts I've come up with in the course of my writing, is the "Steppe of Stars"; Literally up there with the "Sea of Stars"/"Seas of the Sun" 'Space Is An Ocean' typology - which also has a perhaps surprising Indo-European precedency, and which forms a patina far closer … Continue reading To Ride The Steppe Of Stars
An Immortality Of Stone And Storied Deeds – The Jatayu Colossus of Kerala
I have often maintained that India is a place wherein the past - and here, I mean the folk-memory inherent in Mythic recollections and retellings - is not merely 'remembered', nor 'commemorated' … but actively re-immanentized into the living present. This is one reason why it has still-living, still-vibrant Indo-European mytho-religious tradition. Now, what we … Continue reading An Immortality Of Stone And Storied Deeds – The Jatayu Colossus of Kerala
ON THE ELVES OF THE NORTH POLE
By now it should come as little surprise that much of the contemporary pseudo-mythology around Christmas is, in fact, based upon far older underpinnings - elements that have somehow 'seeped through' the veiling sheens not only of Christianity, but of Coca-Cola and McWorld. Some things, I would go so far as to say, are so … Continue reading ON THE ELVES OF THE NORTH POLE
On The Devaluation Of Relics And The Past
You ever notice how we've turned the term "Relic" from one of reverence into a pejorative? It's probably reflective of how many modern mindsets tend to regard the Past as not something to be learned from, or venerated, or indeed kept alive - but instead something to be abrogated, abjured ... brushed under the rug, and … Continue reading On The Devaluation Of Relics And The Past
Give Me Bhaga
This Is #GangSteppe - a trio of Scythians, circa the 4th century B.C. Now, what is going on here is the warrior to the right (the bare-chested chap equipped with the arrows and bow) is presenting the head of a slain foe (likely a Macedonian, going by the Vergina Sun emblem on the pauldron of … Continue reading Give Me Bhaga
Whether You Hear It Or Not – The Voice of the Divine Still Roars [A Prelude]
There is a quote of the great Carl Jung that I have been turning over, in ethos, in my mind for the past few days. Mostly because - and somewhat to my surprise - I happen to disagree with it utterly. And it turned up within my midst just as I was working upon further … Continue reading Whether You Hear It Or Not – The Voice of the Divine Still Roars [A Prelude]
