Scythian Tabiti In Her Indo-European Theological Context – [Part One: As To The Claims, An EmPyreical Investigation]
A few months ago, an associate raised with me a curious concept. Namely, the idea that a) the archaic Indo-European divinity of the Fire was Female, with this being attested via b) the Scythian figure of Tabiti identified with Hestia by Herodotus, and therefore indicating that c) the Vedic figure of Agni was an 'innovation' … Continue reading Scythian Tabiti In Her Indo-European Theological Context – [Part One: As To The Claims, An EmPyreical Investigation]
On Recent Happenings In Ayodhya – An Indo-European Perspective
Earlier, a Brahminical associate had asked if I'd be writing anything for today's occasion - that being the Investiture of the Murti (Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā - 'Breath-Installment') at the newly constructed Ram Mandir in the city of His Birth, Ayodhyah. To be honest, I hadn't entirely intended upon it - there are so many glowing tributes … Continue reading On Recent Happenings In Ayodhya – An Indo-European Perspective
GEBO-ANSUZ : A GIFT FOR THE GOD(S) [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Two]
An essential component to the Offering we had undertaken for the Goddess, Persephone - Kali, was the Weapons Sacrifice, carried out via Water. We have previously considered some of the specific characteristics to our own iteration of this - the result of the officiating Brahmin's remarkable flash of inspiration upon the subject. And I say … Continue reading GEBO-ANSUZ : A GIFT FOR THE GOD(S) [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Two]
The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali [Part One: The Return]
Ours is a glorious path. One which has set forth for the pious engagement with the ancient, the archaic, the ancestral … yet which has also undertaken to exist not merely within museums, but out amidst the modern world. Which does not, of course, mean that it ought be confused for something fundamentally "modern". And … Continue reading The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali [Part One: The Return]
The Kali Puja Contribution Of Our More Westerly Co-Religionists
Ten days ago - Nine Nights - Arya Akasha undertook a combined operation for Kali Puja. As the name for the occasion should appear to suggest, this was oriented toward the worship for Kali. And I have already shared some limited photography pertaining to the major 'fulcrum' Rite centered in a Smashana in West Bengal … Continue reading The Kali Puja Contribution Of Our More Westerly Co-Religionists
Combat Operations : MahaRudra Ascending ᛗᚱᚨ (Mannaz-Raidho-Ansuz)
On Monday - Shiva's Day - at the height of Shravan Maas (Shiva's Month), two weeks previous, we carried out something simultaneously both 'traditional' and 'ground-breaking'. An ancient Vedic rite - which, via the availment of both modern technology and innovative application of archaic theology & metaphysics - we were able to conduct on two … Continue reading Combat Operations : MahaRudra Ascending ᛗᚱᚨ (Mannaz-Raidho-Ansuz)
On The Simian Symbolic Representation Of Hanuman
We had recently been asked to weigh in on a rather recurrent matter of Hindu … well, iconography and understanding - namely, whether Hanuman is appropriate to depict as an 'ape' or 'monkey' style figure. The reasoning for this being at issue is that one can potentially interpret the name of Hanuman's clade, the Vanaras, … Continue reading On The Simian Symbolic Representation Of Hanuman
Rudra By Day, Rudra By Night – Countering Claims Of The Terrific God Being Somehow ‘Marginal’ Based Upon Spurious Vedic Non-Comprehension
Every so often, we run into some comment - whether on social media or in amidst academia - that is … useful, as a teachable moment for what not to do. And applicable in its general principle to a span far broader (and more persistent) than the individual exemplar that we'd run into. Often because … Continue reading Rudra By Day, Rudra By Night – Countering Claims Of The Terrific God Being Somehow ‘Marginal’ Based Upon Spurious Vedic Non-Comprehension
