ভগবান জোল। …এবং ভগবান -জোলনির / জোলফদর এখন, এটি কিছুটা অর্থহীন পূরনাবৃত্তি ,কারণ আমরা দেখতে পাই যে জোলন (Jóln) শব্দটি নিজেই দেবতাদের অর্থে ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে। যদি অনুমান করা হয় যে জোলন বা জোল শব্দের জন্য একটি অনুমানভিত্তিক প্রোটো-ইন্দো-ইউরোপীয় বুৎপত্তি (PIE:*Yek)) সঠিক - যার অর্থ উচ্চারণ করা, বা একটি প্রদর্শনী প্রদর্শন করা… তাহলে এটি দেবতা শব্দের … Continue reading ভগবান ইউল (Yule), ভগবান জোল (Jól) এবং জোলের (Jöl) দেবতা

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]
The Indo-European Divine Rite Of The Covenant In Vafþrúðnismál ? Some Preliminary Notes
Because it's been awhile since I put out properly finished content - here's what you might consider some 'working notes'. Basically, a slightly edited version of a reply I'd put together for two gentlemen in discussion of a particular pair of verses from the Vafþrúðnismál, which upon the surface would appear to quite considerably resonate with my contemplations … Continue reading The Indo-European Divine Rite Of The Covenant In Vafþrúðnismál ? Some Preliminary Notes
Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Three: I Bring The Fire]
In our previous installments, we had sought to extoll two key elements. For the first - some brief textual attestations of Roman and Vedic provenance for the concept of the Gods being actively supported ("subsist[ing]", as one translated section had it) through our offerings to Them through the proper rites. Which is, of course, a … Continue reading Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Three: I Bring The Fire]
On The Symbolism Of The Gigantes & Gigantomachy [Part One: He Shall Tread]
We had earlier received a question as to the iconography of the Gigantes of Classical myth - more specifically, what was up with the Serpents they so prominently feature instead of legs in an array of renderings. And, because it's a very, very cool illustration for the concept - here's a beautiful 2nd-3rd Century (BC) … Continue reading On The Symbolism Of The Gigantes & Gigantomachy [Part One: He Shall Tread]
Dawn & Dyaus
I'd recently been tagged in a post commenting upon the (Proto-)Indo-European Dawn Goddess [said deific underpinning the Hellenic figure of Eos - beautifully rendered here by Yliade], which had borne the following line: "She was probably the child of the Dyēus Phter, the Sky-Father ." And, me being me, this precipitated a rather … extended … Continue reading Dawn & Dyaus
On Algiz, Alcis, Ullr, The Germanic Iteration Of Indo-European Sacred Space, And Its Dread Protector
The following was initially an exploration for what I consider to be the likely meaning for the Rune *Algiz ᛉ (beautifully illustrated there by 'Automatic Moon'), featuring discussion also upon the theology for Ullr. It then … grew rather significantly - and now seems to feature a rather expansive hypothesis viz. a 'working model' for … Continue reading On Algiz, Alcis, Ullr, The Germanic Iteration Of Indo-European Sacred Space, And Its Dread Protector
Further Points Upon The ‘Refraction’ Of The Sky Father – With Particular Emphasis Upon Zeus, Hades, Poseidon
I should clarify that I'm not posting this with an intent of having a go at the gentleman who'd raised the counterclaim (hence, in part, why I've anonymized his comment in the cap below) - but rather, because various of the elements in my reply might be of a broader interest (the situation as to … Continue reading Further Points Upon The ‘Refraction’ Of The Sky Father – With Particular Emphasis Upon Zeus, Hades, Poseidon
On Disregarding The Puranic Era Mythos When Seeking To Make Sense Of The (Proto-)Indo-European
Predictably, this lead to a rant. "Just that it’s not useful to use the Puranic canon for Indo-European reconstruction because they’re centuries separated from the original mythos." This is also significantly incorrect. I suppose I should explain. Consider the situation surrounding the famed progeny of Surya & Saranyu/Chhaya. Indeed, that whole myth all up. It … Continue reading On Disregarding The Puranic Era Mythos When Seeking To Make Sense Of The (Proto-)Indo-European
On The Equinox War-Rites Of The Indo-Europeans – As Illuminating The Roman Quinquatria [Part One – The Goddess-Oriented War Rites Introduced]
The Spring Equinox approaches (at least, at time of writing; some weeks have passed since then) - and with it, the onset of the War Season of the archaic Indo-Europeans. Whether the Quinquatrus and Tubilustrium of the Romans, situated within their Month of Mars (mensis Martius - whence our modern name for it: 'March'); the … Continue reading On The Equinox War-Rites Of The Indo-Europeans – As Illuminating The Roman Quinquatria [Part One – The Goddess-Oriented War Rites Introduced]
