I've seen this RigVedic verse - RV X 96 8 - come up several times in the past few weeks; quoted (in English only) by persons seemingly looking to assert that Indra was purportedly in possession of both hair and beard of blond, in the manner of some rather particular stereotype of Northern European (or, … Continue reading The ‘Golden Hair’ Of Indra – The Reality To An Oft-Cited RigVedic Verse

Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Two: Irrigating The Worlds With Blood-Dimmed Tide]
As you can see there from the title, our intent with these linked pieces has been to take a look at one of the more foundational questions to the Indo-European theology. Namely, why it is that we carry out rites of sacrifice and offering to the Gods in the first place. I suspect that for … Continue reading Why We Offer To The Gods [Part Two: Irrigating The Worlds With Blood-Dimmed Tide]
Arachne Contra Minerva Contra Modern Misotheism – The Tapestry Of Falsehood Torn Through !
Some days ago I had run into a rather … bemusing take on twitter (where else), which had sought to insist that "in Western myths, Gods are self-centered and egotistical, willing to punish you or even put a curse on you and get away with anything." Now, there are … several things one might say … Continue reading Arachne Contra Minerva Contra Modern Misotheism – The Tapestry Of Falsehood Torn Through !
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
The Glorious Re-Ascent Of Rudra-Odin
I had posted the scriptural excerpt above (as translated by Manasataramgini) with the accompanying brief comment, for Kaal Bhairava Jayanti last year. With it having been upon a Tuesday Night this time around - and therefore, a Wednesday Morning Dawn … it seems perhaps apt to contemplate an evident Germanic correlate for the mythic occurance … Continue reading The Glorious Re-Ascent Of Rudra-Odin
For Juno Sospita
The First of February is, so I have just heard, the anniversary of the dedication of the Palatine Temple of Juno Sospita ['The Savioress'] in Rome. We find this prominently mentioned in Ovid's Fasti (II 55-66): "At the start of the month [of February] they say that Juno the Saviour (Sospita),Neighbouring the Phrygian Mother, was … Continue reading For Juno Sospita
On Indo-European Solar Warfare – The Sura Army of the Sun
Earlier this week we marked the Solstice - Summer, if you're here in the Southern Hemisphere, Winter if you're in the Northern. It therefore seemed an apt occasion to post this exquisite art - illustrating the Army of the Sun God setting a host of demons to flight. Now, the nature of this conflict is … Continue reading On Indo-European Solar Warfare – The Sura Army of the Sun

The following comprises our third excerpt from the rather impressively aegis'd On The Wolves Of Rudra – The Terrific, Well-Storied Wolves And Wolf Forms Of The Indo-European Sky Father we had written earlier this year. The first two excerpts - looking at both Apollo Lykeios and the Wolf That Stalks The Stars - can be … Continue reading De Natura Lupōrum – The ‘Temple Wolf’, The Custodes of the Holy Ground; The Guardian Typology of the Wolf-Born Lord of the Bow [ Excerpt III From ‘ On The Wolves Of Rudra – The Terrific, Well-Storied Wolves And Wolf Forms Of The Indo-European Sky Father ‘]
On Strengthening The Gods Through Pious Action – The Indo-European View
We were asked to weigh in on this tweet by The_Hellenist … and the ensuing controversy it's kicked up on Twitter. So … here goes: Simple answer is: "Kinda"In relative terms to the Divine and the immanency / saliency of Cosmic Order (Rta, Orlog) , at any rate. You can see this in the Nordic … Continue reading On Strengthening The Gods Through Pious Action – The Indo-European View
A God-Fearing People – Against The Pretension That One Ought Not Perhaps Fear An Indo-European God
We had recently seen a claim from a prominent American witch that seemed to suggest it was improper to have "fear" of Gods. As they put it: "Not really something considered to be a healthy trait in a relationship - divine or otherwise." We could say quite a bit about this, but let's just stick … Continue reading A God-Fearing People – Against The Pretension That One Ought Not Perhaps Fear An Indo-European God
