Earlier, an associate, ᛊᚺᛟᚾᚨᚾ ᛏᚨᛚᛈᚨᛞᛖ had written of the vital engagement between Kakabhushundi (the Crow-Sage : काक / kāka being 'Crow') and the young Lord Rama which occurs at Ayodhya. Now, this reminded me of a certain suite of detailing from the Rígsþula (which, effectively, sets out a Nordic/Germanic caste schema) wherein 'Young Konr' ['Konr … Continue reading The Vital Words Of The Crow-Sage

Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [Excerpt Two from ‘Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed’ – The Surging Power Of The Dragon’s Force – With Head Uplifted Like A Serpent, Rearing To Strike]
II - The Surging Power Of The Dragon's Force - With Head Uplifted Like A Serpent, Rearing To Strike We have long observed (and here, I mean this also in reference to the rather lengthy digression discussing and attesting this that I have excised from this point in the piece … ) that there is … Continue reading Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [Excerpt Two from ‘Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed’ – The Surging Power Of The Dragon’s Force – With Head Uplifted Like A Serpent, Rearing To Strike]
Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [Excerpt One from ‘Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed’ – ‘Flashing, His Eyes, The Young Serpent’s Shone’ – On The Dragon-Gazed Lineage of Odin]
I - 'Flashing, His Eyes, The Young Serpent's Shone' - On The Dragon-Gazed Lineage of Odin The Rigsthula describes one of the characteristics to the infant Jarl (that is to say - the archetypal member of the aristocratic caste amidst the Germanics) thusly: “ötul váru augu sem yrmlingi” What does this mean? "Flaring / Piercing … Continue reading Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [Excerpt One from ‘Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed’ – ‘Flashing, His Eyes, The Young Serpent’s Shone’ – On The Dragon-Gazed Lineage of Odin]
Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [ Part One – Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed ]
Recently, we had marked MahaShivRatri - the Great Night of Shiva. And therefore, as has become our custom, we present a devotional tribute (A)Arti-cle. An effort that is, at once, intended to explore a facet of Him (as the Hindu Shiva) - and yet also cast a broader illumination upon that same dimension in relation … Continue reading Dyaus Draconis – The Dread Dragon Forms of the Indo-European Sky Father [ Part One – Of Grave Wolves And Flashing Eyes : The Odinic Ophidian Observed ]
Of Wolf And Dragon
Recently, we ran a piece which looked at a perhaps surprising 'transition' within the Nordic mythos - namely, how the Fenris Wolf appeared plausibly to be a 'carrying forward' of what is otherwise a Serpentine or Draconic adversary confronted by the Sky Father deific in other Indo-European perspectives. Now, that's … quite a surprising thing … Continue reading Of Wolf And Dragon
The Crows Of Kali
For Kali Jayanti - a Crow. Now, of course, I am indulging myself here by presenting a Crow as Devotee to Her … yet there is actually a comparatively little-known suite of resonant conceptry for the Corvid in relation to Kali. She is, after all, Kakamukhi - The Crow-Faced One. This is as we should … Continue reading The Crows Of Kali
The Birds Of The Sky Father
If you asked somebody what Birds they'd associate with Odin, the answer would be very simple. Ravens. Corvids. Crows. And yet while that's absolutely correct - it's also rather incomplete. For you see, there's an entire suite of avians either directly or potentially associated with Odin - and which happen to work out rather strongly commensurate … Continue reading The Birds Of The Sky Father
On Erilaz – Runecarver ?
Something I have been intending to take a look at for some time is the meaning of 'Erilaz'. It is a controversial term. Why? Because its etymology and derivations are that of the warrior-aristocracy - 'Jarl', 'Earl'; and yet if we look at its archaic attestations in various Runic inscriptions, it appears almost as if … Continue reading On Erilaz – Runecarver ?
The Sea Horse Of Sovereignty – On Hellenic Poseidon , Vedic Varuna, Scythian Thagimasidas , And The Essential Equine Elevator-Empowerer Of The Ancient Indo-European King
Something that has long puzzled commentators is the strong association of the Greek figure of Poseidon with the Horse. This is incredibly prominent within the Poseidonic mythology - the form taken by Poseidon in His pursuit of Demeter Erinyes, for instance, or that of the Son born to that union, Arion (The Pegasus, likewise, is … Continue reading The Sea Horse Of Sovereignty – On Hellenic Poseidon , Vedic Varuna, Scythian Thagimasidas , And The Essential Equine Elevator-Empowerer Of The Ancient Indo-European King
On The Crown Of Crows And The Regality Of Ravens – A Restoration And Re-Explication Of Their Incredible Indo-European Symbolic Saliency
One of the most misunderstood creatures in the Indo-European mythic conceptual syllabry has to be the Corvid - the Crow , the Raven (and I must admit that I am biased upon this score - for it is an important part of my own name and therefore nature). For if you asked many just what they … Continue reading On The Crown Of Crows And The Regality Of Ravens – A Restoration And Re-Explication Of Their Incredible Indo-European Symbolic Saliency
