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

The Indo-European Bows Afore Divinity
And so, we came to it again. An enthusiastic assertion somewhere on social media that it was somehow un-Indo-European to bow to one's Gods, and much which is entailed with that. I say "we came to it again", because seriously - this seems to keep coming up, despite it being a very well attested fact … Continue reading The Indo-European Bows Afore Divinity
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]
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)
A Thunderbolt For The Sky Father – Amidst The Burning Branches Of Demon-Smiting Lightning
It seems the most logical, natural thing in the world - and certainly, we have amply attested acknowledgement for this in and about multiple Indo-European spheres. Yet somehow , the situation of the Thunderbolt has become something of a 'cudgel' with which some have sought to 'beat' deifics such as Odin and Shiva out of … Continue reading A Thunderbolt For The Sky Father – Amidst The Burning Branches Of Demon-Smiting Lightning
On The Three Rune Rows Of The Elder Futhark In Potential Vedic Light
A curious thought I have had this evening concerning the Three Ættir ['Clans', Sets / Rows] of the Elder Futhark. These are customarily divided based upon the first Rune in each - *Fehu , *Hagalaz, and *Tiwaz ; with these being further associated , as applies the first, with Freyr , and with some efforts … Continue reading On The Three Rune Rows Of The Elder Futhark In Potential Vedic Light
Rama’s Invocation Of The War-Goddess
It is Friday - Devi's Day And therefore - a Hero making offering to the Goddess, so as to ensure His Victory in the (more actively combative phase of the ongoing) War soon to come, where He shall vanquish the demon who has stolen His Wife. The Hero, of course, here is Lord Ram (the … Continue reading Rama’s Invocation Of The War-Goddess
Empowerment Unity – On The Essential Potency Of An Approach Both ‘Indo-‘ As Well As ‘-European’
There has recently been some argument on twitter about the necessity (or otherwise) of drawing from the still-living Indo-European religious spheres of the East, to aid and avail the ongoing resurrection efforts for the Indo-European religious spheres of the (European) West. As applies our thinking and envisioning upon this front, perhaps one such element may … Continue reading Empowerment Unity – On The Essential Potency Of An Approach Both ‘Indo-‘ As Well As ‘-European’
For Matariki – An Explication Of The Vedic Krttika (Pleiades) Constellation
Today is our first observance of Matariki - which, for our international readers, is a newly minted NZ public holiday for the rising of the Pleiades (Matariki being a Te Reo Māori name for the constellation, as well as for the beginning of the New Year which accompanies its ascent). Now, we are of course … Continue reading For Matariki – An Explication Of The Vedic Krttika (Pleiades) Constellation
On Ansuz As Spear-Rune
Recently, we had a brief interaction on twitter pertaining to the notion of 'Ansuz' as a 'Spear'. My interlocutor, a Scandinavian by the name of Sindri (@DrinksStupid), had asserted that the Tiwaz rune seemed much closer - and the Ansuz not at all. So, here's a slightly edited run-through of my remarks there upon the … Continue reading On Ansuz As Spear-Rune
