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

Glorious Art Of The One Eyed God For Wednesday – Rudra
It is Wednesday ! Woden's Day ! And therefore … art of a One Eyed God (and His Wife) Now, of course, it becomes immediately apparent that this is Shaivite art - and so some might ask what I mean by this here. After all, whilst Rudra is Odin … Lord Shiva is also so … Continue reading Glorious Art Of The One Eyed God For Wednesday – Rudra
Arktos, Ursa, Rksa SaptaRsi – The Seven Bear-Seers Amidst The Stars And The Foundational Act Of Piety Of The Maidens Of Milk And Fate
Encoded within the Stars - and more specifically, the Constellations, the manner in which we project out up, upon them - is a wealth of archaic mythic meaning. We have earlier looked at some of these manifestations as applies Orion and the Pleiades (Krittikas) - now we shall turn our attentions briefly to an intricately … Continue reading Arktos, Ursa, Rksa SaptaRsi – The Seven Bear-Seers Amidst The Stars And The Foundational Act Of Piety Of The Maidens Of Milk And Fate
On Indo-European Divine Inspiration – And The Zoroastrian Persecutory Suppression Of Same
Frequently when the subject of the Zoroastrian inversion of Indo-European religious belief is brought up, people presume that it is 'just' some form of linguistic confusion - a 'reversal of polarity' afflicting only an incredibly limited array of things. 'Deva' ['Deus', '-Tyr', etc. - 'God', 'Shining One'] becoming 'Daeva' ['Demon'], for example; and if they … Continue reading On Indo-European Divine Inspiration – And The Zoroastrian Persecutory Suppression Of Same
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
The Transcendent Indo-European Typology Of The God Of Masks – The Sky Father Dances On [ On The Indo-European ‘Interpretatio’ Of Dionysus Part Dieux ]
In my previous piece upon the subject, I asserted that Dionysus is a facing of the Indo-European Sky Father; and sought to illustrate this via the illumination of a range of connections of Dionysus to a range of figures from the broad Indo-European mythology - both Greek and of further afield. This article shall go … Continue reading The Transcendent Indo-European Typology Of The God Of Masks – The Sky Father Dances On [ On The Indo-European ‘Interpretatio’ Of Dionysus Part Dieux ]
Furor Teutonicus And Furor Poeticus – The Furious Goddess-Given Power Of Both Barbarian And Brahmin Alike
Something I have long advocated, is that the two forms of 'Furor' spoken about - "Furor Teutonicus" ('Germanic Fury' - Berserk Battle-Rage) and "Furor Poeticus" (The 'Fury of the Poet' - Artistic Inspiration of a certain all-consuming caliber) are, in essence, the same quality. Just differently expressed. On the surface, this can sound curious. After … Continue reading Furor Teutonicus And Furor Poeticus – The Furious Goddess-Given Power Of Both Barbarian And Brahmin Alike
Whether You Hear It Or Not – The Voice of the Divine Still Roars [A Prelude]
There is a quote of the great Carl Jung that I have been turning over, in ethos, in my mind for the past few days. Mostly because - and somewhat to my surprise - I happen to disagree with it utterly. And it turned up within my midst just as I was working upon further … Continue reading Whether You Hear It Or Not – The Voice of the Divine Still Roars [A Prelude]
