The ShivLing – A Guide To The Cosmos [ Glorious Modern Hindu Art (of) Post For MahaShivRatri ]
Another favourite Shaivite work of (A)Art-i for #MahaShivRatri - this depicts a ShivLing , which we might succinctly describe as a Shaivite Altar, although which has as its essence both the Axis Mundi of the universe entire and the Sthambha - the Sacrificial Post - of the Vedic religion. It is closely correlate with the … Continue reading The ShivLing – A Guide To The Cosmos [ Glorious Modern Hindu Art (of) Post For MahaShivRatri ]
Techno-Theology For MahaShivRatri – An Exegesis Of A Psytrance Track
I wrote what follows just under four years ago - so our understandings have, of course, grown quite significantly in the interim. As it is #MahaShivRatri - and as Shiva is, of course, Nataraja ['Lord of the Dance'] … it seemed fittingly appropriate to post the exegesis of the samples used in this psytrance track. … Continue reading Techno-Theology For MahaShivRatri – An Exegesis Of A Psytrance Track

Of Moon And Moon-Day – A Brief Look At The Interpretatio Romana Of Monday In Indo-European Traditions
It is Monday [Moon-Day], known in Greek as Hemera Selenes, Latin as Dies Lunae, and in various Indian languages it is likewise Chandra's Day, or Soma's Day, or Indu's Day [and more on that in a moment].

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 Valaskjalf, Hlidskjalf, Paramevyoman: The Golden Throne And The Indo-European Solar Realm Of The Glorious/Ancestral Dead – The Indo-European Cosmology – A Brief Guided Tour: Part Dieux
As we have often maintained, the 'Vedic' and 'Eddic' Indo-European mythologic canons fit together exceptionally well.

Kaal Hades Erebus – A Brief Look At The Darkening Veil Betwixt Light And Life, Darkness And Death – The Solar Underworld Covered
Something I love about our field is the manner in which the linguistics - the etymology - facilitates the proper understanding and construal of meaning. This is occasionally derided as being the supplanting of serious theology via etymology … but with this I do not agree. At most, it is the supplementation - and as … Continue reading Kaal Hades Erebus – A Brief Look At The Darkening Veil Betwixt Light And Life, Darkness And Death – The Solar Underworld Covered
On Odin As Agni
Part One: Kindling The Flame In a number of my previous works now, I have established the fundamental equation of the Odin of the Eddic mythology with the Shiva of the Vedic sphere.
