To begin as we had earlier intended to continue - there exists a recurrent occurrence within the Indo-European both mythology and ritual praxis for the immersion of the Goddess figure. This comes in several semi-overlapping expressions, contingent upon the local requirements and developments for their mythology. For instance - we in the Hindusphere know of … Continue reading The Cyan Paṭh To Tartarus Via Way Of Kashmir [The Indo-European Propitiation Of Persephone-Kali – Part Three]

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]
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
Sharada NavRatri – And The War Rites Of The Indo-Europeans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atPk8JoJ138 It's currently Sharada NavRatri for we Hindus (the Nine Nights of the Goddess Durga , Chandika / Chamunda ) - and so therefore, a look at the observance in light of its Indo-European context. This includes the correlate Goddess-oriented War Rites undertaken by both the Romans (in the form of the Quinquatria dedicated to … Continue reading Sharada NavRatri – And The War Rites Of The Indo-Europeans
On Ritual Substitution And Traditional Offerings [Part Two: When In Rome…]
Practicing an Indo-European religion amidst the Modern Age is no easy thing. One seems endlessly caught between the twin considerations of 'Authenticity' contrasted with 'Accessibility'. The former correlates to the quite righteous desire to 'do things properly' (and so they actually work) - customarily by seeking to follow reasonably closely within the foot-tracks of one's … Continue reading On Ritual Substitution And Traditional Offerings [Part Two: When In Rome…]
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)

Shravana , Ganymede , Gayatri , Shyena – And Other Points Of Syzygy Within Vedic And Classical Myth And Star-Lore
With the Shaivite Holy Month of Shravan Maas in full (indeed, double!) swing, it seems apt to detail a potentially remarkable Indo-European concordancy between the Nakshatra (Asterism) of Śravaṇa (aka Śroṇa ) and the Hellenic perception of same. Depicted upon this star-chart (sourced from Manasataramgini) is the constellation of Aquila in Western / Hellenic terms. … Continue reading Shravana , Ganymede , Gayatri , Shyena – And Other Points Of Syzygy Within Vedic And Classical Myth And Star-Lore
On The Sky Father As Dragon Destroyer
Something we have often had cause to make reference to is the fact that this most prominent of Indo-European mythemes, the Smiting of the Demon-Dragon, is NOT exclusive in commissioning to the Striker/Thunderer deific. But is, rather, a case of 'Like Father - Like Son'. As with, perhaps uncoincidentally, the wielding of Thunder in various … Continue reading On The Sky Father As Dragon Destroyer
On Several Roudran Theonymics
Right so I got bored being unproductive. So here's an excerpt that I excised out of a work I'm currently producing, because it was too much of a digression. Main area of interest for most will be the progression of theonymics from a sector of the Sri Rudram. Jai Sri Rudra "Indeed, whilst not a … Continue reading On Several Roudran Theonymics
