It's been awhile since I attempted to do a … relatively succinct 'synopsis' run-through of Shiva, Odin comparanda (viz. the Indo-European Sky Father deific complex); and so, most of my reply to this gentleman's good-natured inquiry upon the subject. I really should actually sit down and i) more actively integrate the Zeus / Jupiter elements … Continue reading A Brief (Further) Shiva – Odin Synopsis

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
Asura Aesir A’Sura
There can be few terms which have caused more confusion and misaligned conflation within the realms of the comparative Indo-European theology than 'Asura', 'Aesir', and 'A'Sura'.

That is to … Continue reading Asura Aesir A’Sura
On Indo-European Solar Warfare – An Over-View
This week just gone marked Diwali (Deepavali) - the rather aptly translated 'Festival of Lights'. Which, as seemingly every once-over-lightly-for-a-Western-audience writeup seeks to swiftly remind us, exalts the 'Victory of Light over Darkness". It's a simple enough concept - and has near-infinite potential saliency (c.f., for instance the Solar Eclipse occurring in Svati immediately the … Continue reading On Indo-European Solar Warfare – An Over-View

द्यौस; देवा, देउस , टिर : बहुल देवता, एक द्यौस पिता हमारे पौराणिक साहित्य में इन्डो-यूरोपियन परम्पराओंके पूजनीय द्यौस पिता की मुख्यता के बावजूद उनके देवत्व को ठीक से समझा नहीं जाता। आप अन्य लोगों को उनके बारे में कई बेतुकि बातें एवं झूठी निन्दा करते हुए पाएंगे। उन झूठो में सबसे सामान्य यह कि … Continue reading द्यौस; देवा, देउस , टिर : बहुल देवता, एक द्यौस पिता
Subsequent Comments On Sky Father Theonymy – The Baltic And Luwian Situations Briefly Considered
One of the more … frequently referred to articles we've got up upon the site is the piece discussing that lamentably frequently recurrent claim about Tyr somehow being the 'original' Germanic Sky Father, displaced subsequently by Odin. You can take a read of that here: https://aryaakasha.com/2020/07/22/dyaus-deva-deus-tyr-many-gods-one-sky-father/ Now, a few days ago we had a comment … Continue reading Subsequent Comments On Sky Father Theonymy – The Baltic And Luwian Situations Briefly Considered
On Why Gods Are Gods – A Response To A Question
Earlier this evening, I was asked to contribute my thoughts on a frequently occurrent question - "What makes a God a God?" Now in this day and age of ever-shifting meanings and the relativism that enables the worship of literal out-and-out demons or flawed mortal would-be 'messiahs' in personality-cults across the land, it is a … Continue reading On Why Gods Are Gods – A Response To A Question
