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

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'. Many people coming in from the Germanic sphere presume that because they understand 'Aesir' - that Vedic 'Asura', as a linguistic cognate, should mean effectively the same thing. That is to … Continue reading Asura Aesir A’Sura
A Morning Meditation On A Gaelic Prayer [Techno-Theology]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXRRsK_bH0 How I'm choosing to wake up this morning. And, if it were a bit earlier, the neighbours as well. Now, I'd had this [rework of a] track in my head for a few evenings earlier this year, and I'd finally decided to sit down and actually properly analyze the lyricism utilized. Because it seemed … Continue reading A Morning Meditation On A Gaelic Prayer [Techno-Theology]
The Divine Alexander of the One Eye in Odinic Sweden
There are two things going on here. Now, what this was intended as, so I am told, is a Roman cavalryman's mask … in the likeness of Alexander the Great. However, it was found in Sweden, and appears to have been hung up from a post, with one of the eyes removed. A One-Eyed figure, … Continue reading The Divine Alexander of the One Eye in Odinic Sweden
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
A Tiwaz For Tuesday
It is TUESDAY - so therefore, some perhaps slightly unexpected rune-lore on the Tiwaz rune, extracted from my recent piece on the Krtikka 'Six Swords of the Stars' Bindrune asterism I had carved; which had taken three Tiwaz runes as its basic construction. " Something which also fits rather well with the Tiwaz shape given … Continue reading A Tiwaz For Tuesday
Krttika – The Six Swords of the Stars
An asterism of Bindrunes - 'Krittika'. Which I've constructed from ᚲ ᚱ ᛏ ᛏ ᚲ ᚨ (Kaunan, Raidho, Tiwaz Tiwaz, Kaunan, Ansuz); and which, well, it represents something rather important. Particularly for a certain 'Sword' of 'Divine Design' out there. 'Krttika' in Sanskrit means 'The Cutter' - and The Krttikas (plural) refer to the Pleiades. … Continue reading Krttika – The Six Swords of the Stars
Dyaus; Deva, Deus, Tyr: Many Gods, One Sky Father
Despite His centrality to our mythology, the Indo-European Sky Father is probably one of the most misunderstood Gods of our pantheon(s). You will semi-regularly hear people make all manner of outlandish claims about Him. The most common of which tend to be either that the Sky Father 'withered away' and was superceded by another God or … Continue reading Dyaus; Deva, Deus, Tyr: Many Gods, One Sky Father
The Radiant Queen of the Heavens – On Scythian Tabiti As Template For The Greater Indo-European Solar Goddess [Part 4 – The Moon, Mirrored, And Her Daughters]
A further support for the 'inversion' possibility is granted via looking at the actual mythology of the main Greek figure - Selene. As aforementioned, Selene is usually identified as one of the Daughters of Hyperion and Theia, although with two other possibilities which occasionally come up - the paternity of Pallas (a name that does … Continue reading The Radiant Queen of the Heavens – On Scythian Tabiti As Template For The Greater Indo-European Solar Goddess [Part 4 – The Moon, Mirrored, And Her Daughters]
