As applies Prometheus - everybody knows the main 'pop-culture' narrative. But what if there was an additional reason that Prometheus deserved the outcome - and for Prometheus to have wanted to interfere with setting down the formulaic metaphysics of sacrifice to begin with… Now, here is the key detail - a fragment transmitted via Hesychius … Continue reading Prometheus & Ithax, Saboteur of Sacrifice – Part One: The Emissary of the Anti-Divine

TRI-LOKA : The Three Worlds Of Indo-European Cosmology – Part Four: Amidst The Glorious & Ancestral Dead
Now as something of a 'check and confirm' upon all of this (Parts III, II, & I), it should prove useful to return towards the Nordic cosmological schema. Wherein, as applies the destination(s) of the Glorious and Ancestral Dead - we once again observe what should decidedly seem to be 'Uppland' situations: Valhalla should certainly … Continue reading TRI-LOKA : The Three Worlds Of Indo-European Cosmology – Part Four: Amidst The Glorious & Ancestral Dead
Roman Rudra Tripurantaka [Arya Akasha Arka]
It is Monday - Rudra's Day And therefore, in brief, the Roman correlate for Rudra as Tripurantaka, the Destroyer of the Three Forts. We have previously demonstrated the situation of Vejovis / Vediovis as, effectively, Baleful Jove ('malus Iovis', per Mythographi Vaticani III 6 1), a wrathful 'Facing' for Jupiter (the Sky Father, Dyaus Pitar); … Continue reading Roman Rudra Tripurantaka [Arya Akasha Arka]
On An Oft-Misinterpreted Term Of Power Affixed To ‘Man’
Something I found kinda nice - Ait. Br. III 34, from a suite of Roudran undertaking (hence why the cautionary note about what to do "should this verse appear to be too dangerous") - referencing / explicating how to utilize RV I 43 6 - notes that there's a pair of terms, 'Naraḥ' & 'Nāryaḥ', … Continue reading On An Oft-Misinterpreted Term Of Power Affixed To ‘Man’
Tveggi – Dyaus Dualis [Part I]
The Indo-European Sky Father is a God of Masques. Many of these are, upon the surface, quite clearly culturally specific - panoplies best-befitting for a particular Indo-European people's individuated circumstances, environs, and heritage. Yet when considered in constellation alongside their correlate co-expressions amidst other Indo-European groups, potent underpinning patternings often begin to shine through. In … Continue reading Tveggi – Dyaus Dualis [Part I]
Thor Lives! – The True Outcome Of Thor Contra Jormungandr , Illuminated Via Indra’s Exile
Earlier yesterday evening I happened to the capped/linked post from a twitter handle - "Christians Posting Ws" - which bore the legend "Thor : Dies from serpent poison", with direct comparison to Christ in a manner that you can probably surmise. And I feel it worthy of comment. Not because of the usual "Pagan-Christian animosity" … Continue reading Thor Lives! – The True Outcome Of Thor Contra Jormungandr , Illuminated Via Indra’s Exile
Divine Play – The Unfurling Mythic Universe As Wargame And Drama In Nordic And Hindu Perception
As we move toward the close of 2021, there's something I feel is relevant to share. It uses the Binding of Fenrir as a framing device, but has a far broader saliency. And far more personal relevance and application. I've had a rather … difficult - indeed, downright tempestuous, in some respects - last few … Continue reading Divine Play – The Unfurling Mythic Universe As Wargame And Drama In Nordic And Hindu Perception
