The Barbarian Clergyman

Reading things about Rastafarianism and their scriptures, if you will, feels like holding a Bible, dousing yourself in KFC grease, walking into the ghettos of Chicago, gaining some Crips for friends in some obscure heavenly notion of brotherhood, singing along to music from Sister Act, then getting to Heaven with the taste of watermelon in your mouth.

Amen, Dawg

A Suspicious Conversion

King Redwald of East Anglia was an English monarch during the Middle Ages. For most people, he remains an obscure historic leader. He died in 624 CE after he began his rule earlier in 599.

Although, something is interesting concerning his religious background.

Secret Suffolk states the following:
"He converted to Christianity in 604, but only in part. Within his personal temple was set up one altar to Christ, and another to his preferred pagan deity – most likely Woden – upon which sacrifices were made. For polytheistic pagans, this worship of multiple deities was perfectly normal, but no doubt deeply frustrating for the Christian mission."

The site rests in Rendlesham, Suffolk of the UK.

Immediately, there are 2 questions we can ask and explore:
1] If Redwald did convert, but did not abandon his original Heathen way, is it possible he syncretized both religions into a form of worship he could have called his own?
2] Did Redwald fake the conversion's theatrics just to gain credibility only for publicity sake--and was he still true to the old way in his heart?

Discourse over this matter appears rather lacking. But it is very compelling.

We can speculate: quite a shame we cannot confirm which was the case.

To get closer to Nature and the Gods, rapid technological advancement must be decelerated. A machine is inferior to the Man who is its master and owner.

A Financial Imperative for
Pagan Nationalism

It goes without saying: loans and moneylending are serious business. Everyone wants their cake and to eat it too.

There's a massive problem within our legal frameworks concerning money and how it can be lent, charged interest, and then recovered at an amount many times over than what there was originally. In fact, almost nobody even talks about it, or knows its troublesome nature.

This easily opens the door to usury, an act which is hardly even caught, let alone prosecuted. Usury, according to Dictionary.com, means, "the lending or practice of lending money at an exorbitant interest" and "an exorbitant amount or rate of interest, especially in excess of the legal rate". This is a lawful thing that happens in both the private and public sector, in virtually all countries today.

Which, this brings us to the main point of this subject. To a Pagan, honor always supersedes money. The Heathen state ought to reflect this straightforwardly.

Usury must be completely abolished.

Cornelius Tacitus, in his famous work, Germania, observed the following:
"The practice of usury and compound interest is simply unknown. Ignorance here is a surer defence than any ban."

Not only did Teutonic Pagan society not allow usury--they didn't even know what it was. The people would have regarded it as an alien notion unfit or unrelatable to their own laws and customs. This does not mean loaning money never happened or was prohibited, but that, to settle disputes, to offer repayment, or to commit an investment, one's word and deeds came before money which was a secondary medium in the process of economic mediation.

Eliminating usury from the state also means reducing significant corruption, especially since it is a hard crime to prove someone has done. A righteous state takes the matter extremely seriously and fails not to overlook it.

We need to push this issue to the forefront of our political movements.

Lend wisely, charge humbly.

Do not be so eager and willing to die for your beliefs that you forget how to live by them.

In a world with our societies so scared of minor transgressions and its members so eagerly hellbent to call us "political extremists", it's fascinating, given the fact that those who are calling us extremist and "radicalized" are the same ones advocating for the extremest of positions and policies. And they expect us to follow them obediently.

It works wonders beyond stupefaction: how we have been able to get to this point in all of human history.

Pagan Gnosticism (4): Latenight Watchman

I call upon the name of the watchman who resides by the vast open bodies of meres and lakes. His gaze, we behold. The farest of ladies in him who they like. Our shadowy lord, O Rekwaliwa, we shall yearn for your homecoming.

He is the starkness within gray hues; out of him, come many whispers. Most fare him so well, and he to them, likewise. So he treads along, sending mild disturbances, at the edges which border waters.

He is the water, the freshness within it, fare to all and all to fare. O Rekwaliwa, replenish us with these liquids. Your time to awaken again has arrived.

For me, "Asatru" is less about who you are, and more about the condition of the term's meaning. Some people's Asatru (faithfulness to the Aesir) is at a blistering height, whereas others are still majorly divided from them and their noble status. In the beginning I liked the word Asatru, but now, "Heathen" and "Wotanist" better describe who I am and what kind of worldview I have.

The fact that constructing a hof (temple) in a small urban country town gets more controversy and outrage from the people than the pornography industry just existing says too much about what kind of society we have shown to desire.

When I write, I often can only think that I am offering spilled ink as a constant rite on behalf of Bragi, the shining-white master poet, the gracious worker of good, the blessed reborn martyr of the bane of the gods.

I used to consider efforts to burn these books a legitimate strategy in defeating the big three.

Now in hindsight, they are not only the best weapons we have against them, but are concrete evidences to their acts of malice and wicked beliefs. It is even more legitimate a strategy to turn the tide of the spiritual war against them.

When a Muslim denies the Jewishness of their Holy Book, show the devotee this comparison. (This one is about menstruation.)

Islamic Verse
"They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about menstruation. Say, 'Beware of its harm! So keep away, and do not have intercourse with your wives during their monthly cycles until they are purified. When they purify themselves, then you may approach them in the manner specified by Allah. Surely Allah loves those who always turn to Him in repentance and those who purify themselves'."
[Koran: Surah Al-Baqara 2:222]

Jewish Verses
"And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean."
[Torah/Bible: Leviticus 15:19-20]
"And if a woman has a discharge of her ziva blood for many days not in the time of her menstruation, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her menstruation, all the days of the issue of her ziva she shall be as in the days of her menstruation: She is impure."
[Talmud: Niddah 73a]

Just think: this is only one verse. Many more to spare.

Also, we ought instead to support our wives when they're on their period, and totally not treat them like an infectious parasite. Just a thought.

Being a celebrity used to mean being something noble and worth more than gold. It was a godlike reputation.

Now, usually everyone who is a celebrity serves as the worst possible example of not only a role model, but a member of society overall.

Racemixing Society:
"We are all one race, the human race. WE ALL BLEED RED!"

Me:
"You know what else bleeds red? Chickens. Goats. Horses. Cats and dogs. Mice and rats. Deer, wolves, and sheep. Are we suddenly the same as some farm animal or varmint out in the woods?"

We are not the same.

Transhumanism, when taken to its logical conclusion, would produce a population of human beings who would become accustomed to a subliminal programming of dehumanization.

Since it would be subliminal, this would easily pass for being "scientifically beneficial for humanity", and most people under such pretext would fail to see how it actually is taking the human out of humanness. It can help and has helped some people recover limbs and their agilities from them, and in this instance, transhuman imperative actually did something beneficial for a person needing prosthetics; of course, there is no denying this, that this would be a compelling "pro". However, ultimately, the aims and objectives for which Transhumanism represent are nefarious, deceptively so. Even most of its well-meaning advocates mistakenly presume that it will not degenerate human ability and competency; they would be wrong. First, it would be about helping patients recover limbs--then before you know it, a Transhumanist world-government is allowing one superminority of the world to subjugate the rest of the population under its rule by effectively stripping them of their very humanness under the guise of "this is for the greater good".

This is basically letting ungodly creatures not only play God, but letting them get away with it too.

There is a legitimate debate to be had. But it remains rightfully controversial.

Though I personally see more harm than good coming from Transhumanism gaining real power and mainstream support.

A Swastika Prayer

Glory be to the Fire
and to the Blood
and to the holy crucible of combat
As it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be,
war without end.
