The Yule-Tide

The Mythical Yule

At first I was not going to bother with this again since there are so many differing opinions as to what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. But those who are active within the Woden Folk-Community, and those who support us and take an active part themselves, deserve some kind of uniformity so as to take part in a Community Ritual. I must add, this is my own opinion on this, and many may differ here, but it is based more on common sense and the natural world as well as how we know our forefathers did things at this time of year. And it can be made easy to work, even with individuals and families who do not all share heathen beliefs, and lessening the chance of problems within families (and thus aiding our enemies in their aims). 

THE MOTHERS' NIGHT - This starts on the evening of December 20th where the Sisters of Wyrd or Norns are honoured. Since the Winter Sunstead can be either 21st or 22nd December this should be done in line with whichever is right for the year. 

THE WINTER SUNSTEAD - This can be either 21st or 22nd December and is done the day after the MOTHERS' NIGHT Rite. In mythical terms this is when the Sun 'dies' which is why I light a candle inside the Yule-Light to symbolism the Dying Sun. At this point the Sun 'stands still' - hence the use of Solstice or Sunstead, both of which mean 'Sun-Still'. (This appears to stand still, though in mythical terms it does so - this is symbolic.) 

RHE BEBORN SUN - This will thus be either 24th or 25th December according to the date of the Winter Sunstead. The Sun dies on 21st-22nd and for three days appears to 'stand still' (in death), and on December 24th-25th it is Reborn as the 'Reborn Sun'. Since we are here dealing with the Mythical Yule then the 'Reborn Sun' can just as easily be seen as the ' Birth of the Son' - the Father reborn as the Son. This is not a Judaeo-Christian thing, bar its having been taken from its heathen roots to use for a different purpose. The Gods die at Ragnarok, and they are 'reborn' as the Sons of the Gods. Where lies the difference? This ancient myth can be found in the Legend of Osiris who is slain by his uncle, Set, and is resurrected by his mother, Isis, resurrected as Horus the Son, born on December 25th. At this point I light another candle on the top of the Yule-Light, this is symbolic of the Reborn Sun. 

THE NEW YEAR - January 1st, making the Twelve Nights of Yule as the period of celebration, found in the Twelve Nights (Six of Peace - Six of War) period of the Great Year Cycle from 1933 to 1945. On January 1st 1989, January 1st 1990 and January 1st 1991 Woden either appeared to me in a dream (1989), a Vision of Light (1990) and his Two Ravens (1991, appeared visibly to both myself and my ex-wife). Thus I see Woden as being related to the New Year, the period of ending and new beginning. Thence comes the Wassailing Ritual for the coming year. 

I would have thought that our main aim in trying to revive a Yule-Fest is to counter the 'Christmas' that is now (not always) based upon economic materialism. The obvious reason why Judaeo-Christianity could not get rid of the Yule-Fest and the honouring of the Gods, Goddesses, and Ancestors was that it was too engrained in the lives of the Folk and in the Folk-Memory. There are today rumblings of an attack on 'Christmas' and such an attack will bring with it an attack on the origins of 'Christmas', origins found in Heathendom. 

In regard to the 'Reborn Son' we even have a Norse Saga where a child named 'Helgi' is born on December 25th and whose birth is accompanied by the Norns. What is most important here is the Mythical Yule-Tide, since when a Primal Myth is recreated in time, what happens is that Time and Space are dissolved into a 'Magical Time' which 'earths' this Primal Myth in this time - year after year after year........

And this Yule-Fest is in line with creating a new Folk-Religion that will unite the Germanic Folk in their struggle for survival - which is the most important thing for us, is it not? This Folk-Religion for the English must be a Germanic Religion, and thus suited to the Germanic Folk as a whole, in line with Wotanism and Odinism which are doing the same. This is exactly how J.R.R. Tolkien approached this, reviving a Germanic Mythology for the English Folk, one going back to Thule-Hyperborea and Atlantis. 

 Conflict of Opposites

The 'Creation Myth' of Norse Mythology is based upon Ginnungagap as 'The Void', but as I have said before this is not really 'nothing' since it is a Magically-Charged Void, and this is named 'Ginn' from which springs 'Ginn-ung' ('Offspring of Ginn') and 'Gap' is the Gaping Chasm to Void. Put another way, Ginn is the Primal Consciousness that permeates The Void. To the North is Ice, to the South is Fire, and this is 'ok gustr' - 'without wind'. Clearly, it is the movement of 'wind' that brings together the two opposites, out of which a 'rime' is created. The very basis of all life is this Conflict of Opposites. The Primal Consciousness within The Void is the moving force that brings together the two opposites, to create a third. 

Now we move the the Doctrine of Hegel - Thesis vs Antithesis = Synthesis. I have to admit I know little of Hegel but it seems likely his work centred around a more spiritual approach, whereas that of Karl Marx, who too on the same idea, was based on a totally materialistic basis. This is the 'Conflict of Opposites' sited above, that results in the 'synthesis' of the two opposing forces - they are fused together as one. But Karl Marx was just one important figure in the Hidden Agenda, and one that clearly knew well that what he was doing would not destroy Capitalism, but fuse it together with Marxism - which has happened in our own era, clear for all to see. 

The Occult Symbol known as 'Baphomet', originating I believe in Eliphas Levi, is not the same as the Templar 'head', but is in itself an Occult Sysmbol of this 'Fusion of Opposites' -

1. White Moon - Black Moon: the hands point upwards and downwards to these symbols, which are 'White Man - Black Man' (Man and Moon are linked in the Germanic Tongue). On the arm is 'Solve et Coagula' - a formula for breaking down and running together the Black Man and White Man. 

2. The figure is androgyne - Man and Woman fused together.

3. The figure sits upon the Globe of the World, symbolic of world domination. 

4. There are other Occult Symbols but we need not go into these here.

Over the past decades some of the most important happenings point to a Global Agenda based upon this 'Conflict of Opposites', and agenda that will produce a 'third force' - a New World Order. 

1. The conflict of Capitalism and Marxism is now fusing together in the 'Great Reset'; Capitalism was created in order to put the world's wealth in the hands of an 'Elite', and Marxism was created to produce the 'proles', the slaves needed for these Elites to control in their Global Order.

2. The conflict of Man and Woman has seen the fusion of male-female over the last few decades.

3. The conflict of White and Black has seen the fusion of these races (in part) already, the move towards a 'Race of Tan' predicted by Count Kalergi. 

4. The conflict of parent-child creates a situation in which children appear to grow up quickly and miss the important childhood, and where some adults do not seem to mature at all.

5. The conflict of Judaeo-Christianity and Islam will result in their fusion into a new World Religion. The other religions are also pitted against each other and they too will fuse into the new World Religion. 

The method used by the Occult Powers is 'Conflict Management', by backing both sides at the same time whilst guiding the outcome through ensuring that one side is stronger than the other (if necessary), and the outcome is assured. With this knowledge we can see more clearly the 'progress' of history throughout the last few hundred years. It is thus very hard to counter such a force since whatever is done can be manipulated and used in this 'Conflict of Opposites'. This should have become clear with the emergence of 'Tommy Robinson' and the rise of the 'Far Right' (sic.) here in England. The conflict of 'Christian-Zionism' emerges as the opposing force to Islamic Militancy, and thus paves the day for a World Religion. It would seem that a counter-force needs to be based upon a Balance of Opposites. This seems clear in The Hooded Man Prophecy - the Power of Light and Darkness in balance. 

I have covered this subject before but felt the need to do so again so that we too do not fall into the same trap by creating a 'conflict' that will have the same result. I see the need to expose what is being done against us today, and to explain how our religion has been subject to distortion in the past. But I see no point whatever in keep attacking others for what they are doing or have done in the past, since in doing so all we do is to create a 'Victim Mentality' in ourselves. Do we need to whinge and whine about our plight, instead of creating a positive and strong movement that will ensure our freedom and survival? 

 In Days of Yore - Helgi Hundingsbane

The expression 'In days of yore.....' seems to be used to tell the reader that what is being said has happened in ancient times. However, like the phrase 'Ar var Alda' (*) used in the Norse Myths, it would seem to be used for what is known as 'The First Time', the 'Time of the Gods'. The phrase 'Ar var Alda' appears in the Helgi Lays where the mention of 'Borgar' seems to be telling us that this is a retelling of a Primal Myth, a myth set down in 'The First Time'. (According to Viktor Rydberg Borgar is the equivalent to the Hindu Bhrigu.)

(*) Ar var Alda is translated as 'Twas in olden times' which is the same as 'In days of yore'. 

Another thing that suggests that this is so is that Helgi Hundingsbane appears at the start of a New Age, an age that brings to an end an era of peace and plenty. That the Raven that spoke to Helgi foresees an era where the ravens will feast on the dead of the battlefield shows us that this is so. We are told of the Raven that 'hunger gnawed him', and that the Warrior-Hero will 'feast the wolves'. 

Another point that is often overlooked is the phrase - 'In his byrnie stands who was born at night, King Sigmund's son....' This is dismissed because it makes no sense, a new-born child standing in his 'byrnie'; we are told that it should not be taken literally. However, it seems that the Wolsunga Royal Line had a special trait in that when born the Warrior-Hero was older than he should be. This is clearly some sort of symbolism, and we should also bear in mind here that a hero being 'born' can sometimes itself not be taken as a physical birth, but as the basis of a Warrior-Initiation - a Rebirth as the 'Twice-Born'. This would also be true of the appearance of the Three Sisters of Wyrd (The Norns) at the 'birth', since at this point the Warrior-Hero would be dealt his Wyrd. 

The reference to Helgi Hundingsbane as an 'Ylfing' tells us that he is of a branch of the Wolsungas - the Wulfingas. He is later called 'Yngvi's Scion' since it seems obvious that the Wulfingas were of the Inglingas or Ingefolk. We are told in 'The Second Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane that he is fostered by Hagal, whose son was Hamal. Hamal is here introduced, and Hamal or Amala is the Divine Ancestor of the Amali which were a Tribe of Goths. I doubt that these things are introduced for no important meaning; the Goths were, according to Aelfric Avary, a tribe of the Ingvaeones, only later being seen as Istvaeones since they moved to the East. The name 'Borgar' is the same as the 'Berig' who led the Goths out of Scandi (Scandza) in a very early Germanic migration. 

That this is a Primal Myth which goes back to 'The First Time' is clearly suggested by the name 'Borgar'; the Myth of Helgi is thus a retelling of the Ur-Myth, or a 're-enactment' of the Ur-Myth. This re-enacting of the Primal Myth transcends Time and Space, and Helgi Hundingsbane arises as the Warrior-Hero-King who takes back the Edel-Lands in the North at this time - hence the breaking of the peace and the waging of war. Here, like Rig-Earl, Helgi is bade take back the 'Edel-Lands', the ancient lands of the North. 

We are also told of Helgi that '...his eyes flash fire, aethlingawise....' which is a Warrior-Hero trait - the eyes show the soul of an individual. Helgi is likened to an 'ash-tree' and to a 'towering deer', the deer being associated with the Wolsunga Tribe. Helgi Hundingsbane is wed to Sigrun ('Victory-Rune') who is a Valkyrie, and who protects the Hero in battle with her Warrior-Maids. What we do have in the Helgi Lays is proof of the heathen idea of 'resurrection'; note that I do not say 'reincarnation' which suggests the 'Way of the Ancestors', where one is reincarnated into the tribe or clan. Using the term, 'resurrection' this suggests that the Warrior-Hero lives an Archetypal Myth, which is itself 'reborn' at each incarnation of the Warrior-Hero on Earth. This 'rebirth' or 'resurrection' is from Valhalla, whence the Warrior-Hero returns after death, to be reborn anew as the next Archetypal Myth.  The Myth of HelgiH is just that - an Archetypal Myth which is 'reborn' again and again at different periods of the Cycle of the Ages. 

The Archetypal Myth of Helgi Hundingsbane was 'reborn' in the spring of 1997 through the power of the Hale-Bopp Comet. It is likely that the tale we are given of this Archetypal Myth took place at the start of the Kali Yuga or Dark Age, or maybe at the start of the Iron Age. Like the incarnation of Ingwe as Hengest, Helgi Hundingsbane incarnates at different times, and this Archetypal Myth leads to the incarnation of Helgi the Haddinga, whose Valkyrie-Wife is Kara. This name itself is important since it can be found as 'Kari' in Njall's Saga, a masculine form of the name, but still meaning 'Time'. This is the equivalent of the Hindu Kali whose name can also mean 'Time' as well as 'Dark', and she is often linked to Kalki (Avatar), hence the link between HELGI and KALKI since the letter-changes are feasible in Indo-European Lore. 

To emphasise the link between Helgi and Kalki the Aryan Root *kal- found in 'kal-ki',

means 'to hide' or 'to cover', whilst the Germanic Root *hal- means the same. So both Kalki and Helgi mean 'The Hidden One'. The name 'Helge' or 'Helga' is said to stem from the IE Root * kailo- meaning 'whole', the Germanic root being *hal- as above. Hence, 'The Hallowed One' is another rendering of Helgi. These meanings are reinforced by the reference to Hagal as his foster-father, a name that is used of the Hagal-Rune. 

"When justice is crushed, when evil is triumphant, then I come back. For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers, for the establishment of the Reign of Righteousness, I am born again and again, age after age."

Bhagavad Gita 4:7-8

Goden & Joten - Part Two

 Goden and Joten - Part Two

Slumber Watcher 'til the spheres

Six and Twenty Thousand years;

Shall revolve 'ere I return

To the spot where now I burn.

Stars that soothe and stars that bless

With a sweet forgetfulness,

Only when my round is o'er

Will the past disturb thy door.

Howard Philip Lovecraft

There are some today who are promoting the idea that the sinking of Atlantis was due to these 'Formless Ones' or 'Great Old Ones'. There is a work that appears to be a 'channeling' - the Emerald Tablet of Thoth. Now, I would guess that around 99% of such 'channelings' are merely wishful-thinking on the part of the individual, a means today of making them feel important in a world of mediocrity. But certain works of the past seem to be genuine 'channeling', the most famous of which I would say could be Aleister Crowley's 'Book of the Law', which most certainly contains prophecy, and has most certainly created change in the world - for good or evil. So 'channeling' need not be dismissed as fraud, which is why I am going to quote this piece from the Emerald Tablet of Thoth -

"Fell from the Light into the Darkness, some who had risen to heights among men. Proud they became because of their knowledge, proud were they of their place among men. Deep delved they into the forbidden, opened the gateway that led below. Sought they to gain ever more knowledge, but seeking to bring it up from below. He who descends below must have balance, else he is by lack of our Light. Opened they then, by their knowledge, pathways forbidden to men.....Sown sank Atlantis beneath the dark waves, shattered the gateway that had been opened, shattered the doorway that led down below...."

As with many ancient accounts of 'The Flood', this can be caused by 'God' in order to chastise man, or by 'The Gods', to do the same, or it can be a natural process, or it can be the work of dark, destructive forces. Whatever the case, at the end of a world-age, or a Cycle of the Ages, there is a massive cataclysm that destroys the dominant power of the time. And this dominant power has been responsible for evoking Dark Forces of Chaos and Disorder, either through Dark Sorcery, or in our modern times through high-tech means like CERN. (Here we should note that a figure of Shiva can be found outside the complex, and that CERN seems to be CERNUNNOS - a God of the Gauls, a Horned God. This seems to be yet another example of the use of Heathen Gods who have been distorted to suit their own ends. There are dark sides to these Ancient Gods.) 

This work of channeling also tells of the fleeing of those dwelling in Atlantis (in a flying machine), and the place they fled to - Egypt, then known as KHEM - the 'Black Land'. Pride comes before a fall - and this is how the sinking of Numenor/Atalante is seen in Tolkien's works, where the Kings of Men - the Numenorean Kings - became so proud as to challenge the Gods and to conquer the Land of the Immortals - to become immortal themselves. Now, we do have a Greek Myth of Tantalus, a mortal being who tried to steal the Ambrosia (Drink of Immortality) for personal gain. The Nectar of Immortality can only be given to the great Heroes of the Folk, as with Hercules who was offered this by Athene. 

"He Who Dwells in the Abyss - emerged from The Void to offer the Atlanteans forbidden knowledge."

As is clearly stated in the 'Emerald Tablet' - 'he who descends below must have balance' - the Balance of Light and Darkness, or he will be swamped by the Darkness and drawn into its Dark Net. Those who seek to open the gateway to 'below' are engulfed by the Darkness, and they then act in a way typical of the powers that control the world today - psychopaths in many cases. Those people today are devoid of all feeling, shown in their drive to achieve a set agenda at all costs, no matter what the pain and suffering. Yet, though engulfed in the Darkness, this pain and suffering can be seen as a challenge - a great struggle by which the individual (and the Folk) can overcome all human limitations to become the Overman or Superman. Through the evil of the Dark Joten, the Children of Godan may overcome and rise above the world in ruins, lifting themselves Above the Ruins, as 'Men Against Time' - Time - The Great Destroyer of the Worlds! 

There is a legend in India of a land named Tripura, originally a Land in the North, but which, after being destroyed by Shiva, arose again in the Land of the West. These locations fit with Thule-Hyperborea and At-al-land. This legend is interesting in that this can only take place when the Three Lands are aligned, suggesting that such cataclysms take place when certain stars-planets are in alignment. Lovecraft's poem about the Pole Star tells us that this returns to its former position every 26,000 years or seven stations of the Pole Star. This is also said to be the time at which Wid-Ar the Avenger returns. 

Much of this stuff revolves around a 'balance' - the 'Balance of the Power of Light and the Power of Darkness. Or, put another way, the 'Balance of Opposites. This is exactly how it was at the be-ginn-ing, since Ice and Fire were in balance, and the 'conflict' between these two opposing forces resulted in their fusion, from which Creation arose. This is the stuff of The Hooded Man Prophecy, which also gives sound advice upon how to trick the 'ruling powers' into not recognising the intentions of 'The Hooded Man' - 'The Fool'. The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness must be forged into a wholeness within the movement that will successfully counter these Dark Forces. The archetype of 'The Fool' or 'The Hooded Man' (*) is a balance of Order and Chaos, since he is the one to bring Justice and Order, and yet he dwells and works from the 'Chaos' of the Wild Walds. He is the 'Wolf's Head' (outcast), the Dog of the Outside, who dwells outside the order of society. This is the role of the ancient Germanic Mannerbunde, working in the 'liminal' are, neither in one nor the other. The 'Balance of Light and Darkness' comes at this liminal period, whether it be Dawn-Dusk, the Spring Evennight, or the Winter Evennight, which are the periods when the Light and Darkness are in balance. 

(*) The Hooded Man Prophecy is a multi-layered one, and more and more things are coming to light as to why this arose at this time of the Cycle of the Ages. It is more than a prophecy, it is a means to the balance of the mind, the balance of the individual, the balance of the Folk. It gives advice on how to work in secret to combat forces that are insurmountable at this point of time, telling us how to stay in the 'shadows', even though we work in the 'Light'. It also shows the way to the creation of a resistance to these Evil Powers, one based upon a balance of opposites within the wholeness - the Halgadom. This balance is found in the Haegl-Rune and Hagal-Rune, the balance of Light and Darkness within the Heil - wholeness. 

These ideas give us a grounding in what is happening today, and thus be able to build a counter to these Dark Forces. A Spiritual Movement is needed since this is a spiritual sickness amongst our Folk, and the aid of the Gods, Goddesses, Divine Wights, and the Ancestors is needed too, since we cannot do this alone. Our Enemy uses Occult Forces, and like Woden we too need to gain knowledge of these Occult Forces; the Ancient Runes are the key to our own Arcane Knowledge. The origins of our Gods and our Folk, and the Divine Spark given to the Germanic Folk by the Elder Gods is of vital importance. The Age of Heroes must produce new Folk-Heroes; in invoking the Ancient Heroes we bring them back to life within the Folk. The Gods grant to the greatest of Aryan Heroes the Gift of Immortality. 

Goden & Joten - Part One

 Goden and Joten - Part One

That which existed in the be-ginn-ing was known as Ginnungagap, consisting of Ice in the North and Fire in the South. 'Ginn-unga' means 'Offspring of Ginn' and 'Gap' is the Gaping Chasm, the Void, the Abyss. It is thus wrong to state that everything enfolded from The Void, since this was not in itself the original form. The original form is 'Ginn' which relates to a 'Divine Power' and also to a kind of 'Cosmic Joker'. Thus we have a 'Magically-charged Void' which is in itself not a 'nothingness' from out of which everything emerges - there was already a Primal Consciousness. 

The Primal Ice and Primal Fire were separated by the 'Gap' and Ginnungagap was 'loft vindlaust' - 'air without wind'. It was thus through the 'setting into motion' (wind) that the Primal Ice and the Primal Fire came together to start the creative process that leads to the creation of a Cosmos. This process was never that of a 'God' who created the Cosmos, nor was there a 'God' from which everything emerged, and to which everything returns. The only thing by which we could refer to a 'God' is in the name Godan - Woden - who, with Will and Weoh, officiated over the First Sacrifice in which the Joten - Ymir - was cut into pieces to form the Cosmos. Woden-Godan is one of the 'Elder Gods' from out of which emerged the other Gods and Goddesses. 

The lineage of the Elder Gods starts with Buri who is born through Audhumla (The Cosmic Cow or Cosmic Mother) licking the Ice-Rime, and he is the First Divine Being. We are told of no female being here, so Buri is presumably 'asexual' in the sense of being able to reproduce through Divine Thought. From Buri comes Bor, from whom we get the title 'Boreans' - those 'Beyond the North Wind', and Bor married Bestla ('Best Blood), one of the Joten. Thus the Elder Gods were fused with the Joten, but we have to assume here that these were the 'Sweat-Born Joten', born from the armpits of Ymir. A second Race of Joten were born from the feet of Ymir, and were thus the 'Low-Born Joten', a far different race of beings, Beings of Darkness & Chaos. 

We can see here how this split into two of the Joten-Race can cause problems in understanding our Ancient Mythology, but this is not restricted to Norse Mythology. In the Aryan Mythology of Persia (Iran) we find a very similar thing, in that  Shaedan Shaed is that which emerges from AHU, and the Dark Power that opposes this is 'Shaitan', a corruption of a very similar name to Shaedan Shaed. In a sense we are here given a challenge in that we have to distinguish between the 'Light' and the 'Darkness' for ourselves. AHU forms the base of AHURA - Ahura Mazda, the 'God of Light'. With the Info-European letter-swap we have AHU - ASU and AHURA - ASURA, but in Hinduism the original Asuras became the demonic powers, no doubt through the mixture of races in the area. Asu - Asura - Aesir - Asen are all variants of the Divine Powers of the Arya. 

The terms 'Goten' (Gods) and 'Joten' (Giants) are so similar as to be a challenge to us to sort out for ourselves. The term 'God' can be found in the Gothic name for Woden - Goden - but again we find that this name can be varied by certain logical letter-changes. We have the 'Goths', but we also have the 'Jutes' which is a variant name for the 'Goths'. In Old English the 'Eoten' are the same as the 'Joten' but in Beowulf the term 'Eotenum' is used for the Jutes, as well as the Giants. It was thus quite easy for the Low-Born Joten to claim that they were the 'Chosen of God' when this really applied to the 'Goths' whose name derives from the term 'God'. In this case Godan or Gaut, a title of Woden, spelt 'Geat' in Old English. 

Those who have looked at the WF Telegram site and read through the works of Richard Barrett on there will have become aware of the pitfalls in taking up the esoteric ideas of the Eastern Martial Arts, since these invariably base themselves on 'The Void' and 'Nothingness' or 'Formlessness', an alien idea to the Aryan Mind. Ice and Fire exist in the be-ginn-ing, and the Creative Power arises through the 'setting into motion' of a Divine Thought (movement of air, wind); Divine Consciousness (Ginn) also exists as a 'Magical Charge within The Void, i.e. this is certainly not 'nothing' since this is 'something' within the Void. Audhumla - the Cosmic Cow or Cosmic Mother - also appears and she brings into being the first 'Elder God' - Buri. It is here interesting to note that in some Info-European Tongues the word 'Buri' is applied to the Wolf; it is certainly where we get the terms 'Bear' and 'Boar' from, but was probably originally any wild beast. 

In one passage in the Eddas we find that All-Father 'lives throughout the ages', which rather contradicts the idea that Woden is slain at Ragnarok. But we are told that the immortality of the gods, and their ability not to age, is entirely down to the Golden Apples of Idunn, or more precisely, to Idunn giving the apples to the gods. I say this because when Idunn is taken by the Joten her Apples of Regeneration are not taken (we assume), so this power has to have Idunn 'gifting' these to the gods. And when Idunn was taken, the gods started to age, thus telling us that they are not quite 'immortal' in that way. 

Also, Baeldaeg is 'slain', as is his brother Hoder, so here again we have the same problem in that this does not make them 'Immortal'. But Woden, Baeldaeg and Hoder are 'resurrected' after Ragnarok, or at least we are told that Baeldaeg and Hoder arise again in the Golden Age. Since Woden is 'swallowed' by the Fenris Wolf, and his son Wid-Ar rips open the Wolf's Jaws, this leads to the conclusion that the 'Spirit of Woden' is released by Wid-Ar. In this sense All-Father 'lives throughout the ages', going through the very same Birth-Life-Decay-Death-Rebirth process outlined by Guido von List. Thus, the Gods as well as Men are subject to Becoming if this is right, so there has to be a 'Being', something that is there, unchangeable and unknowable - that which is, or that which exists - the immovable mover. 

In 'Armanen Runes and the Black Sun' Aelfric Avery mentions that Gimle, the brightest heaven and dwelling of All-Father, is the only world the exists beyond Ragnarok. This itself suggests that 'All-Father' is more than a 'Racial God' of our Folk, and that Woden, maybe, is a 'projection' of the 'All-Father' who creates a 'Chosen People of God' to act out the Creative Will here on Earth. And these seems to be the important words - Creative Will - since Woden-Will-Weoh are that Creative Will, either as separate entities or a Three-Fold God which is quite common in the Aryan Mythology. 

It is most likely that the Abrahamic Religions - Judaism, Islam and Judaeo-Christianity - took the idea of a single 'God' from the Religion of Zarathustra which arose in Persia, originated, it is said, in the 'Land of the Aryans' in the Far North - Airyana Vaeja. Certainly, the Religion of Zarathustra was never the same as the worship of a vengeful and jealous 'God', the basis of the Old Testament, where his 'Chosen People' are constantly driven to destroy anything and anyone that stand in the way of their drive for world domination. And to utterly destroy the Gothic Nation, the true 'People of God', and to do so break their Ur-Religion and replace it with the worship of Jahu-Shaddein - the 'Lord of Shadows'. 

Howard Philip Lovecraft wrote a series of horror-stories based upon horrific dreams that he had during his short life. These dreams are based around a race of entities known as the 'Great Old Ones' or 'Forgotten Ones' who existed even before mankind. These are clearly forces of Chaos and Darkness, and are sometimes known as 'The Formless Ones', since they appear to have no real form and order. Although these are 'fictitious' beings, this theme has been taken up by certain Satanic Occultists, and also seems to have been worshipped throughout the ages by secret groups working in the shadows to keep this whole theme alive. The one dominant theme throughout the tales given to these, and similar Dark Beings with different names, is that they arise from out of the 'Abyss' - the 'Gaping Void' Clearly, what we have here is Beings of Chaos that are evoked into manifestation here on Earth at certain times when they can be in evoked. Lovecraft hints that this happens every 26,000 years, or at the end of a Great Year Cycle. 

There has been speculation as to whether the fall of Atlantis was due to the appearance of these 'Formless Ones' who were evoked by certain Dark Sorcerers, and who thus brought upon the land the great catastrophe that sank these lands. Through study of some of the occult ideas centred around these islands there is some evidence to suggest that at one time Dark Forces arose here in ancient times. Throughout history we find that certain 'Gods & Goddesses' undertake a drastic change in their roles and forms, sometimes reversing completely their form, suggesting that their Archetypal Image was used  to reverse their form in order that their worshippers were thus worshipping a Dark Form. 

After reading some of the old horror tales of Howard Lovecraft, and watching some stuff on YouTube about these 'Formless Ones', I had a vivid and realistic dream in which one of these entities appeared. This was a jet-black formless mass, which is all that can be said of it, since it was a formless, changing mass - a shapeless mass. Some of the appearances of Woden (in his Dark Side) are quite 'scary' in a sense, so this no doubt helped to make this more 'palatable', and I even tried to get back to sleep to see what would happen next - nothing! But this does go to show that these 'Dark Entities' are not just something without but, like our Gods and Goddesses, are also within - hence the need to recognise that this Cosmic War is fought within ourselves too.

Of course, the majority of people will completely dismiss the dream here as coming from a 'vivid imagination', but this is not meant for the 'majority of people', only for those who have an inkling that there is far more beyond this world of matter, and that there are other worlds of being that impinge on our world. And that there are Divine Powers and Demonic Powers, Light and Darkness, Order and Chaos. Woden, and some of the other Gods too, is recorded as going to the 'Land of Giants' or to 'Utgard' (Out-gard), especially (in the case of Woden) to find Hidden Knowledge, or to regain the means of gaining this Hidden Knowledge - the Sacred Mead, for instance. 

Recreation of the Race

 

Myths are never restricted by Time and Space, they exist - they are. As Orlaug they were set down in the 'Days of Yore' - Ar Var Alda - the 'Primal Layers' or 'Primal Laws' of the Creation. And there was a Creation, both the creation of the Cosmos and the Creation of Aryan Man, by Woden, Will and Weoh, also named Woden, Hoenir and Lodur. However, unlike the Judaeo-Christian idea of 'Creation' this is not actually a 'one-off' event; creation occurs over and over again at many levels. It is not one particular point in history. 

"In imitating the exemplary acts of a god or of a mythic hero, or simply by recounting their adventures, the man of an archaic society detaches himself from profane time and magically re-enters the Great Time, the Sacred Time". 

Mercia Eliade - Myths, Dreams and Mysteries.

The key words in understanding that a work is a Primal Myth seems to lie in the Old Norse Ar Var Alda ('In olden times'), and also in the Old English aet frumsceaft ('At the beginning') and in geardagum ('In days of Yore'), the latter having been used until very recently in stories, especially children's tales. It is thus feasible to use any of these at the start of a working related to Primal Myth, and I do so myself when doing the Myth of HelgiH on a regular basis, retelling the Myth of Helgi Hundingsbane. 

The term 'yore' is related to our word 'year' and thus to the Ger-Rune (pronounced 'year'), and would likely have originally referred to a 'complete cycle', which is what a year is, of course. This is born out by either the Elder Futhark version or the Anglo-Frisian version (above), and in the latter this is shown as a circle (cycle) but broken into two halves (Light-Dark & Summer-Winter). We are today in the period of the Summer Sunstead and Midsummer, the start of the summer months. We are at the beginning of the Light part of the Year-Cycle, even though the darkness now starts to lengthen.

There is an Ur-Myth (Primal Myth) where we find the Creation of Man, which is the creation by the Gods Woden, Hoenir and Lodur of our own Race. This does not apply to the creation of 'mankind' referring to all races, this is our own unique species of Aryan Man. Let us look at this carefully now but in an entirely different way, in a way sometimes used by speculative writers. Some of these writers see the gods as 'aliens' who come down to Earth and create mankind; we can dismiss the 'alien' bit since this word is used wrongly in most cases. But if we look at our own times we can see that it is not impossible to alter the DNA Code in order to cause mutations in humans. The Covid Vaccination program included methods of changing the rDNA which some scientists insisted did not change the DNA, whilst others insisted that it did. Whatever the case here this can be seen to be a manipulation of the rDNA and DNA in order to create some kind of change in the human species. Thus, it is quite possible that this has happened in the past, and in the Secret Doctrine in regard to the Aryans of Atlantis this new species of Man was created through some kind of genetic mutation. It must also be remembered that this need not be some physical method alone, but can be done through some kind of Psychic Change. This applies also to The System who can use psychic forms of magical change in their mind-control program which can effect changes in the human mind and psyche, and thus lead to physical changes. (Just look around at the 'monsters' and 'mutants' that have been [and are being] created through the work of the Dark Powers.) 

Thus, in Norse Mythology we find the Creation of Man done by the Elder Gods - Woden, Hoenir and Lodur. They found Ask and Embla by the shores of the sea, and from these two trees they created Man. Ask and Embla are symbolic of the vegetative state that came to be 'genetically manipulated' in order to create a new species of Man. Trees grow in the Earth, and they grow upwards to the Heavens, thus linking the Earth and the Divine. They are an ideal symbol of the Aryan Man - the upright, noble Race of Man. What was added to the vegetative state from which they were formed was the ability to move, but there were also very important other things given by the Gods. Of course, there is yet another, and more important, meaning the act of creating Man from the Ash-Tree, since this also refers to Iggdrasil - the World Ash. Iggdrasil is thus directly linked to the Creation of Man. Hence this is the White Tree and refers to the White Race. (The Aesc-Rune in the Old English Rune-Poem hints that the Ash-Tree is the World Tree and the Ancestral Tree, as well as the Norse version. This, unlike the Yew-Tree, also tells how mankind must die and be reborn, symbolised by the falling of the leaves of the Ash-Tree, and then the 'rebirth' in the spring of the following year.)

Found on the land

With little maegan (power),

Ask and Embla

Lacking Orlaug,

Ond they had not,

Neither La nor Laeti,

Nor Lito Goda.

Ond gave Woden,

Odr gave Hoenir,

La gave Lodur

And Lito Goda.

It is clear from this that Ask and Embla were already formed of earthly material and the vegetative force - growing as trees.These elements united themselves through the Force of Nature, without any divine interference. This is, as Viktor Rydberg states, earthly matter joined by active matter. This active matter united with the matter of the Primaeval Giant (Ymir), who was filled with the 'Seed of Life' from the Milk of Audhumla (The Cosmic Mother), and the 'green herbs' were created. In order to create the Race of Man the Gods had to become involved. 

Thus, the Creator-Gods (Elder Gods) Woden, Will and Weoh, as Woden, Hoenir and Lodurr, 'altered the DNA' of Ask and Embla to create the Race of Man. Now let us look at the 'Gifts of the Gods', and to understand this we also need to look at the Elder Gods themselves. 

Lodurr's first gifts are 'La and Laeti' ('Blood' and 'Manner', the latter in the sense of how a being moves and acts), and these transform the 'Ash-Tree' into an animal being having the ability to move. La is the Blood, and Laeti the power of movement, thus transforming the vegetative to the animal being. The next gift given by Lodurr is the Litr Goda which means 'Image of the Gods', i.e. Man was created in the Image of the Gods. To understand this we need to look to the idea of the Astral Body spoken of by Miguel Serrano; it is the Astral Body or Inner Body that is in the Image of the Gods, and this shapes the Outer Form - the physical body. The litr is influenced by the emotions, and through it the blood, so this gives a clue as to how to effect change in oneself. The outer appearance is then affected by the litr; we can see this in the human trait of 'blushing'. 

Hoenir gives the gift of odr which is the ego, understanding, and the will; we can recall the child's story of how babies are 'made' - brought by the Stork. For Hoenir is the Stork (or Swan) who fetches the human ego from the World Tree, and brings it to the mother of the unborn child. It would seem that the human egos grow on the World Tree, fall into a mythic pond, to be collected by Heonir (Winged God) and taken to the birth-mother. And here is something of vital importance to us, for as I said earlier, creation is not a one-off event but occurs every moment of time. This is shown clearly here since the 'Gift of Hoenir' is given when the Gods first create Man, but this Mythical Act is re-enacted over and over again with every child born of the Folk. Another Gift of Hoenir is the Will, which is why we can certainly link Hoenir and Willa together. 

Woden gives the gift of One - the Spirit. The Spirit thus dwells within the material body, hence why we are Spiritual Beings but clothed in Matter. Clearly, all of these things are important to our being, all of them necessary for our development and our evolution. This includes the ego which should be strengthened into the 'Absolute I' (Miguel Serrano) and not destroyed or submerged into the 'One' as many mainstream religions and disciplines teach. 

A few points here on this, if Rydberg is right in that Lodurr is Mundelfore then he is a god of the World Mill, and that of Friction-Fire. He seems to be the equivalent of Matarishvan of the Vedas, 'father' of the Fire-God Agni. In which case the Gift of the Blood here also links to Ingwe and to the Rune of the Blood - Ing. We have here the hint that we are talking of the Fiery Blood of the Gods and its relationship with Ingwe as a God of Fire and Light. 

The Divine Essence in Man can be developed in the Heroic Type, and become superior to the earthly elements, and thus the individual becomes a Divine Being. In other words Man was clearly given the ability to become a God! And Man was given this ability to become a God by the Gods who created us! This entails, through a Heroic Life, opening the Higher Centres of the Astral Body, going beyond the lower 'earthly' centres. (Through the Mystical link between the Blood and the Soil it is possible for Man to infuse and spiritualise the Earth. In some way this was linked to the Hvarena - the Glory of Light.) 

A point here. The greatest of heroes who have been able to open the Higher Spiritual centres retain their power even after death, and can indeed leave this power in their Burial Mound. This is where the Old English Rune-Poem under the Ken-Rune tells of this 'Fire' (Glory of Light) within the Burial Mound of the AEthlingas. This is the 'Gift of Ing' which is clearly shown on the White Stone of Ing as the Ken-Rune. The Ken-Rune is an Invocation of Fire, but it is also an Invocation of the Heil-Force. The Scyldingas trace their descent back to Scyld, but in a Danish work we find mention of an earlier figure of 'King Lotherus', a Latin form of Lodurr. Scyld is the Son of Sceaf, and here we seem to have hints of a very much deeper mystery when we see Sceaf as Ingwe. This we need not go into here, it is another story. 

If we go back to the start, and to the quote from Mercea Eliade, then in order to affect a regeneration and a recreation of our Folk it is necessary to re-enact the Primal Myth of Creation, or to 'relive' this Primal Myth through repeating it at regular intervals. This simple piece from the Eddas could help to recreate that which is being destroyed; by linking our present situation to the Ur-Time and to the Ur-Myth they become one, time and space are dissolved and a 'New Creation' takes place. 

Press Liars & Deceivers.

 

Yesterday I visited Wayland's Smithy with a few friends and comrades, and whilst I was there decided to take a look at the famous 'Swastika' that some of the low-life newspapers accused 'Far-Right' groups of carving into the trees. This was even taken up by one of the so-called 'pagan' groups in England. 

This notice has now appeared on the site of the Long Barrow, which is something new since the newspaper smears. It seems strange how most of the graffiti there, i.e. carving of names, has been there many years if not decades, and yet nothing whatever was said about this before. This alone tells us that the National Trust is less concerned about the welfare of the trees (which it tries to tell us) and more about making something out of the downright smears and lies of the British Press.

"Neo-Nazis hold rituals on National Trust land and carve swastikas into trees.' 

The Mirror.

"Far-right fanatics perform masked torchlit rituals and carve swastikas on trees to take back 'ancient land'."

The Telegraph.

"Far-right groups vandalise ancient monuments."

The Wild Hunt.

The 'swastika' can be seen here, and looks nothing like the clear carving of someone's initials below it. Indeed, it is not quite clear whether this is actually man-made at all. Whatever the case it looks very much older than most of the stuff carved on the beech-trees, and there are lots of carvings I am afraid. This seems to have been a great opportunity to smear our Movement through false accusations of something no Folkish Heathen will ever do - damage trees. We regard these as sacred sites, so why would we do such things. 

Some years ago we cleared up three large dustbin-bags of rubbish from the site of Wayland's Smithy, not quite as much as the average clear-up of some 30 tons a year from Stonehenge. The same type of 'eco-pagans' use Wayland's Smithy as use Stonehenge on the Summer Solstice. Do English Heritage or the National Trust contact the police every time the 'eco-pagans' use the site? We all know the answer to that, and we all know why. These are all part of the corrupt, lying, deceiving system that we have to put up with in our time, and which will get worse and worse if we do not stand up against such a system.

The Truth Will Set Us All Free!

The Sound of Silence

 

Wid-Ar is called 'The Silent God' but this has never really been explained, though I have read many ideas about it, all of which has to be guesswork I am afraid, since Norse Myths say nothing of this as far as I can tell. The term 'silence' invokes the idea of 'stillness' and a 'lack of vibration'; thinking is done by 'brain-waves' which is 'vibration'. Thus being silent is to still the thoughts which in most people are turbulent and hard to control. The Hindus tell us that the 'Sound of Silence' is to still the mind to hear the Sound of the Primordial Ocean. The term Primordial Ocean is used to mean the Primal Sound-Vibration or Sound-Wave - AUM/OM/YM. In Hinduism this is symbolised by the Conch Shell, and it is a fact that a shell, when held to the ear, seems to give the sense of the waves of the seas. It is perhaps significant here that a shell has a spiral form. Presumably, the Primordial Ocean is the Apsu (Sumer) or Absu (Babylon), seen in the term Aep in Norse Lore, the basis of the term Aep-andi Nam - the 'Cry of Need'. (*)

(*) This term must then mean 'Aep' (Primordial Waters) and 'Anda' (Vital Breath).  

When Woden is swallowed by the Fenris Wolf this is not just symbolic of his being 'swallowed' by Chaos, since though this is so the meaning goes far deeper than this. It is true, Old Chaos returns at the end of a Cosmic Cycle, and this is how things are today; this is where the Cosmic Joker comes into play, since all this infers a return to the Source of Creation - the Void or Ginnungagap. Ginn is the Cosmic Joker and Ginnar is a name of Woden who is a form of 'emanation' of this Ur-Force. When Woden is swallowed by the Fenris Wolf ('Wolf of the Fens') he is thus returned to the Source - The Void. This is why it is important to understand the concept of the Egyptian Rite called The Opening of the Mouth. 

The Opening of the Mouth was done originally by Horus on his father Osiris who was slain by his brother Set. Straightway we see in this the Myth of Hamlet where the Father is slain by the Brother, and the Son avenges his father by slaying his uncle. The ritual was done originally by using an apse which was a piece of (meteoric) iron shaped like the Great Bear Constellation. The aim of this rite was to allow the Soul-Spirit of the Father to 'escape' the body and then 'enter' the Son, who thus became the resurrection of the Father. 'The Father and The Son are one!' This is exactly what we see with Wid-Ar who rips open the Wolf's Jaws to allow the Spirit of Woden to escape; Woden is thus resurrected as Wid-Ar the Silent. Here Wid-Ar is linked to the Sound of Silence whence is heard the Sound of the Primordial Ocean. In order that a resurrection and renewal can take place it is necessary to return to the Source of Creation. 

YR = YM = YMIR = The Primordial Sound

The Yr-Rune has the symbolism of the YR-MIN-SUL which is placed inside the UR-RUNE - the UR - YR-MIN-SUL. An alternative name of Ymir is Aur-gal-mr where 'aur' is akin to 'our' and to 'Ur'. The Root *gal- means 'sound'. 'In the Be-Ginn-Ing was The Word' - Sound Vibration. The symbol most associated with the First Earth - the Primal Earth - is the Swan, symbolic of the Land of Thule and of Hyperborea. This can be found in Greek Mythology where Apollo rides to the Land of the Hyperboreans on a chariot pulled by Swans. The following is  break-down of the ideas around the word 'Swan' -

IE Root *swen- means 'sound'.

English swan and German schwas mean 'sound'.

Sanskrit Root vanish means 'sound' or 'tone'.

Latin snare means 'to sound'.

Latin sonus means 'sound'. 

Brahma is seen riding upon a Swan as is the Goddess Saraswati who gives her name to the River Saraswati in India. The Saraswati River is seen as being linked to the Milky Way, and the Saxon Irminsul seems to symbolise the same thing, and the Roman Roads of Watling Street - Ermine Street are set out as a reflection of the Milky Way over the Land of Britain. The Goddess Saraswati, it has to be pointed out, is linked to the Swan or the Goose, or the 'Swan-Goose'. There are other important ideas linked to the Swan -

• Thule-Hyperborea.
• The 'Swan-Knight', which is Lohengrin, though to have been originally from the Legend of Sceaf, and thus linked to Ingwe. 
• In this link to Ingwe, Tolkien writes into the Legend of Hengest and Horse the Myth of Hamlet, and the sister of Hengest and Horse is Swana ('Swan') found in Frisian Lore. 
• The Swan-Maidens or Valkyries associated both with a Swan and also the Raven or Crow. 
• The Legend of Wayland the Smith where he and his brothers are wed to Swan-Maidens. It has been said that Wayland's Smithy is aligned with Deneb, the central star of Cygnus the Swan. 
• The Elder God Hoenir is linked to the Stork and the bringing of the babies to the mother, but an alternative to the Stork is the Swan. 
• The highest chakra in the Chakra System has the tone HAMSA which means 'Swan'.
• This is why the Swan is the symbol we use for the Odroerir-Centre in the ALU-ULA Exercise. 

The Rad-Rune is linked to the idea of sound-vibration (waves), to rhythm, to rhyme (meter) and thus to 'Right Order' - harmony. The Lago-Rune is the glyph of a 'wave of the sea' at one level, at another it is a 'spring' welling up from the ground. The 'spring' is a source of a waterway, thus the Source and Origin of Water. 

The constellation of Cygnus the Swan is shaped like the Ear-Rune (Hanged God) and the Cweorth-Rune (Resurrected God). This is also known as the 'Northern Cross' and an astronomical map of the Northern Hemisphere by William Schickhard (1592 - 1635) shows 'Krist Crucified' upon the Northern Cross. This constellation lies over the Galactic Centre, the 'Dark Rift' which seems to be the 'Womb of Creation'. This area lies around a vast Black Hole at the Centre of the Galaxy - marked by Deneb. When the figure of the Egyptian Goddess Nut is imposed upon the Milky Way her sexual organs lie right at this point. Nut would surely be alike to the Norse Goddess Not - Goddess of Night. Nut clearly stands over the Night-Sky and the Night Stars. The term 'Not' may well be seen as 'not' in the sense of darkness and a lack of light. The word 'not' comes from the IE Root *ne- and gives rise to 'nothing', 'naught' and 'none'. It is from the Goddess Not that everything arose out of - Light from the Darkness. The Saxons called the Milky Way by the name Iring's Way, a name that could be associated with Irmin (Ir-Min). 

This alternative version of the Cweorth-Rune shows a glyph whose shape has the same parts as the Peorth-Rune, as well as the same '-eorth' sound. The Perth-Rune is the 'Opening of the Womb' in childbirth, as well as the 'Opening of the Mouth' as a 'Gateway' or 'Doorway'. Peorth is also linked to the ideas of the Taefl-Board Game and thus to the Conflict of Opposites which underlies the Cosmos and its workings. 

Two other runes can be seen as linked to the flight of the Swan, as well as to the feet of a bird - the 'Life-Rune' (Eohls) and the 'Death-Rune' (Calc). The 'Swan-Song' is said to be the sound made by the Swan as it dies - the 'Sound of Death'. This is a clear association with Death, but the Swan is also associated with the 'Sound of Life' and the 'Sound of Creation'. A binary-star system called Cygnus X3 gives off very strong X-Rays, and this was known even before these were detected by scientists, since it was mentioned by Peryt Shou. The Eohls-Rune can also be seen as the Female Sex-Organs if we take the top part of it as a symbol. Indeed it could also double as symbolic of the Male Sex-Organs. 

The work of Peryt Shou was based around making contact with the 'Brotherhood of Hermes' and Wotan-Hermes formed part of this. In these times occultists used the term 'extraterrestrials' but it is perhaps better to say 'extra-dimensional beings' to keep clear of the 'alien' bullshit. Shou mentioned that strong radio-waves were emitted from the region of Cygnus the Swan. An important part of his work concerned the use of the human body as an 'antennae' to contact other intelligences. The 'Life-Rune' (Eohls) has long been used as a symbol of an antennae. This is indeed why this rune-posture is used in ritual - as an antennae. to make contact with the Gods and Ancestors. 

The Ing-Rune is a glyph of the DNA Spiral and it is also linked to various symbols used within shamanism, especially to those connected with the journey to the Cosmic Centre -

• Twin Serpents intertwining.
• A ladder.
• A rope.
• A tree that is used to climb upwards.
• The 'chimney' down which 'Santa Claus' descends to bring presents to the good children. The chimney is the 'centre' or 'hearth' of the house. The fireplace or 'Inglenook' is likely named after the Fire-God, Ingwe. 

There is a Quantum Theory which states that some sub-atomic particles, when separated, will continue to communicate with each other even if placed far apart. This new 'find' merely confirms what magical practice already knew, in that something connected to a person can be used to effect a curse or to heal that person. This also applies to objects that have been used by the dead, which can be used to contact the dead, hence the idea of 'sitting out' on the Burial Mound, or in the churchyards in later times. Today we keep a loved-one's ashes in order to keep contact with them. Imagine how much more powerful these ideas would be when used within a small tribal community where each individual was buried close to each other. 

But this theory also suggests something that is just as important, and that is the ability to contact the Spirit-World in regards to plants, trees and animals. We have no doubt all read of the 'shamanic' experiences (mainly using mind-alternants) in which the individual seems to be able to contact the 'spirit' (consciousness) of a plant. Great stress is given upon such experiences and yet there is one very good example of this from Edward Bach and the 'Bach Flower Remedies' when he seems to have contacted the 'spirits' of the plants in order to find out their use, which is just the same thing, though I don't think he used mind-altering drugs to do so. 

What does seem strange in the accounts that I have read of such shamanic experiences is the widely-seen forms of Serpents that are seen during them. The Twin-Serpents intertwined as found in the Ing-Rune seem to hint that here we are dealing with the consciousness of the DNA itself, perhaps that great proportion called 'Junk-DNA' which scientists know nothing of. We could dismiss this, but there are many Serpents found on the Horns of Gallehus, created in a dotted form as if to show they exist in another world -

We see in the above the intertwined serpents in various different places, and this pattern is also found on various Germanic Artifacts around Europe, the intertwined or interlaced 'Serpent-Pattern'. I am going to make a suggestion here, and that is all it is, and that is that the intertwined serpents are linked to Ingwe and the Ing-Rune because Ingwe is a Fire-God like Agni, and has the same type of role as the Messenger-God. Through a Quantum-Consciousness of the DNA (not only of humans, but animals, trees, and plants) we find that 'messages' can be sent from one to another. The Consciousness of DNA could be the reason that some people can communicate with animals, trees, plants; it could also be why contact can be made with other 'spirits' - Gods, Elves etc. 

Here I am going to go back to an idea that came to me some years ago, and this relates to the 'Swan-Knight' and to Sheaf-Ingwe. The Swan is used as the symbol of the Highest Initiation. It is also possibly the original 'wings' on the Saxon Irminsul. Whether this be the Eagle and the World-Tree, the Eagle and the Sacred Mountain, or the Swan and the World-Pillar, the symbolism is just the same, the ascent to the Highest Consciousness. My idea on this was that the Legend of Sheaf can also be seen as an allegory based upon this individual ascent to a Higher State of Consciousness, symbolised by the Swan, Thule, Hyperborea or Scandi. That this is the Shining Island is significant since this itself infers a higher consciousness and the Divine Light. 

According to Sri Aurobindo this state was called SWAR/SVAR which would be HWAR/HVAR in Aryan Persia (Hvar-ena). This itself is of interest since this may stem from the IE Root *swer- which has the following meanings -

To speak, to talk.

To buzz, to hum, to whisper.

To cut, giving us the word 'Sword'. 

The inference here is to sound, but the symbolism of the Sword also suggests 'Light' in that it is used as a Solar Symbol. In regard to 'to speak' or 'to talk' the English word 'swear' stems from this same root. The Germanic *swar- is linked to these ideas too. It is also interesting to note that the Waelcyrge are linked to the sound of the buzzing of bees, and this sound (from my own experience) is linked to mystical happenings. (The root-sound YM/AUM/OM has the 'mmmmm' sound which is a humming-sound. When the sound is extended to AUMN ('Amen') this humming-sound is done through the mouth and then into the nose.) 

The symbolism around the figure of Sheaf-Ingwe also suggests this could be a valid idea -

The Sheaf of Corn - Gold is symbolic of the Solar-Consciousness.

The Lighted Taper - Fire is symbolic of Light. 

The Swan-Ship - The ship is symbolic of the journey between one world and another world. 

 

This Mayan Stela shows a 'Hanged God' upon the World Tree, clearly an idea not restricted to Judaeo-Christianity. The important thing here is that this is clearly a Tree, but it is also clearly a Cross. It has much the same symbolism as Yggdrasil, since at the top is a Cock rather than an Eagle, and this Cock is being spoken to by a small animal to the left, the equivalent to Ratatosk the Squirrel. The figure of a Cock on the top of a Tree or Staff can be found in very old shamanic drawings, representing the ascent to the Spiritual Centre. Some cultures see Cygnus as a Cock rather than a Swan. 

The importance of Wid-Ar does not seem to have been taken up much beyond the work of Woden's Folk. Yet, it was prophesied in Voluspa that few would be able to see beyond Woden being swallowed by the Fenris Wolf, so this would go some way to explaining this. We are still in the throes of hanging on to the old 'archetype', bar those who accept the Wid-Ar Archetype for the New Age. The Armanem of pre-war Germany, and other well-known individuals, seem to have recognised this when some declared 'Odin is Dead!'. Rather than a God being 'dead' in the normal sense this more likely referred to Odin as the 'Hanged God', just as Christ, as the 'Hanged God' was declared dead by Nietzsche. This was the theme of Peryt Shou's ideas too, since he saw the ordeal undergone by Woden on the World Tree as a form of death and resurrection, when Woden climbs down from the Tree of Woe as the 'Awakened One'. The 'New Age' was recognised long before the coming of the 'New Age Movement'. 

We have this 'dual-symbolism' in the Constellation of Cygnus the Swan, represented by both the Ear-Rune (Hanged God) and the Cweorth-Rune (Resurrected God). Like everything else in the multiverse, the Gods do not 'die', they are transmuted into another form, and this other form has to be suited to the era in which they reappear. The 'defeat' of the Forces of Light here in Middle-Earth did not mean the 'death' of the Gods, they retreated into the shadows, to awaken once more into the Light of Day when the time is right. The 'Twilight of the Gods' has to be balanced by the 'Dawn of the Gods'! 

The Mysteries of Heil

 

The Abbot of Cerne  was named Aelfric, one of the three foremost scholars of the tenth and eleventh centuries. We have this quote from Aelfric -

"There, near at hand to the Holy Man, there was a pleasant hill adorned with plants, with all fairness and full smooth."

This 'Holy Man' seems to mean the Heil-Giant, and the words do convey the meaning 'Holy-Giant', the term 'Heil' can mean 'Holy'. In one of his works, Lives of the Saints, he dwelt a great deal upon the figure of Saint Edmund and the Severed Head guarded by a Wolf. Also, in the martyrdom of St Alban we find that he escaped death by causing a stream to dry up, and then reactivating its spring by pure 'spiritual power', and was afterwards beheaded, as was St. Edmund. It has been said that at some time a 'Severed Head' could have been linked to the Giant. 

The figure was also called Helia recorded by a French monk named Gotselin who migrated to England in 1053. The name appears to be female, but it has variations - Helia, Helis or Helith. The French monk no doubt got this information from earlier Saxon accounts. Interestingly, in view of this religious abbey being built next to the Giant, this is also the case with the Long Man in Wilmington. It is also interesting to note that St. Edwold, the brother of King Edmund of Anglia, fled to Dorset around 870 CE and lived as a hermit in the Cerne Valley. The legendary founder of the earlier religious house was St. Augustine in the sixth century. He travelled to Dorset from Kent to 'suppress idol-worshippers at Cerne'. 

An account written by Walter de Hemingford in 1297 begins - 'In the district of Dorset...where the god Helith was once worshipped..." In  the Golden Legend written earlier in the thirteenth century the same story is told, set '...in a certain town inhabited by wicked people...' who worshipped an idol called Heil or Hele. Since we find the names associated with a 'Holy Man' they could be related to the Old English helig meaning 'holy'. 

Long ago William Stukely saw the hill-figure as 'Hercules', and Professor Stuart Piggot took up this idea in later times. But Piggott links the name Helith with Harlequin which Kris Kershaw relates to Herla's Kin and in doing so links this to King Herla and to Herian, a name of Woden as the Wild Huntsman. This in fact gives weight to my own ideas on Waendal, since the figure also links to the Harlequin (Jester-Fool) and to the Wild Huntsman. As 'Winter-Woden' this is the Wild Hunter-God named Helethkin from the Old English heoloth-cynn. Hercules is a Greek form of this figure, which gave rise to the idea that the hill-figure was Roman. The problem is that many scholars started with the idea this was 'Roman' (from the Greek) and then tried to prove it so by finding the 'Lion's Skin' held by Hercules. The figure today is thought to date from the Anglo-Saxon times!

Even though the name of the area in which the abbey is found is Cerne or Cernel, relating the Giant to Herne is not so far from being right, since Herne the Hunter is the Wild Huntsman as shown in his legend from Windsor. 'Cerne' is in fact a Celtic word for 'horn', as 'Herne' is the Saxon equivalent. The 'nipples' of the Giant are offset in the same pattern as the top two stars of Orion the Hunter. Since the 'Phallus of Orion' - Three Stars of Orion - can represent 'Frigg's Distaff' and the 'Three Sisters of Wyrd, then the three Pyramids of Egypt are also based upon the Three Stars of Orion as Robert Bauval has discovered. Also, of interest here, is that another 'speculative writer' (don't forget most of our history is 'guesswork'), Andrew Collins, has equated the same three pyramids of Egypt with Cygnus the Swan - thus we have Orion (Heil Giant) and Cygnus (Long Man) again linked in some mysterious way. 

There is yet another synchronicity involved here. There is a 'Severed Head' linked to the Heil Giant, recorded in some old drawings of the figure. The Long Man was once called The Green Man and the 'Severed Head' is directly linked to the Legend of the Green Giant, where Gawain beheads the Green Giant. We have the 'beheading' of the White Hart connected to the Long Man! Thus both figures may be linked to the image of the 'Severed Head'. 

The Skull and Crossbones is thought to be symbolic of the Wild Huntsman, and is certainly linked to Death and Destruction (to resurrection and renewal). Both Gawain and Parsifal are linked to the Graal-Quest, and the name Ga-Wain (Gavin) could be rendered Ga-Wyn, thus the Gyfu-Rune and Wyn-Rune making up the Chi-Rho which Mdme. Blavatsky says is the Skull and Crossbones - just pure guesswork, of course. 

In 1764 it was reported that 'three numbers' were found within the Giant's legs, and in 1774 an illustration in a book by Hutchin showed three letters as well. Research has been done on this through various scans of the areas, but nothing conclusive has been found, nor do we know if or when such letters and numbers were on the Giant. Hutchins version of the symbols seem to show the letters - I : n: g, though later research seems to look like I : n ; D, and the numbers 1 : 7. Since we find no evidence of letters and numbers on other hill-figures in England these would no doubt be later editions (if they ever existed). Hutchin's version of the numbers is 7 : 9 : 8. It is hardly likely that the date 1798 is shown here, since this was decades before Hutchins wrote in 1764. The earlier version of the letters - ing - would also seem to be more likely than i-n-D, since why use a capital letter for the 'D'. The 'i' can be a capital 'I' or a 'J' from the version we have from Hutchins. 

It has also been found that the phallus has later been lengthened, originally being the navel and phallus. The Trendle next to the Giant could have been a Temple of Heil maybe having an idol of the God within its boundaries. When we count the circles for the navel and phallus we have a link to the Three Stars of Orion, and above these the two top stars, offset as are the nipples.The two offset stars have the same form as the constellation of Orion - that is when we view this as the Seven Stars of Orion. As Hamasson once pointed out, these create the Wolf-Hook Rune. 

What has tended to cloud the issue here is the academic dogma that everything here in Britain in pre-Roman times was 'Celtic'. This area was in fact where the Belgae dwelt and Caesar stated these were mainly Germanic Tribes. There is really no difference, bar language, between the 'Celts' and 'Germanics', but the term 'Germanic' is today mainly taboo amongst academia due to the association with National Socialist Germany. Decades of propaganda have made anything 'Germanic' as being a 'no-no', and thus acts to destroy a great part of our own English History. 

The weapon of the Irish God, The Dagda, is a Club; this has the properties of being able to deal Death at one end, and resurrection and new life at the other end. This is indeed interesting in that the Club is symbolic of the Tree in one sense, and the Wilmington Yew-Tree ('Tree of the Helmed Waendal') can be, like all Yew-Trees, symbolic of Death (in the churchyards) and of resurrection and new life (it is evergreen). Being 1,600 years old this dates back to early Anglo-Saxon times. The club shown on the hill-figure is clearly tree-like in that it shows where branches have been cut off to make the weapon. 

Like the Long Man, desecrated by the idiots known as 'Trinny and Susannah', and later by a phallus being drawn upon it, the Heil Giant was desecrated in the summer of 1989 by a Durex balloon bearing the slogan 'You're safer with Durex' landing upon the left fist, followed by an advertising poster campaign. As usual the ignorant corporations got it wrong in stating the figure was 'Bronze Age'. Then a 'Covid Mask' appeared as a publicity stunt. What with the Global Corporations and their stunts, and the 'New Age' approach to such ancient figures, things started to become distorted, and these hill figures became a mockery - nothing out of the ordinary here! 

The figure of Waendal wields a Club, and is that of 'The Joker' or 'The Jester' as shown in  the card-packs. It also resembles the Harlequin, which is one of the forms of the Wild Huntsman, the other being 'The Joker'. It is very likely that in the Long Man and the Heil Giant we have both forms of the Wild Hunter-God (Woden) - the April Fool (Joker) and the Herla-Kin (winter version as Orion the Hunter). From this we can work out that the name Heil was used for the Wild Hunter-God, and relates, no doubt, to the meaning of 'Hail' found in the Haegl-Rune - Hail = Destruction, Heil = Recreation i.e. to make 'whole again'.
