The Proto-English Theory

I have already discussed the idea that the so-called 'Anglo-Saxon' invasions were not quite what historians have theorised (and they are theories, that is all), and that Germanic peoples were here in these islands well before this time, even down to the time when these islands were part of At-al-land - the Northern Homeland. There is now growing evidence for this, and more and more people are taking up the task of righting the distortions and lies that have been used against the English Folk.

One of the latest to question the idea that these islands were 'Celtic' before the English 'invaded' is an archaeologist named Win Scutt, his argument being that a 'Germanic Language' existed here prior to the Romans. His argument is based upon the knowledge of an area near to Cricklade in the Cotswalds, where there are a number of place-names of interest -

North Cerney

Ampney Crucis

Ampney St. Mary

Ampney St. Peter

South Cerney

Down Ampney

Cerney Wick

Oaksey

Minety (Minet-ey)

Looking at a map of the area we can all clearly see that these villages take up a large area near to the source of the River Thames. From these names he concluded (logically) that the whole area was once a lake or stretch of water which contained numerous small island settlements. The names being Old English means that these settlements were of the Anglo-Saxons. The problem that he found was that a Roman road passes directly through the centre of the area, a road which would have been made after the waters of the lake or stretch of water had gone. This means that the Anglo-Saxons built these settlements before the coming of the Romans. 

Professor Stephen Oppenheimer of Oxford University also suggested much the same in his work The Origins of the British and suggested that the earlier migrations of the Germanic peoples was around the Stone Age. We would suggest that this goes back even further and that the English were here far earlier than this, as suggested by Tolkien in The Book of Lost Tales.

I have found another problem of this kind, but this relates to the South Wales coast, where we find so many English names scattered amongst the Welsh names (which if the land of England had once been occupied by the Welsh 'Celts' would surely show the same). Here we find Angle Bay and a place named Angle as well as Caldey Island (Tenby) and further west Ramsey Island (St. David's). Now, whoever named these two could not have known the meaning of the Old English suffix -ey since the names mean 'Cald Island Island' and 'Rams Island Island' which obviously make no sense. This means that the names are Old English or Anglo-Saxon and were altered at a much later time. It would not be out of the question that the English occupied certain coastal areas of what is now Wales, since we find proof that the later Vikings did from other place-names. The names certainly suggest a presence of the Anglo-Saxons in ancient times. There is, of course, the more northerly island of Anglesey - Angle's Island. 

Much of the early 'British' history is taken from Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) by Geoffrey of Monmouth, and he states in his introduction that the work was taken from '...a very ancient book in the British tongue...which Walter the archdeacon of Oxford brought from Britannia...' Here he refers to a work that Walter brought from 'Britannia' to Oxford, a strange statement to make since Oxford (we have always been told) is actually in Britain.  Yet here Britannia would seem to refer, not to these islands, but to Wales! Further proof of this can be found in a Welsh work called the Book of Llandalff which contains a section called The Privilege of St. Teilio written both in Latin and in Welsh. Here I quote the two versions of an important statement in Latin and Welsh -

'aregibus istis & princibus brittanae' - 'The Kings and Princes of Britannia'.

'breenhined hinn hatouysossiion cymry' - The Kings and Princes of Cymry'.

Here 'Britannia' and 'Cymry' are the same place - 'Cymry' is now spelt Cymru and is the name used by the Welsh for their country - Wales. Again, in the Life of King Alfred the Welsh monk Asser states -

'...Offa...ordered to be made between Britannia and Mercia a great dyke from sea to sea...'

Asser clearly states that Britannia is Wales! Mercia borders Wales on the west side of England. Another clue lies in the name 'East Anglia' which has been seen as the land of the 'East Angles' but the name itself implies that it is the eastern part of Anglia, Anglia being a Latin name for England. So basically the idea of 'Britain' is totally false, and England has always been England. Asser wrote this in 893 before the name 'England' had been used. 

In the Book of Llandaff we also find the statement -

'The borders of Britannia and Anglia towards Hereford...from both parts of Anglia and Britannia...'

This book was written around 1150 CE but it does prove that these islands were not known as 'Britannia' on the part we now call 'Wales'.Further back in time the Welsh monk Gildas wrote -

'...the Saxons received critically the order from the unlucky tyrant to settle (plant their terrible heels) on the eastern part of the island.'

This is a clear indication that the Saxon invaders were to settle in the Eastern part of these islands, and infers that there they would be able to integrate with their own Germanic Kinfolk. The 'unlucky tyrant' would be Vortigern. There is some indication of a better theory to these invasions, and that is that the English Tribes came here to aid their Heathen Germanic Kinfolk and to free them from the growing yoke of Judaeo-Christianity! The name 'The Saxon Shore' was obviously named such because the Saxons lived there already, and not due to Saxon Viking raiders moving off the eastern shores of England. The ideas suggested by Win Scutt (above) suggest that the west side (West Anglia?) was also Germanic well before the Romans. 

We are also left with the probability that much of these islands was inhabited by Germanic peoples, and not just here in England. DNA tests have already suggested this to scientists and archaeologists, and we know that the Scottish Lowlands were once known as Saxony, and that the Frisians occupied 'Dunfries' - 'Town of the Frisians'. We have seen also how parts of Wales are also Germanic in form, Pembrokeshire being known as 'Little England'. We have also discussed how the Picts ('Alban of the Yellow Hair') are Nordic as depicted, and that they were settled in a part of Wales too. It is quite possible that much of the history of the clash between the Britons and Saxons actually took place in Britannia - Wales. We have already looked at this so I shall not repeat myself again. 

The problem with history is that much of it has been distorted for political reasons, and we can see untold examples of this in our times, so finding the truth in older times is even more of a problem. This may also be true of language, since again linguists can only theorize in many cases since verification is impossible. And here we have the problem that linguists may have a set idea of history as given as the established view, and base their own ideas around that set theory - even though it may be a false one. 

This theme has been taken up by Dan Rayner in English Asatru News (www.englishnews.org) - 'Pure Germanic Britain - The Germanic Nature of the British Isles' and this article is certainly of interest, and adds weight to the controversy which is breaking on this subject. Dan's article puts to rest the 'Celtic Lie' and shows that it was used as a political tool and that the term 'Celts' was not used until very late times for anyone in these islands. 

What is coming to light is that - as we have said for many years now - the English were here in very ancient times, and the 'Anglo-Saxon Invasions' were (like the later Vikings) merely a 'top-up' and most likely (again like the Vikings) in answer to the need to combat the growing influence of Judaeo-Christianity that sought to destroy our own Folk-Religion. 

The YouTube video on the area in the Cotswalds can also be found on the Volkisch Runology Blog - links can be found on the Woden's Folk Website and the Saxon Heathen Website. 

The Mystery of the UFO

'The whole of South America was reduced to a state of panic when seventeen squadrons of UFOs flew silently by at a height of 300 metres.

I have told you about these implosion machines, where they were built in 1943-5, who built them in 1943-5, who stole them, and who destroyed them at the end of the war on the orders of Field Marshal Keitel. Many political and technical leading lights actually emigrated to Argentina.'

Viktor Schauberger - from Implosion Magazine No 94 - a letter to Aloys Kokaly 1954, quoted in The Fertile Earth. 

Touching on the subject of UFOs will always be problematic since we move into the realm of the 'crackpot' because the subject has attracted so many people whose logic seems to have gone out of the window. Looking at the World Wide Web we find a host of 'information' which seems rather more disinformation than anything to do with reality. And we seem to have two totally different forms of what are termed UFOs - one physical that are like aeroplanes, and one which seems to defy our own laws and may be be 'extra-dimensional'. The whole thing seems to have been tainted by the 'aliens from outer-space' ideas which come from the Hollywood films and propaganda machine. What we need to do is to take a look at this from a logical angle and sort the 'wheat' from the 'chaff'.

There does seem to be evidence of National Socialist Germany working on what we would term UFOs, or in this case perhaps better described as 'Flying Saucers', as can be seen from the quote by Viktor Schauberger. It is also quite possible, from his hint that they were 'stolen', that the science behind them (or a part of it) was taken by the Americans when, through 'Operation Paperclip' they took a good many German scientists to the USA. This could account for the post-war appearance of many 'Flying Saucers' which were based upon this stolen technology. From the quote we can also see that the Germans destroyed the evidence of their technology, but that high-level scientists escaped to Argentina after the war - which may account for the 'seventeen squadrons' over South America. (There is, of course, the alternative possibility that Schauberger did not refer to the Americans, but to the German scientists who took this technology to South America.)

Let me make it quite clear that I do believe that the 'alien invasions' type of stuff promoted in the films could be yet another means of scaremongering people, since what better way to bring the whole Earth together (into the proposed World State) than a threat to everyone from an outside source. This has already been done with 'Global Warming' and 'Climate Change', and the 'alien invasion' is merely another step in the process. (We have to beware of the 'Nazi-UFO' type of stuff also being used for the same purpose, since we have already seen signs of this in films.) The idea of these 'aliens' also figures in the study of ancient civilisations where it provides a quick and easy answer to lost civilisations of a very high nature which cannot today be explained. In promoting this it also blinds people to the idea that we were once a High Race that today has degenerated and decayed into what we see around us in the modern world. The power behind these ancient civilisations may well have come (and no doubt did) from 'outside', but in the sense of a divine source that uplifted the people of the time, raised them into a higher state of consciousness which resulted in the creation of a high civilisation. (*)

There are too many accounts of UFOs and 'Flying Saucers' to dismiss them out of hand, so we need to study them to make up our own minds on this one. I have, on one specific occasion, seen a 'ball of light' which acted much like the UFOs described, so I can vouch for the fact something does exist that matches the accounts of others. This was part of a mystical experience in 1997 which to me makes it more 'real'. But we must beware of the natural phenomena (like 'Chinese Lanterns') which have been seen as UFOs, and sometimes aeroplanes which have been mistaken for UFOs. This has to be kept in mind if we are to study this subject. 

I mentioned earlier that the typical UFO seems to defy the laws of this planet, and here we could be in the realms of some sort of object that moves between dimensions, moving quickly from one to the other and thus being able to defy normal laws. These type could be associated with the 'alien abductions' (a name which immediately throws doubt onto the subject) which seem to have taken two particular types -

The Grey Alien - which seems to be a form of race-less, sexless, uniform type which fits well with the order of being today upon the Earth. This would seem to be a archetype of Nietzsche's 'Ultimate Man'.

The Nordic - which seems to be trying to aid the upward development of mankind in some way, rather than mere 'experiments'. This would seem to be an archetype of the Sun-Man or Superman. 

(I am indebted to Clive Potter for the above ideas on 'alien abductions', and he is a UFO expert who developed this idea some years ago.)

Clive's ideas would certainly explain this phenomena to some degree, and he too sees this as some form of 'extra-dimensional' rather than 'extra-terrestrial' (in the sense of 'alien' as the word is used today) form. We seem to have plenty of recorded accounts from hundreds of years ago of people seemingly moving out of this dimension into another, and returning after many years even though the time seemed hours or days. This 'dislocation' of time seems to be part of the phenomena. This was found in Mapp's account of King Herla, a typical account of such a phenomena. This has also been recorded in accounts of 'abduction' which cannot be a coincidence. The stories of Alice in Wonderland and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis) are also based on this type of phenomena. 

We must also differentiate between 'Flying Saucers' propelled by 'explosion' (combustible) and those described by Schauberger, powered by implosion, both very different methods, the last being revolutionary in that time (and indeed now for that matter). Implosion - it seems - is an Aryan Science since it does not create destruction, and is not based upon the destruction of matter. Schauberger's ideas seem based upon a vortex of water which was used for powering machines, but there is also the force known as the Vril-Force which is a Universal Energy-Force, called Chi (China) or Ki (Japan) and which has many names by many peoples. Maybe Schauberger's experiments produced this force, and there are hints that there were groups like the Vril Society in Germany also working on similar lines.

This post has merely scratched the surface on this subject but it may encourage others to make a study in order to find clues to what this phenomena really is. The problem, as stated earlier, is compounded by the use of the World Wide Web which is a prime source of disinformation as it is of information. Peryt Shou, a German Rune-Magician working prior to WWII, made a remarkable statement foretelling that mankind would be stung by the 'Cosmic Spider' and that a 'great stream of destruction' would be unleashed on the planet. The World Wide Web (**) would thus be spun by the Cosmic Spider (***). Whilst trying to discover the truth we must not be sucked into the trap of illusion spun by this Evil Force, this would only lead to ridicule of anything we say. On the other hand we must not allow this type of disinformation to put us off from trying to unravel this great mystery. 

(*) This is like the Strong One From Above idea whence a god-force or avatar incarnates as the Folk-Soul of a People, and in doing so raises the consciousness of the whole nation and thus a high civilisation arises from almost nothing. History seems to suggest this happened in very ancient times, but this is not a thing of the far distant past, and we have proof in this late age.

(**) Christian Fundamentalists seem to see 'Satan' in everything and everywhere, even in the most mundane objects. One of these is the three 'scratch' marks on the cans of Monster energy drinks which they see as the Number 666 because these marks look like the Hebrew letter Vau, which has the Number 6 related to it. On this occasion I am not going to dismiss this out of hand since the letter Vau, tripled, would be 666, and as one Christian Fundamentalist did point out the letter Vau can also be used as a W, as can be seen from Jeho-V-ah and Yah-W-eh. Since this is the case then the Number 666 would become - www. The name of the energy drink may well not be out of place - MONSTER! What is striking is that the term 'monster' derives from 'man' and the 'Number of The Beast' is the 'Number of a Man'. Maybe such trivial things are designed to take the p... out of the masses, telling us all what they are doing? That this number was usurped by the Beast may also be seen when we consider that Miguel Serrano states that the Hyperborean Sacred Number is 555, which is vvv in Roman Numerals. 

(***) We have shown elsewhere how the 'Spider' theme was used in various places of the world in 2012 through the erection of large spiders in different cities of the world. It is Shelob who stings and stuns Frodo of the Shire-Folk - but this is only temporary and he awakens to fulfil his Cosmic Destiny. 

Folk-Aid Program

There may be some of you who - like me - have been stockpiling a small amount of foodstuffs for any emergency that may occur. If you have not done so then I would recommend that you at least stock up with a little for future use in an emergency. Foresightedness is not a key thing in modern society - but it should be! I am now going to look into the next stage of this process of Folk-Survival.

There is a need to prepare ourselves for any emergency, but we also have to consider that we are part of a greater Folk-Community whose survival as a whole is far more important than any individual within it. We need to take a wider look at the process of survival, and here I am going to take this a stage further in our work of the Edel-Project. 

There may well be times when any one of us falls upon hard times, and there can be many reasons for this -

1. Job loss, where the individual loses his job.

2. Marriage break-up, which is not unusual in today's society (believe me); this can mean a loss of home too.

3. Dire financial problems that can occur with anyone.

4. A serious social breakdown, which so far we have avoided but which has happened many times in the past.

We have to consider all of these problems that any one of us can face, and here we see why we have promoted the idea of stockpiling at least a small supply of food that would keep the individual or family for a while, giving time to sort out a solution. 

Now we need to look further and wider into what we should do in this respect, for there is an English Folk-Community out there who have vulnerable people (the old, sick and the very young) who may not be able to cope with such problems and need some help - in a nation where help is denied to our own kind. Anyone - yes anyone - who promotes and brings into action the idea that we can look after the English Community is now being denied that right! Recent events here in England have proven that beyond doubt. But do we need an 'organisation' to do this - and my answer is No!

If everyone who stockpiles food for their own use would be willing - in times of emergency - to aid their own English Folk-Community then we shall be in a position  to help our own when the time comes. The idea of a Folk-Aid Program that we set up as individuals without an organisation would be there ready for any future social breakdown, or for when we see people who are our own Folk-Comrades, our friends, our neighbours etc, fall upon hard times. 

In the latest Sword of Wayland the emphasis was placed upon the creation of strong independent groups that will be able to withstand the growing oppression of our Folk here in England, by an oppressive regime whose time is running out. If every group can build upon itself, and can create a stockpile of food for emergencies in order to help each other, their families and after that the vulnerable in their local communities, then we shall be ready for any assault upon our Folk. Self-preservation must give way to self-sacrifice and to the survival of the greater whole. This is the mark of our Folk from very ancient times.

Of course, there is a need for caution. I am well aware that when you give help to some people they merely take the opportunity to ask for more.... and more.... and more....This is part of this modern corrupt society based upon individual egoism and self-centredness. So we need to ensure that when we help it is only where it is necessary and where we know that this help is not being abused in any way. It is also a fact that when people give help to others, those others may well then not try to help themselves - modern 'charities' have proven  the rightness of this statement. 

It is a fact that has been proven that help these days is given by certain charitable groups, but that aid is given to the 'drop-outs' within this society, drug-addicts, alcoholics and those whose 'illness' (sic!) is self-inflicted through their own weak willed existence. These people are the ones who do not need our help, but there are those of our own who fall upon hard time, and we have a duty and responsibility to help our own. If we do not take steps to help each other, then our Folk deserve to end their existence upon this Earth!

The modern 'charity' grew out of the Judaeo-Christian society where 'Christians' spent their lives crushing down everyone and everything in their path for profit and gain, and when it came to their letter days, in old age, they realised the possibility they may not have a place in 'heaven', so thought up the idea of 'charity' to give away a small portion of their wealth to others to appease their 'God' and thus gain a place in 'heaven'. This is much like being a right bastard throughout life and suddenly recognising 'Jesus' at the last minute to gain a place in 'heaven'. An illusion but one that must have struck a cord with untold thousands through the years. 

This is not our aim, for our place in Valhalla is gained through the Eternal Struggle against the Jotun - the 'anti-world' - and our aim is to give help to our own, help where there is none! Where our people are denied the right to look after their own through the use of 'organisations' - as other 'communities' are allowed to do - then we must do this as individuals. This must be our aim now, to create a network of individuals and groups who are prepared to help and assist their own families, their own Folk-Comrades, and then the vulnerable within their own Folk-Communities - here in England, and everywhere that the Woden Folk-Community spreads its message. 

The War for Middle-Earth

'Now Sauron's lust and pride increased, until he knew no bounds, and he determined to make himself master of all things in Middle-Earth.....He brooked no freedom nor any rivalry, and he named himself Lord of the Earth. A mask he still could wear so that if he wished he might deceive the eyes of men, seeming to them wise and fair. But he ruled rather by force and fear, if they might avail; and those who perceived his shadow spreading over the world called him the Dark Lord and named him the Enemy.'

'The Silmarillion' - J.R.R. Tolkien.

This short quote from The Silmarillion sums up the essence of Sauron, who we must not forget is the servant of another dark power - Morgoth - just like the Demiurge is the power behind the Dark Lord. Sauron is a liar, a deceiver, and rules through force and fear, just as we find with the Global Powers that rule Middle-Earth today. But we should remember that it is an alliance of Gondor, Rohan and the Light-Elves that face the Dark Lord and his Dark Orcs in battle, and it is the humble and lowly Shire-Folk that finally cause the destruction of the One Ring of Power though it is an act of self-destruction really since it is the Gollum (Golem) that finally destroys itself together with the One Ring of Power. 

Just as the Brood of Loki was raised in the Ironwoods the first shadows arose in the Mirkwood where the power of Sauron re-emerged after its defeat at the end of the Second Age. Sauron, we are told, came out of the wastes of the East, taking up his abode in the south of Mirkwood -

'It was the Shadow of Sauron and the sign of his return. For coming out of the wastes of the East he took up his abode in the south of the forest, and slowly he grew and took shape there again; in a dark hill he made his dwelling and wrought there his sorcery, and all folk feared the Sorcerer of Dol Guldor, and yet they knew not at first how great was their peril.'

'The Silmarillion' - J.R.R. Tolkien.

Nothing can exist without its opposite, and so the growing power of the Dark Lord must be countered by the Powers of Light and Order, and thus shall arise a counter-power to challenge the Forces of Darkness and Chaos - the Dark Shadows that arise in the Darkness of Night at the End of Time -

'Even as the first shadows were felt in Mirkwood there appeared in the west of Middle-Earth the ISTARI (*), whom men called the WIZARDS. None knew at that time whence they were...But afterwards it was said among the Elves that they were messengers sent by the Lords of the West to contest the power of Sauron, if he should arise again, and to move Elves and Men and all living things of good will to valiant deeds. In the likeness of Men they appeared, old but vigorous, and they changed little with the years, and aged but slowly, though great cares lay on them; great wisdom they had, and many powers of mind and hand...'

'The Silmarillion' - J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Istari or Wizards were the Messengers of the Gods sent down to Middle-Earth to 'contest the power of Sauron' (The Dark Lord) and to 'move Elves, Men and all living things of good will to valiant deeds'. This can only be done through positive thought that wills positive action and that achieves positive results. Our English Flag - the Cross of Fro-Ing - is a positive symbol (+) which is why we still use this symbol rather than trying to totally replace it - it is not a xtian symbol and it is not a Norman symbol, since it pre-dates both of these going back into very ancient times. It is also symbolic of the healing of the legs of Baldaeg's Foal, and thus of his resurrection. 

One of the Dark Powers allied to the original Morgoth was Ungoliant - the Great Spider - who is paralleled in Lord of the Rings by Shelob, and it can be no coincidence that the Dark Powers rule through the World Wide Web which is merely a materialistic symbol of this ancient force that seeks to control Middle-Earth. The great battles depicted in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana are reflected in the battles outlined in the Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings, as well as World War I and World War II - especially the latter which was Total War of Devastation - the 'Abomination of Desolation'. 

Spider - The Hague 2012

Spider - Geneva 2012

There are two characters in Lord of the Rings that I would like to analyse in order to clarify their archetypal role in this epic English Mythology - Aragorn and Gandalf. Firstly I will look at the figure of Aragorn, son of Arathorn and of the Royal Line of Elendil. He is the Rightful King or the Once and Future King whose lineage is through the Dunedain who were originally called the Numenoreans. The Numenoreans were a High Race whose downfall occurred, we are told by Tolkien, because they mixed their Divine Blood with the lower races, and this blood-pollution caused their degeneracy and eventual downfall when many of them were subverted by the wiles of Sauron - the Dark Lord. We are told in The Silmarillion how this High Race lost its power and wisdom and its long life-span due to its mixing its Divine Blood -

'For the blood of the Numenoreans became much mingled with that of other men, and their power and wisdom was diminished, and their life-span was shortened...'

Aragorn was one of the Rangers whose descent was from the Dunedain ('Edain of the West'), the Edain being the dwellers in Numenor which was a land prepared for them by the Valar (Gods) in the First Age. This would be the equivalent of At-al-land, which is centred around North-West Europe. Aragorn, as one of the Rangers, was named 'Strider' since his title 'Aragorn' was such that he could not take it up until he recognised himself as the Rightful King. 

Before Aragorn could take up his destiny he had to acquire the 'Shards of Narsil' which was the sword broken by Sauron when wielded by Elendil in the battle at the end of the Second Age. The sword was reforged by the Elven Race  -

'The Sword of Elendil was forged anew by Elvish Smiths, and on its blade was traced a device of Seven Stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes; for Aragorn, son of Arathorn was going to war upon the marches of Mordor.'

The reforged sword was named Anduril - 'Flame of the West' - which reflects the name of the Hun-Sword given to Hengest - 'Battle-Flame' - and it also suggests the Flaming Sword wielded by Kalki Avatar - the Last Avatar. Aragorn, of course, is the archetype of The Last Avatar who arises from the soul of the people in their direst hour. Aragorn takes a leading role in the battles against the Dark Lord and his Orc Armies. 

Gandalf is one of the Istari or Wizards that arise in order to counter the growing power of Sauron; Tolkien based the figure of Gandalf on Woden, with perhaps some characteristics of Merlin the Magician - the same archetype originally. In the saga Gandalf dies and is 'reborn' again, this being an initiation from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White, in which his power grows tremendously, needed to counter the dark sorcery of Sauron. Gandalf plays a leading roles in the whole of the saga from beginning to end, and is a guide and a leader of men. 

Gandalf's role is to encourage men to great deeds, to fight for their freedom, to fight against the Dark Powers, and he is responsible for urging on both the Rohirrim and the Men of Gondor to wage war against the Dark Forces. He is also responsible for urging on the Hobbits to fulfil their role in the struggle - the Shire-Folk. Gandalf also takes part in the battles, though this is not the role of Woden in his archetypal myth. Gandalf held the ring known as Narya (an anagram of 'Aryan'), and the Sign of Gandalf was the Feoh-Rune - the Primal Rune. 

The Hobbits or Shire-Folk - clearly based upon the humble Englishman - played a key role in the destruction of the One Ring of Power. It is truly the Shire-Folk who play a key role in the struggle against Sauron and the Dark Forces.Although small, their courage and bravery excelled and is an example to all that undertake this great struggle. 

The Rohirrim also take a great part in this struggle, and Tolkien in one instance refers to them as the 'Norsemen' which clearly refers to the Vikings. However, the names of all those of Rohan are Old English and their alternative name Eorlingas is Old English. Rohirrim means 'horse-riders' and here we see a link to the most ancient Sacae-Sani or Aryan Scythians - the Saxons. The Eorlingas are descended from Eorl the Young and Tolkien informs us that they were kindred to the Kings of Gondor originally, descended from Eldacar, and thus Numenoreans. 

Saruman the White was one of the Istari, indeed was the greatest of the Istari, but his lust for power caused him to make a pact with Sauron and he thought he could at first rival Sauron in might - a folly that coule never be achieved. Thus, like the White Traitors, he betrayed his kinsmen and attempted to build an army of Uruk Hai (Orcs) that besieged Helm's Deep but were defeated there. In the film Saruman is thus defeated and held prisoner in the Tower of Isengard, but in the book it is Saruman and his aid, Grimr Wormtongue, that at the end take over the Shires before being defeated and expelled by the Shire-Folk led by the hero-Hobbits of the saga. 

In the Lord of the Rings we have all the archetypes on both sides of the struggle, and the Final Conflict between the Light Powers (Gondor-Rohan-Elves-Hobbits) and the Monsters of Chaos - Orcs, Goblins, Uruk-Hai and the other renegades and traitors of men. This results in the victory for the Powers of Light and the defeat and destruction of Sauron, the Gollum (Golem), the Dark Orcs and the renegades of men. Both sides lose a great deal in this struggle, but order and stability return with the Return of the King, and the White Tree (White Race) flourishes again from the seedling sown from the tree destroyed by Sauron. 

'Yet in that hour was put proof that which Mithrandir had spoken, and help came from the hands of the weak when the Wise faltered. For, as many songs have since sung, it was the Perianath, the Little People, dwellers in hillsides and meadows, that brought them deliverance.

For Frodo the Halfling, it is said, at the bidding of Mithrandir took on himself the burden, and alone with his servant he passed through peril and darkness and came at last in Sauron's despite even to Mount Doom; and there into the Fire where it was wrought he cast the Great Ring of Power, and so at last it was unmade and its evil consumed.'

It was the humble Halflings or Shire-Folk that became the greatest of heroes and destroyed the Ring of Power, destroying the power of Sauron. Don't write off the English, no matter how things look today!

(*) Note the resemblance between the name ISTARI and OSTARA - the Goddess of Dawn and Regeneration. 

The Three Cauldrons - Part Two

"Wicca is an eclectic mixture of pagan religion and ceremonial magic. It is not the religion of the Celts, but the spirit remains the same. As modern witch and Jungian psychologist Vivian Crowley states, it owes much to the Dionysian, and it is a paganism of 'ecstatic vision, of trance, of the loss of individual consciousness and its merging into Nature...' "

Quoted from Warriors of the Wasteland by John Grigsby. (My underlining).

I have quoted this passage so that people can understand why we need a spiritual discipline that runs counter to this type. Wicca may think itself 'different' but from what is said here it has the very same aims as the disciplines of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism etc. which are the major religions and spiritual disciplines in the world today. This is why Wicca is acceptable whereas we are not! Whether it be 'Union with God', 'Union with Nature' or 'Union with the Cosmic Consciousness' the aim is to achieve a loss of individual consciousness which in real terms means being plunged back into the Primal Chaos or Primal Soup. Individual consciousness (ego) was the gift of Hoenir, given to Man in order that he Know Himself and become self-conscious, which is a necessity if Man is to become the God-Man or Divine Being that has long been prophesied. The aim of most spiritual disciplines is to achieve Samadhi which is the 'Union with the One' whereas the separation of the ego, and its enhancement and transformation into the Absolute I is the aim of what is know as Kaivalia.

As I stated in the first part this work was sparked by a reading of some stuff done by Steven Mc Nallen of the Asatru Folk Assembly, whom I am indebted to for bringing up some of the ideas that came through from it. From a Word to a Word we are led to a Word. This is how things work and if what we can do can stimulate thought in others then our work is not in vain. Part Two will continue the study of the Three Cauldrons.

Wyrd's strength

cool-cold sea

Son's liquid.

The Well of Wyrd is sometimes named Odroerir and a draught from the well is 'Wyrd's strength'. 'Son's Liquid' is from the Well of Mimir at the Cauldron of Son, and the 'cool-cold sea' must be Hvergelmir at the Cauldron of Bodn. These make up the draught in the Hel-Horn given to the dead when they first enter the Realm of the Dead - Hela. If Hvergelmir is 'the cool-cold sea' then this area is where the Fire-Serpent lies dormant - Fire-in-Water. So although the liquid is 'cool-cold' it contains Fire within it - just as the clouds contain the lightning. The three liquids from the Sacred Wells are contained in the Aurochs-Horn (Urarhorn or Ur-Ar-Horn). The Hel-Horn has the Mythical Serpent Fann engraved and painted upon it. 

The idea of a 'cool-cold sea' suggests that this centre is associated with cool water that is heated. If we relate this to Hvergelmir (which we have) then this suggests the 'roaring' associated with 'boiling' water. We should note that around the lowest centre (Hvergelmir) lies the Serpent-Dragon Nidhog - Kundalini. This also suggests to me that this is the Sleeping Goddess who is 'frozen in ice' and who can only be freed through the heat of the Black Sun of the Inner Earth. Like the Earth itself, she is protected from the freezing cold by the White Wolf-Skin (the white snow). The Black Sun would here be within the area of the Hara since this is the source of heat that will melt the Ice and free the Sleeping-Goddess. 

Those who have looked at the Guerilla Survivalism site from Wulfinga will have seen how we use the term FAH to represent the needs of fire-lighting - Fuel - Air - Heat. This is at a physical level, but the same formula can be applied to the methods we are going into here -

Fuel - The Ur-Essence contained at this centre.

Air - The 'Vital Breath' (ond) through rhythmic breathing (through the abdomen as it should be). 

Heat - The heat is actually generated by the Fanning of the Fuel with the Vital Breath - this is felt as a heat generated by the body, in my experience this moves up and down the Spinal Column. 

The name Hvergelmir means 'roaring kettle' which itself suggests the heating of a liquid, or the fermenting of a liquid (which produces heat). Kettle- Cold Water-Heat. The Brosingamen Necklace has to be retrieved by Hama from the waters into which Loki plunged with the necklace. If we place the Ur-Rune within this lower cauldron this is connected to 'drizzle' and to 'vapour' which results from the heating of liquid. This cauldron is named Bodn which suggests the German Boden which means 'soil' or 'land' - Earth. 

The Solar Plexus Centre or Heart Centre we have linked to the Lagu-Rune which we can very simply link to the idea of 'motion' (as this cauldron is called) since the word leikr means 'to spring up' or 'to set into motion' and this we can see in the Laukaz-Rune. The Lagu-Rune itself, in its shape, suggests a 'wave of the sea' or even a 'fountain of water' which 'springs up' (leikr) from the ground. Whatever the case it suggests 'movement' and the 'setting into motion' mentioned before. Since this area is linked to the blood ('son') then red seems the suitable colour for it. 

The Third Eye Centre is named Odroerir ('wod-roarer') and is linked to the Well of Wyrd which has been called Odroerir. This is termed hvitr aurr which makes white (hvitr) suited to this area. This we have linked to the As-Ansuz Rune which is the Rune of Asgard. 

There are few references to the three containers of Three Cauldrons but we find two obscure ones -

'Bodn's growing billow' - Einar Skalagram

'Son's reed-grown grass-edge' - Eilif Gudrunson

The former suggests that this area is indeed the area of 'incubation' as Steve McNallen has stated, since 'growing billow' suggests a growing 'surge' or 'swell' of water, i.e. the beginning of life or movement from something static. The 'reed-grown grass-edge' of Son suggests a stretch of water, a lake - the Lagu-Rune. 

I would now like to look at the role of the Vedic God named Agni who is the equivalent to Hama-Heimdall and even to Ing, who we shall refer to as Inga since it is 'AGNI' spelled backwards. I am going to list the roles of Agni here -

Outer Form - The Sun

                     - The Lightning (Fire-in-Water)

Hidden Form - The sap in plants.

                       - The blood in animals and man

Angi is -

- The Sun

- The Lightning

- The Hearth Fire

- The Sacrificial Fire

- The cremation-Fire

- 'Liquid-Fire' (Sap and Blood)

The 'parents' of Agni are the Two-Sticks that rub together to make the Nyd-Fire; the Nyd-Rune is a glyph of the Fire-Bow at one level. Agni is also named Apam Napat - 'Son of the Waters' since he is Fire-from-Water, especially as the lightning from the clouds. He works here at three levels -

Earth - Friction-Fire

Heavens - The Sun

The Atmosphere - The Lightning

Fire and heat is what moves the sap and quickens life; in the cold winters heat is lacking and the sap withdraws into the roots. Agni is thus seen as the Vital Spark or the Flame of Life. 

I have moved slightly away from the main subject here to show that 'fire' and thus the 'Fire-Serpent' are associated with Agni-Fire or Inga-Fire. The Fire of Kingship is called hvareno by the Iranians, and was the sole property of the Aryan Nations. This concept - hvarena - seems to be connected in some way to the Brosingamen Necklace since both are stolen and hidden in a lake, the first retrieved by Kau Khusrau and the second by Hama-Heimdall. The hvarena is held by the goddess Ardvi Sura Anahita and the Brosingamen Necklace by Freya. 

In the quote at the top we find that the Three Cauldrons are indeed linked to the Three Wells or Three Fountains - Wyrd's Well, Well of Mimir and Hvergelmir. It is thus correct to say that the Sacred Mead is held in these three wells, as well as in the three cauldrons or vats that Woden obtained the Mead from, held by Suttung and guarded by Gunlod. But this is not the only place where the Sacred Mead is held.

There is another legend held about the Sacred Mead, and one that we should all know in passing, though the details would not be well known.

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water;

Jack fell down and broke his crown

And JIll came tumbling after.

Indeed, it was not 'water' that Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch - it was the Sacred Mead. Jack and Jill are names corrupted from Hyuki and Bil, the  children of Vidhfinnr the Giant. The 'water' they went to collect was held in a bucket carried on a pole between them, the pole in the original tale being called Simil or Sumil a name related to Sumble through the root *suml meaning 'brewing, ale, mead'. 

It would seem that there was originally a source of mead at a hidden place in Jotunheim, and this was stolen from Jotunheim and taken to Nokkve's Ship, where 'Bragi, unharmed, refreshed himself' or 'renewed the vigour of life'. Bragi, of course, is the God of Poetry and a Son of Woden. The name Nokkvi/Nokkver means 'ship-owner' or 'ship's captain' - this ship is the Moon. 

Mani - the Moon-God - sees the children (Hyuki and Bil) who fetch the mead at night, filling their pail from the fountain Byrgir. They carry it way in a brimming pail on a pole on their shoulders. Mani takes them and they then remain with him - he adopts them. It is important to understand that the Moon is a source of the Mead of Inspiration and this can be proven by the fact that the Soma of the Hindus, which is the Soma-Medhu ('Soma-Mead') too, is connected to the Moon, as Agni is connected to the Sun. The Soma was concealed on the Moon. 

We can find evidence of the stealing of the Sacred Mead from Vidhfinnr, who is termed Fin in an Old English source, when we find an enmity between Fin and Nefr/Hnaf (Moon-God) who steals the Sacred Mead from Jotunheim. Nefr is the founder of the Niflungs, and Fin is also called Sumbl Finnakonungr and Svigdir. The latter title is interesting since it means 'The Champion Drinker' and the root of the name is swig meaning 'to drink deep draughts' (Old English) - we still use the term 'to swig ale'. Svigdir may well be the Jotun whom Woden had to impersonate when he entered Knit Mountain to steal the Sacred Mead from Gunlod who guarded it. 

The Moon is known to affect the subconscious mind and no doubt to work on the Right-Brain; it certainly affects dreams that we have, and makes for more lucid dreams at certain phases. This is what is meant by the Mead of Inspiration because it gives insight into hidden things. So the Sacred Mead is also contained in the Moon, guarded by the 'Man in the Moon' (Mani). He carries a lantern and a bundle of thorn-twigs which he uses to punish evil-doers. The 'lantern' suggests that the Moon has an 'artificial light' which it has, it's light is not of it's own but that of the Sun in the Lower-World. There are so many links between the Myth of Knit Mountain and that of the Moon-Mead that this can be no coincidence. 

Steve McNallen equates the Three Cauldrons with the three Arya-Castes and this a a relevant point we need to consider -

Lower Cauldron - Bodn - Earth - The Craftsman/Landsman Caste (Ceorl) which embodies fertility and virility and the prolonging of life. This would be the genital area which is part of this centre. This is the Hara-Centre which represents the Vril-Force that is involved in this area, as a creative-force. This is the centre of the 'Life-Force', and used in the Martial Arts. 

Middle Cauldron - Son - Blood - This is the Warrior-Aethlinga Caste (Earl) which also includes the 'arms' (the area associated with the Warrior). This also embodies the idea of the 'White Blood Cells' which are the 'Einheriar' who protect the World Order-Cosmic Order (and the ordered working of the body). This is the Heart-Centre and the Solar-Plexus Centre. 

Upper Cauldron - Odroerir - Spirit - This is the Priest-King Caste and the highest caste (Kon) which is the area of inspiration; Rig-Earl masters the Holy Runes, inspired in this area by the Mead of Inspiration. (The term 'inspire' is itself connected to 'spirit'.) 

We must look now at the parallel traditions from other Indo-European sources that give more understanding of the Mead of Inspiration -

Amrita -

The alexir of immortality

Deathlessness

Nectar of the Gods (i.e. Honey of the Gods)


Ambrosia -

Food of the Gods

No death


Immortality is the aim of the Aryan Initiation as can be seen in various different traditions, from India to Egypt and all over the area covered by the Indo-Europeans. Miguel Serrano uses the term A-mor for this, which is a mirror of 'Roma' and means 'No death'. There is also a secret contained in the legends that tell of the re-awakening of the Pineal Gland, for this area has the Amun's Horn or Ammon's Horn and we can see that Amun is The Hidden God. The terms below relate to Amun -

Amun - Egypt

Aum - India 

Amen - Christian Bible

This is the area where we have to retain the Blood Memory when we pass into shadow, through the ritual outlined elsewhere, taken from the Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. This fits with what we have been doing and can now be incorporated into our work. 

We can also equate the Three Cauldrons with the Three Worlds (or layers) -

UR - Hara - Hela/Niflheim

LAGU - Centre - Midgard

AS - Upper - Asgard

Hela is 'cool-cold', yet the name Niflheim stems from the same root as the term 'nebula' and refers to a 'mist'; Niflheim is the 'Mist-World' and placing the Ur-Rune here suits that well. Midgard is the 'world in motion' since it is always becoming and under the Laws of Wyrd (Wyrd = to become). Asgard stems from a Root *as- which means 'to be' and refers to the state of being rather than becoming. Miguel Serrano associates this area (Third Eye-Crown) to the Swan and to Thule, and we find that swans swim in the waters of the Well of Wyrd. 

In our Wodenic Lore the HE-SHE referred to by Miguel Serrano is ER-ERCE, which can be found in the charm for the land. The 'Third Eye' is the Eye of the Dragon (Dra-urg) and here is the Fire of the Vril.

As I have stated at the start, the aim is now to (re-)create a working spiritual discipline (Ar-Kan Rune-Lag) that will counter the counter-initiation which seeks to submerge the ego into the 'All' or 'One'. In order to do so we need to use a working system that can be found in our own Northern Lore, even though we may have to look elsewhere to find what we need, and further develop what we know. We have a 'hero' in the form of the Divine Fool since this is Parsifal ('Pure Fool') or Percival (Perce a val = 'to cross the valley'). Parsifal is the Son of the Widow and is Horus, Hamlet, Ing, Wid-Ar, HelgiH and similar archetypes. Just as important is his comrade - Gawain. 

Also important to these ideas is the son of Parsifal - Lohengrin - for he is the Swan-Knight (Sceaf) who leaves behind him three treasures -

A Sword

A Horn

A Ring

The Horn is needed to awaken Gods and Men to the Final Battle, the Sword is needed to fight that Final Battle, and the Ring of Power is needed to win that battle. The mystery of the Kaivalia is found in the Kaula Tantra and the hidden order that held these secrets was the Kula Brotherhood. In this we have yet another 'hero' to look to for guidance - Hercules or Herackles, whose name stems from Hera (Heri) - Kula. His 'Twelve Labours' go through the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Our struggle is the Blood-Struggle and we have 'labours' to do when we take this up. We wage this Holy War on a physical-psychical-spiritual level, and we have to work on all of these levels. 

Far too many of the 'New Age' adherents try to tell us that we can awaken the Kundalini through a 'forced' awakening, which may well happen, but will not produce the spiritual elevation we seek. This will awaken through our own spiritual development, and through the deeds we do in life, the heroic deeds that aid the survival of our Folk and that aid the Gods in their struggle. All the 'wishy-washy' mumbo-jumbo of the 'New-Agers' will never achieve the evolutionary jump from Man to Superman, which can only be done through the strengthening of the ego and the transmuting of the ego (lead) into the Ultimate I (Gold).
