The Mark of God

 

Most people are aware of the Mark of the Beast - 666 which is found in Revelation 13: 16-18. We know that this refers to the Electronic Fund Transfer System which is now developing into the Central Bank Digital Currency which will bring in tighter and tighter controls by the Central Bank. What many people are not aware of is another 'mark' mentioned in Revelation 7: 3-4 -

"...Hurt not the earth, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

And I heard the number of them that were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty-four thousand...."

Now, in order to understand that the so-called 'Christian Bible' was rewritten in the time of James I, and that it is usually understood that one of those doing so was Sir Francis Bacon, who was an occultist. In the above statement we have a very strange wording - 'till we have sealed the servants of our God', strange since Christians are always blabbing about there being only one God. This statement here parallels that of the 'new name of God' mentioned earlier about the 'White Stone' (White Stone of Ing - the Firestone). Neither of these statements makes any sense when considered own the light of the 'monotheism' of Christianity. 

This mark, like the 'Mark of the Beast' is placed on the forehead, but this is a seal and not connected to the same ideas as the Central Bank Digital Currency, is is there to protect the bearer. I am going to try to shed light on this since well before I had even studied Revelation I had a very strange dream of a Horned God placing a 'Mark' in my forehead - the Circle-X as in the image at the start of this post. This I never understood before, but some strange things happened over the past couple of days that seem to bring some light from this mystery. What follows here may well be a bit chaotic but please bear with me since this is guesswork in the main but seems to begin to fit a pattern of interest.

I have looked at this before but will go through this with some new ideas that have come to light. Firstly, there are a number of Info-European Roots which give a clue as to this - these are used in regard to Folk-Etymology and not 'Academic Etymology'. 

IE Root *gheu- 

To yawn, to gape.

To call, to invoke. (Leading to the word 'God'.)

To pour an offering.

Chaos.

IE Root *ghai- (old form *ghae-i-) 

To yawn, to gape.

Old English gina/ginian and Germanic *ginon 

Yawn.

Old Norse gap meaning 'chasm', Old Norse gapa meaning 'to open the mouth'.

Old English coma meaning 'jaw'. 

Old English gidig/gydig meaning 'giddy', in the original sense of 'Possessed by a God'. 

IE Root *ghud - meaning 'gut'. Germanic *gut and Old English guttas meaning gut or intestines. 

IE Root *gheus - A gust of wind, a cold blast of wind. *gudan meaning 'god'. 

Clearly, here we have root-sounds that are linked to 'God' and to 'The Void' - known to us as Ginn-Unga-Gap. We can add to these the Old Norse Ginn which refers to a Divine Power, and also to a 'Fool', and to 'Folly' (Wind-Bag). Ginn-Unga-Gap, as I have shown before is the 'Gap - Offspring of Ginn'. So, in the Be-Ginn-Ing we have the concept of Ginn, which seems to me to be linked to the Cosmic Joker in one sense, since this is the power ruling over our era - the Age of Chaos and Dissolution. Since we find the twin opposite forces of Ice and Fire that are there, but since there is no movement ('ok gustr') they do not interact. It is the movement by which the Cosmos is whisked into being - the 'Big Bang' if you like. The 'Gaping Void' is Chaos, which was there at the Be-Ginn-Ing and returns at the end of a Cosmic Cycle. 

The circle is an 'enclosure' which in 'Nought' (Not - No-Thing) but which contains 'All' within itself. The Number Sequence starts at O = The Void, the No-Thing, 1 = The All, and then 2 = Duality (Ice and Fire - The Conflict of Opposites). The Circle-Dot was symbolic of 'God' as The One in The All.

The 'X' within the Circle is the Gifu-Rune or Gebo-Rune and the word 'gift' stems from the IE Root *ghabh- which means both 'to give' and 'to receive'. This is important since this shows a two-way idea - to give out and to get back. From this we get the Old English giefan and the Old Norse gefa, as well as the Goddesses Gefion and Gefn. The letter-change within the Germanic Tongues is akin to the English elf and German alb. The Gyfu-Rune shows up no less than 8 times within different runes -

Gyfu - Gar - Edel - Stan - Daeg - Man - Haegl - Ior.

The Ginfaxi Symbol used in Grima Wrestling is based upon the Ginn once again, and the key to these mysteries seem to lie in The Primal Void or Ginn-Unga-Gap. One of Woden's by-names in Ginnar, and through my own experience Woden is the April Fool - 'The Hooded Man'. The Ginn-Faxi is the Swastika, and this seems to be a prime symbol of the Hidden Force in The Void - the Force of Creation. This is the Fire-Whisk by which Mundelfore whisked the Cosmos into Creation - Mundelfore, in my own view, is Waendal, and thus linked to the Long Man of Wilmington. The Gar-Rune (Gift of Ing) is, as I have shown before, possibly shown as a 'Hidden Swastika', just as the Gibo-Rune in the version used by Guido von List is used as a 'Hidden Swastika'. 

'God-in-the-Blood' - The DNA Spiral shown here symbolised by the Ing-Rune, made up of Twin Gyfu-Runes. XX Chromosomes - Female, and XY Chromosomes - Male. These are shown on the White Stone of Ing, where the 'gift' given to our Folk is 'FIRE'. 

Does the 'X' within the Circle refer to Ginn that existed at the Be-Ginn-Ing within The Void; if so then this is the Creative Force or Pure Intelligence known as All-Father, and also God (from which we get 'Godan' or 'Guodan'). Gyfu-Rune - Edel-Rune - Daeg-Rune, all three of which contain the Gyfu-Rune. The word 'God' comes from the IE Root *gheu- as does 'The Void', 'Chaos', and 'Ginn'. 

In Hindu Lore we find the offering of what is 'clarified butter' - Ghee; however, this is symbolic in its origins. This seems to be linked to *gheu- through sound alone, though the root-word is the IE Root *g(w)her- which means 'to heat', 'to warm' or 'to burn'. The symbolism is here linked to Fire, and thus to expansion (X = multiply). 

'The Abyss' - i.e. 'Gaping Chasm' - is always seen to be downwards, and is linked to the Ap/Ab of Sumer-Babylon which is the Waters below the Earth and above the Abyss. Woden's 'Cry' or 'Shout' - AEPANDI NAM is linked to these ideas -

AEP = The Waters.

ANDI = 'Ond' or 'Anda' = 'Vital Breath'. 

Woden hangs upside down upon the Windswept Tree which again gives us 'wind' or 'gust of wind' and the movement of air that fans the Fires of Creation. We must recall that the Primal Waters were the Primordial Ice or Primal Ice originally, and these turned to Water when subject to the Primal Fire in Muspellheim. There is some small thing that does not sit right here, and that is the 'Primal Ice of Niflheim'. 'Nifl' is the same as 'Nibl' or 'Nebl' and from this comes 'Nebula' which is a cloud of gas and dust in space, from which new planets and stars are created. We should perhaps see this as the Primal Mist since a 'mist' or 'fog' is water that is near freezing. 

This is, in fact, very interesting, since the Welsh Wild Hunter-God is named 'Gwyn man Nydd' - 'White, Son of the Mist'. Nydd (Welsh) is Nodens (England) or Nuada (Ireland), and both Nydd (Nudd) and Nuada are said to have lost one hand, which is replaced by a Silver Hand. The treasures that Sigurd the Wolsunga won by slaying the Dragon Fafnir were the Treasures of the Nibelungs - 'Sons of the Mist'. This 'Freezing Mist' would be the 'Rime' which is freezing water or the 'Cool-Cold Sea' of Hvergelmir. 

Some scientists are now postulating not one but two 'Big-Bangs', one of which brought into being the material universe, the second bringing into being a parallel universe. Science still does not understand Dark Matter or Dark Energy which they theorise to be there but which does not seem to affect the material universe, and which, they say, moves through matter. The Black Sun is said to be the Sun of the 'Inner Earth' - a parallel universe. What does seem to be the case is that the impetus for the Creative Force originates in 'another world' and then manifests itself in this material world to change the course of history in some way. 

The Black Sun is the Void of Creation; just as the god Buri was created by Audhumla - the Cosmic Mother - so this Creative Force walks The Void for Eternity. This is the Ur-Force or Primal Force of Creation, and these Mysteries are found in the Feoh-Rune and the Ur-Rune, both associated with 'Cattle'. The Primal Void will remain in the Blood-Memory, and the figure of Woden, dressed in Black Cloak and Black Hood with a Void where the face should be, is symbolic of The Void, and his power to use the Primal Force of Ginn. Woden himself contains the Power of Light and the Power of Darkness held in balance as the Power of Creation and the Power of Destruction. 

This is why it is so hard for most to even consider how such a Force of Creation and Force of Destruction can work here in Middle-Earth. This goes beyond 'Good and Evil' as Nietzsche said. Woden is very much like the Hindu Shiva and Vedic Rudra who is the 'God of Creation' and yet also the 'God of Destruction'. The name Ygg parallels that of Ughr which is a title of Rudra-Shiva. Rudra-Shiva's 'Dance of Destruction' is a terrifying act to see, a whirling-dance by a sword-wielding daemonic power. 

The Cycle of the Ages goes through 24,000 to 26,000 years in a downward decline until the Warg-Age or Kali Yuga whence the Waters of Dissolution (Great Flood) takes place, and in our own cycle the Destruction by Fire overwhelms the Nine Worlds. This is an ending, but also a new beginning, and from the word 'be-ginn-ing' we can see that the Primordial Chaos returns, out of which arises a New Order and New Cosmos - a New Creation. 

The English Dragon.

 

The English Dragon

By

Wulf Ingessunu

 

 

Hark! When the dragon wakes!

See! When this island shakes!

Where now the Engel-Kin,

When shall our war begin.

 

Seek now those whose Will shall stand,

Seek now those who love their land.

 

Hark! Hear now the dragon’s call,

Just as our land shall fall:

Engel-Kin – now rise anew,

Hear the call, the time is due.

 

Seek now they whose strength ne’er yields,

Seek them on the land and  fields.

 

Not in the cities overthrown,

Not in the hell-holes once called home:

But in the ancient countryside,

Where we shall stand – side by side.

 

Seek now they who stand so proud,

Seek not the numbers of the crowd.

 

And now the Engel-Kin shall rise,

When the signs shall fill the skies:

Catastrophic change shall come,

Earthquakes, floods, not far from home:

 

Seek now the lonely places found,

Seek now the wild-woods that abound:

 

The cities of our land shall burn,

The towns and hamlets in their turn:

Ne’er before such sights are seen, 

Within this land, once bright and green:

 

Seek now the wolf’s heads in the wood,

Seek now the truth, and what is good:

 

For this my seeing shall foretell,

Not all is lost – all  shall be well -

When the gods shall kindle war,

The outlander shall leave our shore.

 

Seek not for what ye shall not find,

Seek within your kin and kind.

 

The secret of the victory,

Lies within both you and me:

Withdraw into yourselves my Folk,

To break the chains, and free the yoke.

 

Seek now for those who came before,

Seek now the Ancestors of yore.

 

For now the gods shall kindle war,

Ne’er seen within this land before:

A war to end the wars of eld,

This Dark Age now so long has held.

 

Seek now the English Dragon bold,

That flew o’er folk and lands of old:

Seek now the English Dragon fine,

That flew afore the thin red line.

The English Dragon rises……………………..

I have just found this poem that I wrote over ten years ago, and had forgotten that this piece had even been written. It was written in a prophetic sense as was much of my stuff back then. It is a chilling warning, and yet a call to withstand everything that is thrown upon us. 

THE SPEAR by STEPHEN A. McNALLEN - A Review.

 THE SPEAR by STEPHEN A. McNALLEN

A REVIEW by WULF INGESSUNU

Having read through the book once I stick by saying this is an awesome book, for the following reasons -

• It uses the words of the Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung, to show how the Wotan Archetype (*) can be awoken today as it did in the pre-war German Republic, simply because the conditions today are almost the same as they were then.
• It gives us all a purpose for what we are doing, and encourages others to have a purpose in their lives, rather than drifting along. 
• Then, a plan is set down which can be followed in order to fulfil that purpose; some parts of this plan are already in place through the Wotan Network. 
• It recognises that we are in what he terms the 'Phase Three' of this plan, which in my own opinion here relates to the 'quiet' side of Wotan, his 'prophetic' side, since this seems to be linked to the phase prior to National Socialism in Germany. (This is my own opinion, by the way, not that of the author.)
• But it is vitally important that this is recognised; the Volkish-Movement in Germany (and elsewhere in Europe) built up over a long period of time, and within this we find a hidden esoteric side in which prophecy formed a vital part. The arising of a Folk-Leader was prophesied by Guido von List and by Lanz von Liebenfelds, it would seem, as well as another infamous occultist. As Stephen tells us, the recognition of this 'Phase Three' is important to us, since it is a vital phase in the Aryan Awakening. 
• What is vital to understand, and this is outlined in the book, is that physical action is needed, as well as the esoteric and spiritual side. 
• I see the 'Phase Four' as being vital, as Stephen states when he recognises that a 'mass-movement' is needed. I would like to comment here, since in many sections of the 'revival' phase we find a myriad of small groups, many of whom reject the idea of any 'mass-movement'. Some of these are there to 'drop out' of The System, rather than to affect change in the world; doing this may help towards change, but only some form of 'mass-movement' will achieve the victory needed to stop the destruction of our Folk, all peoples, and all life upon Earth. How things are at this point may well be how they must be, since the book does warn of what will happen when a mass-movement does arise! But that does not change what has to be done in the end. (**)
• The book then outlines some of the problems we face as a race, the most vital being that we are balanced over the Abyss of Destruction. Here again, we find that the present situation is outlined, and we need to live in the present rather than trying to live in the past. 

(*) The 'Wotan Archetype': I am in full agreement that Wotan (I'll use that name since it is the one used throughout the book) is a God, a vast numinous Conscious Being, and not just a facet of our subconscious mind. To believe that the Gods are 'creations of our unconscious mind' flies in face of our own Aryan Mythology, since in Norse Mythology the Gods create the First Man and First Woman. However, the use of this term as an 'archetype' or 'Ur-Type' (Primal Type) is useful to us in some ways. We could state that Guido von List was driven by the 'Wotan Archetype', or alternatively we could say he was 'possessed by the God Wotan', but the latter would invoke the idea of being 'possessed by The Devil', since this has been pushed into the Folk-Mind over and over again. This is why I use the term anyway. Carl Jung, it must be remembered, was a psychologist  and thus used the language of psychology rather than 'Occult Language'. 

(**) Although not covered in the book, the Folkish Movement arose in other parts of Europe, and here in England there arose a number of different groups and movements of an 'alternative' nature, as well as political movements that opposed the Liberal Democratic Society. Unlike Germany, these never fused together as a 'mass-movement', which meant that other nations sided with 'Liberal Democracy' against the Wotan Awakening.

Using the title of one of Julius Evola's books - 'Revolt Against the Modern World' gives force to the idea of a 'Culture of Resistance' which we certainly need to build within all White Nations. As clearly stated, this is far more than just rejecting some things in this society, it is about action that will show a resistance to this materialistic, consumerist, techno-crazy society. The dangers in what is going on within The System are outlined clearly, and sources of where to look for them too. Ways to further this revolt are outlined in the book and need no discussion here.

There are activities used by The Wotan Network, plus the Odin World Prayer Day created by Anders Nilsson, and these can be taken up by anyone who feels that they are useful work in awakening our Folk. And I do recommend that these be taken up by Folkish Wodenists, our work here in England should not be isolated from the wholeness of the Aryan Awakening. We have had our own such activities in the past, such as the Fires of Revolt where individuals and groups within Woden's Folk lit fires on Beacon Hills and Ancient Sites, took photos and we then put these up for others to see. Today, with Social Media, this would have been even more effective, which underlines the need to use Social Media to our advantage - not in a trivial way, nor as an ego-boost, but to try to influence others. The use of Telegram is one way but to some extent we are 'preaching to the converted', and still need to get the Word of Wotan out to others, even though they may oppose our work. 

And this is really a point, looking again at pre-war Germany there was massive opposition to the arising of a mass-movement springing out of the Volkische Movement - the German Masses were 'proletarianised'. It was the Psychology of the Spoken Word that changed all this in a very small space of time, and the Triumph of the Will. This was a major factor - The Will! And this is not just 'will-power', but more like the 'Will-to-Power' of Nietzsche. Today this is difficult since things are different, but as then (in my own view) we can only speak to the Folk-Mind, and thus the Folk-Soul, of the People through the use of hard-hitting and easily-remembered slogans and symbols (runes, etc.) - such an 'awakening' is done through gaining access to the Racial Unconscious, and not by intellectual argument. The masses are swayed by emotion and not the intellect. We have to remember this, and this is where the actions outlined in the book come into play, since they do work at this level (even if not actually stated). 

Our work here in England, through the Woden Folk-Community (Exoteric) and Woden's Folk (Esoteric) runs parallel to that of the Wotan Network, and so healthy co-operation can never be a bad thing - and I would encourage our people to do so as much as they can. There are possibly hundreds of new, small groups, springing up with the aim of reviving our history, culture, tradition and identity, and these all form part of what Stephen calls 'Phase Three'. But I have never been in agreement with trying to revive a religion from the past, and this is reflected in Jung's statement that a 'new orientation' of the Ur-Religion is necessary, as Stephen does point out in the book. Knowledge from the past is necessary to build something from, but something that is in essence the Ur-Religion, but in a new form suited to today's world - recalling that we are at the height of the Wolf-Age or Dark Age. Neither am I in agreement with trying to revive 'National Socialism' as it was in Germany, though, as in our own Anglo-Saxon Era and Viking Era, there are many things we can learn from this movement that sprang from the Volkische Movement. 

The best thing to do is to make your own mind up by reading The Spear for yourself. But please do not read it and then do nothing - what is needed then is to take upside form of action by creating within yourself a 'Culture of Resistance'. 

Thule - The Polar Centre

 YULE = THULE

The Path of the Sun from East to West each day and each year is the 'reality' that we see but this is not the only 'reality', since the Sun is the Still Centre around which everything turns, just as the Sun is at the middle of the movement of the Signs of the Zodiac. With the Yule-Point being at the bottom this is where the Sun is 'renewed' each year, just as this is seen in the daily path of the Sun. 

What we need to recall here is that the Solar-Cycle existed only after the end of the Golden Age of Being, whence Becoming replaced Being. The aim has to be to reconnect to Being, whilst still being subject to the Cycle of Becoming. To 'stamp Becoming with Being' as Hegel stated. This is why Miguel Serrano pushed the theme of the Swastika as the 'Swastika of the Return' - to Thule. Thule has to be awakened in the Blood-Memory. Thule here is at the North. Hel, the Goddess of Death, was reached through the north of the world - nidr ok nordr liggr Helvegr - "down and north leads the Hel-Way". North is seen here in the context of the Solar-Cycle.

The Ring is here symbolic of the Folk, at the Sacred Centre of which is the Sun-King. The Sun-King radiates energy and force outwards; the centre is everywhere, the circumference nowhere. This is far different in structure than the Pyramid-Structure of the Globalists, where 'they' form the top parts, and 'we' are all at the very bottom. The Sacred Ring is based upon energy and force from a Sacred Centre - Thule. The Sun is here the Immovable Mover, that which is still, around which the movement of the Folk-Wheel turns. 

It is my own belief that Bael-Daeg is the Black Sun, held in the Nether-World (Hel) through the Cycle of the Ages, after the sinking of Thule and the ending of the Golden Age. The term bale can mean 'fire' but in a special sense of 'to blacken with fire'. It is thus a 'blackening', hence the Black Sun. One of the symbols used is the Black Swastika, another the 12-spoked Black Sun. The Old English daeg means 'day', in the sense of a 24-hour day, thus its use at the end of each day of the week. It thus means Day and Night. Bael-Daeg in Norse Mythology is not seen as the daily Sun 'dying' at the end of each day and rising anew the next morning at Dawn. He returns only after Ragnarok. 

The Black Sun used here may hint at this being held in the Nether-World by the twin Nyd-Runes, Nyd or Nith being the Nether-World. It is significant that Bael-Daeg plays no part whatever in any of the Norse Myths, except for his death at the hands of Blind Hod, aided, of course, by Loki the Trickster. There is no hint of a daily cycle of the Sun, but in Greek Myth it is Helios that is the Sun-God, and Apollo is the God of Hyperborea - the Far North. It seems we have the Golden Sun and its 'Death and Rebirth' and the Black Sun which sinks with the sinking of Thule-Hyperborea. The Black Sun is the Hidden Sun, it is the Midnight Sun. 

The Mythical Year

Midsummer The Midday Sun - High God

GER-RUNE

DAEG-RUNE

 Midwinter - The Midnight Sun - The Son

THULE

Today's calendar is a mix of Solar and Lunar Calendar; we have 12 'months' (Moons) each having either 30 or 31 days, bar for February which has 28. There is no real sense here because it uses the Lunar Year of 365 days (364 really) but a Solar Year in regard to the parts of the year ('Months'). However, this was also true of the Anglo-Saxon year where Bede (a Christian monk) tells us they worked by nights and moons, and yet starts off the year with a Solar Date - December 25th. He also says they too cut the year into 12 parts ('Months') thus also using a Solar Year. If they used a Lunar Year it would be cut into 13 parts, each month being 28 days, making 364 days in the year. Not sure whether they used a 7-day week (as the Greeks and Romans did, as well as the Jews who used this from Genesis in the Old Testament), but the 7-day week is used in a Lunar Year, since a month is 4 x 7 days = 28 days. 

What I am trying to do here is to construct a Mythical Year - a Solar Year - named thus because it does fit with the Solar Myths. This will then be fitted to a pattern of runes that fit the Daily Cycle and Yearly Cycle of the Sun's Path. To do this I use the Sun-Wheel which is a four-spoked wheel representing the four parts of the year we use today, but within it the 2-part breaking of the year into a Light Part (Summer) and Dark Part (Winter). 

From this we can create an eight-spoken wheel that is used as our own Wheel of the Year Rites. Keep this in mind here, but for the time being keep the four-spoked Sun-Wheel in mind for what I am going to say now. The year starts at Yule or Midwinter (Middle of Winter) which is at the bottom of the Holy Wheel. This is marked by the Daeg-Rune, a Rune of Change, and a rune which marks the point where the Dark Path ends and the Light Path begins, where the Sun starts to move upwards again on its Waxing Path. Keep in mind that the Sun here 'stands still' for 3 days on December 21st-22nd, and then starts the upward path on December 24th-25th. This point is clearly the 'Reborn Sun'. 

The Waxing Sun (Upward Path) begins the 'Way of the Gods' and moves upwards through the Summer Evennight around March 21st. In the Daily Cycle this point is the Dawn, in the Yearly Cycle it is the start of the Summer (if we ignore the Spring as we do the Autumn in this). At this liminal point the Light and Darkness are in balance. The rising of the Sun at this time is marked by Venus (Eostra) in the East, the Sun rising after Venus is seen. Eostra is the Goddess of Dawn and the Goddess of Summer (Spring if you wish). The Waxing Sun reaches its high point at the top of the Holy Wheel - this marks Midsummer. Here, again, is a point of change, and this is marked by the Ger-Rune or Ar-Rune (Eagle-Rune). Here, once more, the Sun 'stands still' on the horizon for 3 days on 21st-22nd June, and then starts her downward path on 24th-25th June. This highest point is Midday in the Daily Cycle. 

The Waning Sun (Downward Path) begins the 'Way of the Ancestors' and moves downwards through the Winter Evennight around September 21st. This point in the Daily Cycle is the Dusk, in the Yearly Cycle it is the beginning of Winter. Again, at this liminal point the Light and Darkness are in balance. Here, in the West, the Evening Star (Venus) appears first as the Sun moves down into the 'Nether-World'. Here it reaches the point where it began, at the lowest point - Yule. In the Daily Cycle this is Midnight. 

The Ger-Rune is placed at the Midsummer and Midday point, but it also represents the Light-Dark daily-yearly cycle. The alternative Elder Futhark stave shows the movement of the two cycles clearly. The Chinese Yin-Yang Symbol is even more precise with this. Ger which is said as 'Year' also means 'harvest', but this point cannot be seen as a 'harvest', but it is the end-point of the Waxing Sun and thus in a sense the point of 'harvest'. 

If we see Bael-Daeg as the Sun-God then he is 'wounded' at Midsummer, his might waning until we reach the Winter Evennight where he 'dies', moving down into the Nether-World until he reaches the lowest point at Yule. Here, Bael-Daeg becomes the Midnight Sun which is reborn or 'resurrected' at this point. This is symbolised by the Holy Swastika - the Fylfot - which is Bael-Daeg in the Underworld - the Black Sun. 

"The Sun of Midnight is ever the Son!"

In line with Archetypal Myth the 'Sun of Midnight' is 'The Son' - of the High God - born at the Yuletide of the year. Thus the Archetypal Krist who is born on December 25th is the 'Rebirth of the Sun' ('The Son'). Since the Midsummer Sun (Midday Sun) stands highest in the South, the Midwinter Sun (Midnight Sun) stands to the North (Thule). The Archetypal Krist is thus the Krist of Atlantis (Miguel Serrano) and not the 'Jesus Christ' of the Middle-East. This is the Solar-Krist that 'shaped the former world' - before the Great Flood. 

Bael-Daeg seems to also be Pol whose must have been the Polar-God of the Primordial World. It seems right to link him to the Midwinter since this is also marked by the Daeg-Rune. The Greek Apollo is a Sun-God, but in other Indo-Aryan areas the prefix 'A-' created an opposite (as Hamasson pointed out once where 'Brahman' becomes 'A-Brahman' (Abram/Abraham). If so, then it may be that A-Pol-lo represents the Midsummer Sun, whilst Pol represents the Midwinter Sun. Originally, of course, Pol was the God of the Pole - the North Star. 

This Mythical Solar-Year is clearly a 'wheel' or 'ring' which would be made up of 360 parts (360 degree ring). This is broken into two 180 degree parts - Light and Dark - and further into four 90 degree parts (seasons). We can now mark the 12 'months' of Light and 12 'months' of Dark with the 24 Runes of the Elder Futhark. We start at the very bottom with Feoh (comes after Daeg) and this would be one o'clock in the Daily Cycle, moving to the Dawn which would be Ken, then to the Midday which would be Ger, through the Dusk which would be Beorc, and down to Midnight which would be Daeg. 

The Yearly Cycle would be just the same, but each 'month' would have two runes, one for the first half, one for the second half. Thus January would have Feoh-Ur, February Thorn-Os, March Rad-Ken etc. The Beorc-Rune lies at the Dusk, which may seem odd for a Rune of Regeneration, but this point is the start of the Winter, and in some way thus a 'new beginning'. 

The Edel-Rune is here put as Number 23 and not Number 24; but this is the Rune of Thule (At-al-land later), and the Primordial Homeland. Thus, the Mythical Year shown here leads us back to the Primordial Homeland - Thule. This is the time of an 'ending' and a 'new beginning'. As a turn-rune the Daeg-Rune is placed here, but it should be seen as being switched with Edel to create another hidden meaning. 

Of course, this Mythical Year can be seen as a 'Nature-Myth' in that it is a yearly cycle of the seasons, but it is also a 'Legendary Myth' or 'Historical Myth' in that it paths the downward movement of the Folk away from the North Pole - Primordial Homeland - to the North-West, and then southwards and eastwards to the Southern Part of the planet. Then it paths the upward cycle as the Folk-Wanderings took us back into Europe and Northern Europe. The 'Historical Myth' follows the same path as the 'Nature-Myth', they are two levels of the same symbolism. This, of course, uses the Elder Futhark of 24 Runes, the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag 33 Runes is used for the Inner Awakening of the Fire-Serpent since it links to the 33 bones of the human spinal column. 

NOTES - 

1. The Daeg-Edel change may also be linked to the 23 1/3 degree pole-shift that sent the Earth's Axis off centre, thus shifting 'Thule' from its True Place. 

2. The Egyptians, ruled by their Solar-Kings of the Ancient Solar-Race, at one stage used a 360-day Solar Year.

3. The Number 360 (as 36) is part of a number-order 36 - 72 - 144 that has very ancient roots. 

4. There are 60 seconds in one minute, and 60 minutes in one hour. In one 12-hour period there are 43200 seconds, and in 24 hours 86400 seconds. The Sacred Number 432 appears in this sequence. The Great Pyramid is said to have been built to the scale 1 : 43200, and is also said by some to represent the Northern Hemisphere. 

The Wheel of the Year links the Solar-Wheel (+ Cross) with the X-Cross, with the rites of the X-Cross being near to the middle of the Four Main Rites -

Midwinter - Wali's Day (Feb. 14th), Summer Evennight - Dragon-Slayer (April 23rd) or Walpurgis Night (April 30th), Summer Sunwend - Thingstead (August 17th), and Winter Evennight - Ancestral Rite (November 11th). 

Using this Wheel of the Year each eighth part would have 3 Runes, thus creating the 24 Rune-Wheel. Starting at the bottom (Yule) we would have - Feoh-Ur-Thorn, Os-Rad-Ken taking us to the Dawn-Sunrise in the East. The rest is clear. 

We have here a Runic Form suited to the Solar-Ring and to the Mythical Solar-Year which runs with the Teutonic Myths. The four points of the year Midwinter-Dawn-Midsummer-Dusk would be marked by the Holly-King - Dawn-Goddess - Oak King - Dusk Goddess. 

The Pure Fool

 

This post sprang from watching a 'Children's Tale' called Ash-Lad in the Hall of the Mountain-King which was a breath of fresh air to watch in such an age of degeneracy. More than a 'Children's Tale' it is Folklore, even more, it is Eternal Myth, and it served to awaken these ideas by watching it. I have watched it only once, so there may be errors in some of what is to come, but I shall try to keep this as short as possible, since the tale needs telling first. 

A family of father and three children lived in a wooden house deep in the woods; the youngest of the three children was rather a simpleton or fool, and whatever he did seemed to mess everything up. In a large palace nearby lived a beautiful Princess who was coming up to her eighteenth birthday; however, should she not wed by the time she was eighteen the legend held that she would be taken by a troll - The Mountain King - who lived in a vast hall in the mountains. Her father got for her a suitor whom she did not wish to wed. 

From thence the plot unfolds, for the Princess reaches eighteen and is taken by the Mountain King - the troll - and imprisoned in a cave deep in the mountain. There she must be forced to marry the Mountain King and be his slave forever. Meanwhile, the suitor picked by the King, together with three comrades, rides into the forest to look for the Princess, since the King has offered a massive reward for the one who frees here from the Troll. They come across the log-cabin and thus the family find out about the Princess. The youngest son, inside the cabin, starts to mess around in mock sword-play, knocking over a lamp in the process. This causes a fire and the whole cabin is destroyed! The father is furious, as may be expected, and tells the young son to leave; he then tells the other two brothers that they must quest to seek the Princess and bring her back to the King to get the reward, the only means to rebuild the burnt-out house. 

Now, the younger brother had already come across the Princess and fell in love with her; he caught up with his two brothers and they went along together for a while. Then the youngest son heard a cry of distress, which his brothers ignored and carried on, so he went to find out the cause of this. He came across an Old Crone whose long nose had stuck in a tree-stump; he widened the gap so that she could get her nose loose. (The sillier the tale the more it is suited to the minds of the young - or others for that matter.) Finding her, of course, was no accident, for she told him that in order to free the Princess he must slay the Troll, but this can only be done with a Magical Sword that lay in a distant lake. She gave to him a map, which turned out to be blank; to use the map it was necessary to ask politely for the place one wished to go - and this, of course, worked. He set off again and found his two brothers.

Before I carry on, here is the best time to recall one of the most important ideas in the story. The youngest son, throughout the long journey, kept finding seemingly useless objects and picking them up, thus ridiculed by his brothers. These were (as far as I recall) - a broken mirror, a metal helmet, a bear-skin, and a ball of twine. In fact, these seemingly useless objects all have a purpose in his quest - the metal helmet serves as a cooking-pot, the bear-skin serves him when he attacks the suitor and his comrades later, the ball of twine serves him when he enters the labyrinth in the mountain, to get out again, and the broken mirror serves him when he has to face the Troll. 

His brothers come across an enchanted piece of the forest where three beautiful maidens give them food and drink; the young son also comes into this place, but he can see through the deception, since they are Three Hags whose food is maggoty and stale, but looks delightful. To cut this short, the young son is split from his brothers and find the Magical Sword; they find the mountain and the Princess imprisoned inside. The young son fights with the Troll, who knocks the Magical Sword from his hand, which then falls across the edge of the mountain. Noting that the Sun has started to rise, he takes the broken mirror and reflects the Light of the Sun onto the Troll, who is turned to stone. The Princess is taken back to her father who gives the reward, from which the father's house is rebuilt. The young son is united with the Princess and they live happily ever after....

We can see from this that it has for its origins the Aryan Myth of the Sun & Light (Princess) being taken and hidden in a Mountain Cave (Darkness). The Folk-Hero or Sun-Hero (The Fool) takes up the Quest for the Hidden Light, slays the 'Troll' (Powers of Darkness) and releases the Princess (The Divine Light of the Sun). 

(THE PURE FOOL)

Contrary to the usual train of thought the Folk-Hero is often not the macho-hero but is a fool or simpleton, the following being three examples -

• Amlodh - Hamlet.
• Parsifal.
• William Tell ('Tell' comes from 'Tol' meaning 'fool' or 'simpleton'. 

The above story is an Archetypal Myth of The Fool; we need now to look at Norse Mythology and Germanic Mythology to trace this theme further. If we trace the 'Folk-Hero' who slays the 'Monster' (Troll or Serpent) this takes us back to Thor. So let us look at the myths that concern Thor -

• When the dwarf Brock was making Thor's Hammer he was stung by Loki who assumed the shape of a gadfly. The shaft of the hammer was thus made too short. Some feel that this is a clever dig at the 'phallic' nature of Thor's Hammer.
• On his journey to Utgard with Loki, Thor slays his goats and revives them magically, but the sly Loki entices Thialfi to break the bone of one of them to eat the marrow - thus one of Thor's Goats is lame! Thor and Loki sleep in a Giant's Glove which they think is a house. This giant, Skrymir, slept and his snoring kept Thor awake, to which the Thunder-God dealt him three mighty blows, which only made the giant ask if a leaf had fallen upon him. 
• In the hall of Utgard-Loki Thor is seemingly made to look a fool when he is matched against three opponents, though these are Wildfire, drinking from a horn whose other end was the ocean, trying to lift a 'cat' which was the Midgard Serpent, and Old Age. 
• When Thor's Hammer was stolen he dressed as a woman to regain it from the Giants. 

From these examples, and others we can find within Norse Mythology, Thor is sometimes portrayed as being rather 'foolish', or seeming to be foolish. Like the young son in the tale above, although he appears to be a 'fool' in fact he is very wise indeed. We can see this in the tale where every one of the seemingly useless objects has some purpose in his quest to find the Princess. His 'foolish' actions seem to harm, but underlying this is the theme that everything turns out right in the end. In the Norse Myths it is Loki that causes the problems, and Thor that sets them right. This seems to show that the original tale of 'The Fool' has been broken into two different figures - Loki and Thor. That this does link to Thor seems to be clear when we compare him with the Greek Hero, Hercules; Hercules wantonly slays his own wide and children in a most foolish act. 

The 'saviour' is always the man dressed in 'motley garb'; he is either The Clown or The Harlequin, two aspects of 'The Fool'. The Harlequin is more related to Woden as the Wild Hunter-God. But we see here the link between Thor and 'The Fool', since he is the Folk-Hero. The term 'fool' stems from the Latin follis which means 'wind-bag', and folles meaning 'puffed cheeks'; hence the 'raspberry' blown by the Jester. The Fool is 'silly', a word derived from the Germanic selig meaning 'holy' or 'blessed'. The one thing that stands out is that the 'saviour' is a madman, a fool, is 'possessed', is 'The Innocent Fool'. 

The Long Man of Wilmington is the 'April Fool'; this is the force that we all feel with the advent of the Spring, a wantonness and irresponsibility, something 'childlike' in its essence. At this time the Sun enters Aries the Ram. 'The Fool' is 'Pure Being' and this force - The Cosmic Joker - arises at the end of a Cycle of the Ages as Old Chaos (The Void) returns. He is the Be-Ginn-Ing and the End - the First and the Last, and yet he is Number 0. He is 'The Hooded Man', for Robin Hood dresses in Lincoln Green, he is the 'Green Man'; the Long Man was once called 'The Green Man'. 

Wid-Ar is the Silent God since he is Pure Being, an aspect of Pure No-Thing-Ness; the unformulated impulse takes place in The Silence - an absence of vibration and movement - Ginnungagap. This is above The Abyss where the opposites are united. Wid-Ar the Silent waits his time to manifest as Wid-Ar the Avenger - the 'Saviour of the World'. Ginn is the Jester or Fool - the Cosmic Joker. This is why the name Wid-Ar stems from one meaning 'wide' since this is the 'Wide-Land' spoken of in Aryan Lore - as high state of consciousness. AR is the Black Sun, the Source of Everything. AR - VAR - ALDA. 

The Silent God is called Hoor-par-Kraat (Egypt) or Harpocrates (Greece), and he is 'Horus the Child' seen above with his finger on the bottom lip of his mouth. This is where the gesture of the finger placed over the mouth (shhhh) as a sign to keep silent. Horus, like Wid-Ar is the Son of the Sun, and both are Avenging Gods. The father of Horus (Osiris) is slain by his brother (Set) and Horus sets out to avenge this death by slaying Set. This is the tale of 'The Fool' - Hamlet. The Egyptian Heru  is the basis of the name 'Horus'. 'Heru' is related to the word 'Arya'. He is silent because he has not uttered The Word. 

Ingwe & Bootes

 

In this post I would like to make a deeper study into the link between Ingwe and Bootes, and to also create the link between the Krist Archetype, Ingwe and Bootes. A lot of this stuff has been covered before, but not put together in the way I have tried to do here. To follow this up I would like to make the link between Ingwe and Sheaf through some new ideas that came up fro  further study. 

"And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of Man, having on his head a Golden Crown, and in his hand a sharp Sickle."

Revelation 14:14

The 'Son of Man' here refers to Krist, but we know that Ingwe is the 'Son of Man(-nus') so the title refers to either one of these. The image here is of the Constellation of Bootes, which has a 'Golden Crown' which has actually 'toppled' from the head. Bootes holds a 'sharp sickle' in his left hand.

The figure of Bootes is here shown with a Spear (Right Hand) and a Sickle (Left Hand), with two Hunting Dogs which he holds on a leash. Just to his right is the 'Golden Crown' (Northern Crown - Corona Borealis). This image has many different variations as to how individuals have interpreted the star-positions. 

This version is different in that he holds a Shepherd's Crook in his right hand and a sickle in his left hand, and the dogs are not shown. There is an importance of both the Shepherd's Crook and the Sickle, as we shall see now. I have shown before how the Legend of Cuthman is the Legend of Ingwe, and in this legend Cuthman is said, as a child, to have tended his sheep - thus the Shepherd's Crook. Later in the legend Cuthman is said to have used a Plough, which is where the Sickle image comes in, since this is an image of harvesting the fields of crops - particularly Corn. 

The Plough or 'Great Bear' revolves around the Pole-Star in the shape of a Swastika; if we look at the image below of Cuthman pushing his invalid mother in a barrow eastwards we can see that the barrow has a shape similar to The Plough -

"Ing was first amongst the East Danes seen by men,

he later eastwards went over the waves, his Waen after-ran...'

Old English Rune Poem - Ing.

The Constellation of Bootes is known as 'The Herdsman' or 'The Ploughman', which covers both the Shepherd and the Ploughman together, as do the differing symbols used, as I have just shown. This fits exactly with the images of Cuthman as a Shepherd in his youth, and then as a Ploughman in later life. 

I will now turn to the link between Ingwe and Sheaf, which is not widely recognised, but which I do think can be made when we look closely into certain aspects of what little we know about both of these. 

Firstly, an English Nobelman named Ealdorman AEthelweard, around the year 990CE, spoke of Sceaf having landed 'on an island in the ocean which is called Scani'. Scani is on the southern tip of Sweden and was the ancient home of the Danes. 'Ing was first amongst the East Danes seen by men...' So says the Old English Rune Poem in a statement that I see as going some way to suggest Ingwe and Sceaf are one and the same person. 

As Ingwe-Frey (Ing the Lord) he is associated with the Corn and the Harvest, which is clearly a role of Sceaf since his head lay upon a 'Sheaf of Corn' in the oarless boat. In one of the woodcuts of Cuthman there are bales of straw (from the corn) in the background. In a later piece of information about a Divine Child in a boat, though not actually stated as being Sceaf, we find that he has a 'shield' (boat) on which is a Lighted Taper - Fire. He was the God that brought Fire to the Folk of Scani. Frey is definitely associated with Fire, even though this is not actually stated outright in the Norse Myths. Frey fights the Fire-Demon Beli and slays him, and at Ragnarok he fights against the Fire-Giant Surt. 

The Legend of Sceaf is also very similar to the Legend of Agni, the Vedic Fire-God and son of Mataricvan, who is akin to our Mundelfore (Waendal). Agni is sent down to the Bhriguians -Son of Bhrigu - by his father Mataricvan. He brings with him the Sacred Fire of the Gods - the Nyd-Fire or Fire-by-Friction. Sceaf has, on his boat (shield) a 'Lighted Taper', so we see the similarities here. Mundilfore is the 'Turner of the World Mill' and we can see Ingwe-Frey as being associated with the grinding-process of the Wheels of the Mill. Both are then associated with the Mill, which is also associated with the Sacred Fire created by friction. Ingwe is the Fire itself, produced by friction of two sticks or a similar process. The descendants of Bhrigu are also called by the title Bhargavans, a name which comes from bharge meaning 'to shine'. The name of the island where Sceaf landed is Scani or Scandi which means 'to shine', 'shining' or 'bright'. 

There is another 'coincidence' here, since Bhrigu and Manu were the first to use the Sacred Fire when Agni brought it down to Earth. Bhrigu and Manu have their equivalents in the Teutonic Berchter and Mannus, and the 'Son of Man(-nus)' is Ingwe, as we have shown before. The name Berchta means 'bright', 'clear' or 'light' and has its equivalent in the Old English beorht and Old Saxon berht. Manu is the one who appeared before a Great Flood to give warning and to help the people in such a time. He is also the one who brought the Divine Order of Caste to Man (in which he resembles Rig). (*)

(*) We are not actually told that Rig is Hama-Heimdall in the 'Lay of Rig', and this is only stated in a different text. At the very end of the 'Lay of Rig' we find a strange reference to 'Dan and Danp', names clearly related to the Danes. The Royal House of the Danes was Scyld who was the 'Son of Sheaf' (Scyld Scefing), part of a trio - Sheaf-Shield-Barley. Dan was supposedly where the title 'Danes' came from, and Scyld gave his name to their Ruling House. The name 'Rig' can be found as 'Rik' or 'Reik' and means 'King' or 'Ruler'. (A 'Reich' is a 'Kingdom'). It has never been explained as to why 'Dan and Danp' were used at the end of this lay. Wotan's Krieger (who used to be with Woden's Folk) suggested that Rig could be Woden, since it is Woden who teaches runes, and I see this as a valid argument in a sense, but there may be other explanations.

We have the runic-sequence Mann-Lagu-Ing which in the past I have related to Manu-Flood-Ingwe. Since Manu appears before the Flood, then Ingwe must appear after the Flood - if we take this sequence as valid. Indeed, since the Old English Rune-Poem clearly states that Ing 'went over the waves' we have a reference to what could actually mean a 'flood'. There is another point here, since to go 'eastwards' would mean that if Ing were here meant to have been with the East Danes in what became Angeln, then their travel to Britain could not be seen as going 'eastwards'. (Here there seems to be an ambiguity, since some say this sentence could mean 'back' rather than 'eastwards', but, of course, it could mean both.) 8,000 years ago a massive tsunami was triggered by a vast landslide in Scandinavia and sank the whole of the area of Doggerland, an area known as Atland to the Frisians, and At-al-land in Folkish Wodenism. Vast areas of North-West Europe which included parts of these islands were submerged in the waters of this disaster. This being so the Ingwe may have led the Ingefolk eastwards over the waters to escape the disaster. 

In one sense Manu and Ingwe are one and the same archetype, since we find the statement made of Krist -

'I am the Beginning and the End - the First and the Last.'

The old name for England is Albion which can mean either 'White Island'/'Shining Island' or 'Land of the Elves' ('Shining Ones'). Ingwe is the 'High Lord of the Elves' and Tolkien has him leading the Ingweawar out of their homeland which was about to sink under the waves. 'Albion' was said to have been a 'Giant' in legends from this area, and William Blake used him in his works. The word 'elf' stems from Old English (Low German) whilst 'alb' stems from High German. 

In the genealogy of the West Saxons it seems that Scef, Scyld and Beow are added to take this beyond Woden and to include the biblical 'Naoh', since Scef is said to have been 'born in Noah's Ark'. This, as is usually the case, is attributed to a Christian scribe, but another explanation could be that it has been added because Sceaf has something to do with 'Noah's Ark' and a Flood. Sceaf may first have come to Thule-Hyperborea at the end of the Golden Age, as I have already shown since he brings agriculture, weapons and the Sacred Fire to aid the Ingefolk as the Great Winter is about to set in. The later part of the sinking of At-al-land may have been around 4,000 years ago which seems to coincide with the Flood of Noah. Every 4,000 years, it is said, the Hale-Bopp Comet comes within sight of the Earth, a dating that coincides with 6,000BCE (Tsunami that sank At-al-land), 2000BCE (dating of the Flood of Noah), and 1997 which seems to herald yet another coming catastrophe. 

"After great misery for mankind an even greater approaches when the great cycle of the centuries is renewed. It will rain blood, milk, famine, war and disease. In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a trail of sparks."

Nostradamus Century Two - 46.

We are told that King Aethelwulf (father of Alfred the Great) was of the line of Sceaf (Scefingas); this line was of the West Saxons, and became the Ruling House of the English. I have mentioned on occasions before how there is a problem in the West Saxon Royal Line, and that is with Cerdic and Cynric. Since Cerdic cannot be rendered as Old English it is deemed a 'scribal error' for Cedric; however there are two names - Ceredig and Cynrwrg - who appear in a Royal Line of the Welsh, in an area of Wales known to one have a Saxon presence. It has been suggested that Cerdic and Cynric were 'ealdormen' (they were not said to be 'kings' in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles) and thus vassals under the Romans. Hence, they were here before the later English invasions and perhaps joined forces with their closest  blood-kin against the Romano-Britons. Whatever the case the foremost leader of the English was Hengest, and his name can be rendered 'Geist of Ing' so he represents Ingwe as the 'Manu of the English'. The West Saxons adopted this title later, and were earlier known as the Gewisse -'The Wise Ones'. This suggests that they were more than just a 'tribe' but some sort of 'Esoteric Order' which no doubt held the Mysteries of Ingwe.
