Iggdrasil & The Runes

"My final decision is that the universe is just like a tree, with roots upwards. Just as a tree has branches and leaves, so the universe is also composed of planets which are fixed up in the tree like the leaves flowers, fruits etc."

This quotation is from a letter from Srila Prabhapada to Svarupa Damodara dasa on April 27th 1076, quoted from 'Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy' by Richard L. Thompson published in 1989. Here we have an idea, originating in the Vedas, that the cosmos is akin to an inverted tree. If this is right then it is perhaps also right to see Iggdrasil as an inverted tree too. The Tarot Card of The Hanged Man suggests Woden hanging upside-down on the Irminsul.
 

 

 

 

When we consider that The Hanged Man of the Tarot is most likely based upon Woden hanging on Yggdrasil and peering downwards thus gaining the Rune-Staves for his Folk, this fits in perfectly. Indeed, we are thus concerning ourselves with the concept of the Spinal Column (which we refer to as 'Me-Ru') being Iggdrasil which is an inverted tree whose roots reach into the heavens and whose branches reach down to the earth. We can thus see that this is the polar opposite to what we expect in the physical world - we are entering another parallel world here.

 

The sequence of runes would thus be as I have suggested in articles in the past, the runes moving downwards along the spinal column.

 

The 24 segments of the Spinal Column moving downwards - Feoh, Ur, Thorn, Os, Rad, Ken, Gyfu, Wyn, Haegl, Nyd, Is, Ger, Eoh, Peorth, Eolhs, Sigel, Tir, Beorc, Eh, Mann, Lagu, Ing, Daeg, Edel.

 

 

The five fused vertebrae making the Sacrum - Ac, Aesc, Yr, Ior, Ear.

 

 

The four fused vertebrae making the Coccxy - Cweorth, Calc, Stan, Gar.

 

 

The World Tree and the Sacred Mountain are interchangeable symbols, and just as the tree is inverted, so is the mountain. Indeed, this is how Mount Meru/Sumeru is shown in some instances.  

 

When we contemplate the sequence of runes - 24/5/4 - straightway we see that the 24 runes symbolise the 24 vertebrae, whilst the fused vertebrae are represented by the 9 added runes of the Northumbrian Rune-Row, the row which developed here in England. We have thus two distinct sets of runes 'fused' together -

 

Ac-AEsc-Yr-Ior-Ear

 

Cweorth-Calc-Stan-Gar

 

In the first sequence we have the Oak, the Ash, and the Yew tree with Ior as the Serpent and Ear the Eagle (*), thus having links to Yggdrasil, where the Serpent is at the base, and the Eagle in the branches. In the second sequence we have the Four Hallows - Sword, Cup, Stone & Spear - but we also have the hidden runic message "White Stone" (Calc-Stan) at the centre. We should note that the White Stone of Ing has the meaning 'Gift of Ing - Fire' and it is thus interesting to note that in the last sequence we have the Gar-Rune which represents Gungnir - the Gift of Ing. Cweorth is the Flaming Sword wielded by the Last Avatar.

 

(*) Taking Hamasson's ideas on this rune.

 

Iggdrasil can be seen as interchangeable with the Sacred Mountain which lies on the White Island. This can be seen in the map below, which shows the existence of Thule-Hyperborea which stood in the far north before the catastrophe that sank it. The Gar-Rune, as I have suggested before, seems to symbolise the Sacred Mountain and the Four Sacred Rivers branching out from it.

 

 

We have more than one tradition of this Sacred Mountain and the Four Sacred Rivers, including that of the tale about the Garden of Eden. Scholars are always looking for evidence to prove where these four rivers were. However, we must consider that this is an Archetypal Myth and that after the great catastrophe that overcame Thule-Hyperborea legend has it that it was taken into another dimension. J.R.R. Tolkien uses this as the theme for his destruction of Numenor where he infers that the access to this land was lost because - 'All roads are bent', that 'the kings of Men knew that the world was indeed made round'. And again, we find this statement - 'Therefore the loremasters of Men said that a Straight Road must still be, for those that were permitted to use it.'

The statements suggest that at one time the lands were flat (suggesting a 'Flat Earth') but with the sinking of At-al-land (Numenor is named Atalante by Tolkien). the Earth became round. This statement would seem ridiculous, but when reading Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy a clearer view comes to light. I am here going to briefly go through this since it is important in view of the latest argument between those supporting a 'Round Earth' and those supporting a 'Flat Earth'. Indeed, anyone involved in this might well get hold of this book since it synthesises both ideas, showing that both are right (in one sense) and both are wrong (in another sense) - I will explain.

Looking at this legend again I feel that the only way that we can explain away the sinking of Thule-Hyperborea (the first era) and that no remnants can be found is that the whole continent moved into a different dimension. To explain the obvious discrepancies in the Vedas, the outlandish numbers and the enormous height of Mount Meru which cannot exist on this Earth we have to consider that there is another dimension which they exist, separated from this one. This is the reason why the Vedas contain references to a Bhu Mandala and why the Earth is portrayed as being flat in such mandalas.

What we have here is the idea that in ancient time there was a higher state of consciousness open to certain Higher Beings (Rishis or Divine Beings) in which they saw the Earth in a different way than our physical senses see it today. We see the Earth as round (which it is in our consciousness) but they could see it in a higher state of consciousness in which the worlds appeared as flat and in 'layers'. (I am here reminded of the term used in Norse Mythology - Orlog - which can mean Primal Layers.) This is the theme of the book mentioned here, and it reconciles the contradictions in the Vedas.

So when we say that Thule-Hyperborea 'moved into a different dimension' it is the same as saying that human consciousness lost the ability to see it, humans (in the main) being locked into the physical world, unable to gain access to higher states of consciousness and to higher worlds. The 'veils' between these worlds sometimes opened and some people could gain access to them - to the worlds of gods, elves, dwarves, joten etc.

This brings us to another interesting concept from this book; in ancient myths these higher realms were projected onto our three-dimensional level. The only explanation for this is that they can also exist at a three-dimensional level. In easy terms to understand there are locations on Earth where access can be gained to these other dimensions, where higher states of consciousness can access these higher worlds - we know them as 'ancient sites' such as stone circles, cromlechs, barrows and such places as the Long Man of Wilmington and Woden's Barrow in Wiltshire, which are 'gateways' to other worlds. At such places higher realms can run parallel to their three-dimensional spots upon this Earth.

Our own Wodenic Cosmology thus postulates a White Island in the centre of a Circular Ocean in the centre of which is a White Mountain from which run Four Sacred Rivers. The whole mandala makes up a White Tree with the Rainbow Bridge (Seven Chakras) connecting the worlds together. This is our 'Flat Earth' which exists in a higher dimension, and this is accessed only by those allowed to go on the Straight Way.

All of this explains why established scholars cannot find any evidence of much of our mythology and legend, since it does not exist in our dimension, or in our world, but in a parallel dimension or parallel world - what is sometimes called the Inner Earth. The world of matter is obviously corrupted and is dying, in need of a renewal and a destruction to rebirth. Whilst all is corrupted, rotten and decaying, there lies a perfect world as it was in the Golden Age running parallel to our dying world. There Baldaeg the Beautiful awaits his return, this being Odainsacre in Norse Mythology, the place where no evil can enter, and where peace and harmony reign.

Feoh-Ur-Thorn-Os-Rad-Ken-Gyfu-Wyn-Haegl-Nyd-Is-Ger-Eoh-Peorth-Eolhs-Sigel-Tir-Beorc-Mann-Lagu-Ing-Daeg-Edel-Ac-AEsc-Yr-Ior-Ear-Cweorth-Calc-Stan-Gar.

When we get to the Gar-Rune we reach the Sacred Mountain (Mount Su-Me-Ru) which is the Sacred Centre from which the 'otherworld' can be seen by those who are deemed fit to do so. The 33 runes are the only rune-row to take us through the whole of the spinal column (Mount Su-Me-Ru) and the only one to feature the Sacred Mountain at the base (head really, since we are working upside-down). And the formula A-L-U is thus not 'inverted' as such since it is the 'right way up' when we find that the Sacred Tree itself is 'inverted'. All of what we have been doing is now fitting into place with the knowledge that Iggdrasil is the 'Inverted Tree'.

The Sacred Tree features no less than three times in the last AEttir of the Futhork - Ac (Oak), AEsc (Ash) and Yr (Yew) - which cannot be a coincidence (although Yr is really 'Yew-Bow' rather than the actual tree). We also have (as stated before) the World Serpent (Ior) and the World Eagle (Ear) within the same AEttir. Indeed, these all come together in one group which is equivalent to the Sacrum (Sacral Area). Below these is the Coccyx made up of the last four runes - Cweorth, Calc, Stan, Gar - the Four Hallows or Graal Runes.

 

The Sacrum is shaped like an inverted triangle which is very interesting since the symbolism we used for this area is just that - an inverted triangle. The Coccyx is the 'tail-bone' and is shaped like a tail, which suggests that giving 'The Devil' (i.e. Woden portrayed by the Judaeo-Christians as the 'Evil One') a tail may be more symbolism than reality. It is also interesting to note that in the Vedas and other works that follow them the Sacred Mountain is most often seen as being upside-down. If we symbolise the mountain as a triangle the inverted triangle fits nicely.

 

We should also note that the Left-Hand Path (Way of the Hero) uses the technique of a reversal of values, just as postulated by Friedrich Nietzsche. This would seem to explain the widdershins dance of the witches, and the idea that 'Satanists' used the 'Lord's Prayer' but spoken in reverse. All of this suggests that the downward movement of the runes along the spinal column is right, and that Feoh starts at the Crown, and Gar is the last rune at the base, representing the Sacred Mountain.

 

The Yule Tree ('Christmas Tree') has the obvious symbolism of the World Tree on which are the planets and stars (round balls and the lights twinkling) which lie in the branches. Of course, this is all upright, but somewhere I have read (not sure where) that certain shamanic societies used an inverted tree to symbolise the World Tree. If we look at the shape of the tree it is not unlike a triangle with the apex as the upper point. There are two runes which could link to this idea - the Germanic Ing-Rune and the Daeg-Rune (turned sideways).

'Yet once they were, and therefore they still are, in true being and in the whole shape of the world as at first it was devised.'

 

The Simarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien.

 

The above statement suggests that the mythical Golden Age and its structure exist as they have always been, but in another world that can be accessed only by those chosen to do so. To get there the Straight Way has to be taken, rather than taking the curvature of the world as we see it today in our normal state of consciousness. The runes have always been written as straight lines and perhaps this is not just because they were carved in wood and stone, but perhaps reflecting this message to take the Straight Way. Nature builds in curves, and yet we have the Ley-Lines which again run in straight lines. These, we know, connect ancient sites deemed holy to our ancestors, sites that could be areas where two worlds run together, and where doorways to other worlds lie.

 

It cannot be a coincidence that the White Stone of Ing can be found in England, and that within the Futhork can be found the message 'White Stone'. The central rune (Ken) in its alternative version, with the added 'cross' is very similar to the symbolism of The Hanged Man who hangs as a Cross over a Triangle. This is what can be seen on the Stone of Ing. We also have the message Gift of Ing on the stone, which is the meaning of the Gar-Rune, symbolic of the Sacred Centre.

 

In a previous post on this blog I worked upon the idea of the Gar-Rune as the Sacred Mountain; this came about through looking at the top of an Egyptian Pyramid of glass, which showed clearly the Gar-Rune symbolism. We are thus faced with the possibility that the Great Pyramid is the top of what we could see as the Germanic Ing-Rune, with its reflection below it. That is, the Great Pyramid is the 'gateway' to another world. If I am right then maybe the idea of the secrets of Atlantis being hidden below this is right, but maybe these secrets do not lie in the physical world at all. Maybe this is why no-one will find them, since they exist in another world running parallel to ours, but a world that has an 'entrance' for those with the key to enter. This explanation could also help us to understand the symbolism used in certain legends connected to certain sites, such as the 'burial of treasure' (never found) or the burial of a 'Golden Knight' (again never found). Maybe these are the 'keys' to gaining entrance to these realms. If so then we have to look at these legends again with different eyes.

 

The Steed of Woden is Sleipnir who has eight legs, four of which are used to travel in our world, and four to travel in other worlds. I recall distinctly connecting the Hale-Bopp Comet with Sleipnir, which suggests that this may not have been quite as it seems. It did stand in one place for several weeks before it disappeared totally - in the area of the Beorc-Rune in the Northern Skies. I have suggested in a previous post that this may not have been quite 'of this world' and that its being 'sent by Morgana' may hold the key to the mystery of the Great Comet, and also why it appeared around 4,000 years ago at the time of the final sinking of At-al-land.

 

 

 

 

 

This Masonic Symbolism seems to show something whose meaning has been lost to Freemasonry, since it shows -

 

 

• A Comet,
• The 'Horn of Plenty' (the dream told of Capricorn - the Horn of Plenty),
• The Ing-Rune (in the form of the mason's square),
• The letter 'G'. 

The letter 'G' has a meaning unknown to me, but the symbolism seems to suggest a solar meaning, with the 'rays' coming from it. 'G' is the seventh letter, for what that is worth.

Travel between the worlds was known by the ancients, who seem to have been able to do so through the power of altered states of consciousness (as can be done today by some). But travel was also done by the use of the Vimanas which seem to be not unlike our UFO's today. These seem to travel in a way that defies our physical science and consciousness, but which could be explained if they entered and left our world (dimension) and thus used laws not of our world.

In order to understand these different states of consciousness, different worlds or dimensions, the keys to gaining access to these worlds, and that the contradictions between a 'Round Earth' and a 'Flat Earth' can be reconciled through an understanding of different states of consciousness, we have to revive the most ancient Aryan Science and reject the Judaic Science which has locked us into the physical world and lost us access to other worlds. This seems to start with Quantum Science.

Iggdrasil is also the White Tree which symbolises the White Race; it is shaken, battered near to total destruction (as the White Race is today) but it will be renewed after Ragnarok. It is the Fires of Black Surt that will destroy the worlds, but these fires also renew the worlds. Black Surt is the destroyer just as Sankarsana destroys the Three Worlds in Indian Lore, the latter also coming from the South. Sankarsana is also the 'king of eternal bliss', so we should not see Surt as an 'evil' being. Indeed there is a link between the Cweorth-Rune and Surt, since an alternative name for the rune is 'Tris' which is SIRT backwards. Cweorth is the Flaming Sword which is the weapon of Kalki and of Surt.

We need to consider the alternative symbolism to the World Tree and that is the World Mill. This can be seen as three concentric circles or 'millwheels' turning around a central axis. The force behind this turning process is Waendal or Mundilfore. Thus the Three Worlds of Asgard-Midgard-Hel turn around a Central Axis (Cosmic Pillar). In the Vedas we have the symbolism of the 'Churning of the Milky Ocean' where we find a tortoise, a central churn, and a serpent being pulled in opposite directions by the Devas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons). This can also be found in the Maya Codex Tro-Cortesianus from the Mayan era. The 'churn' would be linked to the quern and thus to the Cweorth-Rune. Indeed, this rune is the Fire-Twirl.

The movement of the World Mill would thus be akin to the Nyd-Rune where the Need-Fire is produced by a forward-backward movement, a movement suggesting the conflict of opposites which sustains the movement itself. This movement, it must be noted, creates fire by friction. This is the realm of Agni (Inga) who we see being our Hama/Heimdall, the Son of Waendal or Mundilfore. His 'father' is the Turner of the Mill-Wheel, and he sends his 'Son' down to us as an Avatar. Hama is a projection of Waendal. (Waendal is. of course, the Long Man of Wilmington and is also the Guardian of the Gateway to the Gods).

The Hagal-Rune (Snowflake) can be seen as the four directions that radiate from a Central Axis (an upright stave). This can also be seen as a mandala of the Flat Earth (four directions) with the Pole Star at the top (North) and the South Star at the base (South). Thus the rune is one of wholeness and of the heildom.

The Nyd-Rune is symbolic of the Sword in the Oak-Tree, the Sword plunged there by Woden and taken out by Sigmund the Wolsunga. The tree thus represents the Cosmos, from which this Sacred Sword is removed. It can only be taken out by a 'Son of Woden', and when his time has come it is Woden that breaks the Sword with the Spear Gungnir. This Sword is then re-forged by Sigurd the Wolsunga who slays the Dragon that guards the Gold Hoard (this has various levels of meaning, not least that he slays those who guard the 'Gold Hoard' for real).

The Primal Time or 'First Time' is the key to understanding the concept of the Iggdrasil Mandala and the Sinking of Thule-Hyperborea. This is referred to in Norse Mythology as Ar Var Alda - The Primal Time or Old Time. The key to this is the revival of an Aryan Science based upon the concept of Implosive Science as postulated by Miguel Serrano. This is symbolised by the Black Sun whose rays move inwards towards the Sacred Centre. The Sig-Runes are reversed because it is symbolic of this inward-movement.

 

 

 

The above crop-formation shows the Black Sun with the Lightning-Flashes being as the normal Sig-Rune. At the centre is a 12-spoked wheel. The later 'Black Sun Crop-formation' appeared as the normal Black Sun, but with some subtle changes (not the subject of this post). The Black Sun is the source of the Universal Energy, the Vril or Odic Force, or whatever name we wish to call it. This may well be the Dark Energy or Dark Matter mentioned by scientists, although this may also be something different, the subject of future research.

 

After the sinking of Thule-Hyperborea and then At-al-land, certain Aryan Adepts travelled across the world teaching the remnants of the catastrophes the Old Sciences which were being lost. We see these in the Shemsu Heru or 'Followers of Horus' in Egypt, the Seven Rishis of India, and maybe even the Seven Sons of Mimir in Norse Mythology, who arise prior to Ragnarok at the End-Time. These were the White Gods who travelled to different areas teaching the remnants of the various races an advanced science, which has come down to us only as 'myth' and 'legend'.

 

Our task today is to preserve the Ancient Wisdom through a knowledge of Iggdrasil (Cosmic Lore) and through the Ancient Runes, discovered by Woden as he hung upon the Wolf-Tree. Woden is the High God, hence the reason we find that he sacrificed 'himself to himself'. He hung upon the Cosmic Tree (Cosmos) in order to gain the knowledge of the runes, which could only be done in a higher state of consciousness - hence the Shamanic Rite.

 

As a matter of interest, and one needing further research and meditation, the Yr-Rune in its Anglo-Frisian form contains the following secrets -

 

• The Ur-Rune which suggests the realm of the Primal Time.
• The ur-glyphic Irminsul whose form is the WAN-WIL-WEH of the Milky Way, our galaxy.

This rune thus suggests the primal form of our galaxy - the Ur-Type. It is also the Yew-Bow or Yew-Tree where the source of the Yew-Bow stems. The Yew is an evergreen tree with needles, something applied to Iggdrasil as the 'Needle-Ash'. The Eoh-Rune or Ehwaz-Rune is itself the Yew-Tree, but its name stems from the Life-Force or Universal Force.

 

The next rune - Ior - is seen as the Midgard Serpent (Iormungand) who bites his own tail, suggesting the Centripetal Force which pulls inwards towards the centre. The glyph is an upright stave with an X-Cross, but unlike the Hagal Snowflake the X-Cross is higher up the stave. It suggests a 'windmill' as we know them today. Indeed, we can see how the symbolism remains even with drastic changes in the world, for the 'windmill' of yesterday has just the same shape as the 'wind-turbine' of today's modern technology. We may well see the following symbolism in the Ior-Rune (Serpent) and the Ear-Rune (Eagle) -

 

• As Iormungand the serpent biting its tail represents the centripetal force of attraction, contraction and implosion.
• As Ear the eagle represents the centrifugal force of repulsion, expansion and explosion.

We have thus these two conflicting and opposite forces working around the Cosmic Tree (Ac-AEsc-Yr). The root-sounds for these would be in-wards and out-wards. We are thus faced with the suggestion as to why the area of the body at the base of the spinal column, the area known as the sacrum, is thus 'sacral' or 'sacred'. The whole area seems to symbolise the World Tree (Iggdrasil) in miniature, at the base of the spine. Using the Three Horns Meditation this area is linked to the Ur-Rune. The three Sacred Trees must thus represent three different facets of the World Tree, Iggdrasil, and I would suggest some ideas here -

 

The Oak - strength, durability, toughness, virility (the acorn is a 'phallic' symbol, and also the 'seed of creation').

 

The Ash - uprightness, steadfast since even when cut down it regenerates and 'coppices' itself easily, it reproduces abundantly, somewhat like a 'weed' through the keys being sent miles by the winds.

 

The Yew - as an evergreen tree it is 'eternal', indeed its name and the Eoh-Rune are linked to the idea of 'eternity' and 'everlasting'. Some species actually regenerate from inside as the outer tree dies, it is thus associated with Eternal Life or Immortality.

 

(We are here faced with the possibility that here lies hidden a three-stage Initiation Rite based upon these Three Sacred Trees, moving from the Oak, through the Ash, to the Yew, and thus to Immortality (the Yew being thus the 'Tree of Life'). The key to this is the transformation from the Serpent (Ior) to the Eagle (Ear). The Three Sacred Trees would also represent the means by which the Woden Initiate would change his/her life through emulating these positive traits in his/her life. The Oak would also be Thunor (Thor) and the Ash would be Woden, the Yew Tree would thus synthesise the two gods and their traits. We may guess that the Oak is Thunor, the Ash is Woden, and the synthesis is Wid-Ar as the Yew-Tree.)

 

In regard to the last four Graal Runes this would be the subject of a future post, but since the sequence Cweorth-Calc-Stan-Gar is centred around the Calc-Stan runes which suggest 'White Stone', then we are faced with the idea that somewhere here is a link to the White Stone of Ing. It is also likely that both the names Ing and Igg are the same, and that Iggdrasil is the 'Steed of Ing' who is an ancient form of Woden - the 'Terrible One'.

 

 

 

 

 

The Gift of Ing is the DNA Code as shown in the form of the Ing-Rune, and thus Ingwe is the god we must invoke to alter that DNA Code to advance our evolution towards the God-Man. The Gift of Ing is Fire - the Inga-Fire - and the Fires of Surt are the Fires of Bliss that will change the worlds, that will cleanse the worlds and create a renewal of Nature. Ignatus Natura Renovatus Integra - 'Nature renews whole by Fire' - INRI. 

 

If I am right here then the last Nine Sacred Runes are indeed the Key to the Mysteries of the Coming Man - the God-Man. These are an Initiation Rite designed to change mankind through a knowledge of the Holy Graal and through a knowledge of the Cosmic Tree. This involves an awakening of the Aryan Gene symbolised by the Gar-Rune (G-Ar or the 'Gift of Ar'). The symbolism throughout this last section is -

 

The Three Sacred Trees - Oak-Ash-Yew.

 

The Serpent at the base of the Tree.

 

The Eagle at the top of the Tree.

 

The Four Hallows or Graal-Runes - Sword-Cup-Stone-Spear.

 

It must be remembered that the Four Hallows are remembered in Irish Myth as the four sacred objects of the Tuatha de Danaan. These were brought from another world and did not originate here on Earth. The secret of these objects lies in the White Stone whence 'him that overcometh' will eat of the fruit of the 'Tree of Life' (immortality). The transformation will be achieved through the awakening of the Inga-Fire - 'Gift of Ing'.

 



Note: I feel that it is important to recognise that certain areas of our land are situated in such a position that the same area also exists at a higher dimensional level. This infers that access can be gained at these areas, access to certain areas within these other worlds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 



 

 



 

 

 



 

Uralten, the First Time, and the Seven Sages.

Hinduism has a concept of 'God' as being both un-manifest and manifest, as the One God of which the gods are projections. Most sections of Odinism do not recognise this concept, but in ancient Germania it is likely that it did exist, as I am going to try to show now. Woden is polytheistic and believes in many gods and goddesses, each with their own attributes, each being an archetype with their own archetypal myth. But we do have Woden as the All-Father, something we now must consider.

 

Tolkien studied Germanic and Celtic Lore, as well as having researched in other Indo-European myth and legend. He based his works on this and his cosmology starts with the idea of the Illuvater also known as Eru, both seemingly meaning 'The One'. The name Illu-vater is obviously Illu-Father, a name which reminds me of 'All-Father'. I think what we need to remember here is that in Hinduism as well as Germanic Lore it is not unusual to find a god becoming the 'High God' at some stage. So Woden becomes the All-Father, achieved through his actions and his struggles.

 

We have the name Uralten used in Germany, which is a variation of the name Wr.alda, the latter coming from the Oera Linda Book. Both would mean The Primal Old One, or The Primal Ancient One. Using the Old English we would render this Urealdan perhaps - Ur-eald-an. The Frisian Wr,alda is merely Uur-Alda which is 'Primal Old'. Significantly, in the Oera Linda Book the symbol of Wr.alda is the Yule or Yule-Wheel, a six-spoked wheel within a circle, which (it was said) the runes can be found. This I feel we should not dismiss, even though the book is obviously not historical, since it infers that the runes emanate from The One.

 

In the Eddu Kvaedi or 'Saemund's Edda' we find Voluspa which starts it off, and whose third stanza starts with Ar var alda, a phrase repeated at the start of Helgakvida Hundingsbana ('Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane'). This phrase is usually translated as 'in olden times' or something like that. I have suggested before that I see this as a direct reference to The First Time or The Primal Time which is something like the Egyptian Zep Tepi which also means 'The First Time'.

 

The god associated with Zep Tepi is Osiris, husband of Isis and father of Horus. He is the bringer of culture & agriculture to Egypt, so we are told. The Germanic equivalent would be our own Sceaf who also came at The First Time to bring culture and civilisation to the northern Island of Scandi. They are thus the same archetype in different traditions. We need to go to the Egyptologist R.T. Rundle Clarke to explain this -

 

"The creation of the myths was founded on certain principles. These are strange and, as yet, only partially understood. The most important element seems to have been as follows:

 

(a) The basic principles of life, nature and society were determined by the gods long ago, before the establishment of kingship. This epoch - Zep Tepi - 'the First Time' - stretched from the first stirring of the High God in the Primeval Waters to the settling of Horus upon the throne and the redemption of Osiris. All proper myths relate events or manifestations of this epoch.

 

(b) Anything where existence or authority had to be justified or explained must be referred to the 'First Time'. This was true for natural phenomena, rituals, royal regalia, the plans of temples, magical or medical formulae, the hieroglyphic system of writing, the calendar - the whole paraphernalia of the civilisation."

 

He gives an example of this which was that of the closing of the daily temple ritual where the priests raised a small figure of Maat - the Goddess of Law and Order - in front of the divine image. This meant that rightness and order had been re-established, but it was also a repeat of the event that took place at the beginning of the world - of some mythical happening in the time of the gods, the First Time.

 

I have touched upon all this before, so it is not new, but it is of extreme importance in understanding ritual and why it is necessary to look more carefully into our use of it within Folkish Wodenism. What is said here is merely another way of saying that we have to reconnect to the Sacred Centre since the High God here rises with the Primeval Mound (Sacred Mountain) which arises out of the Primeval Waters. Again, this is where the Mandala of Thule comes into play, for this also is the layout of the 'First Time'.

 

This starts at the point of the appearance of the 'High God' who can now be equated with Ur-eald-en or Uralten. He appears from the Primeval Waters on the Primeval Mountain (Su-Me-Ru) in what we can now call Ar var alda - the Primal First Time. This was the Golden Age of Perfection which we dream of a return to in our times, indeed we not only dream but we struggle to attain. This Golden Age comes to a sudden end when Osiris is slain by his brother Set. 

 

I have mentioned Sceaf as being similar to Osiris, and I have in the past linked him with Ingwe (Frey). Since Horus is the son of Osiris, and takes on his role as the Divine King then it may also be right to link Horus with Ingwe, the latter being 'The Son' and also 'The Hero-God' (Horus = Heru = Hero). Thus, we have an interesting link with Scyld Scefing who is 'Shield, Son of Sheaf' (Beowulf); Scyld would thus be the 'Hero-God', and in Beowulf it is he who arrives in a boat as the Divine Child. The Father and the Son are one - this is a typical saying in esoteric lore.

 

There is also an interesting connection between the 'First Time' in Egyptian texts (the Edfu Texts) and what is known as the Seven Sages. The words of these Seven Sages were written down by Thoth, the God of Wisdom, and this work located certain 'sacred mounds' along the Nile. These Seven Sages appear in ancient Babylonian tradition and are said to have 'lived before the flood'; they also appear in Indian tradition as the Seven Rishis, and are said to have survived the flood. It would thus appear that these Seven Sages are enlightend beings who survive a great catastrophe (flood in this case) and start the process of rebuilding at the dawn of a new age, referred to as the 'First Time'.

 

This does fit with what has been already said, since the arising of the Primeval Mountain from the Waters of Chaos suggests the start of a new age after a catastrophic change. This was the New Creation after the destruction of the Old World. We have the same idea in the Eddas where the Earth arises once more from the Waters of Chaos, renewed and regenerated. The same thing actually happens (in symbolism) when Noah's Ark lands on Mount Ararat (The Primeval Mountain) and the waters recede, thus a new age begins.

 

We can also see this theme when we find the phrase Ar var alda at the beginning of the Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane since he comes at a time when one world age passes and another begins, at the time of the beginning of what is known as the Age of Iron, the Dark Age or Kali Yuga (Warg-Age). This confirms that this phrase - Ar var alda - equates with the 'First Time' or 'Primal Old Time'.

 

According to the Edfu Texts the Seven Sages came from an island - 'The Homeland of the Primeval Ones - and that this island was destroyed by a flood. We may here be seeing a reference to the sinking of At-al-land in the north-west of Europe, when a remnant of those in these lands fled to Egypt and started a new civilisation there. These were the Builder Gods, The Sages, Lords of Light who were very much like an older shadowy brotherhood called the Shemsu Heru/Shemsu Hor ('Followers of Horus'). (We should note that these were the 'architects' who rebuilt the fallen world, and these were a Secret Brotherhood who held and passed on their secrets. Indeed, in a later epoch we find hints that these secrets were stolen by a Dark Brotherhood who slew the Divine King to get them. This Dark Brotherhood were responsible for the creation of Masonry, whose great 'God' is 'The Architect'. It seems that they used these secrets to build their New World Order as a parody of what is natural right and good.)

 

In these same Edfu Texts the first manifestation of the new world took the form of a rod - 'The Perch' - on which the Divine Falcon rested. In Heliopolis there was much the same symbol, this time the Bennu (Phoenix) sat upon the pillar or column (rod). What is interesting to us is that the symbolism here is that of the Saxon Irminsul which is the Column of Irmin topped by the wings of a Swan (or other bird).

 

The Seven Sages are known for their knowledge, wisdom and understanding, as the name suggests. Do we have any reference to them in Norse Mythology, Well, no, not directly at least; but we do have reference to the Seven Sons of Mimir who we are told awake just before Ragnarok, i.e. just before a great catastrophe that destroys the old world. These, as the name suggests, were the Seven Sons of Memory. This itself is a significant title since it does suggest that we have a group of sages who retain the Blood Memory of the Ar var alda  and who arise anew before a great catastrophe and who survive in order to rebuild after the disasters.

 

Indeed, these are the Seven Sleepers who lie asleep until awakened by the Horn of Awakening, and who take up the Seven Swords (of Wayland?) to do battle at the Ragnarok. The Heathen Teutons believed that near the ocean maelstrom (whirlpool) caused by Hvergelmer ('The Roaring Kettle') seven men slept from time immemorial under a rock. These are the Seven Sons of Mimir, who are great craftsmen (smiths) who made the weapons of the Gods. Mimir was a smith-god and his sons were smiths. It is also interesting to note that Mimir was the Wise God and the Seven Sages were known for their knowledge and wisdom.

 

Mimir's death ensured that the World Tree, Iggdrasil, would wither and begin to die; at the same time his Seven Sons fell into a deep sleep, awaiting the time of Ragnarok when they would resurrect in order to renew the World Tree and begin a new Golden Age. The key to the awakening of the Seven Sleepers is Hama's blowing of the Giallarhorn - the Horn of Awakening. This awakens the Powers of Light to the Last Battle.

 

Notes -

 

* The phrase 'Ar var alda' contains 'Ar alda' which seems to be an alternative to Ur alda.

 

** In regard to Masonry their main symbol is the compass and square, tools of the 'builder'. This symbol is not far from our own Ing-Rune in its English version. Masonry appears, as stated, to have been a Secret Brotherhood holding the 'Secrets of Light' whose secrets were stolen by a Dark Brotherhood who slew the Divine Priest-King and stole these secrets. This seems to have been recorded in the legend of Hiram Abif.

 

 

More 'Celtic' Britain

 

 

Our 'British History' tells us that the early settlers in these islands were 'non-Indo-Europeans' without a jot of evidence to prove this. Then came the Celts and finally the Germanic Tribes. But evidence that Germanic Tribes were here in Britain in very ancient times is now coming to light, and gaining ground and credibility. In this post I am going to go into another piece of evidence for this theory, based upon a tribal name noticed by Hamasson.

 

Around 100 BCE a 'Celtic' tribe is said to have invaded an area of North Wales, this Iron Age tribe being known as the Deceangli or Deceangi, an alternative spelling being Decangli. This tribe occupied north-west and north-east Clwyd and northern Gwynedd. On a site called The History Files we find that they originally came from Ireland as part of a tribal alliance known as the Gangani or Concani who originated in the Leinster area of Northern Ireland. They appear to have moved across to the Lleyn Peninsular on the west coast of North Wales, the name possibly deriving from Laigin which is an older form of Leinster.

 

It would appear that this tribal alliance split and part of them moved eastwards, becoming what is known as the Deceangli. The same people occupied what is now known as Anglesey where their power was destroyed by the Romans. The Roman Paulinus attacked the Deceangli on Anglesey, slew the Druids and destroyed their sacred groves. Julius Agricola later attacked the Deceangli in Anglesey, defeated them and finally subjugated this tribe under Roman rule.

 

This post was inspired by a piece of information given to me first by my good friend Hamasson, a piece which gave a brand new meaning to this 'Celtic' tribe. I have since studied this further, and here I am going to add further proof to this theory through my own experience, living in Gwynedd for around four years, and working for a local newspaper there.

 

 

On The History Files site we find that the name Deceangli stems from the prefix de- meaning 'from' in the Celtic Tongue. There are two reasons to suspect that this is wrong -

 

1. The name Decangli itself is clearly Roman and not Celtic so using a Celtic prefix would not apply.

 

2. Even so the prefix of the name Dece-angli or Dec-angli is not de- but deci- or dec-.

 

Indeed, the prefix -angli is the Roman equivalent to -angle which they use of the Angles or English! When we consider the Welsh version of the name (and we are here concerned with Wales) it is Tegeingl. So the prefix Dece- is a Romanised version of Tege which in the Welsh Tongue means 'fair' or 'beautiful'. Thus we have the Fair Angles or the Beautiful Angles. Immediately I am reminded of the Christian Priest who when first seeing a group of Angles declared that they were Angels because of their fair appearance.

 

The original tribal name Gangani appears to have been derived from the Welsh 'cangan' meaning 'branch', and thus suggests that they were a 'branch' of some greater nation of peoples. Although the Tegeangli were a part of this 'branch' they too split off to form their own tribe, having moved further eastwards.

 

But what we have here seems to be a branch of the Saxon Nation or Angle Nation which moved in around 100 BCE. The Poems of Sidonius confirm that the Saxons were here in Britain around the time of Julius Caesar, so this seems to fit in with this. We here have a valid reason for the name 'Anglesey' which is Old English for Angle's Island. It is also important to note that Anglesey was the Druid stronghold, and the centre of resistance to the Romans, and it was here that this power was crushed - and this was against the Fair Angles. The term 'Druid' is used in Norse Mythology and not restricted to the 'Celts'; indeed, since again we are proving that these islands were far more Germanic than we have been told, then the Druids were part of our tradition too. These ideas seem to suggest this to be right.

 

Now I shall recall my own experiences in North Wales which definitely confirm this theory. Whilst living there I worked for the North Wales Weekly News which produced a free newspaper for the area. In one issue was a piece about the results of a DNA test which found that many people along the Conway Valley had the Blood Group A as opposed to the normal Blood Group O of North Wales. Blood Group A is a Scandinavian Blood Group - i.e. Germanic. This was seen as being 'Viking' by the newspaper. What I did was to write a letter that was published in the Letters to the Editor, a letter linking this Germanic Blood Group to the White Dragon and thus akin to the English. Not actually realising that I worked at the place someone tried to smear me through the newspaper in a very sinister way - the details will not concern us yet. With this new evidence coming to light when Hamasson mentioned this tribe it fits with the DNA testing of this whole area. These are some of the places known to have been used by the Deceangli -

 

• Prestatyn (Clwyd).
• Llandudno (Gwynedd).
• Pentre (Clwyd).
• Ruthin (Clwyd).
• Bryn y Gefeiliau (Gwynedd).
• Caerhun (Gwynned) - the principal centre.

It is also very strange to relate that it was whilst living in Gwynedd that The Hooded Man Mysteries were given to me, as well as the first steps towards the revival of the White Dragon as an English Symbol. These mysteries came to light whilst we lived on the Fairy Glen Road in Capelilo, Dwygyfylchi (pronounce that one!) which is near to Penmaenmawr between Llandudno and Bangor, with Llandudno Junction just over the Sychnant Pass.

 

The Romans conquered parts of Wales and thus, like the area we know as England, imposed their ways upon the inhabitants. Many of the names claimed to be Welsh are actually Greco-Roman, e.g. Tacitus becomes Tegid, and the famous Myrddin (Merlin) is actually Greek for 'myriad'. In such circumstances the Deceangli were absorbed into the Roman Empire.

 

Going back to the Welsh name Tegeingl we should break this down into Tege-Ingl and in doing so we clearly have the name Ing, as well as the title Engel used of the English Tribes or Angles. We have seen before how the Saxons honoured the god Irmin, the God of the Arya. The Saxons or Angles were of the great Aryan Race, descended from the most ancient 'Giants' (tall men) before the Great Flood - before the sinking of At-al-land.

 

There is no evidence of the Runes being used by any of the early peoples in these islands, but again no-one has ever really bothered to investigate if these symbols were used, maybe hidden within other symbolism. What we do know was used is the Ogham which is not a set of symbols, nor a script, but seems to have been some kind of code. An Odinist Rune-Magician once suggested that Ogham may have been a coded form to hide the Runes. Whatever the case Ogham is a very simple code using horizontal lines placed on the right and left of a vertical line, and horizontal and slanted lines placed across the vertical line, plus five other symbols.

 

Ogham is based upon a secret Tree Lore that was passed from Initiate to Initiate, thus keeping it alive through the ravages of time. There are different versions, and some seem be tainted with the Old Testament names, suggesting distortions through Middle-Eastern influence. However, this does not negate the fact that this is a valid system, and one first used by the Aryan Druids.

 

One of the areas where the Deceangli dwelt is Gwynedd, named after the Wild-Hunter God Gwyn or Wyn. Gwyn is Gwydion is Woden, so this area was dedicated to the god Woden (or rather his namesake used in the area). Gwyn actually means 'White' and thus the area honoured the 'White God' - the name 'wyn' is perhaps close to our 'wan' which means 'pale'. Here in England we find many names corrupted from Woden, these names using the prefix Wan-. Gwyn is the son of Nudd, and thus the 'Son of the Mist'.

 

The Decangli were thus Iron Age Germano-Celts who were said to have invaded around 100 BCE (if we are to believe the historians); they must first have been in Ireland, and a section moved across into mainland Britain, later again splitting into two. But it would seem that these people were originally akin to the English or Angles, being a part of the Germanic Nation of the Angles or Saxons.

 

It is also perhaps significant that when Merlin discovered the Island Dragons (White Dragon and Red Dragon) fighting at the centre of Britain he removed them to Dinas Emrys in Gwynedd. This itself suggests the movement of the White Dragon into this area. Dinas Emrys is named after Emrys, a Welsh rendering of Ambrosias, but the name was originally Dinas Ffaraon which means 'Hill of the Pharaohs'.

 

The main centre of the Deceangli was, as stated earlier, Caerhun, which was on the River Conway. The Conway Valley is the area where the DNA testing revealed the presence of a large percentage of Blood Group A. It is typical that when I pointed this out a smear-campaign was set up to stop the message hitting home. What was also significant was the cover-up which came after I made a complaint about the smear-tactics used in a front-page article; an apology was made in a couple of lines on one of the pages near the back of the paper - a typical ploy to ensure that their message got more attention, whilst the apology would not have been noticed by all but a few people. When I asked them to check who had placed the article in I was told they could not find that out, yet when asking someone who was in a position to know what goes on he told me they would have it all on the computer system. In my position it was impossible to find out who had done it.

 

The Tegeingl Flag still exists as the Arms of Flintshire, assigned to Edwin Tegeingl (Edwin ap Gronwy) (*), the eleventh century King of Tegeingl. This flag is shown below -

 

What is clearly noticeable is the colours - Black Red on White background, Black-White-Red being the ancient colours of Eternal Germania. This has a 'flory' cross in black with four black choughs (**) with red beaks and red feet, and also includes four fleur-de-lys on the ends of the cross, what could originally have symbolised the Irminsul.

 

(*) This may not be true since it was some centuries after when it was attributed to Edwin.

 

(**) Choughs are coastal jackdaws.

 

 

 

 

The above coat-of-arms clearly has the Fleur-de-Lys on the top (used in Wales) and has a more equal-armed cross. It seems clear that the Tegeangli have been remembered to this day in this area. In the first image the birds look somewhat like gulls, whilst in the above they look more like the jackdaw family; this is perhaps because they were later taken for gulls because they were the most numerous coastal birds in the area.

 

A plaque in Mold records a battle fought between the Saxons and Picts against the Britons (Welsh), this being around 430 CE. In 365 CE the Roman historian Ammanius Marcellinus clearly identifies Rome's enemies in Britain at the time -

 

• Dicalydones
• Verturiones
• Scots
• Attacotti
• Saxons 

The text of Marcellinus is not clear as to whether the Saxons were settled here or were sea-raiders since he actually mentions the Franks and Saxons attacking 'by land or by sea'. The Dicalydones or Dicaledones were perhaps the Caledonians, the Verturiones were Picts and the Attacotti were a tribe whose roots are obscure but from one legend we find that they were a Royal Clan descended through the male line from Atlas, the First King of Atlantis. We find also that a common Pictish name was Oengus or Angus which recalls Ingwe/Ingui/Ingus.

 

These ideas give further weight to the theory that the English Folk dwelt here in these islands in ancient times. What we say will no doubt fall on deaf ears in regard to the Establishment, but our main concern should be to revise English History in order to awaken the English Folk, so what the leaders of the Establishment think or say matters not one jot.

 

 Note (added August 2016) - The area of the Tegeingl was actually known in later times by the English as 'Englefield' which clearly shows that it was occupied by the Engle-Kin or Angle-Kin.





 

 

 

The Fox's Prophecy

The Fox's Prophecy was known to have been around in 1871 but there are pointers to it being older than this time. It is a startling prophecy since much of it has already come about, indeed it is true to say that nearly all of it seems to have come about. It is a stark prophecy about England and the English Nation, and although I have covered this in one of our magazines I feel that it is important enough to do a post on the subject.

 

The prophecy starts off with a look at the English countryside through the eyes of a lone huntsman, emphasising the beauty and quiet of the land, with mention of the small animals that abound. At this point we find that the huntsman has lost his companions and the hounds. It is whilst he begins seeking his lost companions that he sees an 'aged fox' sitting beneath a tree. The gaze of this old fox made his 'blood run cold'. Here we can see that the 'aged fox' is no ordinary fox, and this is borne out when he tries to blow his hunting-horn his lips refuse to blow, 'mastered by that fox's eye'. It seems, we are told, that the fox's eyes shone with 'an unearthly fire - fire that could never die'. We are then told that the fox addressed the huntsman who -

 

'Heard as they who in a dream

The fairies music hear.'

 

This makes it clear that this prophecy has come through the consciousness of an individual in a dream-like state or as a 'vision'. This proves the validity of the prophecy, which needs no real proving since what it says has already come true, for anyone but a fool to see clearly.

 

'Last of my race, to me 'tis given

The future to unfold,

To speak the words which never yet

Spake fox of mortal mould.

 

Then print my words upon your heart

And stamp them on your brain,

That you to others may impart

My prophecy again.'

 

The first part tells of the coming time when fox hunting would be banned, and that the hunt would run no more in England. Remember, this is 1871! The fox himself laments this since he feels that the fox and the hunt are bound together 'o'er wide England's green domain', and that it is -

 

Better by wily sleight and turn

The eager hound to foil,

Than slaughtered by each baser churl

Who yet shall till the soil.'

 

The fox then goes on to foresee even darker times -

 

'For not upon these hills alone

The doom of sport shall fall;

O'er the broad face of England creeps

The shadow on the wall.'

 

The old customs will pass and die away, new and ridiculous fashions will rule, the woods and forests would fall by the axe, and the hedgerows and copses would disappear - all of which have come about during the last 100 years, after the times when the prophecy was penned.

 

The manly sports of England

Shall vanish one by one;

The manly blood of England

In weaker veins shall run.'

 

It is not obvious to all that 'manly sports' have been slowly destroyed by what is usually termed the 'nanny state'. Whether we agree or disagree with such sports the point is that everything strong and manly is being taken away. Men have become softer, weaker and more effeminate, and will become more so as time goes on. Then a hint of the replacement of English Farming by agribusiness is given, when nothing shall escape the progression of rampant technology.

 

Degeneration would set in and the sports of our forefathers 'to baser tastes shall yield'; the 'vices of the town' would displace the 'pleasures of the field', i.e. the urban sprawl would take hold whilst Rural England would be left dying in its wake. This would be down to 'progress', when the ancient landmarks would one by one sink under the 'tide' of 'progress'. The great names 'writ on the roll of time' would be mocked by 'base churls', in other words everything that was held great, and all of the great English Heroes, would be mocked by the base masses. Religion would be 'held a jest' and 'loyalty a crime' - we are certainly in these times!

 

The education of the people would be in the hands of 'utilitarians', and religion would no longer be part of the school teaching or work. Here it has come about in our 'multi-cultural society' that religion is still taught in a sense, but it is done in a sinister and subtle way by using many different religions and teachings, but not actually teaching any form of religion at all, nor sticking to any particular religion either. The prophecy was penned in a time when Christianity was strong so it is bound to be tainted with this religion.

 

Hospitality will be lost, and slowly the old festivals will be lost; what will replace religion is science, and the 'only God is gold'. Whilst the 'manly sports' will be lost 'unsexed women strive to prove herself the courser sex' - it is a fact that some women, through the false ideology of equality, try to emulate men, but they take upon themselves the worst traits of men in the process. This would cause disruption in the home where 'love and peace should dwell', which, of course, it certainly does. Indeed, the basic family unit breaks down today due to such ideologies - which are certainly not promoted by accident.

 

'Mechanics in their workshops

Affairs of state decide;

Honour and truth - old fashioned words -

The noisy mob derides.'

 

We are in the Age of the People when everything is upturned and the lowest rule whilst the highest serve -

 

'The statesman that should rule the realm

Course demagogues displace;

The glory of a thousand years

Shall end in foul disgrace.

 

The honour of Old England

Cotton shall buy and sell,

And hardware manufacturers

Cry - "Peace- lo, all is well".

 

Trade shall be held the only good

And gain the sole device;

The statesman's maxim shall be peace,

And peace at any price.'

 

Today our land is ruled by gross materialists who care only for economics, profit and gain, and above all the greed for gold and power. The armed forces would be drastically cut, which has happened, and indeed we are near to having our armed forces integrated into a 'European Army' which will be used against any European country that goes against the will of the ruling powers - the Bankers and Socialists who control the money and the mob.

 

Then we come to one section of the prophecy that foretells of the times we have moved into today, times when a horde of alien invaders would set foot upon our lands -

 

'The footsteps of th' invader,

Then England's shores shall know,

While home-bred traitors give the hand

To England's every foe.

 

Disarmed before the foreigner,

The knee shall humbly bend,

And yield the treasures that she lacked

The wisdom to defend.'

 

Here we can see the prophecy really come true in its every form, for today it is these 'home-bred traitors' who have given a hand to everyone entering these lands, no matter who they are, without thought of the fact that some may be criminals, some may bring diseases, or even bring into this country epidemics - what sort of people are they who would do this - the White Traitors. And above all, within the 'Muslim Community' there are terrorists whose aim is to take away from us our lands, and to impose alien laws upon our Folk, laws of an alien 'Mono-God'. But we can see hope, but we can also see that the treason of these White Traitors and their hidden masters will also bring upon these lands civil war and bloodshed -

 

'But not for aye - yet once again,

When purged by Fire and Sword,

The land her freedom shall regain,

To manlier thoughts restored.

 

Taught wisdom by disaster,

England shall learn to know,

That trade is not the only gain

Heaven gives to man below.

 

The greed for gold departed

The golden calf cast down,

Old England's sons shall raise again

The Altar and the Crown....

 

The blood of the invader

Her pastures shall manure,

His bones unburied on her fields

For monuments to endure.'

 

After this land is purged by 'Fire and Sword' sanity will reign once more and the English customs and culture will be renewed, as will the land be renewed....

 

'The listener started from his trance -

He sat there all alone;

That well-known cry had burst the spell,

The aged fox was gone'.

 

Thus ends The Fox's Prophecy which foretold of things to come, things which have already come about, and a warning of the coming of a mighty civil war here in England, after which England will arise from the ashes of its destruction and once more the world will be right and just. The society of envy and greed, of the greed for gold and power, of the lust for profit, and the society ruled by the merchants and the mob, will be swept away in a tide of coming revolution - the English Revolution!

 

This is not restricted to England since the whole of Europe is being invaded by hordes of outlanders. But for all this we should remember always that these lands are our lands and when we fight it will be upon the lands we have known since birth, the lands which our ancestors fought and died to protect. It is not we who fight upon 'alien fields'. Yes, the Doom of the Gods has come, Ragnarok, the Fall of Troy, and the survival of the White Race is at stake, but such times should be times of joy to us, for we should be proud and honoured to live in these times of trials.

 

 

Valhalla & The Archetypal Myth

Valhalla is one of the most important concepts within Folkish Wodenism; the ideas came for this post after a long conversation with our Garman, Raven. There is a need to clarify our position on the idea of Valhalla, and thus open the way to further promoting our Religious Faith as a means to uniting our Folk against the forces that seek to destroy us.

 

Valhalla is a place where the Fallen Heroes go after death, either a glorious death in battle (as in past heroic eras) or after death following a glorious life of struggle against the enemies of Gods and Folk. This has to be made clear, for today's era is most certainly not one of Heroes, and battle is not against the enemies of Folk and Gods, more for money, wealth, power and world domination - led by the enemies of our Gods and Folk. The only way to gain a place in Valhalla in today's world is in the glorious struggle for the survival of our Folk.

 

Some years ago it became clear that on all levels the dominance of older people was becoming plain, and the young folk of England cared little for politics, nor for any form of rebellion either - unless that 'rebellion' was organised and manipulated by the State Power for their own ends. There was a distinct gap which was not being filled, and the very real danger for the future of anything Folkish or Nationalist. This was admitted even by some elements of the so-called 'far-left' one of whom I spoke to in East Sussex and who was fully aware of the same danger. It appeared that young people were just not interested - in either 'left' or 'right'. All that has now changed!

 

Today there are young people here in England fully prepared to go out and do something to challenge this corrupt and alien state. Young people fully prepared to lose their freedom in order to do something. These young people have had to organise themselves because there was no-one to guide or organise them, and the importance of the 'age-set' began to become clear - a Young Movement was needed, organised by Young Folk. We have to say that it was the older generations who failed these young people, because they gave up the very thing that such young folk need - action on the streets! Here I am talking about street-action on a physical level, which is not anything to do with a religion, but I do feel that this is relevant to what I have to say.

 

When we were younger we too revelled in the street-action and the rush it gave to us; young people need action and adventure! Where is the adventure in canvassing and leafleting? This can be done by older people, whilst the young take up the street-action. The Volkish Movement in Germany and other parts of Europe prior to World War II was made up of groups who hiked, camped, trained in physical exercise, trained in the warrior arts, and much more. Young people seek adventure - young people need adventure.

 

So why have these young people suddenly started to rise at this crucial time in the survival of our Folk? Have we not entered the time of Ragnarok, the 'Fall of Troy', when the enemy have gained entry to our lands, when the enemy rule over our lands, and when the very survival of our Folk is threatened through a deliberate act of genocide? And when was it prophesied that the Einheriar would awaken, arise once more, leave through the 540 doors of Valhalla to fight the Last Battle here on Middle-Earth? Ragnarok! We are seeing this not only here in England, but around the White World.

 

Ragnarok is not a 'paradise' where people go to rest after death, it is a training- ground for the Warriors of Woden. It is a training-ground where the Fallen Heroes go to prepare themselves for the Last Battle, and in between for their next incarnation or resurrection on Earth. When the Fallen Heroes return to Earth they continue the Eternal Struggle against the Dark Joten, time and time again throughout the Cycle of the Ages. Their preparatory work is done in Valhalla where they fight each day, die and rise again as the Everlasting Army in the Everlasting Battle, 'cursed' to die again and again, and to be resurrected again and again each time they die.

 

What is the strength of the Muslim Extremist? It is his firm knowledge that winning a glorious death gives him a place in Heaven. This is the strength that the Muslim Extremist has and which our own people lack. Even Christianity had this type of belief at the time of the Christian Crusades, but today Christianity has lost a hold upon our people. It was a Christian belief that God would grant them a place in Heaven after they died in battle upholding their faith. And this is the key to this knowledge, since this concept did not originate in Judaeo-Christianity, nor indeed within Islam, for it came through our own Heathen Faith, in some ways through ancient Iran/Persia; at least this was most likely so in regard to Islam. It was a Heathen concept that the Christian rulers used to motivate their people to fight and die in battle.

 

Neither the media nor the masses can understand why young Muslims who are over here, or who were born here, will give up everything to go to fight for their brothers and sisters (metaphorically) in lands invaded by the 'West' - i.e. the Brit-Am Alliance. They do so because they have a belief, they have a religion that binds them, and they have the firm knowledge that they will earn a place in Heaven when they die in battle or struggle. Their firm religious belief in an afterlife and in the glory attained in death in struggle motivates their actions.

 

Please don't get me wrong here, I am opposed to Islam as much as to Christianity and Judaism, because they are all 'arms' of the same oppressive forces that seek the destruction of our Folk. And I certainly see nothing honourable in the wanton slaying of innocent people in the name of 'God'; to give one's life in suicide just loses another warrior in the struggle, and this is especially stupid when the 'enemy' are not those targeted. The result of their actions is what it is meant to be - to produce fear and terror in the masses so that they are more easily controlled.

 

My point here is that it is the concept of gaining a place in Valhalla through a glorious life of struggle for our Folk that matters. To not only believe but also to know that there is an afterlife, and that this life is not the only life, is to put the fear of death behind and thus to fear nothing, nothing at all. This is where the Archetypal Myth comes into play.

 

From my experience of the spring of 1997 I came to realise that the True Initiation is life and the struggle in life, and not some one-off ceremony alone. I also came to understand that my life was being lived as an Archetypal Myth with a pattern where events repeated themselves at different levels, and where certain synchronicities played themselves out time and time again. And that time and time again certain people are reborn to come together again, age after age, come together to renew the Ancient Eternal Struggle against the Evil Forces. Believing in an Archetypal Myth means recognising that there are certain things that are bound to happen, certain people we are bound to meet and certain events in our lives that match with Ancient Myth. Recognising these things is the recognition that our life is lived as an Archetypal Myth. We can then see who we are and what our destiny is.

 

The victorious movement has to have 'martyrs', those prepared to give up their freedom for their cause, and more so those who are prepared to give up their lives if necessary. There can be no glory nor victory unless there are those prepared to give up their lives, and more so those prepared to give their lives in this struggle. The enemy knows this, which is why religion is today losing its power, and a false 'religion' is being prepared to take its place, a religion based upon nothing but the physical world - One Life - Live It! This ludicrous phrase has been carefully placed in the feeble minds of today in order that there is no belief in an afterlife, which naturally engenders the fear of death since this is an ending with nothing but oblivion to follow.

 

The so-called 'paganism' of today has a belief in reincarnation, but it has nothing in terms of a glorious death in struggle. It is so vague as to be hard to decide exactly what it really means - reincarnation. The basis of 'karma' comes from Hinduism, but again this concept is so vague as to be rather meaningless, since what one knows as 'sin' to another is strength. What is 'evil' to one is 'good' to another. Christianity is a negation of all Aryan values as Friedrich Nietzsche so rightly stated. Christian values are the exact opposite to Heathen values. But the concept of Valhalla is as clear as the brightest light - it is for the brave and courageous who take part in the struggle against the Evil Forces of Chaos and Darkness struggle to maintain or to regain the Divine Order of the Gods.

 

Those who struggle will die, today more likely in this glorious struggle, but they will go to Valhalla to be welcomed by Woden, and there feast with their Fallen Comrades, to be 'resurrected' again in order to carry on this glorious struggle in a new life and a new time. The Warrior leads his life like an arrow, since this is the movement through life towards a given target. That arrow does not stop until it reaches the target, unless it's flight is distorted or stopped by something else. We have to be like that arrow, the life being the movement through our life, and the target is the Final Victory. We have to avoid distortion of flight and we have to avoid being stopped in flight, by bursting through any blockage, time and time again.

 

It is important to understand what Initiation really is; the word itself means 'to begin'. An Initiation is thus not the ending of a phase but the beginning of a new phase. We could say that it is the beginning of a journey along a path, or the beginning of the flight of the 'arrow' as used of the warrior. But this lasts through the whole of one's life, which itself is an 'initiation', a beginning or new beginning at each level. I can recall to this day the very last words of my brother who died of a form of cancer, and who did not share my beliefs, nor any beliefs as far as I know - 'Death is not the end - it is just a new beginning!' You could not put it plainer than that, and that was from one who knew!

 

Today we have young people prepared to give up their freedom for their cause and for their Folk. Our Folkish Religion goes further in promoting the idea that a glorious death in this Eternal Struggle will earn a place with the Gods, a place with the Immortals, the gaining of immortality in the sense that we are reborn, again and again, age after age, in order to fight the Everlasting Battle. Only a Folkish Religion believing in a life after death, an afterlife of training in Valhalla for the next 'round', can instil into our Young Folk the fearless courage necessary to achieve victory against overwhelming odds.

 

Hail the Glorious Dead!

Hail the Victorious Dead!
