The White Dragon

I am going to answer a comment made about our use of the White Dragon on a YouTube video called The Awakening of the White Dragon'. The comment states that this should not be a 'dragon' but a 'wyvern'. No doubt this springs from the rendering of a two-legged 'wind-sock' version on the Bayeux Tapestry. This 'wind-sock' version seems to have originated with the Scythians who used just this pattern for their war-banners, and being Sacae-Sani this is feasible.

 

Geoffrey of Monmouth mentions the White Dragon as representing the Saxons, and the Welsh Mabinogian mentions the Golden Winged Coiled Serpent of Germany. Both of these are interesting and both have a ring of truth about them, for the latter - a 'winged coiled serpent' is the true and original version of the 'dragon', whose name itself derives from the roots -

 

dra - 'to twist', 'to coil', 'to turn'

 

kan - 'serpent'

 

We have two distinct Saxon-German symbols here, the White Dragon on a red background, and the Golden Dragon on a blue background, the latter being a very early Aryan Symbol (Gold on Blue). We adopted the White Dragon on a red background since it stands in opposition to the Red Dragon of Juda-Rome, and fits into the ancient archetypal myth of the conflict of the Island Dragons for the supremacy of the Islands of the Mighty. I see it as extremely important that we follow this archetypal pattern in order to fulfil the Woden Destiny that drives us onwards and upwards in our struggle against the Forces of Darkness and Matter.

 

In a past article that I wrote, some years ago now, I mentioned the idea of the wyvern (two-legged 'dragon') and how it is quite possible that the name stems from wif-earn, i.e. that it is a corruption of wif-earn, which means 'Eagle-Woman'. This would link this symbol to the Norns, for the Eagle-Woman can be found on the arms of the town of Nurnberg (Berg of the Norns) in Germany. According to Guido von List this is the White Lady who often appears as a 'ghost' in ancient castles etc. and is the Arkona. (It is strange to relate that such a figure was seen to leave Germany after World War II, as if the Soul of the German Race had departed with its defeat.) So the 'wyvern' would have been an eagle rather than a dragon, if this idea is correct.

 

Again, whether we use a two-legged 'wyvern' or a four-legged 'dragon' is not really that relevant, for both symbols are important to our cause. But the true and original 'dragon' is the Winged Coiled Serpent which as the name suggests, does not need 'legs' at all - it is the Serpent (earthly and material) that is transmuted into the Winged Serpent (heavenly and immortal). Indeed, here the 'wyvern' as an Eagle is most certainly an alternative symbol since the shamanic symbols of the Serpent (Base of Tree) and Eagle (Top of Tree) have been used in Norse Mythology and elsewhere, and are linked to the awakening of the Kundalini-Force or the Fire-Serpent.

 

There are three distinct symbols that represent the higher Spiritual realms -

 

1. The Winged, Coiled Serpent (Dragon).

 

2. The Eagle.

 

3. The Swan.

 

All of these are in some ways interchangeable and they have been used to represent the same higher spiritual realms and powers. The bird on the front of the Sutton Hoo Mask could be any one of these (or all of them) and which one really does not matter a lot, since they mean the same in this type of symbolism.

 

We could see a formula arising here, taking the Serpent as an earthly, chthonic symbol, symbolic of the S-elf (self) which is the 'lower' part of our being (the letter 'S' is indeed symbolic of the Serpent which not only makes this sound, but also glides along the ground in this pattern). Using the arising of the Fire-Serpent (Kundalini) through certain spiritual practices, the S-elf is transformed (as the symbol of dragon-eagle-swan) into the Elf ('Shining One' or 'Immortal') as the Serpent grows wings and reaches for the 'heavens' (i.e. the higher spiritual realms). This is what is usually termed the 'Higher Self' but which the term 'Elf' would fit perfectly since this refers to a higher spiritual being.

 

If anything fits perfectly into this symbolism it is the Dragon since this should be a Winged, Coiled Serpent and which grows these wings out of the basic Serpent form, thus being transmuted from a material earthly form into a higher spiritual form - taking on an Immortal Body. The use of the White Dragon by Woden's Folk is simply to fit this role, the role that has been assigned to the English Folk, that of effecting an 'awakening', in this case the 'awakening' of the Fire-Serpent. To understand this an understanding of the esoteric meaning of the dragon is needed. This has nothing whatever to do with 'historical fact' (whatever that is) but with the careful use of symbolism in a Cosmic Struggle that is being fought on all levels. An archetypal myth is being played out here on Earth! That is the conflict of the White Dragon and Red Dragon.

 

 

The Occult Forces behind the 'Allies'.

A great deal is made of the 'Occult Reich' or 'Nazi Occultism' but rarely do we find anything about the occult forces that were working here in England, forces that were trying to shape a 'New World Order' after the catastrophe of World War II. The source of the information given here is from a work called The Magical Battle of Britain edited by Gareth Knight; this work contains the wartime letters of a Christian Occultist named Dion Fortune. These letters tell us how Dion Fortune used certain magical techniques to try to influence the course of the war, and to bring about the victory of the 'Allies' over the Third Reich.

There are two distinct things that emerge from a study of this work, the first being the influences behind her ideas and magical workings, and (to us) the important magical ideas that she used to influence events of her era - ideas that can easily be reversed and used against these same Forces of Evil that she and other Dark Lodges used against the rising of the Old Germanic Gods in the Germany of the time. Dion Fortune's letters prove beyond doubt that she did recognise the rising of the Germanic Gods, and she used certain archetypal images against the Germans, images that prove to us beyond doubt that we have said in other articles is true, and that the basic idea that there is a Cosmic Battle between the White Dragon and the Red Dragon is proven through her work.

The basis of her work is the communication between the physical world and the 'inner planes' where what she terms 'The Masters' can be reached - this is the basis of all occultism of the time. Unlike the contact between our Folk and our Gods we are never really told who these 'Masters' really are. What is important to us is that she clearly believes that this communication is possible, and that it can cause certain changes in society and the world. Those who believe that history is forged by economics or politics would be well advised to study these occult methods and how they were used by certain individuals to further their ends.

Dion Fortune started the Fraternity of the Inner Light which was involved in group-meditation throughout the war. Due to the war only a small group could sit together to undertake the meditation, but scattered individuals would also sit in their own areas and meditate at the same time - thus strengthening the group-power. This is an important point to consider since the same system can be used as a counter-force. There are also two vitally important ideas that she used in her work -

1. The Group-Soul - this is akin to the subconscious mind of the individual, but at the level of a race. This is a source of inexhaustible dynamic energy, which the individual or group can draw on to raise power. The Group-Soul runs deep and takes a very long time to change, evolving over time. What we need to consider here is that an individual, an avatar, can incarnate as the Race-Soul of a Nation and as such becomes that nation, speaks and acts for that nation, and represents the Folk as a unit of being.

2. The Group-Mind - This is like a veneer and is rather superficial, shifting and changing with the 'surface currents' and circumstances. The Group-Mind is easily influenced by propaganda and is easily changeable; it is thus the means by which people can be manipulated easily, whereas the Group-Soul runs far deeper and is far more stable and unchangeable.

In her second letter (15th October 1939) Dion Fortune gave an example of one way that occult meditation-visualisation can work upon the Group-Mind, and this (we should note) is the level at which our enemies are able to work, since the Group-Soul is far less easily influenced. The symbol used for this meditation was the 'Rose upon the Cross', this being a Red Rose. Indeed, she tries to prove that this method has worked by an example in which she states that an address by the Archbishop of York repeated almost word for word the meditation - something that we could verify only if we had the meditation and the address, but this is not so.

Symbolism is a key to these type of workings; this works firstly through the imagination but it is a mistake to think that this is the only thing that is happening, since the imagination eventually turns into form and reality (at a certain level of consciousness). In this case the symbolism used was the Rose and the Cross - the latter, of course, being a Christian Cross. We are here dealing with Christian Occultism, and indeed many of the groups working here at the time (the Golden Dawn for example, of which Dion Fortune was once a member) were using the Jewish Cabala as the basis of their magical workings - as did the Fraternity of the Inner Light.

The ideas and ideals of the group - and 'The Masters' who lay behind this work - were transmitted to the Group-Mind through these meditations. Again, Dion Fortune mentions an address by the Minister of War - a Mr Hore-Belisha - which seems again to have contained the very same ideas and ideals. We could call all this 'coincidence' but we could also see a confirmed plan being worked out both on a psychic and a physical level - both working at the same time through different groups and individuals - the Dark Forces of the Kali Yuga.

It is really important to understand the concept of the Group-Mind which can be seen as the 'collective-mind' of a Folk, and one which can be (as has been/will be) manipulated by the Dark Powers - but which can also be tapped through our own work. More importantly is the Group-Soul which can be accessed by Woden Initiates in order to awaken the Will of the Folk. This is the key - the awakening of the Will of the Folk!

Like much of the 'New Age' stuff banded about today, the work of this group also involved 'angelic' presences, these 'angels' being a Christian concept. Dion Fortune also mentions various Christian concepts used in her workings, proving beyond doubt that her work was concerned with the furtherance of the Judaeo-Christian aims, which are, and always have been, designed to distort the Folk-Soul of our Race. She is also 'in no doubt about the occult powers being deliberately invoked by the forces of Hitler's Third Reich'.

'This may sound fantastic, but it is only necessary to read the unexpurgated edition of Mein Kampf to see that the Nazis are fully alive to this, and that the manipulation of the racial subconscious mind is one of the strongest cards they play.' (Letter 19 - February 25th 1940).

It is important to note that the symbolism she refers to here is linked to the Rod of Power seen in the Blue Ray, this being held by a 'king on the throne'. This is indeed something we need to consider because the Os-Rune is an ancient posture used by a god or king wielding a Rod of Power, and Woden is often said to have a blue cloak. This is a sceptre wielded by the All-Father, and represents the Secret Wisdom  and Occult Knowledge which directs the invisible forces waging this Cosmic War.

'All that is necessary for this purpose is a nucleus of six or more sincerely dedicated persons gathered round one who has the necessary knowledge.' (Letter 19 - February 25th 1940).

Dion Fortune spells out the aims of her meditation work - '...we considered the ways in which ideals could be instilled into the group mind of a race by someone who was a member of that race, and who therefore had access to its group mind, living them out in actual practice "with intention".'  (Letter 20 - March 3rd 1940).

Here we can see that it is necessary that those who take part be a 'member of that race' and this is perhaps significant in that it goes some way to explaining the 'White Traitors' who have consistently worked with these Dark Forces against our Gods and our Folk. In the occult field these people have been used to 'access the group-mind' simply because an alien mind could never do so - they are the tools of these Dark Forces and necessary tools that are used to manipulate and control the minds of the masses. We can see here why it is essential to use counter-techniques in our battle against these occult forces, but that any counter can also be used at the level of the Group-Soul.

We must now turn to the form of archetypes that were used by Dion Fortune and her group, and it is here significant that she uses those of 'King Arthur' and 'Merlin the Magician' - the 'Celtic' archetypes associated with the Red Dragon. Now we can begin to see why these 'archetypes' (symbols actually, since it is this type of symbolism that is used to invoke certain forces, in this case forces linked to the Red Dragon of Juda-Rome. Merlin is seen as the 'law giver to the kingdom of Britain'. 'We know, therefore, that whatever form our work will subsequently take, it will be expressed in terms of Arthurian symbolism and rooted in the Arthurian Tradition.' (Letter 22 - March 17th 1940). We are also told that the '...Arthurian Tradition is linked up with the Celtic Church, the primitive pre-Roman Christianity in these islands, brought hither direct from the Holy Land by Joseph of Arimathea...'

In Letter 30 (June 9th 1940) we are told that the meditation 'cavern' is '...beneath the Holy Mountain of the Illuminati' which tells us something important since the Illuminati have always been associated with the Dark Forces that today control this planet. What we need to consider here is that the symbolism used by these occult lodges has been usurped and distorted, hence why their symbolism is a parody of the true symbolism of the original Arya.

This leads me to the next point which is that the symbolism of the 'Hanged God' - Odin, Dionysus or whatever - was distorted into that of the Jewish figure of 'Jesus Christ', the distortion being in the change from the true god-form to that of a dejected, debased, weak and feeble figure hanging on a Cross to atone for some 'Original Sin' made by our Folk. This was merely a ruse to distort the Folk-Soul of the Aryan Race. This being the case it is easy to understand how the Once and Future King (the avatar-archetype of the Hyperborean Mythos)was turned into the Christian figure of 'King Arthur', and how the wise-wizard archetype (Woden) was distorted into the pseudo-Christian 'Merlin'. It is these distorted archetypes that were used in the workings of this Fraternity of the Inner Light.

'If we as a nation make ourselves a channel of cosmic law through realisation of the spiritual nature of the struggle we are waging, we become the channel for the manifestation of the power of God...' (Letter 34 - 7th July 1940). Just as we too, through the realisation of the spiritual nature of the struggle we are waging become a channel for the manifestation of the power of the Gods.

'There is no room for Nazism and democratic civilisation on the same globe, and one or the other will have to get off it....' (Letter 34 - July 7th 1940). We have seen what 'democratic civilisation' can do with the 'Brit-Am' alliance under the new 'American Empire' which has caused and created wars ever since World War II, and indeed caused that war and the previous world war too. This is rather more than a war between 'Nazism' and 'democratic civilisation' since it is a war between the evolutionary forces that are aiding man's evolution to the 'Superman', and the forces that are holding back that evolution through the creation of the 'Ultimate Man' (Nietzsche). The former seeks to strengthen the individual ego to create the Ultimate I,  whilst the latter seeks to merge the 'ego' into the 'All' and thus destroy the 'ego' altogether.

'There is only one thing, and one thing only that can disperse this dark cloud of ancestral evil and set the souls of Germans free, and that is the power of Christ, and we must bring this power to bear.' (Letter 65 - March 16th 1941). Here, once again we see that this 'occult lodge' is working through the Judaeo-Christian tradition and against the power of the old and true Germanic Gods - indeed portraying these ancient gods of our Folk as 'ancestral evil'. The 'Great Liar' at work again! Gareth Knight comments - 'Seventy years on, we might pause to reflect whether these remarks about Germany could equally be said about most nations of the world...' which goes so way to admit what was done was not quite in the interests of the world - though this would never be openly admitted.

'Let us remind ourselves once more of the way in which our work is done. The innumerable individuals who make up a nation share a common subconsciousness below the personal subconsciousness of each one; this is called the racial or collective subconsciousness, and it plays a very important part in both individual and national life. Here abide the archetypal ideas that are common to each one of us and that we never have to learn. These give rise to myth and symbol, dream, poetry and art....

We work by inoculating the collective subconsciousness of the race with certain archetypal ideas which have been communicated to us psychically in the course of our group meditation.'    (Letter 70 (April 27th 1941).

Once again I would point out that these 'archetypes' can be distorted from their true form through the manipulation of symbols working through the Group-Mind. This is what happened in the case of 'Jesus', 'King Arthur' and 'Merlin' - all distorted for the purpose of the furtherance of the Judaeo-Christian religion imposed upon Europe and later on other peoples. Our work is not to 'manipulate' these archetypes, but to channel the Original Archetypes into manifestation within the Soul of our Folk. This is where we can work on the Group-Soul which works at a deeper level than the Group-Mind. Put a different way we work through the Blood-Memory of the Folk.

'We have been engaged in creating a myth which by nature is in harmony with our national tradition. This is readily accepted by the group mind of the race and spreads and multiplies within it like yeast...' (Letter 70 - April 27th 1941). This 'creation of a myth' could be the key to the problem that we face today, since this 'myth' that has been created is certainly a 'Celtic-Christian' myth based upon the figures of 'King Arthur' and 'Merlin' which is based upon the wrong assumption that the English are 'Celtic' and not of Germanic Stock. It seems very clear to me that this falsehood has come about partly (if not mainly) through certain dark occult lodges that were working for this aim, and whose ideas have taken fruit in the English society of today. This is why we see films based around King Arthur where the Red Dragon always defeats the White Dragon - the latter symbolising the Germanic Folk.

A comment here - that this 'myth' can be 'created' through a knowledge of these 'archetypes' and how to distort the Ur-Types is the sole reason why so-called 'primitive' societies will never divulge their 'story' or 'myth' since they are well aware of the dangers of outsiders getting hold of that 'story' or 'myth', which could be used to destroy them. It is possible that the 'story' or 'myth' was stolen from the Arya, and this could be seen in the story of Hiram Abif, hence why Freemasonry is nothing more that a usurper of the True Mysteries, and has been used to distort them.

Again, I would like to look at the points made by Dion Fortune in regard to her work, points that are just as relevant to our own work - 'This is my personal task, and for its execution I need the support of a group of workers, not large in numbers, but highly trained, closely knit by mutual sympathy, and dedicated lives.' It is so important that we consider the need for a small group made up of dedicated individuals, and this is where we have to place the emphasis today, for there are not enough of these working together towards the same end - not enough people who are willing to sacrifice themselves wholly to this struggle - and not for their own ends. From her work we can see that she had a dedicated group of individuals who were willing to perform these meditations on a daily and weekly basis throughout the war period - even through the bombing periods! Now that is dedication!

I think the real point of this is that the individuals within the group were willing to place themselves under her guidance, recognising her as a teacher of knowledge (whether right or wrong), and were not working for their own ends and purposes - which would not only have dissipated these forces but would have created chaos within the group. This is something that we as Wodenists should consider if we are to really achieve our aims.

'When the Germans open up the primordial levels of their racial mind they release the elemental energies of the old gods - the bloodstained mindless images of the heroes of Norse Myth.' Here we see that Dion Fortune recognises that the Old Gods were rising anew within the German Folk-Soul, and she then goes on to say - 'The Kelts of these islands were amongst the earliest to be Christianised, as the Germans were among the latest' which completely ignores the fact that the Anglo-Saxons were a Germanic Folk who came here, and indeed were here well before history would have us believe they 'invaded' these islands. 'Let us awake from their long sleep the primordial images of our race, King Arthur and his knights, with the wisdom of Merlin to guide them.' She speaks of the 'soul of England' but this should be applied to 'Britain' and perhaps in her case she is right - since she is of Welsh descent!

The work of this Fraternity of the Inner Light seems to be based upon the work of MacGregor Mathers who formed the Golden Dawn, and not upon any real and true study of our own myths and legends, and our own Northern Tradition. The work of Mathers was based upon Jewish Cabala or the 'Western Mystery Tradition' and is thus suspect in its origins and in its workings.

'They must bring in the New Age for all men, not for their own people only, because the New Age is an age of co-ordination of the whole earth...' (Letter 115 - May 10th 1942). Now we begin to see the true forces acting behind this occult lodge. 'First and foremost, we must regard the planet of earth as a unit, in which no segregation is possible, owing to the development of communications, especially air-borne and ether-borne communications, and the interdependence of commerce all the world over...Our planet of earth, and the human society thereon, must be organised as a whole...' Here we have the fully planned aim of the 'New World Order' being imposed upon the whole earth. Nations would no longer consider themselves as individual units but 'simply as sub-sections of human society'. Dion Fortune goes on to outline the planned ordering of the world after the war, and everything she tells us has come about in the world - proof that this has been a planned reordering by the Dark Forces.

'The democracies belong to the New Age; the Axis Powers represent the recrudescent of ebbing forces whose day is past; therefore their time in any case is short. For the tides of life are against them.' (Monthly Letter One - November 1942). Here we beg to differ, since this represents the darkest time of the Cosmic Cycle, when the Dark Forces are at their strongest (the Twelve Nights of Yule), but the Light Forces are just beginning to emerge once more since after the Yule-Tide of the Cycle the Light begins to ascend. This is yet another of the distortions put forth by the Great Liar. The evolutionary forces may have been 'defeated' at a physical level, but the 'seeds' of the New Order were sown at this time, and the 'Vedas' were saved from the Great Flood - the true Ancient Mysteries were revived at this time.

I think that this is enough to show how these forces (Red Dragon) were pitted against the Germanic Forces (White Dragon) and that the latter are the forces driving for an upward evolutionary jump in the Race of Man. The former work towards the destruction of the individual 'ego' and its merging into the 'All' - an area controlled by the Demiurge. Only through a conscious working towards the strengthening of the 'ego' into the Absolute 'I' can this evolutionary jump be made, and the new Golden Age brought into manifestation.

This Cosmic War still goes on, and although we can now see how the problems we face with the English Folk stem from the work of certain Dark Occult Lodges consciously attempting (and succeeding as we can see today) to manipulate the Group-Mind of the English, through distorting its Germanic Soul with alien 'Celtic-Christian' archetypes - a process that is still going on today. Only through these methods could the English be stopped from joining with their Germanic Brothers in Germany in a Holy War against the Jotun. It was the 'White Traitors' whose work undermined that of the Light Forces and this was done through such occult lodges as the Fraternity of the Inner Light.

We have seen how the Saxons led the English Folk in a Holy War against the Jotun, hence the reasons for the so-called 'invasions' of these islands. We have seen how the Vikings cane here to wage a Holy War against the ever-growing power of the Jotun, and that is why they too invaded and tried to destroy the growing power of the Judaeo-Christian Church. Valhalla has been filled with the souls of those who have waged this struggle, and these Einheriar await their call to return to Earth to join the Final Conflict against these Evil Forces of Darkness and Chaos.


This post may at first read seem rather disordered, but the aim of it has been to make clear a few distinct points -

1. The forces working against the Germanic Gods have used occult methods that can also be useful to our work. These occult methods need to be studied carefully so that we can use what is useful and discard what is not; at the same time the methods need to be tailored to suit our own purpose.

2. There is here proof of the validity of the struggle between the Red Dragon (Judaeo-Christianity) and the White Dragon (Germania). The methods used by Dion Fortune, utilising the Christian 'archetypes' of 'King Arthur' and 'Merlin', show clearly that these people used the forces of the 'Red Dragon'.

3. Symbolism is neutral, but we need to consider that archetypes and symbols can be - and have been - distorted for alien purposes. This goes for such archetypes as 'Jesus Christ', 'King Arthur' and 'Merlin'. All of these, in their original Ur-Form, are valid archetypes, and this distortion works at the level of the Group Mind, and thus act like a 'veneer' - which can be scratched off!

4. The 'New World Order' is here seen as a deliberate plan of action working at a physical, mental and psychic level in order for it to become manifest on Earth. The 'Fraternity of the Inner Light' and other such dark lodges of the occult were working towards this aim, which is clearly set out in the letters of Dion Fortune. These forces were working against the emergence of the Germanic Gods in the German psyche. The content of some of the letters show that this was planned since the 'prophesies' have come true.

5. If we within the Woden Folk-Religion are to achieve anything we need to have clear aims (which we have) and to further these aims within the Woden Brotherhood. This needs to be a small, fully dedicated and fanatical group with the will to achieve these aims.


We also need to consider the times that we are considering here were at the 'Yuletide' of the Great Year Cycle (1933-1945) - the twelve years being symbolic of the Twelve Nights of Yule. This period is that of the longest darkness (like the white dot in the near-whole black of the section of the Chinese yin-yang symbol), but at this point the Forces are Light are awakening and 'reborn' - just as the Sun is 'reborn' at the Yuletide. This is also a period of devastating destruction, as shown by two world wars in Europe. We also need to consider that the next part of the cycle (from Midwinter to the Summer Evennight) has the Light growing in strength, but at the same time is the harshest part known as the 'winter' period, and thus is even more destructive and catastrophic. This is proven by the continuous wars, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, forest fires etc. We are now living through this period of time - a time in which time itself is truncated.

The Aryan Saxon

The German rune-magician and cult-magus, Guido von List, had a mystical experience when blinded after a cataract operation on his eyes, during which he was given the 18-Rune Armanen System which he developed, and which became the basis of the works of various other rune-magicians working in Germany between the wars. This system was a unique system developed around his unique runic system and also around a three-fold system that included the tripartite system used by all Indo-European peoples. It is this that we need to look at here.

Cornelius Tacitus (who we shall see more of later) mentioned in Germania that there were three distinct sections of the Germanic Folk – the Ingaevones, the Herminones, and the Istaevons – who were all descended from Mannus, the son of the earth-born god, Tuisto. This forms the basis of the three-fold system of List’s Armanen. He uses the names Ingaevons, Irminons, and Istaevons, obviously replacing the name ‘Hermin’ with ‘Irmin’. He also uses the terms Ingvo, Irmin, and Istvo for short, which we shall use below.

 

Ingvo -

1)   The perpetuator, maintainer.

2)   The young wanderer.

3)   The one who judges/decides in court.

 

Istvo –

1)   The generator, who generates in death, the returning one, the one to be reborn.

2)   The continually existing one.

3)   The one who goes into darkness & submersion.

 

The endings of these three levels – ‘-ons’ – means –

1)   The ancestors, primal origin,

2)   To wander,

3)   To change, transformation, rotation.

 

The tribal name Ingaevons thus means –

1)   The ones who come forth out of the ancestral origin.

2)   The wandering young descendants, wanderers, Wandals (Vandals).

3)   The alteration through the judgement of Fate.

 

The tribal name Irminones means –

1)   The ones who came forth out of the ancestral origins of the Solar Man,

2)   The wandering governors, Solar Judges, the Semanes,

3)   Conclusion of opinion by a turn of Fate.

 

The tribal name Istaevons means –

1)   The ones reborn out of the realm of the ancestors,

2)   The ones constantly wandering,

3)   The ones who pass away through a consequence of Fate.

 

The importance of this three-fold division of caste within the Germanic Folk is vitally important to this argument. This will come to light when I outline the next section about the English Folk. It is important to understand who the English (Angles) were and their role in Germania.

Cornelius Tacitus, the Roman historian, tells us that the ‘Reudigni, Aviones, Anglii, Varini, Eudoses, Suarines and Nuitones’ were safe behind ramparts of rivers and woods, and they ‘share a common worship of Mother Earth’. In this respect the ‘goddess’ rides in a chariot among her people, and an inviolate grove on an island is where her worship takes place. We should note that the Anglii (Angles) are amongst these tribes.

We also have the piece from the Old English Charm for Bewitched Land which is not quite as this title says, since it is a charm to hallow the land and generate good harvest. Our interest lies here in that it is an English Charm and that within it are the words ‘Erce, Erce, Erce, Mother of Earth’ which seems to be an invocation of the Mother Earth, or the Mother of Earth.

When we consider that the English are the Ingaevons we can see that Guido von List was right in that they were the farmer-provider/perpetuator of the Folk caste. This is further underlined when we consider that Ing/Ingwe is the Ingvi-Frey of the Norsemen and he is the Solar-Phallic God who rules over human fertility and virility as well as that of the earth. He is the God of the Ingaevons, and Nerthus is the goddess mentioned by Tacitus as worshipped by the Anglii. Nerthus is the female version of Njord who is the father of Frey and Freya. Ing or Ingwe is the English version of Frey (‘Lord’). This is the important point here – the English are of the Ingvaeons, the caste of the farmer-provider.

It is a fact that the farmer-provider/perpetuator of the race caste was the backbone of the Teutonic Folk because this caste was where the others all stemmed from. This is the basis for the Blood and Soil mythos which is so important to the Germanic Peoples. The landsman and his ilk were the backbone of the Folk, and this is why our enemies seek to break us from the mystical link between the Folk and the Land.

We turn now to the Irminones who are obviously descendants of Irmin who we now know to be the God of the Arya. We can see how these were the Solar Man who were the priest-kings – the aethlinga caste. These were the Ir-min or Ar-Man – the Solar Man/Sun-Man. They were the Sa-mans (as opposed to the Sha-man who was the ‘shadow-man’), the Priests of Woden-Wotan. They were the intellectual caste of spiritual leaders and priest-magicians – the ‘teaching caste’. Guido von List maintained that the Armanen had existed throughout the Dark Ages as a secret brotherhood and secret priesthood over the Germanic Folk.

It is thus significant, and highly important, to note that the Saxons were the ones who upheld the Irminsul and the worship of Irmin or Seaxnot who was the Sword-God. Thus, the Saxons were the AEthlinga-Caste of the English Folk, they were the ruling elite of the English, and even though at a later time the two became mixed up, and no doubt interbred between the castes, but the original role of the Saxons was that of the Priest-King and the Aethlinga-Caste.

The Saxons were thus the worshippers of the Sky-Gods (AEsir-Gods) who became the overlords of the worshippers of the Earth-Gods (Goddess) after they came back from the east as the horsemen who worshipped the Sword-God (Saxnot). The Saxons were thus the Sakae-Sani who were the Aryan Scythians and as the Arya (Ar-Man) they were the ruling caste and the Priesthood of Woden.

The fusion of the Angles and the Saxons seems to mimic the First War in the World between the Wanir and the AEsir, and their fusion under the title of the AEsir-Gods. This would also explain the Beaker Folk who were said to have come to these islands around 2700 BCE. This was a new type of Warrior Society that overcame the more agricultural society that existed then.

The Holy Mountain of the Arya is Mount Elbruz in the Caucasus Mountains, and we can perhaps guess that the invading Arya from the east had been that section of the race that had been singled out at the Sun-Oracle in order to develop the ego in mankind as the next stage of human evolution. These Aryan Folk were singled out as the new ruling elite of the Folk – the leaders, priests, poets and intelligentsia. We are in fact told that the English did not often use horses in battle, and yet in the burial mound at Sutton Hoo we find the remains of a horse buried with the other human burials. This suggests (to me) that the Wulfingas (Wuffingas) were the Aryan elite over the Angles in East Anglia, borne out by their being the Aethlinga Caste as history tells us. The finds of a magical-wand bearing the wolf’s head suggests that they were priest-king-magicians, as does the Sutton Hoo Mask which suggests the Cult of Woden.

If we look at the English legend of Sheaf then we find this theory backed up, since Sheaf arrived on the island of Scandi with a Sheaf of Corn which is liked to agriculture. In the Beowulf Saga we find him as Scyld Scefing (‘Shield, Son of Sheaf’) which tells us far more than it would seem at first glance, for Shield is the protective garb of the warrior, and it is the Warrior-Caste (Aethlinga) that comes out of the Ingaevons (represented by Sheaf) – exactly how Guido von List has it in Secret of the Runes. It is the Scyldings who represent the new ruling Elite of Woden, as has been established by some scholars.

These people were represented by the Eorlingas or Rohirrim of ‘Lord of the Rings’ who were the horse-riders of the ‘Mark’ or ‘Markmen’. I believe the term Rohirrim comes from a source in India and thus perhaps linked to the Arya of India (known as Aryania originally). These people were portrayed as they were in the film from the book, as tall, fair and horsemen of excellence.

The invasions of these islands may also be explained by these being a new incursion of the Arya rather than a wholesale invasion of the English. Hengest is said to be a Jute, but other sources have him as a Saxon, and he was the Divine Leader of the tribes who came here to war against the Jotun and who came to unite the English as a Folk-Nation. If we are to believe Ryan West in his book Hengest & Horsa – The Rise of the Saxons then the symbol of the English was the White Dragon and the symbol of the Saxons was the Red Fylfot on White background. If my memory serves me right the book also says that the Saxons and English recognised themselves as the same kindred when the Saxons invaded and set up for battle. It would seem clear from this that the Red Fylfot on White Background is the symbol of the Arya Elite as is the Irminsul which is the Pillar of the Sky-Gods.

The above theory gives rise to the change in role of Woden’s Folk and the incorporation of the Irmin-Cult into the Woden Folk-Religion. We need to make clear the difference between Angle and Saxon, and that the Saxon Nation is the Elect of Woden who are the Armanen Initiates spoken of by Guido von List – the Priesthood of Woden. We have to make it clear that this Irmin-Cult is a Wodenic Cult and that we do not follow the ideas of a clash between the Irminists and Wotanists, as is often portrayed of Karl Maria Wiligut by writers of the subject – Wiligut used the Armanen Runes and also the name Wotan within his work.

If we see Irmin as originally the figure of Tiw – the Sky-Father – then when Tiw (Tir-Rune) lost his right-hand (becoming the Lagu-Rune) he becomes Woden as the God of the Left-Hand Path. In Tantra the Path of the Warrior is the Left-Hand Path and this is why Woden became the God of the Left-Hand Path. In the Warg-Age (Dark Age) the only true way for the warrior is that of the Left hand Path.

The symbols of the Irmin-Cult are the Sword (Seax) and the Irminsul as well as the Fylfot-Swastika. These are the symbols of the Inner Cult of the Woden Folk-Religion. The Ar-man (‘Sun-Man’) was the heir to the ancient Solar Race spoken of in the Ramayana and other Aryan Holy Texts. This is the Inner Order of the Woden Folk-Religion and will have the work of teaching, education and instruction – as its work progresses.

The Wid-Ar Current (Current-55)

The new archetype or god-force for this current world-age (Age of Ing) which was 'conceived' on August 11th 1999 and 'born' nine months later in May 2000 is Wid-Ar the Avenging Son. He is The Hooded Man and also HelgiH - Spirit 88 - and the Son of the Widow - the Divine Fool. In the above drawing we see Wid-Ar the Avenger and his symbolism -

 - The White Horse which is the Steed of Woden and the symbolic steed of the Last Avatar (Kalki Avatar).

 - The Flaming Sword which is the 'Sword of Hengest' named Battle-Flame which is the 'Hun-Bequest' - the Sword of AEtla whose power was thrown against the Jotun, and whose wyrd passed to Hengest of the Saxon Nation, whose wyrd was once more to counter the growing menace of the Jotun-Religion (Religion of Evil)here in England. The flames represent the Inner Fire and the Serpent-Fire as well as the Flame of Freedom.

- On his shield is the White Winged Coiled Serpent (White Dragon) which is symbolic of the English Folk. Note the 3 1/2 coils which represent the Fire-Serpent and the Kan-Force (kundalini).

- In the background is the Sacred Mountain (Mount Meru) which is symbolic of the Sacred Centre which is the origins of the Last Avatar and is associated with Waendal who is the Cosmic Turner and who turns the World Mill around through the Precession of the Equinoxes.

- To the right of his head is a streaming comet which is the Hale Bopp Comet of the spring 1997 which was sent by Wyrd in order to reveal the Helgi Mysteries and to prepare the way for the creation of Woden's Folk the following year (1998).

The recognition of Wid-Ar as the Coming Avatar is what separates Woden's Folk from the other Wodenist groups, since the Woden Folk-Religion is the only Religious Order that has taken up this concept - what we are now calling the Wid-Ar Current. This is important since WF was set up to prepare for the Last Avatar and that is exactly what we have done. The latest reorganisation of WF and the WFR serves to further this cause and whatever springs up from this will further the struggle of Wodenism even though it may not seem that way.

Both Odinism, Asatru and Wotanism, as well as the Wodenist groups outside the WFR, are doing their part in this great struggle by reviving the ancient religion of Northern Europe. But the WFR has a particular Divine Mission to undertake within this struggle, and that is to prepare the way for the Man to Come here in England. The Wid-Ar Current is the key to our success in the end.

What I have written here was first stimulated by some stuff that Wulf Veldasson sent me on the ideas of Dumezil. The rest I put together myself from my own research and intuitive ideas.

• Wid-Ar is aligned with vertical space due to his hands being on the lower jaws of the Wolf, and horizontal space due to his being the 'wide-strider'. This seems to give a reason why his mother is named Grid since the 'Grid-System' is made up of vertical and horizontal lines as on all maps. Grid would thus rule over the Earth Grid which is in fact known by some dowsers to be a grid system made up of energy-lines. This may well be why the 'chess-board' pattern occurs on the floors of Masonic Lodges - for these people would have tried to harness this energy (at a physical level) as a means of control of the masses.
• (It is interesting to note the above statement about the Earth-Grid linked to the 'chess-board' pattern, since every single rune is made up of either an upright stave or a 45% stave in any direction, and we should remember that the chess-pieces move either up or down, crossways, or at an angle of 45% [diagonally].)
• Wid-Ar is the god who keeps the Fenris Wolf (Warg of Chaos) from destroying the Cosmos. This fits in with something mentioned by Rudolf John Gorsleben - after 26,000 years and the Twilight of the Gods Wid-Ar returns as the 'World Saviour'. He also mentions two German words that could stem from the same root as the god-name - wieder-ersccheint ('appears again') and wiederkehrt ('returns'). We have also the following modern words in German that show similar meanings -

wieder - 'to be back again'/'to come back'/'to return'.

wiederbekommen - 'to get back'.

wiederholen - 'to repeat'.

wiederholung - 'repetition'.

widerspruch - 'to go against'.

The first four suggest He Who Returns whilst the last one suggest 'resistance', and we find the term widder (German) and widre (English) having the meaning of 'resistance'. We can see here that Wid-Ar is the God of Resistance and his symbol today is the Rune of Resistance - the Wolf-Hook Rune. It is also interesting to note a term used in modern Wicca - widdershins - which means to go anti-clockwise and thus 'against' the norm. This can suggest to us that the god Wid-Ar also links to the idea of the Man Against Time (Savitri Devi) and also the Widdershins Swastika (anti-clockwise Fylfot).

• The Twilight of the Gods happens at the end of a Cycle of Ages (Great Year = 26,000 years) and World War II fits this timing perfectly since the Germanic Gods were defeated by the Dark Forces (the 'Allies' controlled by the Lords of Chaos, i.e. the Fenris Wolf). The twelve years of National Socialism represent 6 years of peace - 6 years of war and thus the Twelve Nights of Yule, hence this period 1933-1945 was the Yuletide of the Great Year. It should be remembered that after Yuletide comes the darkest and most destructive period of the cycle (year of Great Year), but it is the time when the Forces of Light and Order begin to wax again and grow stronger until the Spring or New Dawn at the Summer Finding. (Remember, that it would seem that Time is truncated during the period after the Twilight of the Gods.
• Wid-Ar is also associated with Aries the Ram (Arya) and thus with Hama/Heimdall whose symbol is the Ram. The German widder also means 'ram' which confirms this statement. The time of Aries the Ram is in March when the Summer Evennight occurs, when the Power of Light and the Power of Darkness are in balance. This is the key to the understanding of the power behind The Hooded Man which is held within the blade of the sword named Albion - the White Island (England).
• The idea of The Man to Come is that of the late Don Miguel Serrano of Chile, and he equates this with the idea of the Caleuch which is the 'Ghost Ship' of the Southern Hemisphere. The name Caleuch, he tells us, stems from Caleu ('to return') and Che ('Man') - hence The Man who Returns. We have mentioned before the strange link between the two hill-figures of the Long Man of Wilmington (England) and the Atacama Giant (Chile).
• The Gigante de Atacama can be found in Chile on the Peruvian border, and it is some 390 feet tall and larger than the Long Man of Wilmington. The arms of both giants are the same, though the former is far more stylized than the latter. It has been suggested that this is the White God called Viracocha who is depicted in a 'Long Man' pose (Ear/Cweorth-Rune) holding twin serpents rather than staves. Viracocha appears from the sea ('great deep') after a catastrophic flood.
• The link to the Long Man of Wilmington is important since this is the Cweorth-Rune which represents the Fire-Twirl and thus the turning of the Cosmos by Waendal (Mundalfore). In certain sections of Hindu Lore we find that the 'Son' (here known as Wid-Ar) is born of the Fire-Twirl (Swastika), as we can see from the following mythical piece -

Agni (The Fire) is the Son incarnate of the 'Heavenly Father' (All-Father), conceived and born of the Virgin Maya, who had the carpenter Twasti as his earthly father. In the Cave of the One of Both Sticks who has the name 'The Mother', lives the Goddess Maya, the embodiment of Creative Powers, who gives birth to the Son under the influence of Vayu ('Spirit' i.e. Woden), the breeze of the wind without which the Fire cannot be lit. The first spark that came from the Cave (cavity) of the sacrum of Maya, by turning the Fire-Twirl (Cweorth) Pramantha (Swastika) represents the birth of the Agni-Fire (Inga-Fire *). This 'spark' is called The Child of Light.

* INGA = AGNI spelt backwards.

This is the true myth of the Aryan Krist who is directly related to Ingwe as we have seen in the name 'Agni' itself. The turning of the Pramantha was actually related to the Divine Twins (Aswins) which is a Swastika-shaped 'wheel' that turns upon a central axis ('Womb of the Mother' and from which (the centre) comes the Divine Spark which is seen to be the 'Son' or Divine Child.

• The 'cave' has to be related to the cave in the desert where Grid dwelt, since the cave is symbolic of the 'Womb of the Mother' and the desert of the heat and fire. Woden is the 'wind' (spirit) that passes across the heat and fans it into flames, thus giving 'birth' to the 'Son'. (Incidentally, in a dream of 1989 in which The Mysteries of The Hooded Man were given to me, Woden (with a Cobra-Serpent) was just outside a desert-cave or sandy cave. In this appeared The Hooded Man in triple-form [as in both the Robin of Sherwood Series - Ailric/Robin/Robert - and the HelgiH Mysteries - Helgi Hjorvadsson/Helgi Hundingsbane/Helgi Haddinga].)

We can see how Wid-Ar is no minor god, nor a god of the future, but is the resurrection of Woden as the Avenging God who appears after Woden is devoured by the Fenris Wolf (World War II when Wotan was 'devoured' by the Forces of Chaos) and is resurrected in the spring-time (as The Fool) as Wid-Ar the Avenger.

"He returns as an Avatar, the incarnation of a god, Wotan, Vishnu, occupying, momentarily and for short periods, various bodies of Viras at the same time, even when only one among them is his favourite, his energy-centre. Someone who was carefully prepared to receive him. Thus the Avatar is a Tulka, who is more than one, being various and being many, each one his 'Furious Horde', his 'Ultimate Battalian'."

                                                                                      Miguel Serrano

Hail Wid-Ar! Hail to the Avenging God! For the 'Man to Come' and the 'Resurrection of The Fool'.

                                                                   



The Hooded Man Prophecy

'In the days of the Lion, spawned of the Evil Brood, The Hooded Man shall come to the forest. There he will meet with Herne the Hunter, Lord of the Trees, to be his Son and do his bidding. The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness shall be strong within him. And the guilty shall tremble!'

      The Hooded Man Prophecy - October 31st 1993 (South Saxon Mark).

Woden's Folk is invariably criticised and attacked by those whose aim is to discredit anyone who opposes the Global Order. These attacks are always aimed at certain key points, the aim being to ridicule and thus discredit our work and thus allow the Global Order to succeed in its own aims. One of the main targets has been The Hooded Man Prophecy since this is an easy one to get at since it has no 'historical' authenticity - so we are led to believe. So I am (once again) going to put things straight and inform the more enlightened of the real meaning of this prophecy.

Firstly, yes this does come from the TV series Robin of Sherwood and was no doubt made up for the series. But that does not invalidate this as a prophecy, but we can only recognise it as such through the knowledge of what its hidden meaning is. The altered prophecy that was given to me in a dream is just that - an altered form of the original Robin of Sherwood prophecy. It is in the altered form that we need to be interested in and which gives the key to it being a valid prophecy for the new world age.

The one interesting thing that can be seen from all of the criticisms made is that they never even mention the content of the prophecy, merely making the criticism about it being from the TV series. Yet, it is precisely this - the content - that validates this prophecy as being important to our era. Since it is clear that none of the people who make criticism even bother with the content we can be assured that their criticism stems from their intention of smearing Woden's Folk rather than producing any valid argument against us.

The trigger for this post was a new criticism aimed at this prophecy on a forum called ecouldron (was just cauldron). This is a forum for 'pagans' I would think, and the poster did so asking about the validity of the prophecy in order to 'expose' WF as a 'racist organisation'. Little more need be said then since this was yet another 'smear-campaign' against WF; the replies were the usual agreement and the prophecy was 'written off' once more. As mentioned above, not one single reply to the post mentioned the content of the prophecy, merely writing it off because it came from the TV series. To be fair to them I would doubt that these people could understand the content and what is being said anyway, so maybe this is why they never go into the actual prophecy itself.

To understand The Hooded Man Prophecy it is necessary to understand the cyclic nature of time, and that at certain periods of time a god-force or avatar appears upon Earth in order to change the order of things. This is usually (in so many different traditions called The Beginning and the End or The First and the Last which simply refers to what I will call the Divine Twins, one who appears at the end of a world-age (to close the cycle) and the other who appears at the start of a new world-age (to open the next cycle). This is shown in various different traditions such as that of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu (Hinduism), the incarnation of Sheaf as the Divine Ancestor of the English, the incarnation of Rig-Hama in order to revive the ancient Caste System, and the incarnation of Helgi Hundingsbane at the start of the Age of Iron (Warg-Age). This also applies to the White Krist who is actually said to be The First and the Last, The Beginning and the End, and whose prophecies fit that of The Hooded Man in our own era.

In August 1999 and the solar eclipse we find the 'conception' of the new world age - the Age of Ing - and with it the return of the god-force that the Woden Folk-Religion knows as Wid-Ar the Avenger. This is the one we call 'He Who Returns' - age after age - in order to change the order of things. This is the most important god-force of our era, and he is the incarnation of Woden as the 'Son' - Wid-Ar. This god is the Woodland Warrior which links him directly to The Hooded Man who is the 'Son' of Herne the Hunter (i.e. Woden as the One-Eyed Hunter-God).

In order to understand that The Hooded Man Prophecy is valid you need to understand the above ideas clearly, because without a knowledge of what an avatar is this will never be understood. Only through recognising that a god can actually incarnate in the flesh will we be able to understand what I am trying to say - figures such as Alexandra the Great, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Adolf Hitler  can only be understood for what they were through a knowledge of the meaning of an avatar. This force can be creative or it can be destructive but it is there to herald a change in the order of things, a change that requires brute force in the Warg Age or Age of Iron, since this is an era of force and fire.

The Hooded Man Prophecy, in its altered form, has 58 words, and the main altered section has 58 letters, which tells us that the Number 58 is important. Indeed, using English Gematria (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 etc.) the name R-O-B-I-N adds to 58! This tells us that some form of Higher Intelligence transmitted this through the dream, using a method that proves the validity of the altered version for the new world-age. The prophecy revolves around The Hooded Man bearing within himself the Power of Light and the Power of Darkness (in balance). If we study the name 'Robin Hood' we can find the real meaning of this phrase -

Robin = Robert = 'Roth-Beorht' = 'Fame-Bright' (Light)

Hood = Darkness (a 'kenning')

Within the name 'Robin Hood' there is the hidden meaning of 'Light and Darkness' which thus aids in the understanding of this prophecy and its validity for the English Folk in our era. Alternatively, the phrase Robin 'i the Hood is used, which would mean Light i' the Darkness - i.e. the Forces of Light acting within the Age of Darkness (Warg-Age). These powers - Light & Darkness - are also (in the TV series) seen to be held within the blade of the sword Albion - this being and old name for England. Again, we can see that this refers to the English Destiny. This is - I may add - one of the Seven Swords forged by Wayland the Smith - an English God.

In The Hooded Man Prophecy quoted above the changes are underlined, and to get the required 58 Words the word 'with' has been added, and the phrase 'The Powers of Light and Darkness shall be strong within him' have been changed to 'The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness shall be strong within him'. Why on earth would anyone dream of a prophecy that has been changed deliberately in order to validate that it is a prophecy that has a meaning for our era? Indeed, such was the power of this prophecy that it was repeated twice in the dream in order that I should remember it as it should be. Not only that but the symbols of the Sword and the Crossbow were emphasised. In the symbol of the Crossbow it would be natural to think of William Tell, whose name stems from 'tol' which means 'fool' or 'simpleton' and refers to the Divine Fool. Indeed, in the TV series we find Robin Hood equated with The Fool of the tarot.

The Hooded Man is the same archetype as Parsifal of the Gral-Mythos who is the 'Pure Fool', he is also Hamlet who acts 'The Fool' and Kau Khusrau in Persian Mythology, as well as various other facets of the same archetype who is The Divine Fool. After the incarnation of The Fool at the end of a world-age (to close the cycle at the 'Yuletide') in the spring comes the Resurrection of The Fool (to open the new cycle and bring into being a 'New Order'). This is why The Fool of the tarot is numbered '0' because it comes at the beginning and the end and is thus not part of the time-cycle as such - it comes at the 'liminal' period of dissolution-to-recreation. (Some of those who criticise WF are actually of the Wiccan type who use the Tarot Cards, so you would think they would know what The Fool actually refers to.) In its most destructive sense it is The Joker (whose wanton destruction ends the cycle) and in its re-creative sense it is The Divine Fool who - like Parsifal - destroys the power of Klingsor (the money-power and the media) and the illusion that his Dark Magic has created. The name 'Parsifal' actually means 'Pure Fool'.

The Robin of Sherwood series may have been non-fiction but in a sense this was a kind of 'trigger' for the heralding of the coming Avatar whose appearance will be made here in England. There is no doubt that the writer and the director and everyone else concerned did not do this consciously, but if we do believe in what Carl Jung called synchronicity and which Friedrich Nietzsche called meaningful coincidence then at an unconscious level this arose at this particular time and place in order to herald the coming of a Folk-Hero to the English Folk. This is why the prophecy is timeless since it recurs in different cycles - it stands in eternity rather than in time. Such a prophecy appears at a certain time of the cycle form out of the Eternal - manifesting itself in order to create change.

The Robin of Sherwood series was if anything full of distortions with the usual 'Celtic' bias, with Herne the Hunter being seen as 'Celtic' when indeed his name is English. 'Herne' is a Germanic word meaning 'Horn', for he is 'The Horned One' who is Woden, as can be seen from various figures from Scandinavia, England and Germany. The Fenris Wolf is said to be one of the 'Wolves of Odin' when in fact it was the 'Brood of Loki'. It is quite possible that the figure of Herne was taken from 'The Horned God' of Wicca, and since Wicca is not the 'Old Religion' at all, but a modern concoction made up of different cultures, and with no 'ancient' links at all, then this typifies the approach made by those whose main aim is 'disinformation' whether deliberate or unconsciously. Even more strange that some form of truth should arise from these distortions, and that this would be used to further the struggle of the Forces of Light against the Forces of Darkness and Chaos.

The last point that I would like to make is that it would seem obvious to many people that the driving-force behind the idea of global control has always been the three religions that stem from the Middle-East - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Christianity and Islam are merely later offshoots of Judaism, and today we find Zionism as the main force behind the creation of a New World Order. When we are told that The Hooded Man will appear in the 'Days of the Lion' we would think of King Richard I ('Lion-Heart') who was said to be the king at the time of Robin Hood, but equally (in our era) this could be the 'Lion of Judah' (Zionism) or Osama bin Laden ('Lion') who (we are told) is responsible for the rise in Islamic Militancy. Here we have proof that prophecy is timeless and recurs again and again throughout the Cycles of Time - manifesting from Eternity into Time in order to create change.

Prophecy is what stands Woden's Folk apart from the other forms of Odinism and Wodenism, and is also the basis of the revival of Wotanism in the USA. This is what places Woden's Folk firmly in the Age of Ing which being a new world-age needs a new archetype, in this case that of Wid-Ar the Avenger ('The guilty shall tremble!'). The revival of the Woden Folk-Religion was expressly to prepare the way for The Hooded Man, creating a new form of the Ur-Religion of the Germanic Folk in order to fulfil the English Destiny. This refers to the Resurrection of The Fool as the archetype for this particular period of the Cycle of the Ages.

This is also why Woden's Folk is a religious movement and not an 'organisation' because it is our aim to gather the Elect of Woden together through those who hear the Call of the Blood. It is the Elect of Woden who will forge the new Germanic Folk-Religion that will prepare the way for The Hooded Man. Not only is WF a religious order but more importantly a warrior order since we are waging a Holy War against the Dark Joten (Forces of Darkness and Chaos). The warrior fights for ideas, ideology and ideals, for a New Order that will be imposed by the AEsir-Gods. We await the Coming of The Hooded Man to the forest............
