The Sigurd Lay in the Landscape of England.

     

The stumbling-block we face in regard to the use of ancient sites around England is that for some centuries now most of the stone circles, cromlechs, standing stones and sacred groves have been associated with 'Celtic' use, and with the 'Celtic Druids', even though the established history tells us that these 'Celts' came here long after these structures were built. Since - we are told - the Anglo-Saxons were late invaders, as were the later Vikings, then these people can lay no claim for the use of such sites. Common sense can disprove this idea if we study the area around the Uffington White Horse and the nearby Wayland's Smithy - areas long used by Odinism and Wodenism. 

It is my contention that this area of Oxfordshire (previously Wiltshire) is sacred to the English because it is linked to the Legend of Sigurd the Dragon-Slayer. To prove this we need to study the area and its landscape, which can be equated with this Germanic Myth. Let us look at some ideas -

• Dragon Hill is supposed to be the site where 'St George' slew the dragon; but 'St George is only a Xtian imposition on the true Dragon-Slayer - Sigurd the Wolsung. In Beowulf we find that it is the father of Sigurd - Sigmunde - who is the Dragon-Slayer. Dragon Hill stands right below the Uffington White Horse.
• Some have recognised the White Horse as not being quite like a horse, and more like a dragon, which certainly equates with the Dragon-Slayer image. The figure is certainly like a serpent with 'legs' (four legs of a dragon). 
• Between the White Horse and Dragon Hill is a natural 'ditch' which appears to be linked to the area where Sigurd lay and slew the Dragon as it passes over the ditch. 
• Near to the White Horse, and also on the ancient Ridgeway, is the long barrow called Wayland's Smithy, named after Wayland the Smith - an Anglo-Saxon god and famous sword-smith. 

The area around the Uffington White Horse has numerous Saxon names, and the name Uffington is that of the Wulfinga Tribe which we find in East Anglia as the Wuffingas. It is thus important to note that this Saxon Tribe was an offshoot of the Wolsungas which were the tribe that Sigurd and Sigemund were kings over. Here we have a direct link to the Wolsungas. 

In the Legend of Sigemund a hooded one-eyed figure appears in the House of the Wolsungs and plunges a sword into the Wolsunga Oak Tree - this everyone there recognised as Woden. Sigemund is the 'chosen one' and takes the sword from the Oak Tree. The Sacred Tree is here an Oak Tree, associated with Woden/Wotan in his role as Herne the Hunter-God. This is the Sacred Tree of the Wolsungas. Sigemund is slain in battle after his sword is shattered by the Spear of Woden. It is only through the intervention of Woden himself - sire of the Wolsunga Tribe - that the Hero-King can be slain. 

What we need to do here is to recognise that the Sword in the Oak-Tree is symbolised by the Nyd-Rune and that this is the 'Broken Sword' representing the 'Broken I' (i.e. the ego broken). When the Sword is pulled out the 'I' (ego) becomes whole once more - which is the task of the Divine Hero before he can fulfil his destiny. The Nyd-Rune becomes the Is-Rune once the Sword is removed by the Divine Hero. It is also necessary to recognise that the Wolsungas were a unique and special tribe, spawned by Woden in the woodlands, in order to fulfil a Divine Mission. 

The legend of the Wolsungas takes us back into the mists of time and the Legend of Siegfried (German version) is so similar to that of the legend of Dagobert, the Merovingian King, as to be no accident. There are certain things that link the Wolsungas to the Merovingian Franks -

• The Merovingians originated with the Sicambrian Franks, a name also rendered Sigambrian Franks, whose origins lay with a figure called Sigi. This name, of course, was that of the sire of the Wolsungas. 
• The legend of Merovee, who gave his name to the Merovingians, is so much like that of the legend of Romulus and Remus that this too can be no coincidence. Romulus, of course, founded Rome.
• The totem of the Merovingians was the Wolf, as was that of the Wolsungas and also Romulus and Remus. The sacred weapon of the Merovingian Kings was the Spear - the Spear of Woden. 
• The Merovingian Kings were said to have a birthmark between the shoulder-blades, which is where the leaf fell on the back of Siegfried, and broke his invulnerability, and thus resulted in his being slain - pierced with a Spear as was Dagobert, both by a stream in a forest whilst hunting. 

To continue......after the death of Sigemund his son, Sigurd, finds the Broken Sword and reforges it as the weapon to slay the dragon named Fafnir. He awakens the dragon, and (aided by the wise Woden) he lies hidden in a ditch, pierces the heart of the dragon, slays it and then drinks the Blood of the Dragon and eats the Heart of the Dragon. This is where the lay moves away from the mere 'Dragon-Slayer' as was the Xtian 'St George', for Sigurd eats the Heart of the Dragon (its consciousness and soul) and drinks the Blood of the Dragon (its spirit and blood-memory). Sigurd, through this act, becomes a Dragon-King which is an idea not unlike that of the Welsh Uther Pendragon ('Wondrous Head of the Dragon'), and thus the famous 'King Arthur' (who was also a 'chosen one' who took a sword out of a stone, rather than the tree). Before the distorters step in, this does not suggest a 'borrowing' from 'Celtic' sources, since these legends are ancient Germanic Legends and that of King Arthur certainly a Northern Myth connected to Arktur and to the Far North - of Hyperborean origins. 

The downfall of Sigurd the Wolsunga is due solely to his rejection of his 'first love' who is symbolic of his Walkyrie-Wife, and although this was in fact down to the wiles of Hagen and a drug, he nevertheless takes on a 'mortal' wife of the 'flesh' and thus forfeits his life in this existence. This is the secret of the Divine Hero and his marriage to the Walkyrie-Wife, the HE-SHE of Miguel Serrano. Sigurd the Wolsunga (Siegfried of the Germans) is the Chosen One but fails to achieve the renewal of Nature. This was the basis of the work of Richard Wagner in his Ring Cycle, which ends in the Gotterdamerung - Twilight of the Gods (World War II). 

The Dragon is also symbolic of the Sun, and we have here the idea that Sigurd slays the Solar Dragon (symbolic of the ancient Solar Race) takes in the essence of the most ancient Solar Race, and then takes up the destiny of that ancient Solar Race. It is not he - but Parsifal - who is the Chosen One who fulfils the destiny of the Race of Woden and achieves the renewal of Nature and the slaying of the Evil Klingsor who weaves a world-wide-web of illusion. 

Just down the road from Wayland's Smithy is a village called Woolstone which is most likely a corruption of Wolf-Stone, and further along the road (coincidentally) is the Blowing Stone which, it is said, when blown through will awaken King Alfred when the English are in their direst hour. Again, we have a very similar legend to that of King Arthur, and also the German Barbarossa. King Alfred was a good Christian King who persecuted the old Heathen Ways, so just maybe this legend was attached to him but originally referred to the Waking of the Wolf-Spirit when the English were in their direst hour and threatened with extinction. 

The Forge of Wayland (Wayland's Smithy) is where the Broken Sword is reforged, and has been used by Odinism and then Wodenism for some 25 years and more - and has been one of the sacred sites used often by Woden's Folk. It is where Sigurd reforged the Sword of the Wolsungas and then set off to slay the Dragon by Dragon Hill. There has been many strange happenings at the Wayland's Smithy which cannot be logically explained away.

One of these was connected to the runic formula ALU which is a Magical Force associated with the Fire-Serpent and its awakening. It could perhaps be seen as the Odroerir, which is the container and the contained. It was at the Smithy that a Saxon Warrior appeared to a local 'medium' and gave her the formula ALU - which was revealed by her to me when my family camped there some years ago. She knew nothing about the formula nor about the Old English Runes. In one photo taken at the entrance to the Smithy a ghostly wolf's head appeared. 

Some years ago a strange 'messenger' in the form of a young man ('Druid') turned up, together with his Black Dog, in fulfilment of a strange dream the night before, and mentioned that on a tour of Britain  he had come across a Black Dragon in Scotland, a Red Dragon in Wales, then a Green and then White Dragon in England (the latter we were using at the Folk-Moot). Black-White-Red-Green which are the four colours of Germania. Then he asked about three runes which he had 'seen' whilst walking in the local woods - he knew nothing (again) of the Old English Runes. These runes I recorded, and as I write this article their meaning has suddenly become clearer to me, and relate to the Awakening of the Fire-Serpent and its link to the Wayland's Smithy. 

It was prophesied that great Initiates of Fire would arise in our era to 'melt' the frozen Ice and thus aid the movement towards the evolution of man into the Superman. Using the Inga-Fire or the Serpent-Fire there would be an 'up-rush of fire' which would create movement from the stasis - a movement that would rock 'em in their 'ivory towers'. Wayland's Smithy and the Forge of Wayland have a secret yet to be revealed to us......

'When the Ice of the Darkest of Nights melts away under the Fire of the Black Sun within the Inner Earth, the poison apple shall fall away, and the Sleeping Goddess shall awaken, throw off her White Wolf Skin and arise renewed by the Golden Apples of the Immortals.  When the Moon is under her feet and she is clothed in the Golden Sun, she shall bring forth the Divine Child of Light who will lead the English Folk in their Divine Mission against the Servants of Darkness.'

The Evil Brood

Baphomet - The Symbol of Evil

This is a picture of the figure usually called Baphomet which was supposed to be a  symbol of worship used by the Knights Templar. There is some doubt in this as their symbol was said to be a severed head, representing John the Baptist. Whatever the case the above figure would be seen by Christians as 'The Devil'. What should interest us here is the symbolism shown in the figure, which I am going to try to analyse -

The Horned Goat - this stems from the Egyptian 'Goat of Menses' and is a typical symbol of the 'Devil' of the Christians. 

Between the horns of the goat is the Flame of the Illuminati, a symbol that seems to refer to the 'Enlightened Ones' - a title usurped by the Dark Forces.A symbolism similar to this was used on a logo for 'VE Day' but it is doubtful whether many actually noticed who was promoting this - the forces of the Occult. 

Between the eye-brows at the Third Eye is the pentagram or five-pointed star which is an occult symbol.

The figure is androgyne which suggests the fusion of male-female, part of the plan being brought into being in our times. We are seeing the breakdown of the sexes in our era and this was planned long ago - it would seem.

The figure sits on the globe of the world, suggesting world domination. The root of this concept stems from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. 

The Caduceus symbol suggests the use (or rather abuse) of the Kundalini Force; at the same time it is a male phallic symbol.

To the top left is a White Moon which I am going to suggest is symbolic of the White Man (the roots are the same), and to the bottom left is a Black Moon which suggests the Black Man. On the right arm (pointing upwards at the White Moon) is the term solve and on the left arm (pointing downwards towards the Black Moon) is the term Coagula. We are thus left with a sinister formula -

Solve (break down) the White Man and Coagula (run together) with the Black Man. This is a distorted alchemical formula for the destruction of both races. We can see now why there has been a mass flood of outlanders into the lands of Europe. This is a deliberate attempt to destroy our Folk. And here we have the occult formula given down to us from earlier times, before any of this plan was put into practice.

The figure is winged which would suggest these Dark Forces are trying to work at a spiritual level as well as the material level - though this cannot really work for them since they are the forces of Darkness and Matter. 

As I have stated these are alchemical symbols that have been usurped and then distorted for use by an alien force that seeks our destruction. I think this symbol was first used by Eliphas Levi (Louis Alphonse Constant) who was a French Occultist. Baphomet was supposed to be the symbol worshipped by the Knights Templar, but since this was said to be a severed head this may well not derive from the same thing. Whatever the case this seems to be an age-old plan for the destruction of our Race. 

The Guardian-Goddess of England

 

 

 

The Guardian-Goddess of England

 

The above drawing shows the figure of 'Britannia', who is depicted as holding a Trident, a Shield (bearing the Union Flag) and with a war-helmet. She is usually shown on the waves of the sea which suggests the idea of 'Britannia Rules the Waves' - clearly this image being adopted as that of the British Empire. Clearly not an English symbol - or is it?

 

In 1066 a Norwegian army set out to invade England under their King, Harold Hardrada, and one of his warriors, just before he departed for England, had a very strange dream. He dreamt of a great witch-wife standing on the Island of England, with a fork in one hand and a trough in the other. He interpreted this as a sign that the Norwegian army would be defeated (which it was, at Stamford Bridge, by King Harold) as the witch-wife would use the fork to rake up the dead bodies and fill the trough with blood. 

 

Another Norwegian Warrior had a dream of a huge witch-wife riding on a wolf in front of the English army. The wolf carried the body of a man in its mouth from which blood was dripping. As the wolf ate one body, the witch-wife threw it another to eat.

 

Now, let us look carefully at the first image which has the following symbolism -

 

1. A witch-wife which is a Christian interpretation.

 

2. She stands upon the Island of England.

 

3. She holds a fork.

 

4. She also holds a trough which collects the blood in battle.

 

This image is that of the Guardian Goddess of England who is shown holding a 'fork' (trident) and a 'shield' (trough) and - as the Protector of England - she stands over the land. This is none other than 'Britannia' in a much earlier guise; the original shield may well have shown the English Cross.

 

 

 

In the above we see 'St. Cuthman' (Sceaf-Ing) pushing his 'mother' in a wagon; she is seen holding a forked stick like a 'pitchfork'. This scene shows Ing following his 'waen' (Great Bear), driving his 'mother'.

 

Now we must move to the dream of the other Norwegian Warrior, where we find the following symbolism which we need to analyse -

 

1. Another witch-wife is seen, this time riding a wolf in front of the English army.

 

2. She devours the dead of the enemy.

 

This symbolism is totally different, especially in one very important way, for this witch-wife does not stand upon the land, but leads the English army. This figure is that of the Guardian-Goddess of the English - not the land of England as Britannia is. She is a Wolf-Goddess and a battle-goddess, and is clearly the goddess Freya or Idunn but in her darker aspect. Many years ago, whilst sleeping in a caravan on the Sussex Coast, I had a vivid dream of a goddess-figure who was associated with the Cat - which is well documented as the goddess Freya. This dream happened on the Summer Sunstead, which is the turn of the year from the Light-to-Darkness. It is thus very significant that this Cat-Goddess (seen as a huge figure in the skies) turned into a Wolf-Goddess who was more blood-thirsty and a darker type of figure. This fits entirely with the dream of the second warrior.

 

So here we have the figure of the Guardian-Goddess of England seen as a warrior-goddess bearing a trident and a shield - the Protector of the Land of Ing. We also have the figure of the Guardian-Goddess of the English who appears here as the Wolf-Goddess who protects the warriors in battle and indeed, leads the English Warriors into battle. Idunn is associated with the Wolf since she sleeps under a White Wolf Skin ('Odin's Raven Galdor'). In the Norse Myth called 'Odin's raven Galdor' both Idunn and Nanna are the same figures.

 

Freya is the battle-goddess who has first choice of the warriors fallen in battle, taking them to Folkvang; she is also the same goddess as Frigg, and thus the wife/mistress of Woden (Od). Woden is the Wolf-God and she is the Wolf-Goddess in her darker aspect. She is Idunn who guards the Golden Apples of Immortality and is thus associated with rebirth and regeneration.

 

Here we have two of the most important images useful in our struggle for English Freedom, for these archetypes need to be awoken once more to protect the Land of England and the English Folk. The White Dragon is not just a flag, nor just a banner, nor even just a symbol of the English - it is a symbol of England, the land, and its Folk. Awaken the image of the White Dragon and the Land of Ing will awake - awaken the White Dragon and the English Folk will awake! This is the true importance of the symbol of the White Dragon, and here we have two more important archetypal symbols to awake!

 

 

 

The Winged Coiled Serpent of Germania!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

The Winged Coiled Serpent as the Fire-Serpent

Woden's Folk uses the White Winged Coiled Serpent for the White Dragon, but this is done at an esoteric level, with the use of the normal White Dragon (which the original WDK revived back in the 1980s) at an exoteric level. Variants, as I have stated before, are other versions of the dragon and the wyvern which are sometimes used. The use of the White Winged Coiled Serpent will be explained now.

In Aryan India, through the later Hindus, the methods used in Yoga and Tantric Yoga were designed to awaken what is termed the Kundalini which is symbolised by a Coiled Serpent lying dormant at the base of the spine. This fits exactly with the Norse symbol of Yggdrasil where the dragon Nidhogg lies coiled at the base of the World Tree, with the Eagle at the top of the tree. This symbolism is an alternative to the Winged Coiled Serpent since the Serpent (wingless thus 'earthly') transforms into the Eagle (heavenly - divine - moving towards the gods), whilst the Winged Coiled Serpent also shows the transformation from earthly (i.e. material) into the spiritual realms (heaven). It is the role of Kundalini that we need to look at here.

As stated earlier, this Serpent-Force lies dormant at the Base Chakra ('Wheel') in most people, and the aim of Yoga and Tantra was to awaken this force and thus gain great power from it - the power to evolve. This Coiled Serpent was associated with the goddess Shakti, whose name means 'power'. Once awakened the Fire-Serpent rises and unites with the Crown Shakra where Shiva resides, but this uniting is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to go beyond this to the Black Sun and the Green Ray (Miguel Serrano).

There seem to be hints that this Serpent-Fire may be symbolised in both Norse Lore and Saxon Lore by the Brisingamen Necklace or Brosingamen Necklace. The names Brising/Brosing are usually said to mean 'Fiery', and the necklace has often been seen as symbolic of the female genitalia  (inverted triangle) - thus symbolic of the Root Chakra or Muladhara. This is also associated with the Hvareno or 'Glory of Light' which comes into the Zoroastrian Tradition and is the Light Power that belongs to 'the Aryan Nations, past and present, and to the Holy Zarathustra...' The awakening of the Serpent-Force would result in the 'halo' associated with the 'saints' - the Circle of Light around the head.

The key to the awakening of the Serpent-Force has to be linked to the 33 runes, since there are 33 'segments' in the spinal column, which itself is linked to both Mount Meru and to Yggdrasil-Irminsul. The symbol of the Irminsul shows clearly the 'wings' of some kind of bird, often like that of the Swan, but which can just as well be the wings of the Dragon. This also applies to the symbolism on the Sutton Hoo Mask. The spinal column is not straight, as usually imagined, but is an S-curve which is symbolic of the Serpent. At the very base is the 'tail' of the Serpent - the coccyx.

When the Kundalini is awakened it is said to open the Third Eye which is the 'Psychic Eye' or true 'Seeing Eye'.

If we study the above diagrams carefully we can see how the Third Eye is associated with the physical centre called the Pituitary Gland above which is the Hypothalamus (right diagram). The left-hand diagram is of the proposed Order Castle at the Wewelsburg Castle which shows the Spear entering the Gral, the point of the Spear actually being at the point of the Third Eye. This shows how advanced these people were in esoteric work, and that the object of the Order Castle was to awaken the Third Eye in the Initiates.

In this drawing, taken from David Icke, the hypothalamus area is shown as being the same as the Eye of Horus of Egyptian Mythology. The suggestion is that the Eye of Horus symbolises the Third Eye. In one sense we can see the loss of one of Woden's Eyes as being that of the atrophied Third Eye since this we know happened some time in the distant past. The aim of the evolution of our race would be to awaken the Serpent Fire and thus awaken the Third Eye once more, thus giving our Folk psychic powers beyond modern comprehension.

Contrary to this evolutionary process the Sons of Darkness seek to lock mankind into the material world, breaking us from the spiritual realms of Light. This process is going on from our birth to our grave, since all forms of 'education' are aimed at the use of the left-brain or 'rational brain' rather than a healthy balance of the right & left sides of the brain, with the use of the atrophied Serpent Brain and the balance held in the Corpus Callosum which acts as the communication between the two sides of the brain. The left-brain deals with logic, numbers as units, analysing, etc. whilst the right-brain deals with recognition, understanding of space, shapes, form, poetry, rhythm, music etc. and is the creative side of the brain.

The use of mathematics with numbers as 'units' and the use of language as 'letters' is done in nearly all forms of education today. Everything is geared to left-brain activity and the creative side of the brain is mainly pushed aside, apart from those who are good at artwork, poetry or certain form of drama that are akin to ritual. One of the main things that is ignored is the imagination which is being stifled now in children, since many of the old 'children's tales' and 'fairy tales' are no longer being read to children. If we study these there are so many that have no logical meaning whatever but have a deeper meaning that can only be 'felt' by the other side of the brain. This is much like the Zen Koans which are somewhat like riddles, a typical method used in Anglo-Saxon times to stimulate the brain.

The key to the awakening of the Fire-Serpent would seem to be the Vital Breath as we can see from the Sutton Hoo Mask where the nose-piece is the ondweg or 'Way of the Vital Breath'. Here the Serpent that is seen to come from the base of the neck (Serpent-Brain?) across the top of the skull, ending at the Third Eye where it contacts the Eagle-Dragon-Swan whose wings are the 'eyebrows'.

The Saxon Irminsul is an 'arrow' pointing upwards with the tip between the two 'wings', and which is something very similar to the symbolism of the Dancing Warriors -

1. Both symbols have the Solar Horns - upward-pointing 'horns' or 'wings'.

2. Both symbols have the Lunar Horns - downward-pointing 'horns' or 'volutes'.

On the Sutton Hoo Mask the ends of the 'wings' (eyebrows) end in Boar's Heads whereas the ends of the Dancing Warrior's Solar Horns end in bird's heads. The symbolism has to be of importance, as does the 'heel' emphasised in some of the 'dancing' figures. I have shown in a previous article how some figures are totally naked apart from a belt and buckle, which must emphasise the buckle as symbolic of the hara or Tan Dien which is around 2 fingers below the navel. This point is one of the Power-Centres of the human body and the seat of Odroerir - the Wod-Roarer.

Another part of the use of the Vital Breath is that of visualisation which is the important part of any magical operation or ritual, since it gives intent and purpose to what would otherwise be like an empty shell. I have on numerous occasions emphasised that runic gealdor is of no use without -

1. Visualisation.

2. One-pointed concentration.

3. Intent/purpose.

4. Will.

Gealdor and sound are also part of the process of awakening the Kundalini - called 'Mantra' in Yoga and Tantra. The actual movement of the Fire-Serpent could be likened to the S-movement of the serpent, moving around and activating the Chakras (Wheels). If this is so then each chakra would move in the opposite direction to that before and after. If we project the 33-runes onto the Spinal Column (Mount Meru-Yggdrasil) and start at the base with Feoh, then the Gar-Rune would represent the top of the Spinal Column as the 33rd sector from the base. Since the Fire-Serpent is said to reach the Third Eye, and we see this on the Sutton Hoo Mask, then this point (as seen on the proposed form of the Wewelsburg Order Castle) is the tip of the Spear of Woden, the Gar-Rune actually being the Spear of Woden.

The Spear of Woden is the 'Gift of Ing' which is a symbolism found in the Edel-Rune and on the White Stone of Ing. In all of these there is a link with the DNA and the Genetic Code, as well as the Blood Memory (Ing-Rune). There are clear links between the Ing-Rune (22), the Edel-Rune (24) and the Gar-Rune (33). Since the last four runes are seen (in our system) as the Gral Runes we can link these to the idea of the opening of the Third Eye.

We have earlier mentioned that today's world emphasises the left-brain function of rationality, whereas the ideal is the balance of the two sides of the brain. In order to understand where we are going wrong we need to look at something that is today either forgotten, ignored, or even suppressed - the function of the Heart Centre. Science has discovered that the heart has a consciousness of its own, set apart from the brain. This would seem rather strange but for the fact that we already have a number of sayings that suggest that the heart does have its own consciousness -

Take it to heart...

Learn by heart...

Has'nt the heart...

Heart and Soul - thus linking the heart with the soul.

Hale and Hearty - suggesting a harmonious working linked to the heart-centre.

He gave all his heart...

Heartfelt greetings...

She was heartbroken...

He broke her heart...

All of these (and more) suggest there is something special about the human heart and/or the Heart Centre. In The Final Battalion (55 Club - from Amazon.co.uk) there is a very interesting piece about the First and the Last or the Beginning and the End where the author gives the following key to this -

H-eart (the 'H' is here the first)

Eart-H (the 'H' is here the last, making the word Earth)

We have here a clear link between the Heart-Centre and the Earth, suggesting that the opening of the Heart Centre is the key to the awakening of the Earth - i.e. the Sleeping Goddess whom we can see as the 'Sleeping Beauty' or Idunn under the White Wolf-Skin, and even link this to the Sleeping-Goddess Kundalini. It is interesting to note that in Odin's Raven Song the gods try to awaken Idunn, unsuccessfully, until it is suggested that they 'sleep' on it and await the New dawn - i.e. await the correct time of the Cosmic Cycle. Miguel Serrano suggests that the Feathered Serpent (Kundalini) arose as far as the Heart-Centre until halted by the Great Flood, at which time it lost it's 'wings' and was thus transformed into the earth-bound 'serpent'. The aim of human evolution is to arouse the serpent once more which must regain it's 'wings' and fly upwards towards the Morning Star. From our own Folk-Tales and Germanic Mythology it is clear that it is the Divine Hero who awakens the Sleeping Goddess.

The Sanskrit kund means 'to burn' and kunda means 'to coil'/'spiral', hence the term Kundalini - 'Fire Serpent'. The roots of this word links to our term candle and also to the Ken-Rune or Kan-Rune - this is the Kandil-Force in Wodenic Lore. The Mayan Hurakan (from which we get 'hurricane') has been said to represent Kundalini. We have mentioned the Ken-Rune as linked to the Fire-Serpent and there is also a link with the Sigel-Rune too, which is a glyph of the Serpent as well as the Lightning-Bolt.

The above White Dragon has three and a half coils, as does the Fire-serpent, and is the one used by the Inner Order of Woden's Folk. This is a Winged Coiled Serpent which is the Ur-Form of the Dragon. One of the earliest mentions of the dragon as a Germanic Symbol is in the Welsh Mabinogian where mention is made of a Golden Winged Coiled Serpent from Germany. We need to understand the nature of the colour-symbolism -

Golden Dragon - Golden Sun - The Dawn.

White Dragon - White Sun - The Day.

Red Dragon - Red Sun - The Dusk.

It may be for this reason that the name Whitsuntide was used for the time around the end of May, this meaning White Sun Tide. It could also be why the name has been dropped and replaced by the meaningless term 'Spring Bank Holiday'. It should be noted how our 'Holy Days' have been deemed to be linked to the 'banks' and to money and materialism.

The White Dragon has the same symbolism since this has the body of a Serpent with wings and a tail; but this version is not coiled as the esoteric version.

This version is the two-legged Wyvern version which has exactly the same symbolism but has two legs rather than four.

This is the White Wyvern symbolism on a red shield which has been in use for some years by Woden's Folk. I have mentioned that the term wyvern could be a play-on-words for wif-earn meaning 'Eagle-Woman' or 'Eagle-Wife', this being associated with Wyrd and the Norns. This is further hinted at by the use of two legs, since the Eagle has two clawed feet.

I have mentioned the link between Kundalini and the Sig-Rune, so it is just a step further to note that when this force is awakened it is said to give a kind of 'electric' feeling up and down the spine, and the feeling of 'fire' (warmth) - which is something that occurs with deep, relaxed meditation. The Sig-Rune also represents 'electricity' because of its symbolism of the Lightning-Bolt. Kundalini has been said to reside in the triangular-shaped sacrum in three and a half coils - maybe this is why 'sacrum' means 'sacred'. Others say it resides in the coccyx, but the thing we need to understand is that the important thing is not the physical location - which is only a marker - because this is in what has sometimes been called the 'subtle body'.

The Serpent represents the 'earthly' aspect since it glides along the ground   and is 'earth-bound'. The Winged Serpent (or 'Feathered Serpent') is air-bound and moves towards the heavens and towards the divine. This is a very important symbolism, since the Winged Coiled Serpent represents the transformation of man into the God-Man. The White Dragon also represents our own Milky Way Galaxy which is a spiral form and which has 88 constellations - in two-dimensional form it is a curvilinear swastika.

The Winged Coiled Serpent is also the Feathered Serpent who was called Quetzalcoatl (Aztec) and Kukulkan (Mayan), both seeming to be associated with the Morning Star - Venus. It can be no coincidence that Quetzalcoatl sails across the seas in a boat, just as Sceaf-Ing sails to Scandi in a boat, and both are associated with Venus - Ing being 'Lord of the Elves' and as Ingvi-Frey he is of the Vanir-Gods, hence the association with Venus. Sceaf-Ing is the Divine Ancestor of the English Folk. Both arrive amongst a people as culture-bearers bringing the art of cultivation and science. We also have an account of Sceaf bearing a 'lighted taper' which obviously symbolises Fire which suggests a link with the Fire-Serpent and to the Nyd-Fire or 'Friction-Fire'.







 Many centuries ago, according to the legend, the Serpent came out of the sea and grew wings. ...It had started its journey to the stars, and particularly the Morning Star, when suddenly it was overcome by the waters of the great Flood, which waters inundated the earth. On this occasion the Plumed Serpent did not drown, but it lost its wings.Had these wings not been destroyed, the Serpent would surely have reached the Morning Star, and there in the spacious palace there would have been a meeting. The joy of that encounter could have been expressed only in tears, forming the fruit of eternity.”

The Woden Mystery Religion.

I think that most people are aware that we need a new Folkish Religion that will bring the English Folk together, unifying the elements that are today broken into factions and split through constant arguments and inter-group strife. Where there was a growing unity of purpose this has now been lost, and the awakening English Consciousness has been distorted and the English Destiny diverted from its true course. In referring to a Folkish Religion I mean an exoteric religion that is clearly based upon a working knowledge of the Eternal Struggle that we are waging against the Sons of Darkness and Matter. It is not enough just to try to revive an old religion which has long been dead and gone, neither is it enough to try to attract the masses at this time - the 'numbers game' will only fail in the long term.

 

The key to the Woden Folk-Religion lies in its basic tenet that we are entering a New Age and that this requires a new god-form or archetype and that this new archetype is that of Wid-Ar the Avenger. The form of the 'hanged god' is no longer viable, whether 'Christ' or 'Odin' since this archetype does not correspond to the needs of our Folk today. There  were certain comments made in pre-war Germany such as 'Odin is Dead!' which did not imply that these people did not recognise the importance of Odin, but that they recognised that the Odin Archetype of the 'hanged god' was 'dead' and that Odin was to be resurrected as the 'Living God' who had climbed down from the Wolf-Tree and become a new Warrior-God, young and virile since he had resurrected as 'The Son'. This is why we call our religious movement Wodenism since the High God is still Woden but resurrected in the form of his 'Son' - Wid-Ar.

 

If we look at some different religions of the past - Greek, Roman, Egyptian - we find that each one of them is an exoteric religion aimed at the broad mass of people, but with an esoteric religion or Mystery Religion as a form of 'Inner Order', this being an Initiatory Religion aimed at an inner 'elite' whose role was to keep alive the Ancient Wisdom and pass it on to future generations. Above all, the role of these Mystery Religions was to keep the religion as pure as possible and avoid distortion and destruction from outside.

 

Now we can see the true role of Woden's Folk which has always been based more upon the esoteric side of the religion - as a true Mystery Religion. Wodenism was revived by Woden's Folk as an exoteric religion needed by the English Folk, and within this (from the start) was the Inner Order or Mystery Religion in one form or another. The emphasis (at this time) was towards the esoteric because such a new form of religion needs time to establish itself before it can be promoted to a wider audience. If this had not been done the whole thing would have become distorted and lose its origins within the Folkish Movement.

 

The first thing that any Mystery Religion needs is a connection to the Sacred Centre, the Gods and Ancestors. This has been aptly proven by many of the strange phenomena that have been either witnessed or photographed at our Folk-Moots, especially those that we have done at the Wayland's Smithy. Through the Hearth of Wayland (OR), the original White Dragon Kindred, and then Woden's Folk we have used this sacred site for the last 25 years or so - and we shall continue to do so into the future since we have had proof of the effect of our work at this site on many occasions.

 

There is another thing that sets WF apart from some Odinist and non-Folkish Wodenist groups is that we see the god Woden in a far different role than is usual given to him -

 

1. The Wolf-God and Leader of the Mannerbunde.

 

2. The Wild Huntsman - this is a far darker role than is usually attributed to Woden.

 

3. The Leader of the Einheriar and thus the god that leads the Forces of Light against the Forces of Darkness and Chaos.

 

4. The resurrection of Woden as Wid-Ar who is the Avenging God and whose incarnation we await in our times - an avatar role.

 

5. The Mystical Initiator into the Light of Higher Consciousness whose role is to aid the evolution of our Folk upwards towards the Superman. In this role Woden leads the revolt against the 'Dark Lord' that controls the world today, and has locked mankind into the material world and broken the link with the Spiritual Worlds.

 

6. The Avatar role, which recognises that Woden incarnates on Earth at certain periods of the Cosmic Cycle, and that He came down to our Folk from 1933-1945 to wage a Holy War against the Darkness and to expose the Great Enemy that seeks the total destruction of our Folk.

7. Woden as the 'Serpent-Slayer' the role shown in the Nine Herbs Charm the key to which is the 33-rune Atalland Rune-Row which goes back into very ancient times, and which has been revived by the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag within Woden's Folk.

 

These aspects of the Woden Folk-Religion separates WF from any other Wodenist group, hence why we stick to the term Folkish Wodenism to differentiate from those who do not take our line. We recognise the need for an initiatory Mystery Religion that will keep our work from getting distorted and 'watered-down' through a more 'populist' approach that will play the 'number's game' (this is always true of any movement, and a close look at the 'nationalist' scene of the past 50 years or so will verify that this happens). The strength of WF has always been in its Inner Order which has remained true to our weltanshauung, ideology and ideas and has kept the new religious movement from being distorted or destroyed.

 

What is most important at this time is to disseminate our ideas to a wider audience, since this is how we can establish our work at an exoteric level. It is well established that after around 2005 the original mainly-Christian based 'Englisc' scene moved towards the heathen religion of Wodenism and this was due to the work of Woden's Folk - the hard work of all WF Activists who took time and effort to work for this aim. Unfortunately, the 'Englisc' scene became full of internal strife and arguments, fall-outs over the most petty things, rampant egoism and the usual problem of 'too many chiefs and not enough Indians'. The fact that this scene was not Folkish in outlook made for a situation in which very few 'English Nationalists' knew anything about the world-situation and many followed the new street-movements that are clearly state-sponsored and backed, and whose aim was to continue the 'official' war on 'World-Wide Terrorism' at every level, in the process controlling the so-called 'right' as much as the 'left' had been previously.

 

The importance of the Woden Mystery Religion cannot be overemphasised, because since the original awakening of English Consciousness (through the awakening of the symbol of the White Dragon) the whole thing has been distorted and the English Awakening has not taken place. The only way for WF is to step back and to move towards the more esoteric Woden Mystery Religion with our work being aimed at the magical awakening of the White Dragon symbol within the consciousness of the English Folk. Through certain magical rites and talismanic rites the White Dragon was 'roused' so we need to return to this stage to start over again in the process of this awakening. This time the emphasis will be on the Folkish Movement as the basis for an English Awakening - Woden's Folk will keep the Flame of the Folkish Movement alive until such time as the Last Avatar arises here in England.

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.
