Ar Var Alda - Gap Var Ginnunga

I have covered this before but here I am going to put forward some new ideas on the same subject. This phrase sometimes comes together with another one - Gap Var Ginnunga. One of the meanings of Ar Var Alda could be 'In days of yore' which has been used by some scholars. This is an interesting way of putting it because -

• It suggests a time in the most ancient past.
• The word 'yore' comes from the Old English gear meaning 'year'; this is the Ger-Rune in the English Rune-Row which is the equivalent to the Ar-Rune of the Norwegian and Icelandic rows. Is it a 'coincidence' that we have the word Ar in Ar Var Alda? 'Year' would have had a far wider meaning than we use it today. 

And the word var is so close to the vara of Persian Mythology which was a 'square enclosure' that held the 'Seeds of Life' just like the 'ark' found in the Christian Bible. This was created by Yima who ruled over the Golden Age; Yima is Ymir, out of which a new cosmos was created. I have shown how Ar Var Alda refers to the 'First Time' or 'Ur-Time', the 'Time of the Gods' when the Ur-Lag (Primal Laws) and the Ur-Myths (Archetypal Myths) were set down. The role of ritual is to recreate this 'Primal Time' or 'Golden Age of the Gods'.

The word Gap Var Ginnunga means (leaving out the var) 'gap-yawning'; we have the Old English ginan meaning 'yawn'. But, as with much of our word-hoard we find connections between words that are rather obvious to us bur not to many scholars. Ginnunga suggests 'be-ginning' which is obviously linked to the idea of the 'Ur-Time' or 'First Time'. The idea of a 'gap' also suggests the 'gap' between the worlds which has to be breached in order to gain access to the other worlds. It must be stated that Ginnungagap is not something that existed merely at the beginning, but exists as the 'gap' between the worlds; it is The Void. 

Looking at the word var we find links to the Great Winter and the Great Flood through the Persian vara and the Golden Age through Yima. The word may well be linked to the IE Root *wer- or Aryan Root *war- which have a number of meanings -

• High raised spot.
• To raise, to lift, to uphold.
• To turn, to coil, to wind.

This is also associated with the Wyrd through -

• Old English weorthan meaning 'to befall',
• Germanic *werthan meaning 'to become' ('to turn into'). 
• Old English weorth meaning 'worth'.

If this link is right then it suggests that var is associated with the process of Becoming and Wyrd. The phrase Ar Var Alda occurs in the First Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane where Helgi appears at the start of the Warg-Age to kindle war on Earth. This suggests that this is the era of change and destruction at the end of a world-age or cosmic-cycle and that this was an Ur-Myth or Archetypal Myth set down in the Ur-Age. 

We are still left with the vara as a 'square enclosure' in which the 'Seeds of Life' are held; it is most likely that the scientists of today trying to store the 'Seeds of Life' is a kind of dim remembrance of this process which takes place in our times. This suggests a conscious or unconscious recognition that we are indeed in the End-Times and that catastrophic change will take place on Earth. These myths are Eternal. 

The Peorth-Rune is the 'Swan-Ship' which is associated with Scef who appeared at the end of the fabled Golden Age. It is the Swan-Ship that sails upon the Waters of Chaos or 'Waters of Dissolution' - the Wafeln. But it can also be seen as an 'Ark' and even linked to the Mayan Stela below -

The 'Ark' contained the 'Seeds of Life' but in the form of plants, animals and man in the Old Testament. Both accounts tell of the need to keep the 'Seeds of New Life' after a Great Flood or Great Catastrophe. This suggests a continuation of life, albeit subject to a great change and perhaps (at times) evolutionary jump. The Mayan Stela is that of Kukulkan who appears after a great catastrophe in order to renew civilisation. 

Looking back at what I said about 'In days of Yore', this phrase would be rather ridiculous if we take 'yore' as being 'year' in the strict sense used of it today. This is a period of time within a cycle of time. It may well be that the phrase itself was used either consciously or unconsciously to mean the same as Ar Var Alda, thus passing down the secret through the ages. A possible meaning given in an etymological dictionary is 'that which makes a complete cycle' which extends it beyond the Yearly Cycle that we use today. It may suggest the point at which 'time' came into being with the 'Cycles of Time'. 

I cannot but equate the phrase Ar Var Alda with the Wr.Alda of the Oera Linda Book of the Frisians. The prefix wr- is the same as ur- and would mean 'primal' or 'first'; thus the 'Primal Ancient' extended to the 'Primal Ancient One' when seen as a deity. AR-AER-ER-IR-OR-OER-IR form a sequence that are all linked as one in considering what has been said. 

What we need to recall is that the 'Golden Age' came to an end through a violent catastrophe, but that the lands concerned were taken out of this dimension into another dimension - the idea of the Inner Earth. Tolkien is the best source for this since he mentions this and the Straight Road that gives access to this 'fallen land'. When we do ritual to recreate this 'Sacred Time' or 'Magical Time' we go through the 'veil' between the worlds to access this Golden Land. This is the fabled Agharti or Shambhala of the Buddhists and is a parallel world to ours here in Midgard. We 'recreate' this here in Midgard.

The phrase Ar Var Alda begins the First Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane which suggests that this is used perhaps to recognise a new cycle or new age. Helgi Hundingsbane appears at the end of an era of peace, not I feel that of the fabled 'Golden Age' but of a later era, the era when the Warg-Age or Kali Yuga begins. This suggests that it here refers to a new era or new world-age, or that of a new cycle within the Great Year Cycle. Here, again, we see the term 'Great Year' which suggests what I have said above is right - this is a cycle of time and not necessarily a 12-month cycle as we know it to be today. The Ger-Rune or Ar-Rune is thus linked to not only a Yearly Cycle where it moves clockwise through the twelve signs of the zodiac, but a Great Year Cycle where it moves anti-clockwise through these signs. We should now consider this rune from this angle and add to our knowledge of it. It means more than a 'harvest' as it is usually considered, although this concept does come into it in terms of Wyrd or 'worth'. 

There may be a suggestion that the Twelve-Month Cycle and the Great Year Cycle are both broken into twelve parts, even though we usually see the Great Year as being 26,000 years. Some ancient traditions tell of a 24,000 Great Year cycle, thus broken into two halves each of 12,000 years. This cycle would be made up of twelve 2,000 year-old world-ages. Thus the term 'year' may well be based upon the Sacred Number Twelve. Some 12,000 years ago we find the sinking of 'Atlantis', or at least the mighty catastrophe that sank much of the ancient lands. Since this is a North-Western Cycle according to Julius Evola then it is surely linked to At-al-land. The Thulean Cycle or Hyperborean Cycle seems to be linked to the Sacred Number Seven and the Polar Mythos, whereas the At-al-land Cycle is based upon the Sacred Number Twelve and the Solar Mythos, together with all of the legends based around these numbers. 

In the Ar-Kan Runes we find the Ger-Rune as the twelfth rune which seems to be no coincidence. It is the central rune of the 24-Rune CGF. This rune is followed by the Eoh-Rune or Aiwaz-Rune whose variant is the Wolf-Hook Rune which is the Symbol of Wid-Ar - the Coming Man. Is this really a 'coincidence'? Wid-Ar appears to end one cycle and begin a new cycle, and here we have a link between 12 and 13, the latter said to be 'unlucky', though no-one seems to know why. We do know that the Age of Christ (Pisces) started around 7 BCE, and that the Age of Ing was conceived 2000 years later on August 11th 1999, thus a 2,000 year cycle. I would hazard a guess that the splitting of 26,000 years into twelve equal parts is a modern idea, since here we see a 2,000 year period for the last world-age. Taking this as being twelve equal parts with 2,000 years each we get 24,000 years. Which leaves us with a missing 2,000 year period to make this 26,000 years.

Either the 24,000 year period has been 'rounded down' or we have a 26,000 year period made up of thirteen signs of the zodiac, with one sign now being lost. In the Legend of King Arthur we have Twelve Knights of the Round Table, and yet there is a 'Thirteenth Seat'. 

The above is the 'Round Table' in Winchester which has twelve white sections and twelve dark sections. At the top is the 'king' or 'King Arthur', but the spacing of this area at the top is wrong, and should not the 'King' be in the centre as the Sun around which the signs revolve? He does sit above the centre but leaving him out the sections are uneven at the top. That the subjection of the English forms part of this seems quite obvious from the central motif of the large and dominant Red Rose which encloses the small White Rose of Albion & England. This, I believe was done by Edward I in the Twelfth Century, and thus over two hundred years before Henry Tudor (Red Rose & Red Dragon) defeated Richard III (White Rose and White Boar/Dragon). The knowledge of 'King Arthur' of the Red Dragon formed part of this lore of the time. Prince Charles was said to have been sworn in under the Sign of the Red Dragon, said to be the power behind the throne today. 

The above is the symbol of 'Brit-Am' which is a British-American Zionist Movement using exactly the same symbolism as the one found on the Round Table at Winchester. The notable difference between the two symbols shown here is that the latter has roses made up of six petals, something that does not exist in Nature since the rose has five petals. Six is a Cabalistic Number, hence the change in our own era - the 'Beast' has the Number 666 (the three-fold extension of 6) and the 'Beast' of Revelation is the 'Great Red Dragon' with seven heads and ten horns (2 x 5). In the above symbolism the Hexagon (6) is overlaid by the Pentagram (5) since one of the 'diamonds' is missing at the bottom. 

A slight digression (as usual) here but this does underline the fact that there is something wrong with the Winchester Round Table. Of course, Winchester was the English Capital and Capital of Wessex, and before that the Capital of the Belgae, an importance no doubt not missed when placing this symbolism at the 'Sacred Centre' of the English. 

The 'Perilous Seat' of 'Thirteenth Seat' seems to be linked to the idea of a kind of 'gateway' leading into the Otherworld. Or at least this is how it appears in some stories within the Graal Mythos. 

In this now famous Daily Mail cutting of August 11th 1999 Leo the Lion is shown at the top of the zodiac, this being twisted around to create the Ing-Rune and the Cross of Fro-Ing. Leo the Lion is the White Dragon as I have shown before. This is opposite to the sign of Aquarius at the bottom. There is something here of interest since Venus (not shown) is also in the White Dragon, together with the Sun and the Moon. Uranus is in the sign of Aquarius, and it is thus strange that both Venus and Uranus are the only planets that revolve clockwise in our Solar System. The 'seat' of 'King Arthur' is at the top and the very same symbolism has the 'King of the Angles' resurrected at this time (*). 

(*) The term 'Angolmois' used in the Prophesies of Nostradamus was in fact an area of France belonging to the English. This, of course, does not exist today so its use as such would not fulfil such a prophesy, and this can only refer to the 'King of the Angles' today rather than  a king of a now defunct area of France. But the link is there nonetheless and emphasises what I have said before. 

Of course, the above Ing-Rune can also be seen as a 'square enclosure' when moved around to make the 'square', thus making the vara (var) within the Great Year Cycle. We are at the end of this Cycle of the Ages, and English Mythology came back to life with the Lord of the Rings whose first part was released in December (Wolfmoon) 1999, the second part in December 2000, and the third part in December 2001 (here in England). Again we should see here that there are twelve Solar Months and thirteen Lunar Months, the same symbolism as the Round Table. Since the Teutonic Folk seemed to have related time to the Thirteen Lunar Months then a Thirteenth Sign of the Zodiac is not improbable. It has been the subject of a book but the copy I had of this has been lost in the ravages of time. The only thing I seem to recall of this is that the sign related to 'The Spider', but this is a subject too long to go into here, suffice it to say that Loki is actually associated with the 'Spider', and we see this symbol appearing all over the world, that of the 'Cosmic Spider' mentioned by a certain German Rune-Magician. We shall not go into this now. The 'Spider' that spins the 'World Wide Web' of lies and deceit.

The Arya & The Joten

The Arya -

• Ar = movement, struggle, to surpass, to achieve excellence.
• Arya, ari = to toil, to fight, to climb, to rise.

The Arya is the Warrior of Light who stands beside the Gods in battle against the Forces of Darkness and Matter. Woden or Rudra-Shiva leads the upward evolution of Man, battles against all evil, smiting the Great Enemy; he is the most 'terrible of the gods' who accepts no defeat. Agni-Ingwe is the 'child' of this force here upon the Earth. 

The Aryan Light is the Light of the Sun; with the birth of Agni-Inga Light is created with which he slays the Joten-Dasyu and the Forces of Darkness and Chaos. The Solar-Light is the -

• Arya,
• R.ta,
• Hiranya - gold, the highest light.

The Arya Varna are the Powers of Light; Agni-Inga is the Warrior-Hero of action, leading us on the path of Truth. He is the form of Golden Light, the Solar Light of the Truth. He is the 'Fire in the Sap' and the 'Fire in the Blood' - the Solar-Fire. 

The 'Lost Sun' of the Arya is the Black Sun - this is the Solar Light of Swar, the highest consciousness. This is the Lost Sun of Truth that shines within the Aryan Blood. In the Vedas the recovery of the Light is done by the Angiras - the Seven Sages. The Angiras are -

• The Powers of Light and Flame,
• The Sons of the Flame.
• Those who possess 'The Word', 'The Thought' and 'The Truth'. 
• The Angiras represent the human hero (Wera) who has lost his divinity, has fallen and must ascend to find 'The Word', to bring to birth the Divine Dawn. From mortality to immortality, from falsehood to truth.

The Hidden Light of the Black Sun is the 'Occulted Sun' and the 'Secret Light' that shines within. The Hidden Light is concealed in the Darkness, in an Age of Darkness and Ignorance. 

The Joten -

These are the Eoten or 'eaters' and the best way that we can understand such a force is through the Vedic Dasyus. The Dasyus has a number of attributes from which we can get an idea of these Dark Forces -

• The thief,
• The enemy,
• The wolf that devours - Fenris Wolf,
• The dividers,
• The confiners,
• The obstructors,
• The Powers of Darkness and Ignorance who oppose the seeker of truth and immortality.
• The Warg that steals the Light, the obstructor (nid) and 'spoiler of The Word',
• The 'eater' of the souls, and 'eater' of the Light.
• The force that divides, breaks down the wholeness and haelness,
• The evil-thinker,
• The Great Liar, the Great Deceiver.

The word dasa means 'servant' and we can see from this how the adherents of the Slave-Religions are themselves 'servants' of this force who prostrate themselves before their 'God' on their hands and knees. The word das means 'work' and they use such terms as 'the workers' as the basis of the Revolt of the Slaves, even though nine out of ten have never done a day's work in their lives. They use the terms of their 'calling'. The Dasyus are the enemies of the Spiritual Light. These are the Dasa-Varna, the Powers of Darkness.

The Aryan Science of Implosion

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

I have told you about these implosive machines; where they were built in 1943-1945, who built them in 1943-1945, who stole them, and who destroyed them at the end of the war on the orders of Field Marshal Keitel. Many technical and leading lights actually emigrated to Argentina. They were more intelligent than those who brought me such an implosive motor recently, who were unable to manufacture the special system of jet-nozzles, which are protected by world-wide patents. These can transform highly compressed air into etheric, levitating, and lightning-like structures.'

Implosion magazine No 94 - Viktor Schauberger in a letter to Aloys Kokaly, 1954. 'The Fertile Earth'.

Viktor Schauberger was primarily concerned with the ecology of the German Forests, in particular the effects produced in water which sustains these ancient forests. Water, as we know, is the 'Blood of the Earth' and subject to the same laws as that of 'sap' in the plant and tree, and 'blood' in animals and humans. He recognised that water is a 'living' being, and that water from within the Earth is either 'pushed' upwards or 'drawn' upwards - the latter giving rise to the idea of it 'levitating' upwards. 

From his work on the forests he discovered the use of 'levitation' as applied to water, and the effects of a 'vortex' that produces high energy. This work is based upon the Aryan Science of Implosion which is the polar-opposite to modern science based wholly upon explosion which produces noise, pollution and the Science of Ugliness. 

Water is not a 'dead' thing, except in the case of our 'tap-water'; it is a living being containing Life-Force when it is pure and natural. Schauberger uses the example of the trout which at a certain time of the year swims upstream against the flow of water in order to reach 'the vicinity of the spring,...charged with negative-ions'. The fish overcomes its own body-weight and this force of fast-flowing water through 'levitational energies'. 

A simple test that anyone can do is to water a plant in a pot. The water seeps downwards through the soil when watered from the top, thus observing the effects of gravity. But you can also put the water in a base-container and it will seep upwards through the soil, a process that seems to defy gravity. This is the process by which the sap rises from the roots of a tall tree, upwards to the very top of the tree. This is, we are told, through capillary action. 

'The building of space-rockets, jet aircraft and all devices of war, which exploit the power of explosion will cease for the same reason. By reversing metabolic processes and exploiting cold oxidation, propulsive and levitative forces can be produced. These are considerably more powerful and environmentally friendly than any hot combustible process in use today, which exclusively generates forces of disintegration and recoil.'

The Secret of the Trout Motor - Schauberger.

Schauberger envisages a kind of 'utopia' due to the shift from Explosive Science to Implosive Science, which would be the case if it were not for the Global Elite who today rule the world. Whilst everything rests on 'profit and gain', the 'greed for gold' and works on a gigantic 'global society' then this cannot come about. There is no doubt that certain elements in Germany prior to World War II were working on this Implosive Science but unfortunately in times of threat and of war the use of Explosive Science would have had to take first place, thus pushing the former into the background. 

It is quite possible, and indeed more than likely, bearing in mind Schauberger's words about the 'leading lights that emigrated to Argentina', that the Germans working on the exoteric side, or explosive side, were the ones who were 'shipped' to the USA under 'Operation Paperclip', hence the advancements in rocketry and aircraft that took place there. The esoteric side may well have been so hidden and covert that the winners of the war were not able to gain inroads into it. In fact, since the whole of this society is based upon this Explosive Science, the profit made from it, and the power it gives over the people due to them being less and less self-reliant and self-sufficient, then it would certainly not be in their interest to advance Implosive Science. 

Nokola Tesla went some way towards advancing Implosive Science when recognising what is now termed Zero-Point Energy and his ideas of producing a free energy for all would have put paid to the monopoly of the Global Bankers and Global Corporations - had it not been stopped, of course. Zero-Point Energy is, of course, nothing new; it is merely a new name fo something that has always existed, known by various names throughout time -

• Universal Life-Energy,
• Life-Force,
• Vril-Force,
• The Odic Force,
• Orgone Energy.

There are many more names too numerous to mention here, but all of these refer to what is now called Zero-Point Energy. The term Odic-Force is important to us, and no doubt stems from the Aryan Root *wuot- which is the root of the name Wuotan. The root means 'all-pervasive' or 'all-penetrating' and is thus ideal for describing a Universal Life-Force that pervades everything. This Universal Energy-Field could produce free energy for everyone, hence the reason why science does not go too far with this, and 'patents' for much of the work is held in the hands of the Global Powers. 'Patents' ensure monopolies, and thus control.

'Unfortunately, catastrophes or scandalous disclosures always have to happen before humanity realises that it is its own mistakes that have led it into misfortune. These are all the more difficult to rectify, because in the main they have been made by the authorities, who will not commit suicide themselves, but in order to save their own skins, they would rather than all Life should perish before they acknowledge their errors.'

Implosion Magazine - 1933.

This may well apply to certain individuals, but there are also out there many involved in this destructive process who have no care whatever for Nature, and who are blind to anything bar the power they wield over others. Viktor Schauberger is concerned primarily with the forests, being a forester, and was thus an expert on trees. He was right in saying that man has little knowledge today of the workings of the forests, and plants trees for his own use without regard for how they grow healthily through natural processes. Most of the 'forests' of England are today artificial creations mainly through the work of the 'Forestry Commission' which 'owns' most of the woodlands. Vast tracts of conifer-forests were planted in areas of England where they do not grow naturally; this was for the war effort in World War I as well as today for 'fast-growing' trees to make wood-products for mass-production, though much of this is today supplied from overseas. 

'The catastrophes which beset the Earth will also become more and more violent, for humanity has stolen carbone (her bread), water (her blood) and energy (her soul). Untiringly, humanity labours on an plunges deeper and deeper into abject misery.'

The Energy Industry - Schauberger.

The drive towards 'timber' rather than 'wood', 'woodland' and 'forest' has destroyed most of the ancient woodlands. Trying to produce 'timber' quickly so as to make profit, or even as what is seen as 'necessity', has achieved a virtual collapse of the eco-system. The work of hundreds or thousands of years by Nature has been halted by man through his greed for gain, and through countless wars created by the same greedy and power-hungry Global Masters.

This is not just restricted to forests, as he points out, but also to agriculture where artificial fertilisation has ruined the soil, where quickly-grown crops are today void of any health values. Of course there are too many people even though Mother Nature strives to halt this through ever more diseases and illnesses. 

Once again, the root problem lies here with the concept of the Haeldom where everything is in working harmony, where every part works as an integral part of the whole. This harmony and balance can be called the Pulse of Nature because the whole thing 'pulsates' in a rhythm; when this harmony and balance is broken the rhythm is stopped and a kind of 'cancer' affects all life throughout Nature. Of course, this process is not 'natural' but nonetheless it is there, and it is the same power that seeks to destroy our Folk - the Joten. This is the power that breaks up, separates, destroys the balance and harmony, destroys the wholeness and oneness of the eco-system. Globalists of whatever hue, including the so-called 'Eco-People', will never be able to understand this in their drive to create a 'One-World System', and in the process destroy the races of the Earth, which are just as natural as any other part of Nature. 

'The economic death of a people has always been preceded by the death of its forests'.

This destruction has gone on unhindered due to the inability of human beings to pull together in opposition to the ruling-powers that are behind it all. This division between peoples has to be overcome, not by fusing the races into one race (capable of become slaves to the Power-Elite) but by a healthy separation in which they can start to work together with the same goal of combatting these unholy powers. 'Race hatred' is not the answer because it is part of the problem; this was carefully engendered in order to create strife and disharmony between races, just as strife and disharmony have been created within the  sexes, within each nation by its 'democratic' politics, and within each family due to such things as the role of the Mother-Father and the 'generation-gap' falsely created to induce strife between adults and children. Local communities have also been broken up, another form of this division, and again this creates disharmony and strife between individuals and groups. 

On the subject of the UFOs brought up by Viktor Schauberger there is obviously some cause for us to believe that there may be something in that the Germans had advanced science in this field. The 'exoteric' science passed to the USA (mainly), but there remains an Esoteric Science, the Aryan Science of Implosion. Schauberger's ideas were based upon a 'water-vortex' process which is found naturally in Nature, and thus harmonious with the workings of Nature. That the ancients had a much fuller knowledge of this seems clear since many of the UFOs worked on a mercury-propelled device which is the subject of ancient Aryan Texts from India. 

These esoteric sciences were the work of the Thule Society, the Vril Society, the Order of the Black Stone, and then the Black Order. Although the esoteric side was neglected through the war-effort nearer to the end of World War II Schauberger and others were turned to for help. Now, on the surface this seems to be due to the need to more powerful weaponry, but one thing suggests that this is not quite right. Evidence has recently come to light that the Germans were the first to create an Atomic Bomb which was tested I believe, but which was never put into use. This may, or may not have been the Siegwaffe, but this really does not matter. The truth seems to be that the esoteric sciences were moved to South America, Argentina mentioned by Schauberger, whilst the exoteric work was actually destroyed to keep the knowledge from the hands of the enemies of Germany at the time. Evidence suggests also that Antarctica also became a centre for the esoteric work. 

What we now need is to rid ourselves of 'agri-business' and the 'forest industry' both of which are causing harm to the Mother Earth. 'Farming' and 'Forestry' are far different concepts than the former. The decline in the health and quality of the forests, and the fertility of the land is down to the former powers that are today in vogue. 

'Our primeval Mother Earth is an organism which no science in the world can rationalise. Everything upon her that crawls and flies is dependent upon her and all must hopelessly perish, if that Earth that feeds us dies.'

Schauberger.

When we talk of UFOs, of 'extra-terrestrials' and of 'aliens', we overlook one thing. Scientists have stated that Mars could have once held life, and if this is true then is it then possible that it did once hold life-forms very much like the Earth? Perhaps we here on this Earth are the last form of life in what was once a living Solar System where life on other planets was destroyed by the very same forces that today are destroying our Folk and our Mother Earth. Maybe this is going too far, but if it is true then we do have a great problem ahead of us - and a great struggle to right this great wrong.

Black Sun Crop Circle - England

Redbad the Frisian

As Folkish Wodenists we are Folkish Heathens and even though we recognise the archetype of an Aryan Krist we are most definitely not Christian in any sense whatever. The Christian Church ruthlessly suppressed our old Heathen Lore, destroyed our Sacred Stone Circles, cut down the Sacred Groves and Sacred Trees, and tortured and murdered anyone who did not convert to their faith. So why would we wish to be called 'Christian'? Christianity was a product of Judaism, carefully adapted and twisted to suit the needs of Saul (St.Paul) to destroy the old Roman Empire, and then be forced upon the peoples of Europe, and then elsewhere when this part had been achieved. 

To an extent the Roman Empire suited the needs of the early Judaeo-Christians since it could be used to spread their poison across the Roman world. As this empire collapsed there arose another power in Europe that would be used to spread the 'Religion of Evil' - the so-called 'Holy Roman Empire'. The 'Holy Roman Empire' was neither 'holy' nor 'Roman' for the driving-force was the Carolingian Franks. The unholy alliance between the Carolingian Franks and the Pope in Rome was the next stage of the cancerous spread of Judaeo-Christianity through Europe. 

We have shown before how it was quite possible, in fact most likely, that the incursions into these islands under Hengest and Horsa, Cerdic and Cynric, and the other English Tribal Chieftains were guided by the Will of Wyrd and aided by the Will of Woden. The new 'Religion of Evil' had started to take hold here in these islands through the Rome-Welsh and the Heathen English Tribes plundered, sacked and burned the new churches that were being built here in these islands. We are told that Vortigern of the Britons asked for aid from the Saxons, aid against raids from the Picts and Scots. Yet historical evidence shows us that the English allied themselves with the Picts and Scots against the Romano-Britons. An alliance of heathen-folk against the Christianised Romano-Britons! Welsh texts tell of the 'King Arthur' of the Britons raising the flag of 'The Virgin Mary' against the Heathen Hordes. 

This seems even clearer when we consider the piece in Beowulf in which Hengest is given the Sword of AEtla - Hunlafing Hildleoman - which is the 'Battle-Flame - Hun-Bequest', thus taking upon himself the Wyrd of AEtla. This is also underlined when we consider that the son of Hengest, Octa, is named after a nephew of Attila the Hun - Octha. The Geist of Ing incarnated in order to wield the Hun-Sword against the 'Religion of Evil' here in England. 

The Christian Franks started to extend their power northwards into Frisia, at the same time spreading the poison of Judaeo-Christianity into these Heathen Lands. The Frisians were led by King Redbad also spelt Redbod, Radbod or Raedbed. Redbad became ruler after he was 'sacrificed to Woden' and came back with renewed powers capable of ruling the Frisian Folk. From 690CE to 692CE Pepin of Herstal took Utrecht; he defeated Redbad in the Battle of Dorestad and the Frisians lost 'Nearer Frisia' to the Franks.

Redbad was nearly baptised in the Christian Faith but at the baptismal 'font' he was told by the Christian priest, 'Saint' Willibrond, that his father and his ancestors would not be in heaven because they were not baptised. To this he asked then why would he take up such a religion, he would rather be with his ancestors in 'hell' than in 'heaven' with his enemies. 

Pepin died in 714CE and Willibrond and his Christian Monks were forced to flee before the Heathens bent on revenge. Redbad advanced as far as Cologne where he defeated the new Frankish King, Charles Martel, in 716CE. Redbad died in 719CE and Charles Martel eventually prevailed over the Frisians. The Christians tried to write Redbad out of the history books, giving 'sainthoods' to the ruthless Christians who spread this evil through Frisia. But, Redbad lives on in legend as, together with Widukind of the Saxons and other Folk-Heroes, one of those who stood up for their own Folk against the spreading evil. 

Redbad is remembered in a Dutch Film of 2018 called Redbad which appears on 'Now TV' as the Rise of the Vikings. This film portrays the Carolingian Franks and the Christian Priests as ruthless tyrants hell bent upon power at all costs, no matter how much the people suffered, not to mention the destruction of Nature in the process. In Harry Harrison's The Hammer and the Cross Redbad is the founder of The Way which is a Heathen Cult created to combat the Christian missionaries. 

Under the famous Carolingian Frankish King, Charlemagne, 55,000 Saxon Nobles were murdered for refusing to 'convert' to the 'New Faith'. Evidence of the Danes building a walled defence in the North suggests that the Christian Franks were about to invade Scandinavia to 'convert' the Northern Folk. This seems to be the reason why thousands of Vikings and Norsemen poured out of the North to invade England, because the now Christian English supported the Franks. The Norsemen got as far as Paris and invaded Normandy, strikes against this powerful Christian enemy. 

In the TV series The Vikings we find Ragnar Lodbrok guided by Odin to cross the Northern Seas to England where he died an honourable death at the hands of Christian King AElla, a death that ensured him not only a place in Valhalla, but also the role of leading the Einheriar out of Valhalla at Ragnarok. Because we are English Heathens does not mean that we support the English Christian Kings against our Heathen Folk of the North. The Danes, Norwegians and Swedes make up as much a part of the English Folk as the 'Anglo-Saxons'. The English are the Ingwaeones - 'Friends of Ingwe' - as are various other Northern Peoples.

The Danish thorpe, thwaite, toft etc. stand side by side with the Old English ton, wic, ham as place-names here in this land. The Seven Tribes of Ing came together here in this land through the Will of Wyrd. Today the Judaeo-Christian faith is crumbling and the Old Gods are rising from the ashes of their destruction at the hands of this alien religion. With the waning of this 'arm' of the Dark Lord there arises a new and just as ruthless religion from the same roots - Islam. Here we have yet another faith that 'converts' threatening torture and death upon any disbeliever. The old Christian Priests are so weak and pathetic that they fear offending the new power and grovel on their hands and knees before the coming onslaught. 

At such a crucial time such figures as Redbad, Widukind and Robin Hood come to the fore again, as Archetypal Folk-Heroes who arose at a time when the Freedom of their folk was threatened. We can now add Boudicca of the Iceni and King Penda of Mercia who stood against an oppressive regime that tried to take their freedom. And the South Saxons who were the last Heathen Folk to stand up against the new religion here in England. 

The Ambrones

The Ambrones were part of a Germanic tribal alliance of Cimbri, Teutons and Ambrones that, according to Greek and Roman sources, migrated to the south-east before 100 BCE. Their original homeland could have been an area known as Amrun/Oomrang which was in the North Frisian Islands on the German North Sea. The Old English work Widsith mentions them as the Ymbre ruled over by Sceafhere, which would make them of the Ingwaeones having the same Divine Ancestor - Ingwe - as the English Tribes. 

• Ambrones,
• Ambri,
• Ymbre,
• Umbrians,
• Sigambrians (Sig-Ambrians).
• Ligurians.

The Ligurians are mentioned here because when the Ambrones moved through Gaul towards Rome, and with the Cimbri and Teutons attacked the Romans, these two peoples recognised each other as close kin. The Ligurians were tribal members in the Roman Legions. The name 'Ligurians' may well answer one of the problems we have here over the pre-Roman Germanic Tribes here in these islands. 

We find areas such a 'Northumbria' (North-Umbria) or 'Northumberland' (North -Umberland' without these being explained by historians. There is also the area known as the 'Humber' and also 'Humberstone' in Leicester. The German himbra means 'farmer' if this has any significance. The name that the Welsh gave to what is now England is Lloegres, and the people Lloegrians, which is very close to Ligurians. This would explain why a Welsh text exclaims that the Lloegrians and the Coriniad fought with the invading Anglo-Saxons against the Britons. The Coriniad are the Coritani whose capital was Leicester, they were said in the Mabinogian to be a Germanic Tribe. 

Tacitus mentions a tribal alliance called the 'Lugia', and the 'Lugs' were thought to have been Vandals. The Irish 'Lugh' may well be the origin of this tribe, and whether they were akin to the Ligurians we do not know. On the subject of the famous Germanic Tribe called the Vandals they were led by a pair of 'twins' called Ambri and Assi - coincidence? One account tells that Ambri and Sigambri encountered Alexandra the Great in Bactria, but I cannot confirm this I am afraid. 

Cumbria has always been seen as relating to the 'Cymru', the Welsh, but the Cimbri would be nearer to this name, although Wales was once called 'Cambria', although again this is not the same as 'Cymru'. The Cymru were said to have come from the 'Summerlands', thought to be around the Crimean area, so they may well have brought back with them some 'foreign' influences. In the Old Testament they may have been the 'House of Omri' (Bit Khymru in Assyrian) which ruled over Israel, perhaps explaining the Red Dragon found under a synagogue there. We should note that 'Cumbria' is a later name for 'Cumberland', which could have been 'Humberland'. 

There is an area of Denmark called Himmerland which may be derived from the same roots as 'Humber', and there the Gundestrup Cauldron was found; Strabo described such a sacrificial cauldron of the Cimbri who were linked to the Ambrones. What we have to remember is that Roman and Celtic influence on the Germanic Tongue has made it possible to interchange the letters 'h' and 'c', as well as other sounds, so 'Cimbri' and '(H)Ambri' may well have been once one and the same. We have the two sounds 'Sigambri' and 'Sicambri' too, so the 'g' and 'c' cane be interchanged. This letter-change occurred with the 'Gangani' who became the 'Concani' when they moved from Ireland to Wales. 

The Sigambrian Franks were ruled by the Merovingian Kings who, we have shown before, seem to have been the famous Wolsunga Tribe of Germania. On the banks of the River Morava in Bohemia were found dozens of burial mounds, one with a set of Golden Bees, reminiscent of the 'bees' associated with the Merovingian Kings. The 'Fleur-de-lys' has been seen as a 'bee' by some scholars. Of interest here is a Cimbric King called Boiorix which is said to be 'Celtic' but the '-rix' is from Gaul and the name means 'Ruler of the Boio' who were later 'Bohemians'. The name has been picked up when the Cimbri moved southwards through Gaul into Italy. The Aduaticii, a Belgic Tribe, were said to have been of Cimbric origins. 

The Ambiani occupied an area of Belgica in Northern Gaul, but they also occupied an area here in Britain. They were obviously of the confederation known as the Belgae. Julius Caesar tells us -

'The inland part of Britain is inhabited by tribes declared in their own tradition to be indigenous to the island, the maritime part by tribes that migrated at an earlier time from Belgica to seek booty by invasion...nearly all these maritime tribes are called by the names of the lands from which they immigrated when they came to Britain. After their arrival they remained there and began to till the soil.'

De Bello Gallic 5:12.

Assuming that 'Belgica' was Gaul, and thus 'Celtic' this is where the 'Celtic Invasion' idea stems from. These, we now know, to be predominately Germanic Tribes. Cassius Dio says -

'The Belgae, who dwelt near the Rhine in many mixed tribes and extended even to the coast opposite Britain...'

The similarity between the name 'Ambrones' and 'Amber' should not be overlooked, even when this has not been considered by historians. This may be a 'coincidence' but we should not rule out a link between the two. 

The Belgae seem to be the 'missing link' when it comes to the presence of Germanic Tribes here in England before the Romans arrived, and that they were Woden-Born seems more than likely now. Typical of the language of these Belgic Tribes is the 'nn' found in the Goddess Arduinna, most likely cognate to the Norse Idunn. She is a Huntress, bearing a bow and riding a Boar, and her presence here in England can be seen in the Forest of Arden in Warwickshire. In fact William Shakepeare's mother's maiden name was 'Arden', an ancient Warwickshire surname.

On the subject of the Sigambrian Franks their descent from Merovee, Meroveus  or Merovich suggests a link to the River Morava in Bohemia. That they were ruled by the Wolsunga Royal Line seems likely through their King Dagobert who was lanced through the eye by his godson in the Forest of Woevres; the Royal Merovingian residence was at Stenay. 'Woevres' is a name linked to the snake or serpent, most likely the 'viper' or 'adder'; it may also be linked to the term 'wyvern'; the Old French wivre means 'viper'. Dagobert was murdered in a hunting incident on December 23rd 679 near Steney-sur-Meuse in the Ardennes, named after Arduinna. He was the son of Sigibert III; the term 'Sigi' may be linked to the sire of the Wolsungas. 

Boudicca and the Iceni

This post is about the Iceni of Norfolk and the famous Boudicca of legend, the warrior-queen who challenged the might of the Romans. There is still a great deal of controversy over whether the Iceni were Celtic, since new ideas have arisen that regard them as Germanic. It does appear that they had very close links to the Belgic Tribes of Belgica-Northern Gaul. a fact borne out by the find of the Fakenham Hoard in 2015. 

The problem here is compounded when we study the figure of Boudicca whose legend comes down to us through Tacitus and Dio Cassius, the latter over one hundred years after the events. The name 'Boudicca' is said to stem from the Welsh Buddug meaning 'victory' but in researching this it seems that this could have been a Victorian fantasy in honour of 'Queen Victoria' who had the same title - or so it seems. The Welsh name 'Buddug' is pronounced 'Bithig', nothing like Boudicca. Dio Cassius uses the name 'Buduica' (*) and the later 'Boudicea' seems to be a corruption. She is described as having 'red hair' when in fact the Greco-Roman word translates as 'yellowish', i.e. blonde. The two accounts have fanciful 'speeches' attributed to her, both with nothing in common with the other. And why was a 'Goddess of Victory' called by the name Andraste which supposedly means 'Victory', but in what tongue? 

(*) Buduica, which would have been spelled Budvica by the Romans can be found in Lusitania, now the area of Portugal, where three inscriptions of BODVICA have been found. If so Dio Cassius may well have come across this name and thus linked the two together for some reason. 

Even today the Welsh have claimed Boudicca as one of their own, and yet not one mention of her appears in any of the Welsh annals, the Historia Brittonum, Mabinogian or History of the Kings of Britain. Surely, if she were a Celtic Queen of Welsh origins she would have had some kind of mention in their own historical works? 

The key seems to be the link with the Belgae, many of whose tribes were Germanic. The Fakenham Hoard were a mixture of local work with half coming from 'Belgic Gaul' through minting by the Ambiani who were of the Belgae, thought to have originated in Germania. The hoard is actually termed the "Wolf Hoard" due to the recurrent images of the wolf on the coins. Can we really see the fact that the Wolf Totem of the 'later' Wuffingas was the very same image used by earlier tribes in the very same area? 

The name ECENI or ECEN appears upon coins of the Iceni, and appears to mean 'Oaks'; since Norfolk is a region well known for its oaks this is not surprising. If so the name is Germanic -

ec/ac = oak

ecen = oaks

One of the rulers of the Iceni was Ecen(os) who reigned from 10 - 43 CE; his name means 'oak' or perhaps 'strength' or 'mighty' which derives from this word as an image. 

Some see these names as referring to the 'horse' (equine) since the coins bear the images of the Solar-Horse. However, many coins minted in North-West Europe at this time were based upon those of Philip of Macedonia which bore the horse too. And we have the name 'Icknield Way' which is one of the Royal Roads of Britain and which was originally Icenhilde Weg in Old English, the word icen  (ecen) being 'oaks', widened to 'strength' or 'mighty', and hilde being the Old English 'battle'. We may even have the clue to where the last battle fought by Boudicca was fought, since this name may be related to this through 'oak' and 'battle'. There was a large wooded area behind the Eceni Warriors. If so then 'Ecen' would refer to the Iceni! This is even more pronounced when we consider that the Germanic name 'Hilde' is female which could hint at the Warrior-Queen herself. Icen-hilde would thus mean 'Iceni Battle-Maiden'. 

However, since we find the Sutton Hoo grave of a horse-warrior then we cannot altogether rule out the horse as being important not only to the Wuffingas, but also to the Iceni, whom they may well have taken rulership over as an elite after the Roman power was gone. Certainly the Solar Wheel and the Swastika were used on the coins together with the Solar-Horse; there is also the 'Eye of Woden' on some of the coins, and the links to the coins of another Germano-Belgic Tribe, the Suessiones, which bears the image of Woden being swallowed by the Fenris Wolf. 

There is a Germanic Root *bheudh which means 'to make aware' and is no doubt the equivalent of the root-name for 'Buddha' which means 'The Awakened One'. From the Germanic Root *bheudh- we get the English beoden meaning 'to proclaim' and bodian meaning 'to announce'. It is thus not out of the question that the name 'Boudicca' is Germanic in origin. The Welsh Buddug is the closest in spelling but not in sound. One fanciful rendering of the name is 'Bowed-Wicca' but this falls down in that 'wicca' is the male version whilst the female is 'wicce'. 

The Goths

The Goths seem to have been perhaps the most ancient of Germanic Peoples, even though they seem to have faded out of the history books whereas other Germanic Tribes are still remembered. Like the Saxons we find various ancient tribes with names that appear to be the same or so similar as to suggest a close kinship. What suggests something very powerful about the Goths is their name, which suggests 'God' (Gott) or 'Good', meaning 'The Folk of God' or 'The Good Folk'. The Goths are also named after Gaut which is a name of Woden; this is often seen to have roots in 'to pour' (as in an offering) but seems to have meant something different originally. The following are ancient peoples whose name may be related to the Goths -

The Getae.

The Massagetae - 'Great Getae'. Thyssagetae - 'Little Getae'.

The Geats.

The Jutes.

The Gotar.

The Gautar.

The Jats/Jits - The Masagetae were also called 'Great Jats' or 'Great Jits'. The Jats were closely allied to the Sacae (Saxons). The Encyclopaedia Britannica says that the Jats were identified with the Getae of Herodotus. The Collins Encyclopaedia says that the Jats descended from the Saka or Scythians, and moved into India between the Second Century BCE and 5th Century CE. 

I am going to look here at the Jats who moved into India; could these have been of the same peoples as the Jutes, and thus the Goths? Colonel Sleeman, an Indian Political Officer, wrote to Dalip Singh, a Jat and last king of the Sikh Kingdom - "I see you are going to live in Kent. You will be among your own people there, for you are a Jat and the men of Kent are Jutes from Jutland." He also wrote - "The Jat Sikhs mighty & curled of beard, kin perhaps to the men of Kent, the Jutes of Jutland." 

It is also strange how the name of a section of the Jats were called Asiaghgotra (Asiagh-Gotra) where 'asiagh' means 'sword', thus, like the Saxons these people being 'People of the Sword'. We should also recall the name 'Gauthama' which is that of the original Buddha, who was 'Sage of the Sakyas', a name too close to 'Saxons' to be a coincidence. We have seen how the Jats were closely allied to the Sacae. 

History shows us on so many occasions how Germanic Tribes of very close kinship tend to move together in a certain area at a certain time, and this is repeated in other areas at very different times. We can perhaps trace the roots of these various Germanic Tribes back to the time of At-al-land; after this land partially sank in a great cataclysm these peoples would have moved into various different areas of the world, especially if the lands of the North were enveloped in ice-sheets. These were the Folk-Wanderings mentioned by various historians; it is certain that many of these peoples who remained in a purer state moved back into Northern Europe in later times. 

We need to consider that the word-sounds we use today may not be quite as they were in ancient times, and so names which appear to be totally different may have been much nearer to each other then. The term 'Jute' we say with a 'hard j' as in 'jut'; but we also today say 'Jesus' with the same sound, and yet this was also spelled 'Iesus' with a different sound. Again, there is a Gotaland in Sweden which is sounded Yotaland which again shows sound-differences between different tribes and nations. 

Of course, the word Joten or Jotun could also be seen in this light, and maybe we should include this in the argument here. We must recall that there were 'Light Joten' and 'Dark Joten' and there was a great difference between these two groups of 'Giants'. We have shown before how some scholars have mixed up the 'Jutes' with the 'Eoten' in Beowulf. 

In the last article about Hengest we saw how he was associated with a famous sword, the Sword of AEtla, and we should thus recognise the significance of this in regard to the Goths -

Hengest of the Jutes (or Saxons) - Sword.

The Saxons - Sons of the Sword.

The Jats - 'Sword-Goths'. (Reflected today in the fact that the Sikhs wear a ceremonial sword.)

If we are to believe the usual rendering of the runic letters 'Iggws of the Goths' then the Goths were Ingwaiones - 'Friends of Ing'. Ing is often seen as a 'Sword-God' and Ingui-Frey certainly had a famous sword which he gave away in his wooing of Gerda. 

Our word 'god' seems to stem from a Proto-Germanic *guthan and PIE *ghut meaning 'that which is invoked'; also a Root *gheu meaning 'to call' or 'to invoke'. There are also links to various word-roots meaning 'to pour' as in an offering. The Langobards called Woden Godan or Guodan, although the 'g' may originally have been silent. 

Added June 19th after a piece sent to me by CE Reed -

There is also another people linked to the Goths whose name is usually Gutians; the name seems to stem from a root meaning 'warrior'. The list below of tribes with similar names is an updated version -

Gut/Got

Jats

Jutes

Gaetones/Gaettones

Gutians

Guti/Kuti

Khatti/Khat-ti/Khad-ti/Chatti/Catti/Kud-ti/Hatti/Hittites

"The blonde race of the Guti' we are told, also linked to the Amorites (Mor/Mur). The Gutians overthrew the Semitic Akkadians in Sumeria and were responsible for the regeneration of Sumeria. Gudea (2142 - 2122 BCE) ruled Ur on behalf of the Gutian Kings. The language of the Gutians seems to have been akin to Tocharian. It is interesting to note that the Tocharians also seem to have called themselves the Tugri which is close to the original name of the Germans - Tungri. The Tugri lived near to the borders of China. 

Of interest to us is the name of the last Gutian King (or thought to be Gutian by the name he has) which was Tirigan. This is, in fact, linked to the Tir Rune as Waddell pointed out. The word 'Tir' in Old Persian means 'arrow' and this is exactly how the Tir-Rune is shaped, a spear or arrow.
