Musing on the superficial nature of language hits hard when you’re a suicidally in love 15-year-old. After all, “What's in a name? that which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” It loses its edge when you fathom the consequences of categories.
Professor Graham was an atheist who worshiped gods. I witnessed this contradiction because I signed up for his seminar on Evolutionary Biology. The topic held little interest for me, but it fulfilled my science credits and promoted itself as a class dedicated to the history and philosophy of science. As
The unhuman is the counter-weight to the human—and for nearly all modern men, the deficit of the former is mutating them into abominations. Today, 4 out of 5 Americans live in urban areas. In the 1970s, 1 in 20. This demographic shift, poorly studied, has been one of the
My father-in-law is dying. A massive stroke left him vegetative six months ago, and my mother-in-law lacks the resolve to pull the plug—despite his explicit and repeated wishes otherwise and the pleading of their children. Last week, he barely pulled through another health emergency. The nurses administered Somchai, my
A friend of mine (Sadnamadr) pushed back on my proposal for a Pagan-Christian alliance. Based on years of nasty experiences with online Christians, the prospect seemed impossible. “What,” he challenged, “would an Pagan-Christian alliance look like?” My answer: Donald Trump. The Donald is by no means perfect. I dislike his
“If you could be born at any other time in history,” the interviewer asked, “when would it be?” The SEAL’s response: “Vietnam—so I could run boat operations as a frogman.” The SEAL, Jocko Willink, wasn’t speaking as a wet-eared boy dazzled with the fantasies of war. He
I have a very, very disgusting thing to admit: I watched the Triggernometry podcast. In my defense, it was only once and because, during a moment of weakness, I saw Dana White, the head of the UFC, was on and figured it would be interesting. Turns out, it was interesting,
Paganism is not a panacea. America will not be saved if we all started worshiping Thor or Lugh. The people who worshiped those gods were conquered and converted, induced by noble examples, the threat of death, or at the behest of their lord.
The perfected, swaggering bronze of Hercules was degenerate. So too were the other wax-cast gods and heroes from Classical Greece—a puritan’s grab at unalloyed beauty that presaged their downfall. What has survived, however, is sublime and offers among the purest aesthetics available today.
The feminists were right. At least partially. And that is that the quaint, quiet, obedient Mother Mary ideal of womanhood is oppressive, unnatural, and unsuitable for the Celtic woman & culture. This ideal, sincerely pursued, will lead to ruin.
Don't squander your time whinging online and mistaking throwing tantrums for affecting actual political change. Composed, calculated, and pragmatic strategy & execution is what makes the world move.
Celtic pagans yearn for a return to a magical life, yet so many feel stymied in their attempts at reclaiming it. I'll cover how you can actually make that happen.
I initially had a post scheduled that would add to my theology section, but it is out of place in light of the recent assassination. No one wants to read a chapter about “Getting That Magic Back” in the wake of what will likely become a an inflection point. Don’
Through the examination of the long-lost (and very made-up) cult of the feces-throwing chimp, you'll better understand how religions really operate without the fog of ideology.
See the world anew, cast aside your ideas, and recognize the naked, ineffable beauty of where you are.
Have you ever considered worshiping a carrot? If yes, then don't read this because you're not right in the head. If no, then you should be worshiping your ancestors. Read on to learn more about not worshiping carrots.
Great groups—not great men—win. In 2023, Jimmy Kolb broke the bench press world record by 23 kg. He raised the record to its current standing of 635 kg. That is some out-of-this world strength. To put into perspective just how much weight that is, it's equivalent
The three truths are a framework for seeing the world comprehensively. The first truth is as an ordered whole, governed by necessity. The second is as a work of art, governed by symbol. The third is as a perfect unity.
There is one primary god, Día, who rules supreme over all, while lesser gods compete for dominance, their struggle and cooperation a creative force that drives life onward. This is a belief with precedence within the Indo-European tradition, attested to among the Celts, Helles, and Indians.
A brief, easy-to-follow liturgy to Taranis, the Gallic god of thunder and storms.
