William Butler Yeats écrivit son plus célèbre poème, « La Seconde Venue », en 1919, à l’époque de la Grande Guerre et de la Révolution bolchevique, quand les choses étaient vraiment en train de « se disloquer », en premier lieu la civilisation européenne. Le titre fait bien sûr allusion à la Seconde Venue du Christ. Mais tel que je le lis, le poème rejette l’idée que la Seconde Venue littérale du Christ soit proche. (more…)

Collin Cleary
Wagner’s Ring and the Germanic Tradition
Wagnerphile Books, 2021

Richard Wagner is a cornerstone of Western culture. He is one of the few composers that still receive mainstream attention in the 21st century, but usually for negative reasons. Hacks can’t resist the temptation to bash him for his alleged proto-Nazism and anti-Semitism. Even if critics see him as a predecessor to Hitler, many of them still enjoy his music. Few doubt he was a great musician. (more…)

Many people today would describe themselves as being more spiritual than religious. Despite being baptized in two Christian churches, I consider myself a spiritual person of folkish, ancestral faith. Regardless of religion, ethnic nationalists and white advocates stand in opposition to the all-encompassing theocracy of anti-white liberalism. Due to our beliefs, we are modern-day heretics. From classical antiquity to the Modern era, heretics and dissidents have been persecuted in a similar pattern. Nevertheless, I believe that faith can help us overcome the persecution that white people face in Western societies.  (more…)

Yule is the midwinter festival celebrated by my ancestors and by Germanic neo-pagans today. Midwinter is a time when much of nature seems to die or to depart. The trees are stripped of their leaves. The birds abandon us, flying off to warmer climes. Bears, badgers, chipmunks, and squirrels hibernate. Water freezes over. The earth is covered in ice and snow, so that nothing can grow. The air is so chilled that when we are out in it for too long, death becomes something tangible, and we rush inside.  (more…)

The move is clearly directed at the Nordic Resistance Movement, which uses a tiwaz rune as its logo, and other White Nationalists. (more…)

But Sigmund and Sinfjotli drive him out, and Sigmund becomes a great and powerful king, “both wise and well-advised.”[1] He decides to marry a woman named Borghild, and they have two sons together, Helgi and Hamund.

A cause des réponses positives – online tout comme offline – à ma première série de notes, j’ai décidé de continuer les séries jusqu’à ce que j’aie terminé Moïse l’Egyptien. Ensuite nous discuterons les livres ultérieurs d’Assmann : The Price of Monotheism, Of God and Gods: Egypt, Israel, and the Rise of Monotheism, Religio Duplex: How the Enlightenment Reinvented Egyptian Religion, et le livre à paraître From Akhenaten to Moses: Ancient Egypt and Religious Change. J’ai décidé de nommer ce projet le Assmann Seminar, bien que dans le futur j’étendrais peut-être cette étude pour traiter d’autres auteurs liés à ce sujet.

Collin Cleary
What is a Rune? and Other Essays
San Francisco: Counter-Currents Publishing, 2015

As a lifetime “non-believer” who has been delving into Germanic heathen worldviews and traditions for the past year or so, Collin Cleary’s What is a Rune? pulled a few ideas together for me at the right time, introduced some evocative concepts that I’d like to revisit in visual art, and inspired some new questions.

Peter Shaffer’s 1973 play, Equus, is arguably the most pagan work of art created in the 20th century.

Hypatiin život sa kryje so zničením starovekého pohanstva kresťanstvom, takže jej vražda symbolizuje smrť celej civilizácie.

Luc Olivier Merson, Descanso en el viaje a Egipto, 1879

William Butler Yeats escribió su famoso poema, “La Segunda Venida”, en 1919, al mismo tiempo que ocurría la Gran Guerra y la Revolución Bolchevique, cuando las cosas realmente estaban “derrumbándose”,  principalmente la civilización Europea. El título refiere, por supuesto, a la segunda llegada, segundo advenimiento, o segunda venida de Cristo. Pero a medida que la leo, el poema rechaza la idea de tal acontecimiento de forma literal. En su lugar, afirma dos sentidos no-cristianos de la segunda venida. Primero, hay un sentido metafórico del fin del presente mundo y la revelación de algo radicalmente nuevo. Segundo, hay un sentido de una segunda venida pero no de Cristo, sino del paganismo desplazado por el cristianismo. (more…)

Luc Olivier Merson, Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1879

Translations: German, Spanish, French

William Butler Yeats penned his most famous poem, “The Second Coming,” in 1919, in the days of the Great War and the Bolshevik Revolution, when things truly were “falling apart,” European civilization chief among them. The title refers, of course, to the Second Coming of Christ. But as I read it, the poem rejects the idea that the literal Second Coming of Christ is at hand. Instead, it affirms two non-Christian senses of Second Coming. First, there is the metaphorical sense of the end of the present world and the revelation of something radically new. Second, there is the sense of the Second Coming not of Christ, but of the paganism displaced by Christianity. (more…)

Gustave Moreau, Prometheus

Prometheus is, probably, one of the most enduring characters in universal mythology and, in addition, one of the most frequent subjects of artistic, literary, or philosophical interpretation. Aeschylus’ version, Prometheus Bound, has generated different symbolic interpretations across the centuries. Starting with the Renaissance, Prometheus has been seen as a symbol of consciousness struggling against arbitrary power.[1]

This was captured in essence by Goethe, circa 1771, who presented the image of the Promethean Man who, decades later, Friedrich Nietzsche would write about in his Birth of Tragedy. (more…)

The Way of Men

1. The Way of Men is the Way of the Gang

How do you define masculinity? If you listen to today’s feminist-approved “authorities” on the subject you will be told either that masculinity means nothing at all — that it is “constructed” differently from place to place or time to time — or you will be told that masculinity is now being “redefined.” (more…)

Le problème avec nos païens occidentaux modernes, c’est qu’ils ne croient pas vraiment en leurs dieux, ils croient seulement croire en eux.

Pagan Christmas: The Plants, Spirits, and Rituals at the Origins of Yuletide

Christmas—or Yule, to use the name originally given to this sacred time by our pre-Christian ancestors—is one of those times when I am particularly reminded of how much who we were still strongly influences who we are. (more…)

The moral dogma that has infected European Civilization since its beginning is a Judaic DUALISM inherited from Zoroastrianism and brought in by Christianity. Dualism states that there is a battle being fought in both the spiritual and earthly realms (and even within every individual) between two opposites, “good and evil.” Not only has this Dualism subverted our culture, it has turned the individual into a split personality: this is the result of repressing what is considered “evil” about one’s nature by moral and religious dogmas.  (more…)

1. Introduction

Le livre d’Alain de Benoist Comment peut-on être païen ?[1], comme son titre le suggère, est un appel pour un retour au paganisme. Beaucoup plus exactement, c’est un appel pour un nouveau paganisme. « Paganisme » est un terme inventé par les chrétiens pour désigner les  religions qu’ils souhaitaient supplanter. Le « néo-paganisme » est la tentative pour revenir à ces religions préchrétiennes indigènes. (more…)

« La manière générale imprécise d’observer voit partout dans la nature des opposés là où il y a non des opposés, mais des différences de degré. Cette mauvaise habitude nous a conduits à vouloir comprendre et analyser le monde intérieur, aussi, le monde moral-spirituel, en ces  termes d’opposition. Une quantité indicible de souffrance, d’arrogance, de dureté, de séparation, de frigidité, est entrée dans les sentiments humains parce que nous croyons voir des opposés au lieu de transitions. » – Nietzsche (more…)

John William Godward (1861–1922), "A Priestess," 1894

It is perhaps appropriate to point out the misunderstandings that are current at the moment in some radical circles, who believe that a solution lies in the direction of a new paganism. This misunderstanding is already visible in the use of terms such as “pagan” and “pagandom.” I myself, having used these expressions as slogans in a book that was published in Italy in 1928, and in Germany in 1934, have cause for sincere regrets.

Certainly the word for pagan or heathen, paganus, appears in some ancient Latin writers such as Livy without an especially negative tone. (more…)
