There were the usual dogs and wolves, as well as horses, but the feature we need to look at here is that of Law and Justice. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When there is total oppression and tyranny of a people, the law becomes an 'ass' and justice is non-existent, then such Cultic-Warrior Brotherhoods are forced to go underground and become the only means of Law and Justice in such a society, as will 'vigilante' groups arise when the police do not bring law and order onto the streets - this is an inevitable move, and only those who forsake true Law and Order that serves the people of that Folk-Nation are responsible for what happens. The link to the ancient Cultic-Warrior Brotherhoods comes from the fact that these were there to uphold the order that their ancestors first created, and they were oath-bound to do so. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Red is the colour of Justice, thus the 'Red Hound' and the 'Red Hand' (through word-play): the 'Red Cross' (equal-armed cross in circle - sun-wheel) stood over the 'Red Court', with the 'Red Staff' being the Staff of Justice and Right, and the White Staff is symbolic of Law. The 'Hand' (five fingers) wrapped around the sword-hilt is symbolic of Justice, which involves Law and Truth. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5SUMp4-oBF3JAKrlhVlDfv2t5-afo22IN81nyizsT--DA3kmbCj_XW7acEwHCeB8qkNE2Gdo1vZQSxgi9MVxXiXI4MCRoYr903QL7uYrYxR7Qt4ibnnVDjEZ4Dmf-_JhV1VkXuwOxpzWhIcx3zZivzdC9UgzZddwyQnr6m5RZpBmXevzh9qmpdxCz/s174/rune.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="174" data-original-width="115" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5SUMp4-oBF3JAKrlhVlDfv2t5-afo22IN81nyizsT--DA3kmbCj_XW7acEwHCeB8qkNE2Gdo1vZQSxgi9MVxXiXI4MCRoYr903QL7uYrYxR7Qt4ibnnVDjEZ4Dmf-_JhV1VkXuwOxpzWhIcx3zZivzdC9UgzZddwyQnr6m5RZpBmXevzh9qmpdxCz/s1600/rune.png" width="115" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Rad-Rune contains the above mysteries -</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Red,</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rad - Wheel,</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rita - Right Order, Right, Ritual,</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rod - Rod of Justice,</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rood - Gallows of Justice = The 'Wolf-Tree',</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Primal Laws of Nature are the Divine Law of Primaeval Evolution; the law and justice must serve the people, and laws that do not do so are irrelevant. When tyranny and oppression take over, and there is no justice, then the Outlaw takes his place in history, and it is the duty and responsibility of the Cultic-Warrior Band to fight such tyranny and oppression and bring Law and Justice to the Folk. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The role of the <i>Shadow-Warrior </i>is important in these times, since some form of secrecy and 'working in the shadows' is necessary. The Cultic-Warriors hunted in the night with nets and clubs, whereas the tribal hunting took place in the day with the spear or bow and arrow. This also applied to war, when the war-bands would fight in the darkness of night. In Japan the role of the <i>Ninja </i>was similar, and these Shadow-Warriors arose when the Samurai became a state-instrument against the people. Hence the black-clad <i>Ninja </i>fought in the shadows and in the dark as the 'Invisible Warrior'. The <i>Sceadu-Beorn </i>('Shadow-Warrior') had the same role in Germania, hence the black garb and the black flag, as well as their weapons being blackened. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pestilence - wars and rumours of wars - famine! The first two of these we have had, the last we keep hearing threats of - food shortages. The constant barrage of propaganda about 'food shortages' will become the greatest problem here, since after a time people tend to ignore this, since it has not happened. The world-wide policies on food and the deliberate destruction of farming can only lead to world-wide food shortages and thus to famine on a grand scale. The signs are that this could happen in the near future - maybe in three years time (2026). Famine will be the problem, but the total breakdown of law and order when people fight each other for food and their survival will prove even more testing. Time is short, and the need to recreate the Cultic-Warrior Order is even more important.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418446140403245524.post-58210898297312721022023-02-28T06:46:00.000-08:002023-02-28T06:46:42.772-08:00The Germanic Mannerbund - Part Six<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiSs2t1_ttJL0X1kmiClP0yVOIcK0mnUPWGid_gHY1WMbNWaIpYpH8xej1p9prZbQVuJ8FGvlqWKGE2mKQTNpKOS9uE2X-kdfTDuXbrweVFmMc2ARjerkKRXtl954PxD-HUauDvWB4PuTrVi51fa7Ol-CeR3U2RbQlLBV6BT6ExvHdhA7aIsgUCUYt/s450/WoW%20Patch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="450" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiSs2t1_ttJL0X1kmiClP0yVOIcK0mnUPWGid_gHY1WMbNWaIpYpH8xej1p9prZbQVuJ8FGvlqWKGE2mKQTNpKOS9uE2X-kdfTDuXbrweVFmMc2ARjerkKRXtl954PxD-HUauDvWB4PuTrVi51fa7Ol-CeR3U2RbQlLBV6BT6ExvHdhA7aIsgUCUYt/w200-h198/WoW%20Patch.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRv9DnQeFFo8Q-ELPRciPhSFYiuPyOCtfj1l-8JaPKcPMRla6tBonNHLFnkVL1ms3TDZXDKoCJ-aqbTvzMbJ91k-4ACZNWE8oumyl5eIqDWeEqFlWj4jLCSGXmFC_V20KgD9S1MITS6Aoenf5MKJdXwT2qT3HY6x94NCFd5k7swUjjmzDRFNPF5q4/s820/Withstandan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="820" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRv9DnQeFFo8Q-ELPRciPhSFYiuPyOCtfj1l-8JaPKcPMRla6tBonNHLFnkVL1ms3TDZXDKoCJ-aqbTvzMbJ91k-4ACZNWE8oumyl5eIqDWeEqFlWj4jLCSGXmFC_V20KgD9S1MITS6Aoenf5MKJdXwT2qT3HY6x94NCFd5k7swUjjmzDRFNPF5q4/s320/Withstandan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the prime symbols of the Cultic-Warrior Brotherhood is the Death's Head, since they are an 'Army of the Dead'. In regard to cult it is thus essential to honour the Forefathers (our own ancestors as individuals) and the Ancestral Heroes (those who have been in this glorious struggle and have since passed on). It is usual to honour the Forefathers at Yuletide, but this is also one of the foremost times to honour the Ancestral Heroes too. The period of October 31st (All-Hallow's Eve - Halloween) through November 5th (Fire-Festival to Ingwe) to November 9th-11th is dedicated to the Ancestral Heroes, and also to the Forefathers. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is where those who are involved in Heathen work and have not taken up this struggle (and there are many of these) will not be able to recreate such Cultic-Warrior Brotherhoods, since they will have no Ancestral Heroes to honour, and although we should honour the 'Mythical Heroes' (of myth and legend) this can in no way be the same as honouring those who have taken up the Sacred Blood Struggle in our own times. This goes for those who cannot recognise the true nature of this struggle, and how the Folkish Movement arose to hold back the Dark Forces at the 'turn of the Great Year'. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmSOTAMkFoiY3KNAWNaD8HUY8JlyJlLJe0QtW4PPcKkHGeVrJKtifPqME6KRBDREtnh6iHbehyVL-ewIiCAd0ewq7m2CKSQuxjz5UPnQu5OdlwGlCLyaOoH57cbYIG5CVCYaMFlsUbFctmRDwlFnNGDLqdv2x1wVx_a9TcxMV-CRqSRbxjkzyA-SA/s516/DeathsHead3.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="512" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmSOTAMkFoiY3KNAWNaD8HUY8JlyJlLJe0QtW4PPcKkHGeVrJKtifPqME6KRBDREtnh6iHbehyVL-ewIiCAd0ewq7m2CKSQuxjz5UPnQu5OdlwGlCLyaOoH57cbYIG5CVCYaMFlsUbFctmRDwlFnNGDLqdv2x1wVx_a9TcxMV-CRqSRbxjkzyA-SA/w199-h200/DeathsHead3.bmp" width="199" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Those who are now dead and gone, but who were involved in the Sacred Blood Struggle are still with us in spirit, and we should honour them and invoke them to stand with us in the Last Battle. This can be done (as we have done in the past) through the 'Roll-Call' when each Fallen Hero is named by the Ancestral Call, and those who partake in the Sacred Rite call - 'Here!'. Thus, the Spirit of the Dead Heroes are invoked to be present with those who take part in the rite, and more importantly, and involved in the struggle for freedom. In the Woden Folk-Community this is the role of Woden's Folk as the Esoteric Order. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The <i>Way of the Gods </i>is the period between the Winter Sunstead and the Summer Sunstead, whilst the <i>Way of the Ancestors </i>is the period between the Summer Sunstead and the Winter Sunstead.

For the whole of this period of the year (the Dark Time) the Forefathers and Ancestors should be honoured, though the emphasis is usually from the Winter Evennight to the Winter Sunstead. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHO31tU_6XqjCZ6WWjX2jpeikpgxSmJLZTIDArRec22k8cFb_TMpCPXZzZSZwMyeLfAigjiF_zUMCLpti5uch8OtyrFl5augshkv2at2W0X4DWMXOCU-HykibQjLhnbywl8-l9QDUIdzsNXTDzPX2YIDVNCSBa8VySrGZPZxSNShwQKurbZ3MHILQe/s142/Toten12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="142" data-original-width="133" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHO31tU_6XqjCZ6WWjX2jpeikpgxSmJLZTIDArRec22k8cFb_TMpCPXZzZSZwMyeLfAigjiF_zUMCLpti5uch8OtyrFl5augshkv2at2W0X4DWMXOCU-HykibQjLhnbywl8-l9QDUIdzsNXTDzPX2YIDVNCSBa8VySrGZPZxSNShwQKurbZ3MHILQe/w187-h200/Toten12.jpg" width="187" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The colours of the Cultic-Warrior Brotherhood has always been associated with Black, and sometimes the Red (of youth and war).

These could also be the Sacred Cord worn around the waist. </span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418446140403245524.post-74865869662713062752023-02-23T10:44:00.000-08:002023-02-23T10:44:01.096-08:00The Germanic Mannerbunde - Part Five<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivof1TE5zaxlYJ0rWVfuVQJh3bDboqeZT993yvuCWAv9VDKUfD0ymNdB81QgDBLmKQTH8cAXm8OcMt4ivKw1TGHdYg5IHsVsOK5IM8MRX-suBLlO2eWHF36qpK1qWXG9FQi7M7iR01elXisbDEuvlXc-yvFC3-5ZlmLiasrh5jOMV4di5Lwn6SVQOj/s140/Ar-Kan%20Form.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="24" data-original-width="140" height="69" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivof1TE5zaxlYJ0rWVfuVQJh3bDboqeZT993yvuCWAv9VDKUfD0ymNdB81QgDBLmKQTH8cAXm8OcMt4ivKw1TGHdYg5IHsVsOK5IM8MRX-suBLlO2eWHF36qpK1qWXG9FQi7M7iR01elXisbDEuvlXc-yvFC3-5ZlmLiasrh5jOMV4di5Lwn6SVQOj/w400-h69/Ar-Kan%20Form.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In these Cultic Warrior Brotherhoods we find the use of Ritual Dances, weapon-dances undertaken by the cultic-warriors led by a <i>Fuhrer</i> who represents Woden as the Leader of the Bund. We find such dances still alive today (just) in various parts of England, though some of the more martial forms have been watered down into 'Morris Dancing', though the staffs/clubs are still present. However, the meaning is lost and the energy and ecstatic power has been lost with it. It would be very difficult to get young people involved in this today, for obvious reasons.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However, there is a method that can be used to achieve the same ends - Kata or Form. Using the Japanese term to make it clear, and with the English 'form' with it to try to bring this into an English context, kata is a form of Martial Dance, and it can also be used with weapons. Kata is in essence a means to learn basic warrior-moves, fusing a number of moves into a full 'Form'. Some martial artists have dropped the idea of forms, but there is a very ancient meaning to these, and one that is important to a Warrior Cult. There are many uses for this -</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">This can be used as an individual training or group-training.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best forms would be simple and easy to understand, and easy to learn, thus having only a few moves in the early stages. Unfortunately, many Karate Katas are very long and take time to get right. Better short and easy to learn, and to get right.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Each Kata is made up of an individual fighting-move, and putting them together creates a kind of Warrior-Dance. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">The forms need some form of self-control, motor-memory, and install self-discipline in the individual. When used in a group they bond together the individuals and create the 'Pack Instinct'. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">In doing a kata/form the individual has to visualise a 'living' opponent in order to attack-defend in the way it would be done with a 'real' opponent. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is even room to extend this use of movement by creating short attack-defend moves with one or more opponents, thus mimicking a real fight. This is done in some Martial Arts, but can be altered to suit a more ritual dance type of movement. </span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBic0vR_FrvHgzbRgCzUxvgDnBACcG2MbkQCb6jMAGx86zcM3CuY0b0qfA1x-RJvo2EK3tn45bgxPImpYpF-4KSi5iUqVfPZVyF33nR4rQkB1BAGpZCSnG-xsafuogCYa3va8aWmz7dvja1ZNTO3__mA_yut9_Y5guaThM4lRZ3rTfCJcs9qkaCECI/s248/SuttonHoo4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="204" data-original-width="248" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBic0vR_FrvHgzbRgCzUxvgDnBACcG2MbkQCb6jMAGx86zcM3CuY0b0qfA1x-RJvo2EK3tn45bgxPImpYpF-4KSi5iUqVfPZVyF33nR4rQkB1BAGpZCSnG-xsafuogCYa3va8aWmz7dvja1ZNTO3__mA_yut9_Y5guaThM4lRZ3rTfCJcs9qkaCECI/s1600/SuttonHoo4.png" width="248" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The first Ar-Kan Form that I developed uses the 33-Runes, each rune made into a movement fitted into a sequence of moves. This is very long and not so easy to learn, but can be split into Four Forms using the Four AEttir. On looking back at this shorter forms would be better suited since they can be learned quickly and thus not become a chore to learn. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have done Karate Kata in the past, though I found this rather harder when I restarted training when older, due to the length of the katas. But some of these are invaluable to a Cultic-Warrior Order if we revive them in a form suited to the more esoteric side. The kata we learned for First Dan Black Belt was <i>Tensho </i>which is a very easy one to learn, and based wholly upon short easy moves linked to the rhythmic breath. Higher grades were much longer and harder to learn, and in line with a policy of trying to make things easy to learn, and thus ensure that can be perfected, it is best to stick to short ones. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The essence of all forms is that the fighter is being attacked by more than one opponent, and has to defend against many, and attack against many. Thus the need for agility and flexibility, having to move, turn, twist etc. The 'Hollywood' style high kicks are of no use when fighting, but in these forms the leaps and jumps can be of use in the 'dance' that is the basis of such forms - depending on age of course (leave me out). </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeoCWAZebzP_3kVI0Lm4_u9r3BOExYxMdTq-q_6ITdF7m27qh6gS-x76f7PZvuHwcGt0g_OT-EyqSs_GR4RZ0rGk5Il-K8Gk32-dqA7FlDtL8PgobesoC8IujjxC4XsamdTyhUY5N6rmZ4QTkBOMbcH3D8ChoCDMFWqgK5EnMr7Qn6i9WJ_kypa66/s176/Odin5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="152" data-original-width="176" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeoCWAZebzP_3kVI0Lm4_u9r3BOExYxMdTq-q_6ITdF7m27qh6gS-x76f7PZvuHwcGt0g_OT-EyqSs_GR4RZ0rGk5Il-K8Gk32-dqA7FlDtL8PgobesoC8IujjxC4XsamdTyhUY5N6rmZ4QTkBOMbcH3D8ChoCDMFWqgK5EnMr7Qn6i9WJ_kypa66/w200-h173/Odin5.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Weapons Training can also be done with forms, and I have done training with staffs and other weapons some years ago. The best form of weapons-training that we could use for our Martial Arts is that of the Staff and the Twin-Sticks (two short sticks). These need not be bought, and the Folkish Wodenist would be best served making such a Staff and Sticks, of ash-wood usually. Remember, this is being done not as a 'sport' but as serious <i>Spiritual Training. </i>This type of practice must be of a ritual-religious-initiation nature and not for money nor sport, but for spiritual advancement.

Again, some martial artists avoid this type of training, but it is useful in building a group-consciousness and 'team-building'. At one time I started to feel that this was unnecessary today, but in retrospect this seems to be a thing needed to build up a 'team' that works together as the 'pack'. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeW6AtGUCaAJTSTmX7zd9ZXG90iefc4F5HZgN0VeNeQzwIdMv2cbt0e6in3eQ2U5_BOp-d8JV1BzJK9v4WgsIJno59dl2JcXdUrbbwMs6S7uh7fFZOBjbbrWPSRykl5aJ56XIGgv4lQtSZ2aa2Nl57CsnqmmcinalT_-nnXJkRywPNPleu8VMLZ4-5/s627/Wolf-PackMotto.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="90" data-original-width="627" height="58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeW6AtGUCaAJTSTmX7zd9ZXG90iefc4F5HZgN0VeNeQzwIdMv2cbt0e6in3eQ2U5_BOp-d8JV1BzJK9v4WgsIJno59dl2JcXdUrbbwMs6S7uh7fFZOBjbbrWPSRykl5aJ56XIGgv4lQtSZ2aa2Nl57CsnqmmcinalT_-nnXJkRywPNPleu8VMLZ4-5/w400-h58/Wolf-PackMotto.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The one difference than using Japanese, Chinese, or Korean Martial Arts is that everything done in the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag is done in modern English, thus avoiding the need to learn a foreign tongue rather than concentrating upon the actual fighting techniques. Of course, although learning can be done through non-contact, some of the training must be done with semi-contact and then full-contact or it is useless in real life. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This type of form-work and group-training can be started off through slow-motion moves, thus ensuring the right technique which should precede the right power and force needed. There is another advantage to this, since using a slow-motion type movement actually increases focus and concentration, and it can be allied to rhythmic breathing too. This has the advantage of training oneself to breath correctly and thus avoid the shortness of breath that most newcomers experience because they go in like a 'bull at a gate'. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTsWojxQ8CwfvFuNUySfJNjbsW2pYJCHFNjIByrk2tnOyd97R_Espdsh2GewkcPcTOJisrxItvXOVCzrIpMNgAGkFwfaEx3Vh9lnrE25xQaYGQg15SlcfDI9Zo2BePy51CPDHXd58FctG4YbocMBiBUrQYND4Q6nIo2REpi3UG6N_ZED3r7UuN5WZ/s500/large-blacksun.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTsWojxQ8CwfvFuNUySfJNjbsW2pYJCHFNjIByrk2tnOyd97R_Espdsh2GewkcPcTOJisrxItvXOVCzrIpMNgAGkFwfaEx3Vh9lnrE25xQaYGQg15SlcfDI9Zo2BePy51CPDHXd58FctG4YbocMBiBUrQYND4Q6nIo2REpi3UG6N_ZED3r7UuN5WZ/w200-h200/large-blacksun.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another point to make here is that this is a Spiritual Training at an esoteric level, and a Physical Training at an exoteric level - both should be done together which is how it was in ancient times. Mind-Body-Spirit. There is also the ritual content involved in training, since in the martial arts this forms part of the whole. Starting with the opening of a form, using a ritual mudra (hand-sign) such as used in the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag (Right Hand in a ball, Left Hand clasped over the Right in an 'arch', symbolic of the Sun & The Moon - the Balance of Light and Darkness within the individual. Then there is the Breathing Exercise that follows after the Ritual Hand-Sign, which we need not go into here. The Eastern 'bow' is left out for obvious reasons, since the Hand-Sign can be used before a contest as an acknowledgement to the opponent. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418446140403245524.post-64081180426360252502023-02-23T07:28:00.003-08:002023-02-23T07:28:56.054-08:00The Germanic Mannerbund - Part Four<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKUnOWU-FRtaPctv9ZIHC3dKIWowxMny722CrLIWFJyvs8slxX8u4fnca0AFPRt6JFOo-96x40qDvk9Z6_4bNIP7ky-zg0Tu1krVr170Fn8pttxXqrcWWygzEETH61nK35Lcqt7OfxQgmUWrcdTFGGvJ2YtfXJWdXGSKWkwOHUAck1ak4IaRP7B40/s260/TheHoodedMan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="260" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKKUnOWU-FRtaPctv9ZIHC3dKIWowxMny722CrLIWFJyvs8slxX8u4fnca0AFPRt6JFOo-96x40qDvk9Z6_4bNIP7ky-zg0Tu1krVr170Fn8pttxXqrcWWygzEETH61nK35Lcqt7OfxQgmUWrcdTFGGvJ2YtfXJWdXGSKWkwOHUAck1ak4IaRP7B40/w400-h154/TheHoodedMan.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The theme of a group of outlaws living wild in the English Forests is connected to the Cultic Warrior Brotherhoods. Robin Hood and his Merry Men was one of these Cultic War-Bands - English Freedom Fighters - who roamed the area of Sherwood Forest. What we know of them is sparse, and the film industry does little to clear up any confusion, and Robin Hood was certainly not a champion of the 'meek and weak', but a bringer of justice. In one of the tales he is said to have held a <i>Mete-Wand </i>which is a staff used for measurement, in this case symbolic of the bringing of justice and right in a time of tyranny and injustice. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Folkish Wodenism uses the theme of Robin i' the Hood as the 'Son' of Herne the Hunter, an aspect of Woden as the One-Eyed Hunter God. In this he is, in line with the Myth of Herne the Hunter, adorned with Stag's Horns on his head, and is the Lord of the Trees, Lord of the Forests, and Lord of the Animals. This is a very ancient <i>Aryan Archetype</i> that is the basis for the Forest God. Of course, Wid-Ar the Avenger is also the 'Forest Warrior' - the 'Forest God'. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ0XWyFxi2qCjTtVguwo0T1gQBC5mJtANp-_3SoymhIhyr7w2FwaOtXbM04ciBw5TPjDjJalyZDDeQkI9E-v7Nanm6wA6KNRL513h07315VUWtKLcdbo3RHXmLNYAxulLRcmMZIiOxLKneUCvXSz9GAuwAO-d6dy5jeZjDq5QXKnxIqFlirvAt3NIS/s1000/WidAr_Banner_FilledIn_LowRes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ0XWyFxi2qCjTtVguwo0T1gQBC5mJtANp-_3SoymhIhyr7w2FwaOtXbM04ciBw5TPjDjJalyZDDeQkI9E-v7Nanm6wA6KNRL513h07315VUWtKLcdbo3RHXmLNYAxulLRcmMZIiOxLKneUCvXSz9GAuwAO-d6dy5jeZjDq5QXKnxIqFlirvAt3NIS/w200-h200/WidAr_Banner_FilledIn_LowRes.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The Hooded One </i>is Woden, and running through the theme of Robin Hood and his Outlaw Band is the need for secrecy and to be hidden away from the rest of society as <i>Wolf's Heads. </i>There is something important in this idea, since the time will come when those opposed to this sick, rotten, degenerate society will be forced to get out of it somehow, or forced to move 'underground', much as the secret orders and secret societies had to do in the past. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One such Secret Order was the <i>Geheimgericht </i>(Secret Tribunal) or <i>Tugendbund </i>(Alliance for the Promotion of Virtue), better known as the <i>Fehm-, Behm- </i>or <i>Vehmgericht. </i>It is very difficult to sift fact from fiction when dealing with secret societies, and most start off as something far different than they end up, because these can easily be taken up and used by an oppressive state as a kind of 'secret police'. The Fehm was supposedly started in the time of Charlemagne to suppress the Heathen Saxons; when it was revived in the fourteenth century the members of the Vehm were known as <i>Die Wissenden </i>- The Illuminati. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are doubts as to what we have been left of this subject, since Guido von List has nothing bad to say of the Vehm. They summarily executed their 'victims' by hanging them on a tree, which may suggest that the term Vehm, in its alternative Behm, derives from <i>Baeume Gericht </i>(Tree Law). Generally, they hung them using a rope of willow twigs, since hemp was forbidden in ancient law, and on a Lime Tree (Linden Tree). The German sacred geographer Joseph Heinsche stated that these were sited on geomantic-points or power-points of the Earth. This suggests something more ancient that the Christianity of Charlemagne.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">They used a ritual dagger stuck into the ground to show who was doing the hanging, and to warn others not to interfere, under penalty of the same fate. This dagger bore the letters S.S.G.G. which were said to stand for <i>Strick </i>(Noose), <i>Stein </i>(Stone), <i>Gras </i>(Fear), <i>Grein </i>(Quarrel). This was an Initiation Cult, and most likely developed from the same roots as the Germanic Mannerbund, since the aim was to enforce Justice and Order on society. Their rules were enshrined in <i>The Red Tower </i>which is an Arthurian allegory because in the Forest of the Red Tower Parsifal discovered two knights hanging from a tree. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The act of hanging from a tree as a punishment, and that these took place in the forests of Westphalia, Saxony, suggest some connection to Woden in the very early times. There is no doubt that this idea was taken up and used by Charlemagne and the Christian Franks, but that does not mean that it was invented at this time. The revival and the link to King Arthur also suggest that this was again used for a specific purpose by the state. There have been other examples of this type of secret order arising in times of tyranny, in Germany prior to World War II, the other in the USA. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The importance to us here is that there may come a time when secrecy is indeed needed, and in times of tyranny, though of course using different methods, there is a need to create a balance through the bringing of justice and order. One of the most important things is to revive the <u>symbolism</u> that was used by such orders, since they will be firmly impressed into the Blood Memory, and that will be enough to make people know what is being done to right wrong, even if they do not know consciously.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418446140403245524.post-7101997526113339432023-02-22T10:47:00.101-08:002023-02-23T06:39:24.092-08:00The Germanic Mannerbunde - Part Three.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPR2EQjxrJSU7msFvUZ_C27CXmQe7Dvjf4ym6EMU-J6h84Q038OZ8G2b97xnU5DzqPmlXDEyZ_cKlUixjzcK7aqVNC2neqOQzzb12itVHy8HbXPvfiqMcgThaIqeNV1_9_amHA0IA9nu0rzZbjhJ4PXPHYYlYbEbBBbXNRfeBvct7T_z2foD_YHQm9/s474/WoV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="302" data-original-width="474" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPR2EQjxrJSU7msFvUZ_C27CXmQe7Dvjf4ym6EMU-J6h84Q038OZ8G2b97xnU5DzqPmlXDEyZ_cKlUixjzcK7aqVNC2neqOQzzb12itVHy8HbXPvfiqMcgThaIqeNV1_9_amHA0IA9nu0rzZbjhJ4PXPHYYlYbEbBBbXNRfeBvct7T_z2foD_YHQm9/w400-h255/WoV.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I decided to take down this part and redo the whole thing, since what I had done in some hast did not really fit with the theme that is unfolding in this series.This is the revised edition.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This part will take a quick look at the<i> Wolves of Vinland </i>which is a group established in the US. Their set-up is that of an alternative society with their own unique Folk-Community, but it is based upon the Cult of Manhood through using Martial Arts in the form of MMA - Jiu Jitsu styles of fighting. Gym training is part of the work to build up fitness and stamina, as well as self-discipline. They are totally opposed to the Established Order and seek to break free of the shackles of thraldom in such a society. Their structure is much like a biker club, which also forms part of their dress-code, and some do ride bikes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The one thing that sets them apart from the normal 'club' is their use of Heathen Ritual as part of their lifestyle. Using a form of down-to-earth ritual that would certainly awaken Primal Forces theirs is not based upon the usual rites used in most pagan & heathen work. They use face-painting and other arts which formed part of ancient groups and rituals. Their work is very much akin to the ancient Germanic Mannerbund, and thus something to look to for the means to revive these Oath-Brotherhoods.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrGCxY_Lc0MONJN8NFTOb56KdQPc6cnSM1WDKbwYeB7dJuqExpkZyUXpoVrxZOLn_ypNieO8KvDVtVgLvTaD1mIsSHB1JTvsRKCr5-YkggM2nrIqMkkHDkfynUyBGz0HxMr3CzAeg2anQTAx1cI4o4wllpaIHlwT6u5hWy2Lkm2tN75bM4Y3DwPu0m/s555/outlaws.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="555" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrGCxY_Lc0MONJN8NFTOb56KdQPc6cnSM1WDKbwYeB7dJuqExpkZyUXpoVrxZOLn_ypNieO8KvDVtVgLvTaD1mIsSHB1JTvsRKCr5-YkggM2nrIqMkkHDkfynUyBGz0HxMr3CzAeg2anQTAx1cI4o4wllpaIHlwT6u5hWy2Lkm2tN75bM4Y3DwPu0m/w200-h188/outlaws.PNG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is no doubt that the Wolves of Vinland is a Cultic Warrior Brotherhood based upon the Heathen Cult, using some Heathen Symbolism and the Sacred Runes. Paul Waggener, one of the founders of the Wolves of Vinland, is proficient at rune-workings, and no doubt more off the members are too. Their work is also towards a self-reliant Folk-Community since they hunt for their own meat and (I think) grow their one food to an extent. So this really is a community set apart, and is thus constantly attacked by the US State. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have many biker clubs here in England, some with Folkish Heathens as members, but not in the sense of being a Folk-Community set up for self-reliance and self-sufficiency, although most have their own 'club-house' and other facilities they use as a group or groups. Setting up a Folk-Community here in England is rather different than the US, since here we are such a small island that it would be very hard to find places where a group could operate without interference, and the only real 'wilderness' is in the Scottish Highlands. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There was an attempt to create a group based upon the ideas of the Wolves of Vinland, but this failed after the police raided one of them and the whole thing shut down. This is hardly something that will help our struggle, and I do know that one of those involved lives in the same village as a prominent WF-C Activist and will have nothing to do with him. Throughout the years some WF Activists have been subjected to these police raids or visits from 'Prevent' (Anti-Terrorist Squad before that), and we are still going despite the harassment. That it what it is, they have nothing whatever on us for doing anything wrong, so they intimidate and try to frighten us off. Clearly it works on some! Clearly this is not the case with the Wolves of Vinland.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418446140403245524.post-66414322422455007072023-02-22T09:18:00.000-08:002023-02-22T09:18:10.745-08:00The Germanic Mannerbunde - Part Two.<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCYXhCTh-cMbYtIDQrGBuZ_n_WG-E1d9HH1xRcz6Xzk2-Ln55dcoA51IKGf5ztUzVgQlWiuKm_i5Rt0ffS77tQfjJBgxVQhSTjgvgVWiXfFEIVxEb2DXwc6UztEP2-lvjGLkc3JyYy2kmjIYm7wWltTBlcEU8HNdmiv4RDj7qz9w4K_SYsGsXAnW6G/s248/SuttonHoo4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="204" data-original-width="248" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCYXhCTh-cMbYtIDQrGBuZ_n_WG-E1d9HH1xRcz6Xzk2-Ln55dcoA51IKGf5ztUzVgQlWiuKm_i5Rt0ffS77tQfjJBgxVQhSTjgvgVWiXfFEIVxEb2DXwc6UztEP2-lvjGLkc3JyYy2kmjIYm7wWltTBlcEU8HNdmiv4RDj7qz9w4K_SYsGsXAnW6G/s1600/SuttonHoo4.png" width="248" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">"Truthfully, in this age those with intellect have no </span></i></b><span style="font-family: arial;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">courage, and those with a modicum of physical courage have no intellect.

I have said before that in my own view we need to go a step further with this, through a three-fold 'New Man' -</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;">The Warrior-Hero</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">The Thinker.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">The Mystic. </span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: arial;">All of this forms part of the Germanic Mannerbund, which we are dealing with here, and which I believe we should revive in a suitable form that would serve our purpose in this era - the darkest period of the Great Year Cycle. The Mannerbund were a war-band and cultic-brotherhood that acted as the Guardians against the Forces of Destruction, in a constant struggle to maintain the Cosmos and Cosmic Order. They were the earthly counterpart of the Einheriar, the Warriors of Woden who fought the mythical battle against the Joten, and were the protectors of men against the Fenris Wolf. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">At the individual level we need to create the 'New Man', the Warrior-Thinker-Mystic, whilst at the same time incorporating the individual with a new Aryan Mannerbunde, the Lone-Wolf within the Pack. The members of such an Aryan Mannerbunde would be Cultic-Warriors within a Cultic Oath-Brotherhood. Woden is the Mythical Leader and the personification of the Heri - the War-Band. Thunor is the <i>Archetypal Warrior & Serpent-Slayer </i>who is the Mythical Warrior of the Aryan Mannerbund. Now, in truth it is perhaps wise for us to honour Thunor on April 23rd rather than 'St. George'; some Odinists honour Sigurd on this day, and we have done so in the past, but the roots of the Myth of Sigurd lie in the <i>Archetypal Serpent-Slayer </i>who is Thunor. Both Sigurd and Beowulf are 'Dragon-Slayers' or 'Monster-Slayers' but it is the god Thunor who is the Ur-Type of this ancient myth.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">These cultic-warriors formed guerrilla war-bands that learned hardness, self-control, stealth and strategy, as well as survival tactics. This was done through living wild in the wilderness, not settled by moving around, through the cattle-raid and abduction of the women, and thus fighting with rival tribes. Such things, going against the trend of the 'progressive' times, ensure a healthy, strong, disciplined people with survival skills and the ability to live through their own work and efforts. This is the difference between Wilderness Living, which is a settled state living in harmony with Nature and the Folkland, and the 'Heathen' living outside the boundaries of the settled tribe, having to survive and live off the land, always aware of the dangers in living this way, and thus overcoming any fears that they started out with.

The Mannerbunde was made up of young aethlinga warriors who were sent out as Lone-Wolves or Wolfish Bands into the wilds to hunt and fight for their survival in the most harsh conditions. If young people today were subjected to such rigorous training the social services would seen get involved. And here lies the problem, since young men need to go through some forms of hardship and training in order to become strong men. This is denied them, although parents can, in some small degree, help by not bringing young boys up in totally soft conditions - martial arts, strength-training and survivalism are some ways to do this. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6a7j1wyx7atzx0kFp570dhvUyQFF-Kgdu6-C7obby2uIrGGemvf6_EMa13piRpYwCKNSK1XcnJM4fKcIRFN9PUKlR3iQrVWZSfTCpN3Lk-CKeOf0JQHPqy7f07P46OzJPrVIu-eIOEd_-2z5Eo_NHZ4I4m45xgmx090oMRZuVYzkq82EiAsRNV_5/s176/Odin5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="152" data-original-width="176" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6a7j1wyx7atzx0kFp570dhvUyQFF-Kgdu6-C7obby2uIrGGemvf6_EMa13piRpYwCKNSK1XcnJM4fKcIRFN9PUKlR3iQrVWZSfTCpN3Lk-CKeOf0JQHPqy7f07P46OzJPrVIu-eIOEd_-2z5Eo_NHZ4I4m45xgmx090oMRZuVYzkq82EiAsRNV_5/w320-h277/Odin5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">In this Swedish bracteate we see what is most likely Woden as a Horned God, bearing the Solar-Horns & Lunar-Horns, a sword and two spears, in the pose of the Long Man of Wilmington. He seems to be leading a Wolf-Warrior in a war-dance; he is here the leader of the army of the ecstatic wolf-warriors. The Wolf-Warrior is a <i>Wolf-Krieger </i>or <i>Ulfhedhnin, </i>and the horned figure seems to have the right eye missing.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Woden's role in this Warrior Cult is as the <i>Heerfuhrer </i>or 'Leader of the War-Band'; but using the term <i>'Fuhrer' </i>is not an arbitrary one, since this title links him to the <i>Teuton Fury</i> or <i>Wolf-Fury </i>which is the basis of the Wod-Force, and Woden is the 'Master of Wod'. The word <i>here, here, heri </i>is usually translated as 'army' but its origins lie in the idea of a war-band, a Cultic-Warrior Band. We find this term in the rod for the 'Single Combatants' or <i>Einheriar. </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here we should look at the idea of the <i>Einheriar </i>since they are the Chosen Warriors of Woden who ride out of Valhalla to fight the Last Battle at Ragnarok. They are thus the Warriors of Valhalla in this sense, but in another sense they could be seen as the <i>Lone Wolves </i>who are the last to stand here in Middle-Earth against the Forces of Darkness. They are the <i>One-Harriers </i>who stand alone and isolated in an alien world but who are ready and willing to stand behind the <i>Heerfuhrer </i>when he arises to lead them into the Last Battle. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFPi0jQwssG7acH5zk7c4U1Cybi2b26y6HMDvTxooOOe5y7TR6_3DeDHuBXhfAaGxftsRdaw1c1aIYlJ2hLNHSlJcigzu1PWb_OkWlN7h2hI7XhP0iEUC-UIEeRkL3TVaMnPFWDBOFhiLdaTAXM9yq7PNOOpMlimyiuJ-2ARe4JfuYdIjHjWhOPlgU/s142/Toten12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="142" data-original-width="133" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFPi0jQwssG7acH5zk7c4U1Cybi2b26y6HMDvTxooOOe5y7TR6_3DeDHuBXhfAaGxftsRdaw1c1aIYlJ2hLNHSlJcigzu1PWb_OkWlN7h2hI7XhP0iEUC-UIEeRkL3TVaMnPFWDBOFhiLdaTAXM9yq7PNOOpMlimyiuJ-2ARe4JfuYdIjHjWhOPlgU/w187-h200/Toten12.jpg" width="187" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Old English <i>hergian, herigan </i>means 'to make a predatory raid, to destroy, to lay waste, to plunder, to despoil, commit ravages', and the modern English 'to harry' and 'harrow' stem from this too. War was <i>razzia, </i>the theft of cattle and the abduction of women; this seems clear from much later times when the Americas were being settled by pioneers, and cattle-rustling was one of the 'pastimes' of this era. In later times, such a the Viking era, we find much the same thing, but at this time it was mainly gold and not cattle, since gold had replaced cattle as a means of barter. This is shown in the rune-poems where the Old English Poem has 'cattle' for Feoh, and later substitute 'gold'. This was called by the <i>PIE *koryo-no-s </i>and the troop were the <i>*koryos</i>; we shall refer here to the war-band as the <i>heri </i>since this is the Germanic title.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These were <i>Cultic Warrior Brotherhoods </i>and Thunor was chided by Loki as being an <i>einheri </i>which tells us that Thunor is the <i>Archetypal Cultic-Warrior. </i>These Cultic-Warriors upheld the <i>Totenkult </i>(Cult of the Dead) and the <i>Ahnenkult </i>(Cult of the Ancestors). Woden its the <i>Totenfuhrer im Totenheer </i>who leads the Army of the Dead, and the dead are the honoured ancestors - the Immortals - whose life force, that divine spark, is far more potent after death than before they died. It matters little whether they died in battle or of old age, it was their life's work that counted. Believing that one has to die on battle to go to Valhalla could mean that the individual only has to fight one fatal battle to do so; this is like the Christian view that it only needs a death-bed 'conversion' to do the trick. The secret lies in a Heroic Life that ends in death, where the Life-Force lives on, but it lives on in its own <i>Immortal Body </i>which cannot die again. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The whole theme of 'Halloween' or 'All-Hallows Eve' is that of an Ancestral Cult and Cult of the Dead. The skeletal dress, the weapons, the ghostly aspect of the dead, the point of the year when the Veils of the World are thinnest, even the 'Trick and Treat' which is supposed to be a modern addition, but which has its roots in the Cultic-Warrior Cults. Between October 31st (Halloween), November 5th (Fire-Festival) and November 11th (Einheriar Day) we have a long ritual period dedicated to the <i>Totenkult </i>and to the <i>Ahnenkult. </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQIMrWPlaqvT0H6KdRnm0BvfzA-Tq28kZc48ah1SvuJy6NoSkUObi8DlWuC6SU1DeyXaG9Dc2bpPPq6Vgz-WdymO_3qnDz8_vwkQWzus6tyHM4LXM9AVLGb9cku1oLpnhn4W7f2AFHAj5e_YhiWokeSApvbj-552v7eBlUWekJT-6-HtvASSlMJXNe/s320/Stuck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="203" data-original-width="320" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQIMrWPlaqvT0H6KdRnm0BvfzA-Tq28kZc48ah1SvuJy6NoSkUObi8DlWuC6SU1DeyXaG9Dc2bpPPq6Vgz-WdymO_3qnDz8_vwkQWzus6tyHM4LXM9AVLGb9cku1oLpnhn4W7f2AFHAj5e_YhiWokeSApvbj-552v7eBlUWekJT-6-HtvASSlMJXNe/s1600/Stuck.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Both the <i>Wild Host </i>or <i>Wild Army </i>and the <i>Wild Hunt </i>are connected to these Cultic Brotherhoods, hunting being a kind of practice for warfare at this time.

But the idea of being a 'Wolf's Head' in a society based solely upon economic materialism, rejecting the <i>Spirit of Man, </i>cannot be a bad thing. Time moves towards decay and death, and though the Global Elite may not wish to see it, so does their Old Order - for that is what it is - the Old Order! Their 'New World Order' is merely the result of thousands of years of intrigue and subversion aimed to corrupt and destroy the old rulers, whose energy was spent anyway. They have now replaced this with their own tyrannical rule - which it has to be since they would have no respect for what they are doing - if people realised it, that is. Their 'New World Order' is a sick parody of the <i>Aryan Imperium </i>and the <i>Sovereign King </i>which descends from the Godhead.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgR1d7bBTrkz0zau3q4RtCDo9fIM5RtBBUM8gRmAHVehJ0vaxEPCRrh3Oj7woQXrXOZfNF_5fdfKLs7yokezL1X0R5xd7ZQsH0RG6AfIVOItY7jn9qV6-kLxrpgJzBqbg60jGVPBNsjH16o9LTD95nIHJmIskOFdhs2Ch7YW6zQGJsgvWoQnvct-a5g=s680" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="680" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgR1d7bBTrkz0zau3q4RtCDo9fIM5RtBBUM8gRmAHVehJ0vaxEPCRrh3Oj7woQXrXOZfNF_5fdfKLs7yokezL1X0R5xd7ZQsH0RG6AfIVOItY7jn9qV6-kLxrpgJzBqbg60jGVPBNsjH16o9LTD95nIHJmIskOFdhs2Ch7YW6zQGJsgvWoQnvct-a5g=w400-h100" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">In my own opinion there needs to be a new way of thinking today; we need to give honour, loyalty and be truthful to our own, but in facing an enemy that deceives, lies, cheats and has set out destroy our people we have to deal with in a very different way. Laws should be there to protect the people, to ensure a future for the people, and for the future generations, as well as to protect the past - our roots. When laws are enacted that are designed to destroy a people then those laws should have no place in our thinking. When the law is an ass then it must be treated as such!

They are little more than 'robots', programmed from outside to do the Will of the Lord of Shadows. But we must not forget that this has happened due to incessant indoctrination which has been going on for decades, and which it is hard to fight off. I doubt if any one of us can say that we have not in some way fallen foul of this, because in this society the 'opposition' is in some cases controlled by The System. There is as much disinformation out there as there is information. There are varying degrees as to how far people have been led down the wrong path, and if we think carefully about it we can recognise that it is our role to counter the System Indoctrination.

The media, press and the world wide web of illusion has a very powerful affect upon everyone who uses them. But this is not the limit that these people can go, since we are dealing with the sort of set-up we find in Star-Wars, where the tip of the triangle is held by the 'Emperor' who is a very powerful sorcerer. Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker use magical weapons - Light Sabres - but the Dark Emperor is a very powerful sorcerer who uses Mind-Magic against those who wishes to subdue. We are, at the top, dealing with such people.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It seems just like a section of our society, world-wide, has suddenly 'woke' to a call from a sinister and dark, hidden, force.

To counter this we use the war-cry - <i style="font-weight: bold;">England A-Wake! </i>- using the cry of 'The Wake' - Hereward the Wake. The people can only be awoken to their plight using <u>symbols</u>, and working at a very deep level - the Group Soul. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Having said these things there is something that I would add to the ideas of Jonathon Bowden, and that is the need to create a 'New Man' whose make-up is threefold, rather than twofold -</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. The Thinker.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. The Cultic-Warrior.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. The Mystic-Warrior.</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><ul><li><i style="font-family: verdana;">1. The Thinker </i><span style="font-family: verdana;">is more on the intellectual side, using logic and intelligence to be able to work things out, analyse, and to process methods of how to further our own aims. </span></li><li><i style="font-family: verdana;">2. The Cultic-Warrior </i><span style="font-family: verdana;">is no mere 'fighter' or 'thug' <b><i>(*) </i></b>but has a religious outlook on life and is a </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">Spiritual Warrior</i><span style="font-family: verdana;">, which becomes a great advantage if this is done right. Part of this is the ability to use Intuition and 'Gut Feeling', as well as the ability to control the emotions which can be used positively. This also involves self-discipline and order to an extent - mixed with a bit of Chaos for good luck! </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. <i>The Mystic-Warrior </i>goes beyond these two since this brings in the Esoteric Arts, and the use of higher states of consciousness. This entails the study of the Occult Arts - of Magic and Mysticism - and the subtle Energy-Forces that are symbolised by the Ancient Runes. </span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>(*) </b>That is not to say that I reject the idea of the 'Street-Fighter' or 'Thug' since these are the first to get involved in a fight because that is what they do, and they were the first, no doubt, to enrol in the wars throughout the ages. There is a place for this so long as there is always a leader-group disciplined and ordered to lead them. </i></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Actually, this is nothing new, since we find such a set-up in the Eddas when Rig incarnates on Middle-Earth to create the Four Castes. The AEthlinga or Caste of Earls is a noble caste of warriors, but Rig taught to them the arts of hunting, fighting and also the Ancient Runes - this was the role of the Earls, so they were not just fighters but also Mystic-Warriors. In later times the Knight's Templar were Religious Warriors, and these type of societies or orders fought in 'Holy Wars' which steps up the level of war somewhat. In fact, if we look at this carefully it creates warriors with a much fiercer outlook, who are fanatical (that is a religious word) in fighting a 'Holy War'. We can see the fanaticism in the Muslim Extremists today, because they are fighting a 'Holy War' (to them), even if we don't see it that way. But the Knight's Templar were an ordered, disciplined force, well-trained and efficient in warfare. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">A religious movement must be built upon a sound foundation first, and must have <u>intent, purpose and aims</u> - as well as ideology, ideals and a <i>weltanshauung</i>. Even if a movement is crushed, the <u>cause</u> must be carried on by others. The <u>cause</u> is what is important, and this gives rise to the idea of 'martyrs' - those who have died (not necessarily fighting) throughout the years that such a cause has been operating. This is where an <i>Ancestral Rite</i> <b><i>(*) </i></b>should be in the form of a <i>Hero's Rite</i> - the 'Fallen Heroes' - and not just speaking of our own families and friends, many of whom will have had no part in this cause. There is room for an <i>Ancestral Call </i>which revolves around the family and friends at the <i>Yuletide Rites. </i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>(*) </b>The Ancestral Rite is 'Einheriar Day' or 'Heroes Day' and this should involve the Mythical Heroes of our Folk as much as those who have 'fallen' during the struggle we are fighting.

These are <i>cultic-warriors </i>doing a <i>cultic-warrior dance </i>which seems clear by the stance which Woden holds. When doing our Spiritual Exercises what we do is to use the symbolism used in Wing Chun to start of any form - the right hand makes a clenched fist (ball) which represents the Sun, and the left hand is arched over the right whilst the fingers are not quite touching, making a Crescent Moon. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjsw4dV-Rsx8BjOw7u9iSeXQ4AKi2RZ6hK6pEX-t_8W31j1Glr1qv38bvpNWQyjyLq3mVX-nuENcMth3DDU7KbqJWIE_bUUTMfL9dzKbxYKNXUUrHUTwP_zmkpQsXKJAQmeTgnsqby5qIXaGCUOwGq4BfjPEQCt3yPEbTHOnIwbN2vimG6ZXluQkKLk=s1200" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1185" data-original-width="1200" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjsw4dV-Rsx8BjOw7u9iSeXQ4AKi2RZ6hK6pEX-t_8W31j1Glr1qv38bvpNWQyjyLq3mVX-nuENcMth3DDU7KbqJWIE_bUUTMfL9dzKbxYKNXUUrHUTwP_zmkpQsXKJAQmeTgnsqby5qIXaGCUOwGq4BfjPEQCt3yPEbTHOnIwbN2vimG6ZXluQkKLk=w200-h198" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Death's Head Symbol is important since it is the Sign of the One-Eyed Death-Hunter - Woden.

Ingwe (Heimdall) comes as <i>Rig </i>or <i>Rik </i>because he is the 'ruler' or the 'Sacral King', he who bestows kingship and the <i>Glory of Light - 'Heil'. </i>Our Folk are 'frozen', they are bound by some kind of 'freezing-spell' which has locked them down - Initiates of Fire must arise to break the Ice, to melt the Ice, and to free our Folk - just as Idunn lay under the White Wolf-Skin (snow and ice) and had to be freed at Ragnarok. Gandalf wore the <i>Ring of Fire </i>(Narya) and used the <i>Fire of Anor </i>against the Balrog - his was the Feoh-Rune - Rune of Fire.

Here we see them as the 'Dancing Warriors' on the Sutton Hoo Mask. Notice the Twin-Swords at the top centre, and the Twin-Spears at the bottom centre create the Ing-Rune. These are the <i>Sons of Ingwe</i>. Again, they wear the Solar-Horns and the Lunar-Horns, the Solar-Horns ending in Bird's Beaks, and may well also be Serpent Symbols too. The <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sacred Belt </i>is also worn by the Cultic-Warrior; the buckle (not worn here) is symbolic of the <i>Hara-Centre </i>- a Power-Centre in the human body. The spears point to the Sole and Heel of both figures, and it has just occurred to me (after all this time) that these words may represent <i>Sol </i>and <i>Heil -</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sol - <i style="font-weight: bold;">*saawel </i>- 'Sun'.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Heel - <i style="font-weight: bold;">*kenk </i>- Old English <i>hela. </i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This may be a play-on-words since <i>hela </i>could also related to <i>heil</i>; this is mere guesswork but it does seem logical.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We English need to recognise our roots in Germania, as part of the Germanic Folk, and then we can try to educate those from other nations who are also ignorant of our roots. We also need to recognise that the <i>Sword of Hengest </i>passed from the 'Fatherland' (Germany) to the 'Land of the Son' (England) as foretold in the <i>Beowulf Saga. </i>It was with this sword that Hengest and his brother Horsa came here to these islands to stop the spread of the 'Religion of Evil' and in turn took the land by the sword for the Germanic Tribes already here, and for the English Tribes who came over with him and after him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The only reason that the term 'Celtic' is used is because the Old Order is sorely afraid of the arising again of the 'Germanic Barbarian'. Christianity sought to tame the 'Blond Beast' and yet it burst its chains, and since these time fear has been instilled in the enemies of our Gods and Folk - fear of this 'beast' breaking free once more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>'As the Christian view of the world loses its authority, the more menacingly will the <b>blond beast</b> be heard prowling about in its underground prison, ready at any moment to burst out with devastating consequences.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Carl Jung (1919).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There seems to be some connection between these ideas and the primitive <i>Serpent-Brain </i>said to be the older part of the human brain. Here we need to reconsider the symbolism of Yggdrasil, where the Serpent lies coiled around the roots of the World Tree. We would thus think of the 'base' of the human spine, where in Indian Lore the Goddess Kundalini lies dormant, waiting to be awoken in order to rise along the spinal column. However....since it seems clear that the Sacred Tree is seen to be <u>upside-down</u> then the Serpent must lie coiled at the <u>top</u> and not the bottom. Its movement is both up-and-down as shown by Ratatosk but when considering this the runes run from top-to-bottom, from Feoh down to Gar. Everything in the Warg Age (Kali Yuga) is <u>upside-down</u> hence the <u>reversal of values</u>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the Sutton Hoo Mask the Serpent starts at the back of the neck, moving across the crown of the head, and then linking to the 'Mind's Eye' or 'Third Eye' between the eyebrows. The eyebrows and nosepiece make the symbolism of the Irminsul which is another version of Yggdrasil. It has been said that the <i>Serpent-Brain </i>lies at the base of the neck so here we may have a hidden secret relating to the awakening of this 'Primal Beast'. Certainly, this part of the brain seems to be linked to the 'primitive'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Perhaps the most famous 'barbarian' is <i>Conan the Barbarian </i>the figure created by Robert E. Howard in 1932. The name 'Conan' is from the Irish relating to the 'dog' or the 'wolf' ('canine'); he is said to be a 'Cimmerian', a tribe who lived in the area of the Black Sea next to the Saka or Scythians. These were an Indo-European tribe who obviously migrated there much earlier from more northerly areas of Europe. Howard based it upon a 'pre-Celtic' people originating in Atlantis. In <i>The Phoenix & The Sword </i>he wrote of the time this happened -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>'Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 'Sons of Aryas' relates to the Aryans, Abir Taha has used the name 'Arya' for the Aryan Goddess of Light in her book <i>Arya</i>. The name was also used in Tibet in such names as the goddess <i>Arya Tara. </i>It is not so well known, and has been kept so, that Howard was in frequent contact with the science-fiction author H.P. Lovecraft and exchanged ideas between them. Lovecraft's work was done through strange and terrifying dreams that he had, dreams of the 'Great Old Ones' and the 'Elder Gods'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In some way our own era is not so unlike that of the times when Howard set 'Conan the Barbarian', for we are nearing the end of a cycle that has already brought upon us two devastating world wars, a 'war of terror' that continues for ages, and the world on another brink of disaster, just like Atlantis. From the ashes must arise a new Barbarian Age - an Age of Heroes. This is the 'Fifth Age' known to the Greeks, the age that follows the collapsing Dark Age or Age of Iron. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>'Wotan's reawakening is a stepping back into the past; the stream was dammed up and broken into its old channel. But the obstruction will not last forever...and the water will overleap the obstacle.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'Wotan' - Carl Jung. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Woden is associated with the wind, and this is related to his role as a 'Storm-God' or 'God of the Hurricane' <b><i>(*)</i></b>. In his 'passive' role as Seer and Wise Old Man his 'breath' moves us in a very calm way; in his 'active' mode as the 'Storm-God' he blows like a 'hurricane', smashing down all of the obstacles, breaking the shackles and freeing the 'Blond Beast'. The calm precedes the storm is a common saying that rings true of yesterday and of tomorrow. The Seer and Wise Old Man give way to the 'God of Fury'. This is ever how it shall be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>'He shows that Wotan is not only a god of rage and frenzy who embodies the instinctual and emotional aspect of the unconscious. Its intuitive and inspiring side also manifests itself in him, for he understands the runes and can interpret fate,'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'Wotan' - Carl Jung. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are back with the idea of balance and in particular the balance of opposites held within the figure of Woden. When we talk of the 'Barbarian' we are certainly not talking of the 'primitive savage'; this is not how Conan the Barbarian is portrayed. Yes, strong, virile, a warrior-hero, indeed a 'king' in his own right for his strength and warrior-hood gain him a kingdom and kingship in the end, but certainly a man of will and intelligence. He is the product if an advanced age - the Age of Atlantis - but an age that collapsed, as today the era we live in is on the brink of collapse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jung tells us that Wotan is a <i>'psychic factor which acts on the high pressure of civilisation like a cyclone and blows it away...' </i>Woden is not a god of 'civilisation' but an <i>archetype </i>that bursts out in a frenzy of energy and fire, smashing down everything in its path. Even when Christianity arose to 'tame the Blond Beast' Woden did not die, he slept in the Sacred Mountain (Kyffhauser) awaiting the time when his Ravens would call him back to 'life' -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>'He is the God of Storm and Rage, the one who unleashes passions and the lust of battle; moreover he is a superlative magician and artist in illusion who is skilled in all Occult Secrets.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'Wotan' - Carl Jung.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are seeing these 'passions' here within the people of England today, a passion that is being channeled in the wrong direction, so as (once again) to stave off the inevitable - the coming storm. Woden stirs the passions, working not through the intellect but through the emotions and instincts. Instinctively, the English know they are losing their freedom, and they will instinctively fight back. Our great Enemy knows this and has taken steps to channel it away from exposing those who have really taken away their freedom. Nevertheless, Woden works deep within the Soul of the Folk and can break out at any time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is down to groups like ours to <u>invoke</u> this aspect of Woden, as we have been doing for some twenty years or more now (this started before WF was founded and was part of the work of the <i>White Dragon Kindred</i>). We recognised that Woden had a very different aspect than the one most Odinists were aware of; in a way this is due to the role of Odin in the Eddas, a work written down by Christian scribes. The figure of 'Arrow-Od' in one of the sagas comes closest to the 'Wild Man of the Woods' with his coat of bark, and even our own figure of 'Robin Hood' has undergone the subtle mellowing through Hollywood. But, from the various bracteates and images of Woden we find a very different god, a much more primal figure, and even with his 'son' (Wid-Ar) we find a return to the image of the <i>Woodland God. </i>This is the image we developed within WF, the <i>archetype </i>of a primal Barbarian God. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Talking of the 'Serpent-Brain' Woden is not often identified with the Serpent, but in a dream back in 1989 I received the image of a Hooded Serpent (Cobra - which is a symbol of Shiva) and we have the knowledge left from Central America that <i>Votan </i>was of the <i>Race of Chan</i>, a name meaning 'Serpent'. In my own dream Woden was clearly <u>master</u> of this 'Serpent-Force' since he sat before it in complete control. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The above figure shows a Sun-wise directional force, a rotational Serpent-Force; the Sun has often been symbolised or connected to the Serpent. The heads point in the opposite direction, suggesting that this contains a balance of opposite forces, one Sun-wise and one widdershins - against the flow. This is a spiral-force shown in two-dimensional form - a Coiled Serpent. The <i>Fire-Serpent </i>is certainly the key to the awakening of Higher Consciousness, but it may also be the key to the awakening of the Barbarian Consciousness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When we think of Rome we think of empire and civilisation, but Romulus and Remus were 'pirates', they were part of a barbarian tribe who raided and plundered - part of the <i>Heri</i> who 'harried', taking women and plunder as they swept in from the North. They founded Rome. The same goes for Hengest and Horsa who were 'sea-pirates' or 'sea-raiders' who raided and plundered these lands that were civilised by Rome, at a time when Rome was losing its grip on power. The Vikings were the same, called <i>Heri </i>by the 'civilised' and Christian English, raiders and pillagers - Barbarians. The <i>Divine Twins </i>are clearly associated with the Barbarian, and even occur in the legends of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, both of whom, like Romulus, slew a brother or half-brother. We find a dim remembrance of this in the Wuffingas of East Anglia - the 'Sons of the Wolf'. As founders of a tribe or dynasty the Divine Twins are Barbarians. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />The 'Global Empire of Darkness' will fall as surely as Rome fell to the hordes of barbarians from the East and the North. But there are today no 'barbarians' out there to crash down on a global scale, so the energy and drive must come from <u>within</u>. The <i>Archetypal Myth </i>is unravelling, and will come about no matter what the obstacles are. We clearly see a pattern unfolding through the <i>Archetypal Myth of the Horse Twins</i>; one twin dies whilst the other lives on and conquers, true of every one of the pairs mentioned above, though not in all cases does one slay the other. We can in fact see that there was a link between Hengest and AEtla the Hun, apart from the legend of the sword 'Battle-Flame' being passed to Hengest. Hengest's son, Octa, has the name of a nephew of AEtla the Hun - Octha - which can be no coincidence. Associated with the Divine Twins is a Magical Sword - Sword of Victory. The legend is found in the Legend of Attila the Hun.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b>(*) The word 'hurricane' stems from a Central American god name Huracan; the two aspects of the name - 'hura' and 'can' suggest links to some form of Woden ('White God of the Americas') or Votan ('Chan'). Even the name of this clan - 'Chan' - based upon the Serpent, can be related to our Kan-Rune which is itself a 'Serpent-Rune' or 'Dragon-Rune' associated with Fire and Knowledge. The root of 'Kundalini' - </b>kun <b>- can be seen in *kan which is an Indo-European root meaning 'to generate' or 'to kindle', clearly associated with Fire. </b></i></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<br />
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I have covered some of this before on the <i>Inglinga Blog </i>but will look at some important points again to clarify the work that we are doing. To do so we need to consider the concept of the <i>Germanic Mannerbunde </i>who were cultic-brotherhoods made up of young warriors, warriors brought up from an early age within an 'age-set' of young males. The idea of 'discriminating' (which is done throughout this society to serve their ends calling it 'positive discrimination' which, of course, has no meaning whatever) is frowned upon but if men in particular are to regain their <u>true role within society</u> then there is a need to recreate the male-brotherhood (and female sisterhood to serve the female role). Here, though I am discussing the male role only - the Virile Warrior.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The <i>Germanic Mannerbund </i>was not a mere physical entity, it was based upon mind, body and spirit. But there is far more to this than just that, since the young warriors who made up these 'age-sets' belonged to the <i>Kult of the Ancestors </i>and the <i>Kult of the Dead. </i><b style="font-style: italic;">(*) </b>They were <i>Cultic-Warriors </i>and their work was within a ritually-based 'order' or 'secret society' in many ways; this involved invoking the Ancestral Spirits. But even this was not quite what it first seems, for from what evidence we have on this they <u>actually became those fallen heroes, their heroic ancestors</u>. This is hard to understand, until we recognise the hidden nature of the god Woden, for Woden is <i>God of the Dead </i>and the <i>Ancestral God. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Carl Jung recognised the true nature of Woden (Wotan), and also that it was this god that was the driving-force behind Friedrich Nietzsche, even though Nietzsche was a scholar of classical works and had little knowledge of Germanic Lore (or so Jung says). We go to Jung's essay <i>Wotan </i>in order to understand what I am saying here. Jung is talking about the <i>furor teutonicus </i>(<i>'Teuton Fury' </i>we would call it), the <i>furor </i>being a 'psychologizing of Wotan' in the words of Jung. What Jung suggested was that when the leader (<i>Fuhrer </i>- this relating to the term 'fury') is 'possessed' by the <i>Force of Wotan </i>(i.e. he <u>is</u> Wotan or <u>becomes</u> Wotan) then the whole nation (in this case Germany) was 'possessed' by this force, and acted as one being. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The state of being 'seized' or 'possessed' by this force is known as <i>Ergriffenheit</i>, whilst the one who 'seizes' or 'possesses' is called the <i>Ergriffener</i> ('one who is seized'). Jung recognises clearly what this is all about when he compares Wotan to Dionysus, but sees a difference - <i>'Wotan confined himself to the berserkers, who found their vocation as the Blackshirts of mythical kings'. </i>This holds true for the <i>Ulfhedhnar </i>(Wolf-Hides) too, these being more of a 'pack-warrior' than the lone Berserker. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">It seems just as true to say that the young warriors in the Mannerbund were also 'possessed', this time by the Ancestral Spirits. This gave them 'invulnerability' since they were 'seized' by this force, the Woda-Force we shall call it, and thus (in many cases) not only took on the traits of their Ancestors, but as often took up their Tribal Totem which would be a fierce animal such as the Wolf, the Bear or the Boar. All of these Totem Animals were associated with Woden in some way or another, as was the Raven and the Eagle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">To further understand this concept of the 'possession' we need to study the one English Festival that still holds some of the secrets to these Warrior-Kults - the festival of 'Halloween'. This, of course, has not only been distorted over time, but also turned into yet another materialistic occasion there solely to make money out of the gullible 'consumers'. But even this does not hide the underlying meaning, clear by the symbols used -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Weapons such as a sword, axe or trident (Trident of Woden-Shiva), and also the shield.</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The 'skeletal' garb worn by the individual, this being the 'Kult of the Dead'; this was how the <i>Harii </i>were described by Tacitus, as being painted up as the 'skeleton' to scare the enemy, and (more likely) because they <u>saw themselves</u> as the Ancestors, were 'possessed' by the Ancestors. The term 'Harii' does not refer to a tribe, but to the age-set of young warriors who were sent into battle first before the main bulk of the force. Their ferocity would certainly put many an enemy off fighting.</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The connection to 'spirits' which refers to the Ancestral Spirits who, at this particular time of the year - when the veils between the worlds are thin - can enter Midgard and thus 'possess' these Cultic-Warriors. In Hinduism the autumn/winter period was named after the Ancestors, whereas the spring/summer period was named after the Gods. </span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The 'Devil' and his 'Pitchfork' (Trident) form an important part of this since Woden was transformed into 'The Devil' by the Judaeo-Christian church. This is clear when we consider the by-name of Odin/Woden - <i>Nicor </i>(Old English) and <i>Nikuda </i>(Old Norse). This name became 'Saint Nicholas' so as to gain the following of those who worshipped Woden, and then 'Old Nick' became the name of 'The Devil' when they needed to demonise the Old Gods. Woden is the <i>Ancestral God </i>and <i>Lord of the Dead.</i></span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">'Trick or Treat' is not really a modern-day invention since it is today merely a <u>distorted</u> version of the <i>'Steal-Right' </i>whereby the young warriors had the right to steal in order to exist, since they were to be the backbone of the tribes defence and protection. Those who refused them when they asked for something would have some form of 'trick' played on them, but in those times this would be a form of 'punishment' and far more harmful than todays 'tricks'.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The date October 31st is used for this festival, which was originally 'All-Hallows Eve', corrupted to 'Halloween'. The title itself suggests a very 'holy' festival which it certainly was - and still is to the few who hold true to our own heritage and culture. Odinists celebrate November 11th as <i>Einheriar Day </i>and this is the same festival, the dates perhaps changed due to this being 'Armistice Day' (a far later edition) and because the Judaeo-Christian church changed the calender by 11 days, which seems to prove this. We have three clear sections to this festival -</span></div>
<div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">October 31st - 'All-Hallows Eve'.</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">November 5th - Bonfire Night, clearly an ancient Fire-Festival pegged on to the figure of Guy Fawkes (who failed in his mission!)</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">November 9th (Germany) or November 11th (Odinism) is the <i>Einheriar Day </i>related to the 'Fallen Heroes' and their 'resurrection' into Midgard. </span></li>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">These young war-bands, made up of young cultic-warriors, were linked to the wearing of black clothes, and the use of the black flag in some cases. They were also linked to the 'Death's Head' or 'Skull and Bones' which became widespread through use by Special Forces in many lands. This was obviously linked to the 'possession' by the Dead Heroes, the Skull and Bones symbolic of the dead warriors. In many cultures, examples being Persia (Iran) and India, these cultic-warriors were feared and suppressed in some cases; this was because in peaceful times they would have been a bit 'out of place' with their sheer ferocity and wild abandon. Today, in this world falling apart, rife with crime and violence, and devoid of any justice from our arrogant rulers, they have the most important place in any resistance to this oppression. But, like in times past, their role would have to be <u>underground</u> since they too will be the centre of suppression - and yet they <u>will</u> be feared greatly by this sick, liberal society. Fear brings into play further suppression - the game goes on!</span></div>

The Norse god Odin is also called 'Grim' which means 'Mask' and Woden is <i>The Masked One. </i>The 'Death-Mask' is worn as part of this revival of the Germanic Mannerbunde. Below is the <i>Mask of Ygg - The Mask of the Terrible One - </i>also known as 'Ygg's Helm' (AEgishjalm) -</span></div>

It is important that we see this name in connection to Ygg-dra-sil and Woden hanging upon the World Tree - the 'Steed of Ygg'. </span></div>

It will not, and cannot, be made up of young men alone, since this needs some 'mature' input in order to put into this the knowledge gained by years. It will have the aim of bringing into our Folkish Movement more young folk dedicated to a purpose and a cause, and willing to involve themselves in a great struggle for our Folk. That is not to say that this is restricted to the <i>Wolves of Woden </i>because it will not be; in time there will be many more groups springing up on the same lines, all part of the Folkish Movement of Resistance. </span></div>

This society is corrupt, degenerate, decaying, dying, and it is riddled by rampant crime and injustice. We do not wish to be seen as part of this type of rotten society, a society on the brink of disaster. This society is 'anti-Nature' and it is 'anti-Man' and the need to become broken from its chains seems rather obvious, if we wish our people to survive. Our aim is to lead by example, to show others that there is an alternative way to live today, even if this is done at a minimal level at the outset. But the aim must be to get away altogether when things turn on their head - which they will. We need to be prepared. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Since we founded WF on April 23rd 1998 we have grown organically through attracting new active workers who have themselves heard the <i>'Call of the Blood'. </i>This cannot be understood in physical terms, nor in the usual sense of the term 'mental', because we see the <i>Sacred Blood </i>as being just that - 'sacred' - and not just in physical terms but also at a spiritual level. It is quite possible, and proven to us, that certain people do hear a 'calling' and contact us through this, even though this never occurred to them before. Some come through 'accidentally' finding us online even though they were not really looking for anything in particular. 'From a word to a word, let thee be led to a word' - it is the written 'word' that stirs something within the <i>Blood</i> or more precisely the <i>Blood Memory. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I have shown before how it is quite possible for a group of individuals to come together for a specific purpose, in this case the struggle we have undertaken on Midgard. And this can be extended to the idea that these individuals have done this before, in a previous time of the Cosmic Cycles. The same group can incarnate at the same time, and this is specifically true of a period prior to the coming of an <i>Avatar</i> since the ground has to be laid before He can appear. It is usually some form of Seer or Prophet that heralds this coming, and around this figure grows a 'following' in the form of like-minded people who have the same type of work, though differing in form but not in essence. There may, and no doubt will be, more than one Seer/Prophet who foresees what is about to come into being, and this is certainly true of today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">We should not make the mistake of seeing an 'Avatar' as the same as a 'Folk-Leader', though one individual can take both roles, as has been proven to us. The 'Folk-Leader' arises in the time of the direst need of his nation, but an Avatar appears at a particular time of the Cosmic Cycle - when the alignment of the stars is right. Even at such a time, many leaders can (and do) arise from different nations in order to aid the Avatar in His great work. In some way or another these people hear the <i>Call of the Blood</i> and. more importantly, they act upon it, taking up a Divine Mission or Destiny.</span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">In ancient times the Ancestors were deemed of the greatest importance, and various myths and legends tell us of heroes or kings consulting their Ancestors through <i>Utiseti </i>which refers to 'sitting out' on a burial mound to consult with an Ancestor. This works in two ways, since the 'spirit' of the ancestor dwells where he is buried; but the blood that flows through our veins is also the same blood as that which flowed through our forebears, and contains the <i>Blood Memory </i>which can be awakened <u>from within</u>. This is how important Ancestral Worship can be, and which has been laid aside in modern 'paganism' and 'wicca'. To have this Ancestral Worship one must firmly believe in the concept of 'Sacred Blood' and also in 'race' since this is the criteria for the 'Blood Memory' to be saved in a pure way, or as pure as we can get it today. 'Race', of course, does not come into the modern world, and thus 'paganism' and 'wicca' can never by the 'Old Religion' since it cannot connect to the Ancestors. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The name 'Halloween' and thus 'All-Hallows' stems from the <i>Old English *hal </i>meaning 'hale' or 'healthy', referring back to the <i style="font-weight: bold;">IE Root *kailo </i>which means 'whole' or 'wholesome'. This is thus a festival bringing some form of 'wholeness', in this case through the <u>reintegration</u> of the Ancestral Spirits into the tribe or group. The Old English <i>*halgian </i>means 'to hallow', 'to consecrate' or 'to bless' and thus this festival is seen as a very holy festival, bringing a wholeness to the tribe. </span><br />

<span face="verdana, sans-serif"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The concept of wholeness and holiness is rooted in the Haegl-Rune or the Hagal-Rune (shown above) which is a glyph of the balance of opposites formed into one 'whole' symbol. This rune is also made up of the Life-Rune (Eolhs) and the Death-Rune (Calc) both of which have the form of the 'pitchfork' or 'trident' which is an important symbol in Halloween. The Holly-Tree and the Hollyhock both have roots in this rune-meaning, and neither of these are given much importance even though the names suggest otherwise. </span></span></div>

The last part seems perhaps to connect to Wuldor (Ullr) who is certainly the 'winter' aspect of Woden and also a 'Wolf-God' as well as a 'Ski-God' in the Far North. The runes A-L-U suggest Ancestor - Blood - Primal, and in the 'ALU' chant Troy produced the runes were used in this way. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The Hooded Man </i>is the 'Son of Herne', the 'Son of Woden', because Herne the Hunter is <i>Herian </i>or <i>Woden Herian. </i>The name 'Herian' stems from an <i style="font-weight: bold;">IE Root *herilaz </i>which means 'to raid', 'to plunder' and of course ' to go viking'. Tacitus records a Germanic Cult-Brotherhood called the <i>Harii </i>whose name relates to this, and who were a <i>Kult of the Dead</i>, masked to look like the skeleton, to invoke fear in an enemy at night - they fought in the Darkness of Night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Herne or <i>Woden Herian </i>is the God of the Wild Hunt, the One-Eyed Wild Hunter-God, the Wolf-God, the most Primal God of our Germanic Folk. <i>Herian </i>is also related to <i>Aryan </i>and thus to the <i>Barb-Aryan - </i>the 'Bearded Aryan'. <i>The Hooded Man </i>is 'Robin i' the Hood' or 'Robin Hood' whose Old English name actually means 'Fame-Bright Hood', the word 'hood' being a kenning for 'Darkness - Robin Hood means 'Light & Darkness'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Woden is the <i>Fury-God </i>since his name actually means 'divine intoxication', 'divine madness', 'fury' - he is the God of the <i>Teuton Fury. </i>But, as Carl Jung rightly stated, he is also the 'God of Stillness' and the 'God of Silence' in his meditative, prophetic role as the <i>Seer </i>and the <i>Wise Old Man. </i>He has <u>both sides of the coin</u>. He is the Light and the Darkness in complete balance and harmony, which makes him the 'All-Father'. He is Fire & Ice - the balance of opposites held within one figure, Apollo and Dionysus. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The name 'Woden' is only pronounced as we spell it today in its <u>exoteric</u> use, since it should really be pronounced <b>'uuoden' </b>the 'w' being just that, a double 'u'. The sound would thus be not unlike the Scandinavian 'Odhin' with the 'd' sounded half-way between a 'd' and a 'th' (as in 'the'). The name is from <i style="font-weight: bold;">wod </i>meaning 'furious', 'intoxicated', 'divine madness' and <b>-en/-an </b>which means 'master of' - the <i style="font-weight: bold;">Master of Wod</i>. The 'wod' is the <u>force</u> and Woden is the 'master' of that force - he controls that force. Thus, although this would appear to be a chaotic force in fact Woden has mastered this force, is able to use this force, and through us he is able to use it against the enemies of Folk and Gods - the Joten. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Robin Hood is the most famous English Folk-Hero, the English Hero who fought against oppression and tyranny. He is a <i>Wolf's Head </i>who dwelt in the wildwood, the wild forests of England, where he fought against the Norman Barons and the growing power of the Judaeo-Christian Church which was taking swathes of land from the people. This is not the 'Robin Hood' of Hollywood, but the <i>Archetypal Folk-Hero</i>, the <i>Archetypal Wolf's Head </i>who sacrifices his own life for those of his people. Of course, the name 'Woden' is also associated with 'wood' and with the forests of England, for he is the <i>Woodland God</i>, and his Son - Wid-Ar the Avenger - is the <i>Woodland God, </i>the 'Spirit of the Greenwood'. This concept is that of the 'Wildman of the Wood'. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Robin Hood can also be compared with Wid-Ar, since the latter is the <i>God of Resistance </i>(his name means just that - 'to resist'). The Wolf-Hook Rune is the <i>Rune of Resistance</i> and the <i>Rune of Wid-Ar</i>, it is a most powerful rune together with the <i>Black Sun </i>and the <i>Fylfot-Swastika</i>. The Wolf-Hook Rune is an adaptation of the <i>Eh(waz)-Rune</i>, which itself gives the <i style="font-weight: bold;">IE Root *aiw-</i> meaning 'Vital Force', 'Eternity', 'Youth', 'Life-Force'. The rune is the <i>Yew-Tree </i>which is the 'Tree of Waendal', a very ancient (1,600 years old) Yew-Tree in the churchyard at Wilmington, just below the 'Long Man' (Waendal) being the tree of this god - the 'April Fool'. He is Woden in his guise as the wild force of abandon that 'springs' up at the end of the Winter, into the Spring. This hill-figure is the <i>Light </i>aspect, and the Herne Giant (Cerne Abbas Giant) is the <i>Dark </i>aspect - the latter being the Wild Hunter-God (the figure is that of 'The Joker' shown on the Arms of the Wendal Family). </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Hamasson has shown how the Wolf-Hook Rune shows the constellation of Orion the Hunter (Winter Constellation), and the figure of the Herne Giant (once known by the Saxons as <i>'Heil'</i>) is that of Orion, as the figure itself shows clearly (the 'nipples' are offset as the top stars in Orion). The figure of a god holding a <i style="font-weight: bold;">club</i> can be found on the <i>Horns of Gallehus</i>, and this is the most ancient God of the Germanic Mannerbund - the Cultic Warrior-Brotherhoods of Germania. This god is the most Primal God, and when we consider the Greek <i>Orion </i>and its phonetic sound to <i>Ur-ion (Ur-AEon) </i>this takes us back into the far distant, most ancient past. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">From the very start, when Woden's Folk was formed back in 1998, we stood by our pledge to build a Folkish Movement around the concept of the 'Balance of Light and Darkness', with Woden as our guide and seer. The twin sides of Woden are of extreme importance, and bound to these two sides is the aim of creating the <i>Warrior-Thinker </i>- the 'cultured thug' of Lord Byron, the idea revived by the late Jonathon Bowden. Most groups contain either the 'thug' or the 'thinker', but our aim was to create a <i>'New Man' </i>who would be both 'Warrior' and 'Thinker' at the same time, in other words, would contain within himself the 'Balance of Light and Darkness'. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">I cannot over-stress the importance of the promotion of the <i>Woden Folk-Religion </i>through the spread of the <i>Woden Folk-Community. </i>Ours is a <u>religion</u> (stemming from a meaning 'to bond') and we need a Folk-Religion to bind our Folk together in their hour of greatest danger. The <i>Woden Folk-Community </i>is the <u>exoteric</u> side, whilst <i>Woden's Folk </i>now takes on the role of the <u>esoteric</u> arm, working through the <i>Wolves of Woden </i>here in the South of England. Both of these 'arms' are as important as the other, and here again we have to keep a <u>balance</u>. It was necessary that we promote the exoteric side as much as possible, and we did not overlook the esoteric side, but as time went on this needed more emphasis, hence the reason for the changes being made this month (August 2018). </span></div>

We have a <u>purpose</u> to our lives, a 'Divine Mission' given to us by The Gods, by Woden who guides our moves upon Midgard. We recognise in the concept of Valhalla that there is not just 'One Life - Live It', a concept of extreme selfishness and self-importance, as opposed to the <u>self-sacrifice for the Folk</u> which is the basis of our life's work. The Divine Heroes (Weras) go to Valhalla as the <i>Einheriar </i>where they train, die and are resurrected, drink and feast with the Gods, and are then 'resurrected' - at will - in order to reincarnate upon Earth (Midgard) to continue the Eternal Struggle. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The symbol itself is that of the <i>Wyn-Rune </i>(Rune of Woden in his aspect of the 'Wish-Lord', 'Lord of the Wild Army', 'Lord of the Wild Hunt') and the <i>Gyfu-Rune </i>('Gift-Rune'). The Wyn-Rune is also the 'Tribal Banner' and this harks back to the ancient Aryan Tribalism we often speak of. Gwyn/Wyn is the name of the 'Celtic' Wild Hunter-God - Gwyn ap Nydd ('Wyn - Son of the Mist'). 'Nydd' can be seen in a Germanic form as 'Nyd' - the 'Need-Rune' - which itself is a 'Rune of Death' (as seen by the Armanen Masters). 'Wyn' also means 'white' as in 'wan' ('pale') and this god gives his name to Gwynedd in North Wales, the ancient land of the 'Fair Angles' who dwelt in Gwynedd and Anglesey (Angle's Island). 'Wyn - Son of Death' is the meaning of the 'Death's Head' or <i>Totenkoft</i> and is symbolic of the One-Eyed Wolf-God, Woden. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This version of the Odal-Rune (Edel-Rune) shows the 'Balance of Light and Darkness' in the same symbol, the White Sun and the Black Sun. It is the <i>Rune of Blood and Soil </i>which is a statement that <u>always</u> evokes criticism, but since the <b>truth</b> shall prevail in the end we shall continue to use this phrase, which is the <u>right</u> phrase to use for this rune. 'God in Nature - God in the Blood'. Another meaning of the name 'Woden' stems from the <i style="font-weight: bold;">Germanic Root *wuot </i>which means 'all-pervasive' or 'all-penetrating' and refers to the 'Life-Force' that pervades everything within the Nine Worlds. This also relates to <i style="font-weight: bold;">*wod- </i>which is the 'energy' the 'Fiery Energy' that pervades the Nine Worlds. The Odal-Rune - the 'Double Sig-Rune' now becomes the White Sun-Black Sun in balance and harmony within one symbol, the symbol of <i>Blood and Land. </i>The colours are Black-White-Red, the alchemical colours of transformation and of the 'resurrection' of Folk and Land. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The Valknut is the Walk-Knot - the 'Wolf-Knot' - which shows the Nine Worlds which form a <u>wholeness</u> within one symbol; they are not separate worlds, but worlds that are interconnected, everything interconnected through the <i>Web of Wyrd. </i>The 'Wolf-Knot' binds the Woden Initiate to the god Woden - the Wolf-God, the most ancient One-Eyed God of Germania. The Sacred Number 9 is the most important number in Wodenic Lore; it is the Sacred Spiral which our enemies oppose through its opposite - 6. Nine is <u>completion</u> since it is the last number in the sequence - our enemies changed this to 10 which is not the 'complete' but is a new sequence (1 -) We should count in 'nines' rather than 'tens' which we have been programmed to do <b><i>(*)</i></b>. This is not something 'trivial' since we have it on record that Nikolai Tesla worked with the Sacred Numbers 3 - 6 - 9 with whatever he did. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This figure is said to be 'Cernunnos' which is a name found in Gaul; the Gundestrap Cauldron was found in Denmark, Scandinavia, and deemed to be 'Scythian' rather than 'Celtic'. The figure is that of Herne the Hunter, clutching a Snake and a Torc, the Torc being the neck-ring which is symbolic of the <i>Hang-Man's Noose </i>and thus that of Woden-Herne as 'God of the Hanged'. A Christian Priest recorded that the Saxons in Devon worshipped an 'Erminseul' (Irminsul) and the Stag and the Snake, fitting very well with the figure of Herne the Hunter shown here. The pose is not that of Woden in his role as the 'Fury-God' (Furor), but in his role as the <u>passive</u> mode as seer and 'Wise Old Man' - clear from the 'yogic' type of posture he holds. In this role he is also 'Lord of the Animals' as seen here where he is surrounded by animals. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The importance of Herne the Hunter is that he is the most <i>Primal and Ancient One. </i>He is the 'Horned God' known by all Indo-European Peoples, going back to the figure of Rudra-Shiva in India where, despite views to the contrary, he was an <i>Aryan God</i>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">In the 'Robin of Sherwood' series, from which this prophecy originates, though <u>not exactly in the form that I was given in a dream</u>, <i>The Fool </i>of the Tarot Pack is equated with 'The Hooded Man'. This is indeed correct since it later became clear that the <i>Long Man of Wilmington </i>- an aspect of Woden - is linked to <i>The April Fool</i> as I found back in 1997. Woden is 'The Hooded One' which comes out in the 'Hooden Horse' featured in certain 'Mumming Plays' in Kent. At least three Wodenists (including myself) have had dreams or waking visions of a hooded figure which has a 'Black Void' where the face should be. This is Woden as 'The Hooded One'; in my own dream he was clearly 'Lord of the Dead' and had a Red Hood and Red Flag. He is the 'Grim Reaper' in this aspect, a by-name of Odin being 'Grim'. This is the 'Dark Side' of the god Woden.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">As with most things today, the figures of 'Robin Hood' and 'Herne the Hunter' have been 'toned down' in the 1980s TV series, and Herne becomes a kindly old man rather than the Wild Hunter-God. This follows from the 'Hollywood' stuff on the subject, and also the whole thing is turned upside down as the 'Wolves of Fenris' are attributed to Odin, who is nowhere linked to Herne the Hunter. Odin is basically the 'bad guy' here and Herne the 'good guy'; we should not be surprised since, as I have stated in several articles on the <i>Inglinga Blog</i> the Great Enemy uses the tactics of <u>division</u> and thus the one figure bearing the <u>balance</u> of Light and Darkness is turned into two distinct and separate <u>opposites</u>, working against each other rather than in harmony. This may also be true of Tolkien's <i>Lord of the Rings </i>which at least in part has the same type of theme. Gandalf is the 'good guy' (Light) and Saruman is the 'bad guy' (Darkness). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The Vedas and the Eddas are clear on the nature of the true duality and that is the Eternal War between the Forces of Order, Oneness and Harmony, and the Forces of Division, Chaos and Disharmony. Most of the gods are a balance between God and Joten, and this is how it must be, since they need to know their enemy and only though an 'inner knowing' can they do this. <i>The Hooded Man </i>wields the sword <i>Albion </i>which holds the <u>balance of Light and Darkness</u> within its blade. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">What is a 'shadow'? A shadow is 'darkness', but it is formed through 'light' striking a physical object. It is created by the Power of Light. When the light strikes a physical object it cannot go though it, so a 'shadow' is cast on the other side, a 'shadow' that is a kind of 'Dark Double' of the object. Thus, the Power of Light creates the shadow which is made of the 'Power of Darkness'. As the object moves, the shadow moves in unison with it; it can thus be said to be a 'double' of the object.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The 'Shadow-Warrior' cannot really be seen as partaking of the 'darkness' since it is 'light' that creates this form. The shadow or 'Dark Double' is that which cannot be <u>recognised</u> since it is basically <u>formless</u>, as opposed to the object creating the shadow which can be clearly seen in the light of day. This the <i>Shadow-Warrior </i><u>moves in secret without being recognised for what he is</u>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><i>'In the Days of the Lion, spawned of the Evil Brood, The Hooded Man shall come to the forest. There he will meet with Herne the Hunter - Lord of the Trees - to be his Son and do his bidding. The Power of Light and the Power of Darkness shall be strong within him. And the guilty shall tremble!'</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The man in the 'hood' cannot be seen; he is in the 'shadow' of the hood; within him is the 'Power of Light and the 'Power of Darkness', which lies within the blade of Albion - the Sword of The Hooded Man. The 'Father' and the 'Son' are one and the same; Herne is the 'guide' and The Hooded Man the wielder of his Sword. The Hooded Man is 'Robin i' the Hood' - the 'Light in the Darkness'. We live in the Age of Darkness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">We can - and we must - build that <i>Shadow-Warrior</i>; as 'solitaries' we must <u>act</u>, and through our <u>actions</u> we carry on the struggle for our Folk and for our freedom. In doing so we need to understand the meaning of <i>The Hooded Man Prophecy </i>and how it relates to the education and the training of the individual. It contains the simple concept of the <u>balance of opposites</u> within a whole, within an individual. We have this balance within the Ancient Runes, each one being formed of Fire (Ken) and Ice (Is). This balance, in itself, suggests a <u>third</u>, and since each rune is different, and varies in the balance of Fire and Ice, then each rune has been <u>created</u> from this mixture and balance. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">In Nature we find this <u>balance of Light and Darkness</u> occurs at a particular time, and that time is at Dawn and Dusk, and at the Summer Evennight and the Winter Evennight. At these particular times, and these alone, the balance of Light and Darkness can be found; these are also known as 'liminal' points of the year, since they are <u>neither</u> light nor dark, <u>neither</u> one nor the other. We could say that this situation produces a 'third' in that at Dawn the balance of Light and Darkness produces the Light, and at Dusk the balance of Light and Darkness produces the Darkness. The same goes for the Summer Evennight which produces the Light and the Winter Evennight which produces the Darkness. At each point one of these opposites grows stronger, whilst the other grows weaker. But what causes this to happen - the <u>cyclic movement of time</u>. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">There is a <u>cyclic</u> movement of Light to Darkness, and from Darkness to Light; thus a circle is formed through this process. </span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The Yin-Yang Symbol of Taoism contains this balance of Light and Darkness; within each is a 'dot' which is symbolic of each containing the 'seed' of its opposite. This symbol can be related to two distinct times of the year - the White + Black Dot being Midsummer, and the Black + White Dot being Midwinter. The whole shows a <u>cyclic movement</u> from one to the other, a never ending cycle of Light & Darkness. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The symbolism is also inherent in the new WF Logo; here there is a Dark Period and a Light Period, and the cyclic nature of the whole is found in the Solar Image - the circle containing the Light & Darkness. In each section there is a white within the black, and black within the white. Within this new logo there is this balance of Light and Darkness which is the central feature of Folkish Wodenism. It is the <u>movement</u> between the Light and Darkness that creates the whole, the <i>Heildom. </i>This is the same for the individual.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The symbol of this balance is the sword <i>Albion </i>which is the 'Sword of Light' (since its name can mean 'white'). Paradoxically, within the blade is contained the Powers of Light and Darkness. This is the Power to Create and the Power to Destroy. The name 'Albion' also relates to the term <i>elf</i> and thus to the idea of 'shining'. Often the sword was referred to as a 'brand' or 'fire-brand'; the Sword of Hengest was known as the 'Battle-Flame' (hildeleoman). The sword can be used to create, as when a new nation is created through conquest and war; it can be used to destroy, as when the Roman Empire was put to the sword by the Germanic Barbarians from the North. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">We are told in <i>Beowulf </i>how Hengest became 'World-Ruler', taking up the Wyrd of AEtla the Hun, and that this came about after the winter had ended and the spring begun, i.e. at the time of the balance of Light and Darkness at the Summer Evennight. AEtla the Hun had reached the gates of Rome after crushing the Roman Empire; his 'Wyrd' passed to Hengest whose forces took on the falling Roman Empire here in Britain, warring against the alien religion that was spreading across the Germanic Tribes of England. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The sword contains the balance of Light and Darkness, and as such is 'neutral'; the force that is unleashed within this sword is done so through an ideology, an ideal, a <u>purpose</u>. It is this <u>purpose</u> that releases such forces within this symbolism. It is the same within the <i>Shadow-Warrior </i>because all of the education and training will come to nothing without a clear ideology, an ideal, and a <u>purpose</u>, the Will-to-Power. And above all - the will-to-overcome, the will to create the <i>Superman. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">This in itself negates the claim of our enemies that everything we do is down to 'hate'; there is no 'hate' in this, there is only the <u>highest form of love</u>. When mankind domesticated the horse and the dog he did so in a primitive form of this <u>love</u>, though in reality it was done at a selfish level since the aim was not the perfection of these animals, but for their use by mankind. So, when the aim is to strive for the perfection of mankind this can never be down to any selfish cause, but to the highest form of love - the love of mankind. Surely, the overcoming of man, and the creation of a Higher Man, is the only thing that will stop the suffering upon the Earth, and the only way that the Earth can be healed - by recreating man so that he is harmony with the Earth and does not destroy it. 'Be true to the Earth' was one of the most fundamental points that Nietzsche taught. (I speak here of the aim of <i>spiritualising</i> the Earth through the creation of a <i>Higher Man.</i>)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Most people are not aware of the energy that the Sun gives to us all; the Sun's energy is contained in everything that we eat, since food stores up this energy from the Sun. The air that we breath contains this Solar Energy, and the Vitamin D from the Sun's Rays we cannot do without. We absorb all of this energy during the day, during the sunlight, and at night this is stored and the body replenishes it. It is this Light that creates the 'Shadow'. The 'Shadow' can only exist because of the Light. This is the essence of the ancient <i>Solar Race - </i>the <i>Arya. </i>The runes are the key to this balance of Light and Darkness, each containing its polar-opposite meaning. Each contains Fire and Ice. Each is the play of the Forces of Light and the Forces of Darkness. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Germination takes place in the <u>darkness</u>, seeds need the dark to germinate; creation takes place in the darkness. The creation of the <i>Shadow-Warrior </i>will take place in the darkness. Growth needs the light; for anything to grow it needs the Light of the Sun. It is the Solar Energy that makes things grow. It is this Solar Energy that makes us grow stronger and stronger. We are at the point of the balance of Light and Darkness, and all that is needed to push this towards the Light is <u>movement and energy</u> - the will-to-overcome. There are three powers needed for creation -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Woden - ecstacy, divine madness, fury.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Will - the Will.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Weoh - Holiness and Godliness, the Divine Element.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Consciousness, Awareness and Will are the three elements of Creation; when there are two forces - Light and Darkness - in balance within the individual from this can be found the third force. It is this <i>Third Force</i> that is necessary to create a change since equal and opposite forces create a static point where only a <i>Third Force </i>can alter this, and this can only be done by a force and energy that moves in one direction. This force has to be the strongest, and it is this that we have to find within us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">The creation of the <i>Shadow-Warrior </i>will take place in the darkness, in the darkest era of this Cycle of the Ages. It will be the <i>Light of the Black Sun </i>that will form the 'shadow' and not the 'Light of the Golden Sun'. In our hour of greatest need, in the hour of greatest darkness, the world shall give birth to the <i>Shadow-Warrior. </i>You 'solitaries' who have opted out of this society, who have chosen yourselves to become 'lone-wolves', you are today a 'shadow', a form that is formless, not recognised, not recognisable, for your time is not yet, it is coming, it is <u>becoming</u>. Everything is in a state of Becoming. </span></div>

<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Start at the central point in and take
the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Feoh-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance; you should
take a short fighting-stance for this,
with the arms straight, pointing
slightly upwards, and hands open.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Step forwards, at the same time lifting
the left open-hand straight upwards,
palm facing to the right; at the same
time the right hand goes across the
face )palm facing forwards/outwards
and make the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ur-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stave, crossing
the upright left-hand as a +-cross.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The left foot now steps forwards into
a form of ready-stance facing to your
right; at the same time the left arm
swings downwards, elbow bent, into a
side-elbow strike to the left of you
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">(i.e. ‘forwards’ in regard to the
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">movements before). You will now be
facing to the right in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thorn-Rune
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This is the first and forward
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">‘arm’ of the Fylfot.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Step the left foot forward into a short
fighting-stance as you throw the left
arm out in a </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tarn Sau</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">or open-hand
block-strike with the right hand
making a straight-forward finger-
strike to the solar-plexus area. You
will now be in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Os-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The right foot now moves up level
with the left (feet together), then the
left moves forward again; pivot to the
left as your right hand makes a
circular downwards and outwards

</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">block and the right leg is raised up at
the knee; stamp down to your right
with the right leg. You will now be in
the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Rad-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">position. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You will now
be at the end of the first bent arm of
the Fylfot.
</span></span></div>
<ol start="6" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pivot again, to your left, stepping the
right leg forward as you do a right
open-hand strike to the throat area;
you will land in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ken-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">position.
The step will be made as the open-
hand strike is made, and this will be
reinforced by shuffling the left leg
forward behind the right.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now step the right leg towards the
direction you were facing, but turn
sideways to the left and throw both
arms in a circular motion across the
chest, ending in a double hammer-
strike with each closed fist, and your
feet in a wide horse-stance. The
movement of the right leg should not
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">just be a ‘step’ but a </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stamp
downwards. You will now be in the
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Gyfu-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This takes you
back to the end position of the first
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">‘arm’ of the Fylfot.
</span></span></div>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now take the right leg across the left
leg (making an X-Cross) still facing the
same way, and then take another
half-step (one shoulder-width) the
same way; at the same time bring the
left arm across the face in a kind of
elbow-strike/block to your left. You
will now be in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Wyn-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance.
</span></span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This will take you to the end of the First Arm
before you reach the central point again,
where the next move starts. You should now
familiarise yourself with this part completely
before you move to the next arm.

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

you to the left, and pivot round,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Step the right foot outwards in the
same direction you were moving; as
you do so fling the arms out, right
upwards with an open-hand strike,
left downwards in an open-hand
strike. The feet will come together at
the end of the move and you will be
in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Nyd-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">position.

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The left leg now moves forwards in

</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">the right so that you are facing
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">‘forwards’ again; at the same time the
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">arms are brought up, palms together,
pushed upwards until they end over
the head in an </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Is-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">stance </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">– </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">feet
together. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You will now be at the end
of the Second Arm.

<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now step out to your right with the
right foot, followed by the left in a
fighting-stance; the two hands push
backwards behind you fingers facing
each other, looking backwards over
the left shoulder. You will now be in
the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ger-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">position.

</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Step one pace forwards in the same
direction, left foot forwards; the right
foot is brought up behind your back in
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">a ‘back</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">-</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">kick’ upwards (groin), and the
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">right arm thrust forwards in a finger-
strike to the groin area in front. You
will now be in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Eoh-Rune </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">position.
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This take you to the end of the
straight-arm.

</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Lift the right arm up and us it to
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">‘swing’ around 90</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; vertical-align: 4pt;">o</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, ending the move
facing behind you and striking with an
open-hand strike with the right hand,
the right leg being used as a knee-
strike. You will now be in the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Peorð-

follows, ending with feet together;
the arms come together, palms facing </span></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">each other, and push forwards,

upwards at 45</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; vertical-align: 4pt;">o </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">angle, the right leg
also coming up making a </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sigel-Rune

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You should familiarize yourself with both the
First Arm and Second Arm, putting the two
together as one. When you have done so you
can move to the next section of the form, but
do not do so until this section is learned
properly.

</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">head level, whilst the right leg comes
up into a side-knee strike. You will

into a double-groin strike. This makes
the Gifu-Rune/Ing-Rune sequence of
the Gar-Rune. The knees are then
bent down to form a Germanic Ing-

outwards as far as possible, and the
hands are brought down in an X-Cross

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">This is a fairly well known runic formula found on a funeral
urn in Norfolk using a form of bind-rune system made up of the runes
Ansuz-Laguz-Uruz and their reflection. However, few seem to know what exactly
this was used for, though we do have it that it was on a funeral urn and must
have something to do with the dead. My interest in these runes was fuelled by a
short article by Stephen McNallen of the Asatru Folk Assembly (Vinland) who was
writing about the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Three Cauldrons </i>named
in Norse Mythology as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Odroerir, Son and
Bodn. </i>His interest was sparked by the discovery of an Irish poem called the
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cauldron of Poesy </i>which itself
mentions three cauldrons which are associated with some form of spiritual
philosophy. For myself I was also aware that the Chinese had knowledge of three
cauldrons within their Tantric Lore, and that these were power-centres of the
human body. If we see the three vessels <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Odroerir,
Son and Bodn </i>as being the same as these then the Norse-Germanic Folk had a
very similar concept. When I read Stephen McNallen’s work it struck me straight
away that he linked the three runes – Ansuz-Laguz-Uruz – with these three
power-centres of the human form. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Firstly we need to look at the three runes and their
meanings, in order to get an idea of what this formula means –<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Ancestral God; it is also the rune of the Ancestors. The rune-name can also be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As </i></b>or
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Aesc
</i></b>which represents the Ash-Tree, and thus again the Ancestral Tree. From
this we can gleam that the formula has something to do with the Ancestors and
maybe even to the Ancestral Memory. Strangely enough science has just
‘discovered’ what we already knew, that memory is passed from generation to
generation and can thus be regained – which goes some way to explain the
phenomena of ‘reincarnation’ banded about by some modern pagans. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

the glyph is that of a wave or of a fountain which suggests water in motion. In
this context we need to consider that this can be a lake, the sea, rivers,
streams and brooks, and that the ‘rivers, streams and brooks’ of the human
bodies are what the blood flows through, and thus the rune can also symbolise
the blood. There is an alternative rune-name – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Laukaz </i></b>– which means
‘leek’ and which is associated with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Warrior

is a fierce beast of the moors which once roamed Germania; it is symbolic of
strength and virility. The name means <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ur-Ox </i></b>which is the ‘Primal Ox’. An
alternative name is ‘drizzle’ which has also a significant meaning that we
shall look into later in this work. The prefix <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ur- </i></b>refers to something
that is ‘primal’ and thus to the origins of something, but this also contains
the concept of the ‘destiny’ too – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Origins

name ‘Kvasir’ equates to a term meaning ‘spittle’ which in ancient times was
used as a <u>fermenting agent</u>. So we are immediately aware that this is an <u>intoxicating
drink</u> made of honey, but also perhaps of mind-altering herbs. Here we need
to consider that the use of mind-altering brews came about after certain parts
of the human brain atrophied or went out of use, and thus an artificial means
was used to regain to some extent a lost form of consciousness. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

the possession of the Jötun through Suttung, whose daughter guarded it within <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Knit Mountain. </i>Woden had a hole bored

shape-shifted into a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Serpent </i></b>in order to get through the

aided him in gaining the mead and then escaping, which he did through
shape-shifting into an <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Eagle</i></b>. Straight away we can see that
this is a typical <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tantric Rite </i></b>where the Serpent (earth-bound) is transmuted into

contains power-centres of the human body which can be opened and produce a

‘brooks’ just like the movement of water around the land. It is also associated
with the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blood-Memory </i></b>which is the seat of the memory passed from
generation through generation in the human genes. But it can also be seen as

– <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Race-Memory</i></b>.
The heart is the pump for the blood, and is responsible for the movement of the
blood around the body, but it is also the seat of consciousness as much as that
of the human brain – a little-known fact today. There are so many old sayings
that tell us this and these should be meditated upon. It is also associated

the Third Eye (Odrœrir) where the male-female force is conjoined in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sacred Marriage </i>(HE/SHE of Don Miguel

today in a state of ‘sleep’ but which can be awakened through the use of these <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Three Cauldrons </i>and a noble life-style –
one’s actions are just as important as undertaking ‘spiritual exercises’. The
33 runes go from top to bottom – Feoh to Gar – which fits with the sequence
24-5-4 – with the last four runes (Cweorth-Calc-Stan-Gar) being the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Four

Irminsul, where we find the Serpent (base) with an Eagle (top) having a
Hawk-Falcon between the Eyes (Third Eye). The Third Eye is linked to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pineal Gland </i>which is like a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pine-Cone </i>(as the name suggests), and
this area of the brain is also known as the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hippocampus

thus scientific knowledge once again begins to discover what the ancients

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">To recap and to take further the aims of the use of these
three power-centres or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Three Cauldrons</i>
we need to consider that the main-stream religions and mainstream spiritual
disciplines, including what is termed ‘wicca’ and ‘paganism’, in the main seem
to have the aim of the ‘Union with the One’, ‘Union with God’, Union with the
All’, ‘Cosmic Consciousness’, ‘Union with Nature’ or other terms like
‘Samadhi’, which refers to the <u>loss of the ego</u> and the fusion with the
‘One’ or ‘Cosmic Consciousness’. Throughout history, and through various
different traditions, there has been a far more hidden and secret teaching
which was known in India by the term <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kaivalia </i></b>which means ‘separation’.
Whereas Samadhi means the merging of the individual consciousness into the
Primal Soup (Primal Chaos) and thus the total loss of individuality, Kaivalia
takes the process as far as the point of union of the HE-SHE (Serrano) or
ER-ERCE (Wodenism) and goes <u>beyond this point</u> to cross the abyss (The
Void-Black Sun-Black Hole-Ginnungagap) strengthening the ego into the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Absolute
I </i></b>and thus creating the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Awakened
Man – The Superman</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

‘reincarnation’ and will now show why I have done this, since there is an
important mystery that has not be really understood about the concept of
‘reincarnation’. In order to understand this we need to consider the place
known as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Valhalla </i>and those who abide
there – the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Einheriar. </i>Valhalla is
not a place of ‘paradise’ and ‘peace’ since we are told that it is a <u>training-ground
for the Fallen Hero-Warriors</u> who fight and fall and then rise again to
feast with the Gods. It is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hall of
the Fallen Warriors</i> where they train ready for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ragnarok </i>and will be lead out of Valhalla by Woden and by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ragnar

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">There is no logic in seeing the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Einheriar </i>as being every soldier who dies in battle, as is usually
thought, for in the wars of the last 100 years, unknowingly in most cases but
knowingly in some cases, some soldiers fought against their own gods, just as
has happened in vary ancient times – as recorded in Norse Mythology where the
wiles of Loki the Deceiver caused so many disastrous conflicts between Gods and
Elves and also in the world of Men. The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Einheriar
</i>are those who fight the Holy War for Gods and Men against the Jötun, and
are thus <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">resurrected</i></b> throughout the ages – again and again – in order to
fight this Eternal Struggle. That the Vikings left us an account of Valhalla
and the role of the Einheriar is significant in view of my ideas put forward in
other sources.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I have had to go off the track slightly in order to point out
the difference between the mass of people and the Warrior-Hero-Elite which were
once known as the ‘Twice-Born’ or the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arya</i></b>. It was through the destruction
of these Elite Warrior-Kings and Æthlingas through revolutions, wars and
through replacing them through the power of money, that the Dark Jöten has
gained control of the world. Much is made of the physical means to counter this
but without a Spiritual Revolution this will be of no avail. I have looked at
the runic formula ALU but the bulk of the work here has been related to ULA
which is the movement of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fire-Serpent
</i>from the base upwards. Miguel Serrano states that the movement should also
be from the top <u>downwards</u> which is indeed true, since this is the <u>spiritualisation
of matter and of the Earth</u>. The idea of an upwards-downwards movement of
this Vital Energy is underlined by the figure of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ratatosk </i>in Norse Myth, who runs up and down the World Tree
communicating between the Serpent and the Eagle. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We can evolve a set of spiritual exercises from these <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Three Cauldrons </i>and the runic formula
ALU-ULA, but it is also necessary to study the various points made about each
centre, and to focus attention on each centre and how it can be opened through
the way we live our lives. The runes are an aid to opening these three centres,
and there is also a ritual which could aid the retention of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blood-Memory
</i></b>after death, whence the energy is raised from the base (Inverted
Triangle) to the centre, and then to the top (Triangle). This (we are told)
should be done on the point of death. Since the centre-point is linked to the
blood we can then equate this with the ‘Rune of the Blood’ – Ing – which is a
diamond-shape and thus the fusion of the top and bottom symbols. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>(*) alwanza </i>is a very interesting word that we get from the Hittites, who are usually seen as being of the Aryan Race. The prefix <i style="font-weight: bold;">alw- </i>is quite obviously <i style="font-weight: bold;">alu(u) </i>but the suffix <i style="font-weight: bold;">-anza </i>is very much like the Ansuz-Rune, which forms part of the formula itself.
