Ultima Thule

ULTIMA THULE

by Robert Blumetti

From Northern Europe to India, most cultures possessed a memory of a once and lost Golden Age that existed in the primeval past, when men and women possessed superior powers of mind and body and lived in harmony with the natural environment. In the Middle East , the Garden of Eden of the Old Testament is an obvious reference to this lost Golden Age, when people lived side-by-side with God. The Egyptians of antiquity spoke of a time when the Egyptian people were ruled by a race of God-kings. In Babylonian mythology there is a reference to three ages, each lasting thousands of years. The first and oldest was a Golden Age that existed before the Great Flood. The ancient Iranians have a reference to a Golden Age in the Avesta texts. It describes a thousand-year reign of King Yima.

Rebirth of the Gods

THE REBIRTH OF THE GODS
by Robert Blumetti


The old order is in advanced decay. The world as we know it is rapidly falling apart. The West is in a state of decline and the forces of darkness are rapidly spreading across the world.

We stand between two ages—the wheel turns. The previous age is fading into the past as Loki is rallying the forces of destruction to assault the old order, plunging the world into chaos. The darkness and oppression of the great winter, Fimbul, is quickly overtaking the ordered world of the previous age. We are entering a time of the Giants, when their chaos will rule over mankind, shattering the institutions, traditions and nations that gave meaning and hope to our people and ancestors. We are entering a new dark age–the Age of Fimbulvetr.

Our Place in the Order of Things

OUR PLACE IN THE ORDER OF THINGS
by Robert Blumetti

The three monotheistic religions see God as someone with a master plan, who has laid down the law and demand that everyone obey his laws, and if they don't, they will suffer the most excruciating pain for all eternity. Ironically enough, everyone who happens to be unfortunate enough to be born in a part of the world that has never heard the "divine word" is damned along with those who heard it and rejected it. Thus, God, who is suppose to be all-knowing and infallible, has deliberately created billions of people whom he has damned to Hell. He is all-knowing and infallible–so that means he knew that billions of people would never have the chance to be saved, as well as those who he knew would choose to reject his law, and thus, they would be condemned after death. Why? Why would God do such a thing? Well, the followers of monotheism like to say, "We can never know what God does, or why he does it, but we have got to have faith." This is poor comfort for those billions burning in Hell. Of course, that doesn't concern those who know that they are saved.

Love Life!

LOVE LIFE!by Robert Blumetti
LOVE LIFE! If there are only two words to describe the essence of the Folk Faith, it is these two words - Love Life.

Life is a gift from the Gods. When the Holy Trinity first bred life into the ash and elm and thus created the first man and woman, the most precious gift that the Gods had bestowed upon us: life itself. This being the first and most important of all gifts, it is worthy of our most passionate love. It is the appreciation of life that separates us from all other living things. I am not talking about the instinct to survive, but the appreciation of life and all that it means.

We are a Light Against the Approaching Darkness

WE ARE A LIGHT AGAINST THE APPROACHING DARKNESS
by Robert Blumetti

We see the approaching winter and we know that we must stand fast and be a beacon against the terrible darkness that is about to sweep over our world.

We can see that our leaders and governments have been inflicted with the blind ignorance that is Hodur.

We can see that our people have fallen under the spell of Hodur's ignorance and are blinded to the truths that have guided our ancestors for thousands of years. We know that they are now prey to the trickster, Loki, who will lead the forces of chaos and destruction that will sweep over the world and level all that we know. Therefore, we raise our voice in this age of decline. To the East, North, West and South, we call to our people, calling on them to abandon the weakness that has invaded our minds, hearts and souls, and proclaim our rebirth!
