Against The Post-Modern World

By Alexandr Dugin

The evil of unipolarity

The current world is unipolar with the global West in its centre and with the United States as its core.

This kind of  unipolarity has geopolitical and ideological sides. Geopolitically is  strategic dominance of the Earth by a North-American hyperpower and the effort of Washington to organize the balance of forces on the planet in such a manner as to be able to rule the whole world in accordance with its own national (imperialistic) interests. It is bad because it deprives other states and nations of their real sovereignty.

When there is only one instance to decide who is right and who is wrong and who should be punished we have a kind of  global dictatorship. I am convinced that it is not acceptable. So we should fight against it. If someone deprives us of our freedom we have to react. And we will. The American Empire should be destroyed. And at one point it will be.

Ideologically the unipolarity is based on Modernist and Post-Modernist values that are openly anti-traditional ones. I share the vision of Rene Guenon and Julius Evola who considered Modernity and its ideological basis ( individualism, liberal democracy, capitalism, comfortism and so on) to be the cause of the future catastrophe of  humanity and global domination of Western attitudes as the reason of final degradation of the Earth. The West is approaching  its end and we should not let it push all the rest of us with it into the abyss.

Spiritually globalization is the creation of The Grand Parody, the kingdom of the Antichrist. And the United States is in the center of its expansion. American values pretend to be “universal” ones. It is a new form of ideological aggression against the multiplicity of  cultures and traditions still existing in  other parts of the world. I am resolutely against Western values that are essential Modernist and Post-Modernist ones and promulgated by the United States by force or by obtrusion (Afghanistan, Iraq, now Libya, tomorrow Syria and Iran) .

Odalism

 Odalism

In an age of multiculturalism, political corruption and spiritual decay, brave heroes of today try to win back the ideas of that which goes beyond individual focus. The overall rootlessness and lack of cultural and racial identity, are causing millions of insecure people to strike out at anything and anyone that wish to stay far away from the plastic and materialistic lifestyle of modern society, and return to the wisdom of forefathers and ancient knowledge. Nationalists realize that mixing two unique cultures together require a compromise, where each culture lose its own integrity and therefore in the end will become commercial food for the companies to take advantage of. As such, nationalism today is a very important part of freeing the modern soul from a trapped world, and instead let it engage with its natural roots and "find" an identity carried in blood, not in materials or subcultural lifestyles.

Although nationalism functions as an important way of fighting back against the modern insanities and to slowly but steadily build up healthier sets of ideas and beliefs, it has today relapsed into fragmentized thinking and lost its relevance in a larger worldview. When you attack a complex problem by thinking one easy way will solve it all, you are completely misinterpreting the situation. Nothing in this world is so binary, that we by using one utopian method suddenly can turn things over and present a brand new world of sunshine and loving. It simply does not work that way.

Endgame

Premises of Endgame

An Excerpt From Endgame by Derrick Jensen

Premise One: Civilization is not and can never be sustainable. This is especially true for industrial civilization.

Premise Two: Traditional communities do not often voluntarily give up or sell the resources on which their communities are based until their communities have been destroyed. They also do not willingly allow their landbases to be damaged so that other resources—gold, oil, and so on—can be extracted. It follows that those who want the resources will do what they can to destroy traditional communities.

The Perennial Wisdom of the World-Cycle

One of the most crucial functions of mythology, cosmology, and mytho-poetic history is to give a people a grasp on their place within the cosmos. It can situate people within a framework that can be understood in terms of both time and space, but also in terms of deeper meaning, as the various impelling, preserving, and destroying forces that are given names in any mythology can be realized and approached on more than one level.

Our Truth

Our Truth : The Heathen Legacy, and the Myths of the Modern World
 by Robin Artisson
from Cauldron Born
Modern Heathenry is a very young system of religious expression. While it is true that Heathenry has deep and ancient origins, it was largely interrupted for over a thousand years, before its rebirth and recension in the modern day. After such an interregnum, there remains a lot of work to be done on the level of "reclaiming" the legacy of the old days, while still operating successfully within the modern context.

Roots of Ragnarok

Roots Of Ragnarok

By Ron McVan


Midgard is the cradle that rocks above the abyss---our existence
is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.

The great Solar-myth underlies all the ancient mythologies. It commemorates the death and resurrection of the sun. It signifies the destruction of the light by the clouds, the darkness and the eventual return of the great luminary of the world. That which was most instrumental in conforming mankind to adopt the solar based religions took place in a time long before our written history. It was a thing so terrible, so incomprehensible, pitiless and destructive, that even today its dreadful aftermath still lingers deep in the genetic memory of all mankind.

In the Northern European pagan religion of Wotanism, this dreadful End of Days cataclysm is symbolized by three ominous spectres known as: Fenris Wolf, the giant world Midgard Serpent Jormungand and Garm the Dog. The Southern Europeans knew them as: Python and Typhaon and Cacus, which is the same as Vritra in the Indo-European sanskrit. The Christian bible referred to them as Satan, Behemoth and Leviathan. Yet, there is simply one name to describe the most terrible and unstoppable monster serpent of all, "The Great Comet."

A Fairy Tale

Varg Vikernes "Perþ" (fairy tale)

I

Once upon a time, in another world and another place out there in space.

I was young and curious, sought and searched for answers to the most unbelievable questions. I grew up in a noble family and was educated to become a knight. I traveled far and searched for honour and fame - like all knights do. I found both, but I never found happiness. There was too much injustice and cruelty out there for me to be happy. It is only the fools who are happy.

Famous and honoured as I was, I thought it my duty to end all injustice in the world. I knew it was the gods who were behind this and therefore decided that I should find them and crave answers to why they were so cruel and unfair. Why they let young boys get cut down on the fields of battle; why they let innocent infants die of disease in the crib; why they let plague and sickness ravage; why they let some live like slaves their whole life, only to die filthy and old in their beds. Why were they so cruel?

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.

Heroic Ethic

Heroic Ethic

By Ron McVan

"A happy life is impossible, the highest to which a
man can attain is a heroic course of life."
.............................Schopenhauer

Heroism may be considered the epitome of all the Aryan values, the single most life expression of sacrificial will, transformation and vitalism, so explicity exemplified throughout Western Euro-mythology and folklore. The hero occupies that sacred precinct through which he begins a new aspect of self evolution between man and the divine. It is the deed of the hero to bridge these realms as he stands before his gods, the seeker and the found, the outside and the inside of a single self-mirrored mystery.

In the purest tradition, the hero is not content with the limitations of mere human existence as his adventures serve to elevate him well beyond the common state of man. His journey, is a journey along the path of a valorous and fearless choice which he views as his personal quest and destiny. The very crux of the hero's venture is his own self-realization and clear sense of purpose found through the crowning reunion with his "hamingja", a term used by the ancient Norse to denote "the god-self" in man.

Otto Rahn And The Quest for the Holy Grail

By M. SABEHEDDIN

Otto Rahn (1904-1939), described as a gifted young author and historian, was one of this century’s truly fascinating figures. Prior to his mysterious death, at age 35, he wrote two books about the Cathars of southern France: Kreuzzug gegen den Gral (“Crusade Against the Grail”) and Luzifers Hofgesind (“Lucifer’s Court”). Myth and legend continue to shroud both his life and tragic death. While his books influenced such authors as Trevor Ravenscroft and Jean-Michel Angebert, they were never translated into English. In the 1982 best selling book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Otto Rahn’s name appears in a small but intriguing footnote.

Otto Rahn believed that he had found the location of the Holy Grail Mountain, the Montsalvat of legend, in the Cathar mountain fortress of Montsegur in the French Pyrenees. He was, says Prof. Joscelyn Godwin, “largely responsible for the mythological complex that associated the Cathars and Montsegur with the Holy Grail and its Castle.”

10 Myths of the Middle Ages

10 Myths of the Middle Ages

By J Frater

The Middle Ages spanned roughly the 5th century to the 16th century – a total of 1,100 years. During the time following the Middle Ages (which is often referred to as the Enlightenment), the previous millennium was criticized and condemned – just as we now condemn the actions of some during the Victorian Period (sexual prudishness for example). Many of the writers of the newly invented Protestant movement harshly attacked the Middle Ages because of its Catholicity. Unfortunately many of the myths and misconceptions that sprung up at the time are still believed today. This list aims to set things straight.

The Path Toward the Sacred

The Path Toward the Sacred

by Alain de Benoist

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Renaissance was genuinely a re-naissance, a rebirth. "It involved," as Ernest Renan said, "seeing Antiquity face to face." Yet that rebirth was not a journey backward nor a simple resurgence of the past, but on the contrary a point of departure for a new spiritual adventure, a new adventure of the Faustian soul, henceforth triumphant because finally awakened to itself. Today "neo-paganism," likewise, is not a regression. It is, on the contrary, the deliberate choice of a more authentic future, more harmonious, more powerful -- a choice that projects into the future, for new creations, the Eternal from which we come.

THE HAU DE NO SAU NEE MESSAGE TO THE WESTERN WORLD

The Hau de no sau nee, or the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, has existed on this land since the beginning of human memory. Our culture is among the most ancient continuously existing cultures in the world. We still remember the earliest doings of human beings. We remember the original instructions of the Creators of Life on this place we call Etenoha -- Mother Earth. We are the spiritual guardians of this place. We are the Ongwhehonwhe -- the Real People.

Back to Paradise

Back to Paradise

By Richard Heinberg
Paradise: A Lost Global Civilisation 

Standard views of human history leave little room for a lost paradise. But it seems that each year brings fresh evidence suggesting that our knowledge of the ancient human past is sketchy at best. For example, the recent discovery of a carved bone flute in a Slovenian cave, dated (by current estimates) at between 43,000 and 82,000 years old, suggests that humans have had music – and probably language and art as well – for a very long time indeed. What were people thinking and doing for all those millennia?

Giordano Bruno: The Forgotten Philosopher

Giordano Bruno: The Forgotten Philosopher
by John J. Kessler, Ph.D., Ch.E.


In the year 1548 an Italian boy was born in the little town of Nola, not far from Vesuvius. Although, he spent the greater part of his life in hostile and foreign countries he was drawn back to his home at the end of his travels and after he had written nearly twenty books.
When he was thirteen years old he began to go to school at the Monastery of Saint Domenico. It was a famous place. Thomas Aquinas, himself a Dominican, had lived there and taught. Within a few years Bruno had become a Dominican priest.

Here We Stand by Sol Invictus

Here We Stand

Here we stand, on some lost and lonely shore
All that's left to us, empty thrones and broken swords
Shall we watch the sun throw itself into the sea?
Shall we open our veins and bleed?

Here we stand alone, empty days
Here we stand alone, never saved
See the world, watch her shake with rage
At this mass of fools, who mock her holy stage
She will spit them out like so much dust
For this is the age of gold, not blood or love

Here we stand alone, empty days
Here we stand alone, never saved

See the horseman ride in from the sea
See the Wildhunt through the trees
A hand shall come down and tear out the last page
The final act of the final age

Apollonius of Tyana

APOLLONIOUS OF TYANA
By Ron McVan

"There is no death of anyone, but only in appearance, even as there is no birth of any, save only in seeming. The change from being to becoming seems to be birth, and the change from becoming to being seems to be death, but in reality no one is ever born, nor does one ever die. It is simply a being visible and then invisible; the former through the density of matter, and the latter because of the subtlety of being----being which is ever the same, its only change being motion and rest. For being has this necessary peculiarity, that its change is brought about by nothing external to itself; but whole becomes parts and parts become whole in the oneness of the all." ......................PLATO

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!
