Yesterday’s essay on Postmodernism and Miasma inspired several conversations, as did the post wherein Galina Krasskova started this whole brouhaha.  Initially I was surprised to see any controversy concerning miasma.  In my experience the concept is universal: I have yet to encounter a traditional religious practice that does not recognize spiritual pollution and offer means of […]

Disgust is an instinct which saves us from eating contaminated foods and poisons.  We feel a sense of revulsion upon seeing vomit, rotten meat, excrement — all things which would sicken and kill us should we consume them.  As Daniel Kelly, author of Yuck! The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust says: You have this […]

Fuensanta Plaza was a woman of means who talked to dwarves. It sounds like the opening sentence of an Absolutely Fabulous script proposal. Imagine Edina Monsoon’s friend Ms. Cottingley dropping by for a visit. Picture the wacky hijinks that ensue as she name-drops Peter Dinklage and Walt Disney whilst waving her sustainably harvested talking stick. […]

Many will tell you that to be consciously White is to be racist: quite a few will even drop the “consciously” part.  Tattooed skinheads stomping random people of color, Klansmen burning crosses, toothless rednecks spitting out obscenities as they proclaim their “White Pride:” we all know the stereotypes.  And, to be fair, there’s some truth […]

The idea that one might claim to be the biological child of a God seems curious today, even amusing. What sort of hubris does it take to claim divine descent?  These trepidations are largely a relic of Christianity.  The Christian faith only has room for one Son of God who died so that Sin might be forgiven: […]

In reconstructing the religions of pre-Christian Europe we must first consider what concepts like “worship,” “reverence” and “deity” meant to our ancestors.  This is no small task.  For over 1,000 years Europe has been under the sway of an aggressive monotheistic faith whose cosmology, metaphysics and ethical philosophy are very different than the traditions they supplanted: […]

Why would an initiate in Haitian Vodou support folkish Heathens? Why would an author on African Diaspora traditions associate with racists and anti-Semites? What diabolical plot is at work here? What dastardly scheme has been hatched? When is Filan going to awaken from his ether binge and murmur in a slurred voice “Alternative Who?” Well, it started […]

Our earlier post on the “Jewish Question” took a snarky potshot at a former Lokiswife who recently declared herself married to Force Awakens antagonist Kylo Ren.  Lady Acaciah Ren has cast no aspersions on my beliefs: neither has she asked my opinion on hers. I had no business sticking my nose in her spiritual or emotional affairs and I […]

In response to our first installment in this series, Bob Bacon commented: ROFL. So you have a <K] ike professor telling you “NO NO CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD, blame ROME,” because now they’re worried about ANGRY WHITE CRACKERS going back to more powerful white pagan religions, and kicking their <K] asses out for good. Mr. Bacon appears to […]

Of late I’ve seen many references to Christianity as a “Jewish plot” and Christianity as a “Semitic religion.”  Putting aside the question of whether or not this is anti-Semitic, it is ahistorical. Christianity certainly did a whammy on the cultures of pagan Europe. The Wendish Crusade forced a new God and a new identity on the Slavonic […]
