“The most important function of consecrated warriors, of the Männerbünde, is to be a bastion against hostile powers. From the mythic perspective, this is part of the battle of the gods against the demons … a bastion against the army of the wolf; from the perspective of daily existence, it is the Ancestors, and the warriors who are in cultic union with them, as the constant defenders against the forces of destruction, whether these are unseen, daemonic forces, or the enemy tribe across the river.”
Kris Kershaw, The One-Eyed God: Odin and the (Indo-)Germanic Männerbünde

A Yuletide warning for brainy young friends. Always direct your reading and learning towards the ultimate spiritual purpose. It is right for a young man so inclined to immerse himself in philosophy, theology and the world of ideas only if he ultimately manifests those ideas into a coherent way of being. The intellectually gifted can fall victim to a type of vanity that transforms them into wordcels incapable of living out the ideas they have studied. Theories become obstructions to the modes of being they present and the victims use them as masks to obscure their failure.

“All too often people forget that spirituality is essentially a way of life and that its measure does not consist of notions, theories, and ideas that have been stored in one’s head. Spirituality is actually what has been successfully actualized and translated into a sense of superiority which is experienced inside by the soul, and a noble demeanor, which is expressed in the body.” Evola

Happy White Wednesday!

Most of the items discounted are limited edition and will never be printed again, so if you missed out when they were released, now is the perfect time to get them for a great price before they’re gone for good.

Please note that there is a postal service strike currently underway in Canada, which may delay shipment of orders—as soon as the strike ends, all orders will be fulfilled as usual.

You could bring together every politician, every expert, every intellectual to solve the world’s problems and they would all fail to see -

The great corruption - the great destroyer of our age - is the illness of the spirit.

There is no solution beyond this: to heal and renew our own world, we must first go into the darkness that lies at the depths of our own soul and light fires there once again.

In this light, and with this fire, we may illuminate the way forward - but until we take part in a revolution of our spirit, there can be no other victory.

A samurai must ever strive to be first;
To lack nothing, to never fall behind
One’s peers, one’s rivals, even one’s brothers.

It is of particular importance
To pay attention to one’s words, one’s speech—
To never allow, not even in jest,
“I am afraid!”
“It hurts!”
“We must retreat!”
To pass one’s lips. There are no excuses;
No matter how wounded one might be, nor
Even if one is talking in one’s sleep,
One’s peers, one’s rivals, even one’s brothers—
They might hear.
One would thenceforth be loathsome in their eyes.
For a samurai must strive to be first—
In bravery, always, above else.

There really are only two options.

There's what we're building, and then there's this.

Some people will post memes or continue to yammer on about the so-called "evils" of syncretic understanding or practice (allowing it to live rent-free in their mind, or maybe just to stoke division) and claim to be "folkish" all while posting excerpts and images regarding myths from various ethnic folk faiths or Indo-European groups.
The hypocrisy is hilarious.

They continue to ignore history where European and Eurasian faiths influenced each other heavily and were often a blend or seen as compatible within a similar cosmology. Also, they continue to strawman and make up arguments to claim things never said by most so they can continue to slander or cause a stir.

Yet again, Hammer and Vajra, as well as our members and associates, are a mixture of syncetic (of IE faiths) and folkish ethnic faiths.

A syncretic understanding or gap filling doesn't make one a traitor of one's own Ethnic group.
It just makes then a more well-rounded and educated practitioner.
Ultimately, faith / belief, praying to the Ancestors and Gods, and keeping myth, traditions, and morals alive is more important than any label you place on your faiths.

Plz comment on accuracy of syncretism in this img next
