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

Our reply to the barbarian clerygman:

The person writing the critique sounds gay.

But not in a cool, homofascist Jack Donovan type way.

Like a dinner party with dress shirts and leather vests type gay, shivering in your bathtub with tears running down your gross beta Wizard beard type gay.

We may write more testaments about this topic in this future.
