The “Great Reset” and the End of Humanity…Versus the Path of Odin?

MusingsFebruary 13, 2022681Views 2Likes 0Comments

Titles containing words like "the end of humanity" are never taken seriously; when we see them, it's generally safe to conclude that the author is exaggerating, The end of humanity? Really? We assume that the subject is nuclear war, or climate catastrophe, or maybe an errant asteroid headed for Earth…But that's not what I have…

I love sitting in a comfortable chair, watching the snow fall outside as I relax by the fire. But sometimes it goes all wrong, and when it does, there are practical lessons to be learned… Yes, our ancestors were born, lived, and died in frigid climates. That climate enforced genetic standards that made us White…

Change Yourself!

Most of us probably think we’re doing pretty well, spiritually speaking. The typical follower of the Germanic Way has plenty of good qualities - intellectual curiosity, the boldness to take a different path, and, we can suppose, dedication to a tough code of conduct. Sometimes, being human, we do not live up to the best…

Celebration of Yuletide centers around two principles: The first of these is that Yule is indeed a tide, or an extended period of several days, and not just a single event occurring on one specific day. More exactly, Yule begins on December 20th, or Mother Night, and continues until January 1st, or Twelfth Night. Each…

Transhumanism is all the rage these days, whether in the mechanistic, dehumanized perspective of Ray Kurzweil - who happens to be Google’s chief of engineering - or the cybernetic, interconnected human web glimpsed in Herzog’s Lo and Behold - Reveries of the Connected World. Over at the World Economic Forum, the coming transformation of humanity…

“How shall we live our lives?” The question echoes down the millennia from every human culture and continues to tug at our minds today. Men and women have answered this question in many different ways, sometimes nobly and sometimes less so. During that episode in the Germanic experience we call the Viking Age, a code…

Dystopia on Overdrive

Yesterday I found Werner Herzog's video "Lo and Behold - Reveries of the Connected World" on You Tube. Dating from 2016, it describes the birth of the internet and gives a vision of what is yet to come. Goodbye, humanity… Oh, there will still be people - but what it means to be human…

This article is adapted from "Drop Zone Musings," which I wrote for the Winter 1992 issue of the Asatru Folk Assembly's journal, The Runestone . "Parachuting should be no big deal, right? After all, the ground is just one step away… Life is like a parachute jump. The static line that connects us to the…

This article is adapted from an article published in The Runestone, Fall/Winter 1996. It was written as a comment on the Asatru festival called "Winter Nights," held in mid-to late October. The Disir are those ancient tribal mothers who have departed this life for the Otherworld. These powerful female ancestors, traditionally led by the Goddess…

Be A Disruptor!

There is no parallel to our times. At no point has there been such a threat of total control, ultimate domination, and tempting incentives for the masses to cooperate in their own enslavement. Humans, in the whole, will almost always choose safety and the laziness over risk and vigor. Most are not and have never…
