For example, a member of an Eastern Orthodox Church told me that when he was 18 years old, his father suddenly passed away, and his mother and he communicated with the soul of his departed father through a local witch. I told him that in the Bible, God clearly disallowed such a practice. He replied, "We needed to know why my father died and where his soul was, so we could move on in life."

Evola on Paganism
"There is nothing to its religion but a superstitious deification of natural phenomena, or of tribal energies promoted to the status of minor gods. Out of this there arises first of all a blood- and soil-bound particularism."
Does this not sound like anti-folkish and anti-life universalist propaganda? I think it does. But we need to turn off our pattern recognition when it comes to the big schnoz baron, right?
The Gwragedd Annwn (literally, wives of the lower world, or hell) are the elfin dames who dwell under the water. I find no resemblance in the Welsh fairy to our familiar mermaid, beyond the watery abode, and the sometimes winning ways. The Gwragedd Annwn are not fishy of aspect, nor do they dwell in the sea. Their haunt is the lakes and rivers, but especially the wild and lonely lakes upon the mountain heights.
In the realm of faerie they serve as avenues of communication between this world and the lower one of annwn, the shadowy domain presided over by Gwyn ap Nudd, king of the fairies.

This is one of the more beautiful and enigmatic relics of Hellas, the Silver Bull of Delphi.
Measuring two and a half meters, or over 8 feet in length, which is a little larger than the average modern cattle, but is the same size as the unfortunately extinct Aurochs, the wild bovines of Europa.
The statue would be along the walkway to the Temple of Apollo where the world famous Oracle would reside. It's base material unknown, probably fired clay, but the outsides were fitted with hammered sheets of silver, making it appear as a solid metal statue. Whether, it was itself a gift to the temple, or the temple showing off its splendor, it does show how much power this Temple and Oracle possessed through it's wealth. Something of this magnitude probably was not just for show but very likely had significant religious implications. Perhaps it was the origins of the name Europa itself, where Zeus took on the form of a white bull? Either way it is one of the most beautiful and impressive relics from Delphi.
The Persian Connection
In figuring out how Axiality got into Europe, one factor that is often overlooked are the wars between Axial Persia and Pre-Axial Greece and why Persia resorted to it's agents planted in society.
• Heraclitus: Spoke out against his countrymen trying to regain sovereignty from Persia during the Ionian Revolt.
• Pythagoras: A self-admitted Magi agent sent to Syracuse and who got into local politics on their behalf, he failed but retried by Plato a few decades later.
• Socrates: He did fight with Athens in the Peloponnesian war in his youth, he sided with Persian-allied Sparta in his later years, plato's family and his philosophical acolytes were some of the 30 tyrants of Athens (a persio-spartan puppet government).
• Plato: His family were leaders of the Persian puppet state the 30 tyrants & exiled in 399bc.
• Xenophon: Was a mercenary for the Persian Cyrus the younger, spent a lot of time inside Persia, who later came back to Athens & was exiled when socrates was executed in 399bc.
After all these years I probably have enough old posts to share for a year or so. Not going to completely abandon the idea of new ones though. After all research is my hobby at this point so I find a lot of new stuff e.g. recently shared some funny folk tales on my Slavic channel.

Plato : Agent of Persia
Platonism mirrors Persian Zoroastrianism's 'Gathic monotheism' almost entirely (more in the Persian Connection show 10/25/25). We know he traveled in, and got "ideas" from the east and others who traveled there as well. Such as Heraclitus and Pythagoras. But is there direct evidence tying Plato with Persia (enemies of Greece)?
The answer is yes. Seneca wrote the following:
"Plato completed eighty-one years of life and died on his birthday, not a day short. For that reason, some Persian Magi, who happened to be in Athens, made burnt offerings to him after his death, believing that since he had completed the most perfect number (9×9), his fate was of more than humankind. Well, I expect you would not mind giving up a few days from that total, and the sacrifice as well."
- Letters on Ethics to Lucilius - Letter 58 Line 31
Why were high priests and agents of Persia in Athens giving sacrifices to plato? The excuse "9×9=81 lol" is likely to cover-up plato being an agent against his folk.

Apologies for the brief hiatus. Over the weekend I harvested the crops I grew this year. Out of which the squashes were the best performing, with 257 lbs or 117kg.
On this channel, we preach what we practice. Ritual soil preparation in the spring, followed by libations & the burial of animals for sacrifice to the land. Providing a home for bees (pollination), yellow jackets (pest control) & chickens (eggs + pest control). Watching them grow from sprout to harvest with minimal interference, then having to dedicate a weekend to gathering the fruits & ultimately giving the best to Gods was marvelous. Zero gmo, zero pesticides, just personal care (with the help of good critters), Landvættir & Blessed Gods.
Hopefully if you have a garden, your success was as good as ours. Or if you don't have a garden to give you inspiration for next year. We have so many Ancestors, Spirits, Gods & Goddesses associated with agriculture, gardening is the best way to connect with all of them!
Gods Love You!

Читать полностью…Later on, while serving as a youth minister at Golgotha Baptist Church of Bucharest, I noticed that many youth group members still believed in some of the folk beliefs and the superstitions we learned from our parents and other family members. I told them the Bible forbids such beliefs. And while they openly agreed with me, they still continued to uphold them. When I interacted with Eastern Orthodox or Catholic friends and family members, I noticed a larger and stronger adherence to folk religions.

Another anti-Pagan Evola take is his solution to modernity. Quote: "to rid the world in revolutionary fashion of a culture of decadence…The first assumption is that there is a higher world beyond this one. Therefore, we have to abandon any mysticism of this world, any adoration of nature and of life, any pantheism."
Abandon the real world, stop adoring nature and life? Abandon pantheism? A completely traditional worldview, right? Definitely based Evola would never promote some revisionist, anti-fundamentalist BS.
In conclusion, as noted by the chief of the Sicherheitshauptamt: "Evola possesses no understanding of the German folkish past…"

What a lot of people don't understand is that the single event, which not only brought an end to Greece's golden age, but also significantly weakened Hellas as a whole, the Peloponnesian war & subsequent Corinthian war had Persia's fingers in it.
After Persia was defeated by the Greeks in the Greco-Persian wars, Persia influenced Sparta to uphold the peace agreement. Athens emboldened & wanting revenge wanted to take the fight to Persia reclaiming the Greek cities in western Anatolia.
During the conflict Persia joined the war with Sparta's Peloponnesian league after aiding revolts against the Athenian led Delian league. This resulted in the defeat of Athens & their anti-persian League.
Sparta, the uncontested leader of Hellas installed puppet states in the conquered cities, which Persian agents went in to continue destabilizing Hellas. Spartan Hellas retaliated & attacked Persian reoccupied western Anatolia. Persia then backed Athens, Thebes, Argos & Corinth in the Corinthian war destroying Greek unity.
The light-haired races place great value on freedom. They are bold and undaunted in battle. Daring and impetuous as they are, they consider any timidity and even a short retreat as a disgrace. They calmly despise death as they fight violently in hand-to-hand combat either on horseback or on foot. If they are hard pressed in cavalry actions, they dismount at a single prearranged sign and line up on foot. Although only a few against many horsemen, they do not shrink from the fight.

A joke about christianity from Transcarpathia
A peasant man went to the priest to confess. The priest asks:
-How many Gods are there in heaven?
The man answers:
-Five!
The priest hits him with a cross and asks again:
-How many Gods are there in heaven?
The man answers:
-Fifty!
The priest hits him hard again. The man got away and met his cousin walking down the road.
-Where are you going at church hour, cuz?
-To a confession.
-Do you know how many Gods there are in heaven, cuz?
-I know. One!
-Oh, cuz, I’ve said five, then fifty and barely got out alive. If you say just one the priest will sure end you for good.
The cousins went back home and never confessed again.

Folk storytellers did not understand biblical myth and saw them as alien. They interpreted them in their own, often comedic style, jeering at the most sacred of the Orthodox Church.
Description of events, places, character temper and actions in folk jokes and so-called magical legends is in many cases only superficially connected with biblical and evangelical beliefs. In essence they contradict these beliefs and often turn against them using biting satire or apt parody.
