A place for Aryan (European) Folkish Pagans
What makes Paganism life-affirming is, first and foremost, the attitude Pagans have to Nature. Unlike abrahamism and the heresies of the Axial Age, true (ie Folkish) Paganism acknowledges the world as the only sacred reality thus everything in it is worth preserving, every grove, lake, mountain etc is full of spirits and Gods.

Nature is my church
art by O.Shupliak
“‘Well hast thou made the award,’ said they all, ‘and henceforward shall your name be changed; you shall no longer be called Setanta; Cu-Chulain, or the “Hound of Culain,” shall your name be.’
“‘I like my own name best,’ the child objected. ‘Ah, say not so,’ replied the magician, ‘for one day will the name of Cuchulain ring in all men’s mouths; among the brave ones of the whole wide world Cuchulain’s name shall find a place. Renowned and famous shall he be, beloved and feared by all.’ ‘If that is so, then am I well content,’ replied the boy.
“So from that day forth the name Cuchulain clung to him, until the time came when he was no longer remembered as the Hound of Culain’s Fort, but as the guardian and watch-dog of defence to the Province against her foes; and then men loved best to call him ‘The Hound of Ulster.’
As for the hound himself, he thought with but one gulp to swallow Setanta whole. Now the little lad was without any means of defence beyond his ball and hurley-stick. He never left his play till he came near. Then, as the hound charged open-jawed, with all his strength he threw the ball right into the creature’s mouth; and as for a moment the hound stopped short, choking as the ball passed down its throat, the lad seized hold of the mastiff’s open jaws, grasping its throat with one hand and the back of its head with the other, and so violently did he strike its head against the pillars of the door, that it was no long time until the creature lay dead upon the ground.

Genetically Western (Royal) Scythians were almost identical to modern Eastern Europeans.
Only Eastern Scythians (like dark and curly haired Pazyryk) were similar to Central Asians.
Make sure to depict Royal Scythians accurately like Darbarnir https://twitter.com/mrdarbarko

In The Hand Corwin deals with many relatives and friends, but Ganelon is most prominent among them. Not being an Amberite he provides an outsider perspective on the situation and comes up with creative solutions to some of the problems. Throughout the book he gives Corwin his advice many times and always supports his friend in time of need.

Brand is the main antagonist for the book and it’s refreshing having one who won’t just duel with Corwin or send troops. Being a wizard Brand is much more subtle, he manipulates others and when the latter is not possible magic is used. He learned his mysterious skills from Dworkin and utilizes them through the book to achieve his ultimate goal which is the destruction of the world as currently known. After that’s done Brand plans to create a new one himself.

The Hand of Oberon is the fourth book of the Amber Chronicles and is mostly focus on Corwin unveiling the reason why Chaos forces are attacking Amber and who helped them. As it turns out Brand was the real master mind behind all of this responsible both for creating the passage for the enemies of Amber and trying to kill Corwin back in the day.

Above-mentioned puzzling custom is probably proof of Zalmoxis being a heretic after all and promoting misotheism towards the original Gods of Getae such as their thunder deity while usurping their traits for himself. The matter is an extremely confusing one though, so I am not sure.

Pagan approach to nature must be balanced. Trees are to be chopped down, but no forest should be cut unless every last scrap of wood goes to use and the land is replanted to create ecosystems, not plantations.

Against Christian Identity - 14 (The Hebrides are not named after the Hebrews)
Within CI, there is a belief that the Hebrides (islands next to the coast of Northwest Alba) are named after the Hebrews. As with the other things that have been said, this is wrong. There are three reasons for this, which will be shared below.
There is nothing in the archaeological record showing the spread of Middle Eastern ways of life into Britain during the time Christian Identitarians think the Israelites reached Britain (during the Iron Age). The blood of the folk of Britain is European, with it being West British and Irish, Continental Northern European and France IA (Gaulish blood, but it was the Belgian Gauls that reached Britain, not the Celtic Gauls.) which all come from Europe, not the Levant. Lastly, there is the reason I am writing about the Hebrides, which is that the word is not from Hebrew.
The name 'Hebrides' comes from a root that is from the speech of the British Bell Beakers. Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy called these islands the 'Héboudai', meaning the 'r' came later and has nothing to do with the Hebrews. This is something known as folk etymology, which should be avoided. Since no blood likeness or leftovers of the folk living there has been shown to have strong links to the Israelites, or the Gauls, it can only be from a tongue that is not Early Hebrew, Early Gaulish or Early Irish.
While the name of these islands is from a British Bell Beaker root, Roman and Greek writers wrote down Brythonic names for the Hebudes. This happened, since the most contact they had with the British was with those from outside of the Highlands and Islands. This can be known, as the blood of the Highlanders and Islanders had/has between 0% to 0.25% France IA, which is not enough for Belgian speech to have been in those bits of Britain during the Iron Age.
Not only are the Hebrides not named after the Hebrews, but the Northern British (along with the Irish) have next to no 'Celtic' blood. Those in Southern Britain have more 'Celtic' blood, but this blood is from Gallia Belgica, which is not where the Celts are from. As such, it should not be called Celtic. To the British and Irish, stop thinking that you are something you are not. You are Northwest Insular Aryans, not Celts or Israelites.

The smith went out to find his dog, and when he saw him lying there, knocked almost to pieces and quite dead, his heart was vexed within him. He went back to the house, and said, ‘’My life is a life lost, and my substance is but substance wasted without my dog. He was a defence and protection to our property and our cattle, to every beast we had and to our house.
‘Be not vexed thereat,’ replied the child, ‘for I myself will fix on my own punishment. This shall it be. If in all Ireland a whelp of that dog’s breed is to be found, ’tis I myself will rear him up for thee till he be fit to take the watch-dog’s place. In the meantime, O Culain, I myself will be your hound for defence of your cattle and for your own defence, until the dog be grown and capable of action

We've made our article on the Axial Age available for free:
https://imperiumpress.substack.com/p/the-axial-turn
Quite a few people messaged us to say this was something important and deserves to be shared with everyone. In the article we dig down into the details to show exactly what the Axial age was and why it represents a very clear proto-liberalism.
So much of radical politics leans on this proto-liberalism, and so struggles to oppose things like secularism, trans-everything, and globalism in a principled way. If we oppose these, we must excavate the root, not just the branch.
1552 Additional instruction of Sudebnik commands preachers to go to the markets telling the people not to go to the volkhvs, sorcerers and astronomers with threats of ostracism and excommunication.
1586 Patriarch’s letter of Lviv Dormition Brotherhood:
"if there is a witch or a spellcaster to be found in a village or any other place, the devil’s vessel or the sorceress…let her be shunned from the church and those who have succumbed to the witches and fortune-tellers and visit them are to be excommunicated."
1071 Two volkhvs organized a rebellion near Yaroslavl…and came to Beloozero and had 300 men with them. Jan ordered them to be beaten…they were caught and hanged… (Laurentian Codex).
1091 Volkhvs organize an uprising in Rostov and get executed.
1206 An idol of Mokosh (Slavic female Goddess) gets destroyed in Novgorod. Church of St. Paraskevi is built on top of the same hill.
1227 Traveling volkhvs and herbalists come to Novgorod and perform miracles. Eventually they are caught and burned alive.
When one thinks of christian witch burning today what comes to mind is probably the catholic branch with it’s inquisition or maybe puritans, but orthodox church also committed countless crimes all over the world, especially in Greece and Rus. I will now present some never-before translated material about the latter.

Overall, The Hand of Oberon is the most fantastical and important (in terms of the story and lore) book in the series so far. It also ends on a great twist which makes one eager to start The Courts of Chaos as soon as possible which is exactly what I did. As always, the review will come after I finish it.
Читать полностью…
Speaking of Dworkin, he is revealed to be the real founder of Amber and the royal family. He used to be a noble of Chaos, but rebelled and created Amber with the Jewel of Judgement thus bringing order into the universe. He then fathered Oberon and stayed by his side as the court wizard. Dworkin is without any doubt the most powerful being in the Amber Chronicles we’ve seen so far, but he is also plagued with madness caused by Brand, his best student. Dworkin is inspired by Wotan and other European deities of the shaman/artist type.

From the very beginning what differentiates this book from the previous three is the amount of lore and universe insight. The Hand reveals who created Amber and also that the opposing forces are in fact not just monsters, but the Courts of Chaos. There is a lot of magic and this is where the Chronicles feel like high fantasy with Brand specifically, but displaying many strange powers. Still not as cliche as fireballs and lightning, but rather more advanced manipulations of reality such as teleportation, shapeshifting, mind-reading etc.
