Hercules fighting Ladon is myth derived from the original Chaoskampf. Here the Thunderer often uses his bow, which is a somewhat forgotten weapon.

Zeus and Typhon is another example of the Hellenic Chaoskampf myth. Instead of the original Thunder God.
What it does preserve is the idea that the Chaos is not defeated permanently and the Chaos serpent is not killed, but rather imprisoned since Zeus couldn’t destroy Typhon and buried him under mount Etna.

Traditional werewolf transformation
Slavic folklore and Hollwood versions of werewolf are very different. The latter is well know and has mostly overshadowed the former in the collective consciousness, even in Europe.
Traditional werewolf (oboroten) is one who can turn into a wolf whenever he wants and also has full control since it’s not a curse.
There’s no single ritual, but the most popular one includes sticking a knife (usually copper) into an old stump and jumping over it, often while reciting a spell.
'King' David
If David did exist he cannot possibly have been the mighty king described in the Tanakh. At the time when he is said to have ruled over a large and sophisticated civilisation, the real world of archaeology has revealed "only a few dozen very small scattered hamlets and villages" supporting farmers who "numbered hardly more than two thousand persons."
If David existed at all he can have been little more than a hill country chieftain. As one recent commentator observes: "The chief disagreement nowadays is between those who hold that David was a petty hilltop chieftain whose writ extended no more than a few miles in any direction, and a small but vociferous band of 'biblical minimalists' who maintain that he never existed at all."

To sum up, it’s clear why the tale of Dobrynia and the Dragon is so popular since it has a perfect mix of traditional and original elements which makes it an exciting read/listen.
Читать полностью…
The second half of the tale happens after a timeskip. Despite the plot itself being a bit more interesting due to the secret nest reveal at the end it’s still a classic story of a hero killing the dragon and saving the princess. Tales like this never went out of fashion and were some of the fist ones humans shared with each other.

Some would claim that unlike the primordial Chaos serpent the dragon of this tale is winged and can breath fire which seemingly doesn’t the aquatic nature of the archetype.
But we have to consider that the dragon fights Dobrynia in the river. Their second battle is in the deep mountain caves. Plenty of water in both cases. Plus, only the first part of the tale has remnants of the cosmic myth anyway.
The first part of the tale provides a more interesting material for analysis.
Dobrynia has a somewhat unique childhood. His father is old and dies before the boy grows up. His widow takes good care of the child, in fact Dobrynia is a rather unique character for folk tales since he didn’t grow up in a poor family and got proper education. Can both read and write which wasn’t as common back then.
There is actually a version of the myth of Hercules fighting Hydra which preserves the motif of imprisoned Chaos.
It states that after the battle Hydra was still alive since one of her heads was immortal and indestructible. Heracles cut it off and placed the still writhing head under a great rock on the sacred way between Lerna and Elaius, just like Zeus does with Typhon and the mountain.
Hercules versus Hydra is not the only remnant of the ancient Chaoskampf in Hellenic tradition, but it is the best.

I am sick and tired of Christians. How someone can be so blind, is beyond me. I can understand the idiocy of people a thousand years ago – they saw their neighbors being slaughtered in the name of Jesus and God and simply had to convert. Eventually, others followed up and literally “believed”, because they were not allowed to possess or read the Bible themselves.
You could only “hear about Christianity” directly from a Priest. They had total control over their “religion”. No one forced them to tell the people the “nice stuff”. And, if you haven’t noticed – they need to “convert you”. They have to wash away (baptize) your European self and then call upon you the Jewish entity. The Symbolism is self-evident. Anyway, people were not reading the Bible at all – they didn’t know how to read, there were no books, they didn’t know Latin or Greek.
Axe of Perun
I appreciate Tom having a balanced view here however I would strongly disagree. Platonism is a transcendental and universalist proposition. This is completely incompatible with Heathen and foundational IE theology at large.
Heathenry is natural and determined with a clear immanent understanding of cosmology. When the myths say that you die, go to Hel for judgement and then are later reincarnated, you can't then apply a philosophy that says the opposite. That by definition is a heretical understanding of the sources.
Platonists get around this by saying that the myths are just metaphors. Myths are the inherited story of a race of people. If the myths don't matter then our creation doesn't matter and then who we are as a people doesn't matter. It's only a step away from gender, borders and race don't matter.
The Plato to Christianity to Liberalism to woke deathcult pipeline is objectively the case.
Obviously Plato is a much more sympathetic figure than the freaks having transgender throuples today but the lineage is there.
Universalism is 100% heretical to the heathen worldview. One universal truth, one universal morality is the foundation that globalism and transhumanism stands on. Which is the opposite of our Germanic ancestors who were fiercly tribal.
Heathens don't need Platonism. All of the important questions of the human experience can be answered within heathen sources. At best it's a distraction and at worst it's completely incompatible in places.
Also Socrates was literally executed for heresy.

The traditional tale of saving the princess is all about the said princess, but in this story we have Dobrynia rescuing countless other people from the dragon’s offsprings which elevates him as a national hero.
Читать полностью…
The first battle was to be the last with the hero just killed the dragon, but later the plot expended and we got the serpent’s oath and Dobrynia sparing it’s life.
This made the tale more unique, but also created an inner contradiction. In their first battle Dobrynia wins quickly despite being literally naked and outside of his element and then, in the second half, they fight for hours (days in other versions) despite the hero being fully armed this time and standing on solid ground.
Even though I am usually against trying to find remnants of the myth in the folk tales this is a rare exception since here the traces of the cosmic Chaoskampf are too obvious to ignore.
In the river encounter Dobrynia takes the place of Perun while the dragon of the mountain is a stand-in for the primordial Chaos serpent. The use of club (or some other blunt object) is also noteworthy.
Those who read/heard the tale will agree that it can be split in two parts both culminating in Dobrynia defeating the dragon, but despite featuring the same hero and villain those two halves are very different.
