I enjoyed this new documentary which touches on many of the themes in Evola’s The Mystery of the Grail.

His ideas about the meaning of romantic relations within the context of chivalric literature are interesting.

"Wilt thou do the deed and repent it? thou hadst better never been born:
Wilt thou do the deed and exalt it? then thy fame shall be outworn:
Thou shalt do the deed and abide it, and sit on thy throne on high,
And look on today and tomorrow as those that never die."

This talk describes how genetic and isotope evidence shows how the Neolithic Anatolians shifted from a family based living system, with relatives buried under the home, to a system in which unrelated people were buried under houses and are presumed also to have lived together.

Grimm believed Hrêða/Hrêðe to be cognate to Old High German Hrouda, with a connection to Hludana, attested in Frisia and western Germany, the root of whose name means fame, not unlike victorious/famous in Hrêðe.
Grimm linked Hludana with Old Norse Hlóðyn, a byname of Jörð/Frigg, who is also referred to as Hlín in the Völuspá, meaning protector. As a goddess governing fate, it makes sense She would be invoked in battle.

"After recognizing that “nothing exists, all is permitted,” and the “freedom of the spirit,” the inevitable consequence is the challenge: “Now prove the nobility of your nature.”"

“It is also possible to suppose that mechanical inventions, developed even further and further, may reach a point where they will seem so dangerous that men will feel impelled to renounce them, either from the terror gradually aroused by some of their consequences, or else following on a cataclysm which everyone is at liberty to picture as he pleases.” ‘Intro to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines’ - Guenon

Guenon’s theory that horrifying technological advances could be a catalyst, signifying the high water mark for the cult of progress before the West turns instead to a more Traditionally oriented civilisational mode, is represented in popular science fiction as "reactionary technophobia".

Specifically where post human ideals are represented, we find frequent examples of a mania for the dissolution of the organic human in favour of a new “higher”, mechanised version. While there were many films and novels of this genre (beginning perhaps with Shelley’s Frankenstein 1818) which serve as warnings of the dangers of the post-human or post-organic ideal; The Glass Bees, The Terminator, Demon Seed, Colossus: The Forbin Project, etc. In more recent years the trend is to portray post-humanism in a positive light, with sympathy for the cyborgs, augmented humans and artificial intelligences.

Fritz Lang’s Metropolis Movie 1927, foreshadowed much of what was to come in post-human sci-fi. It was remade as an anime in 2001 Metropolis (2001 film), in which the proletariat revolution against machines was preserved, but combined with a separate reaction from a privately funded “Fascist” organisation called the Marduks. Due to the Shinto religion’s belief that a kami (spirit) can occupy a robot, the sympathy for AI in Japanese cinema is more nuanced than the purely progressive representations in the West.

Another anime, Ghost in the Shell, while generally uncritical of the processes that lead to post-human conditions, is not altogether without merit. That being said the spin off series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex features a typically anti-traditional plot-line in which the cybernetic police must battle an anti-refugee terrorist group named Individual Eleven, whose inspiration, a fictional political theorist named Patrick Sylvester, was based on Yukio Mishima and the essays the group disseminates are based on Mishima's "Kindai Nohgaku Shu (Modern Noh Collection)". However, the depiction of Sylvester is not entirely unsympathetic….

‘If one were to give one’s life as a revolutionary leader, that life would be sublimated into something transcendent. In death, a hero meets his mortal end, but he gains eternity.’ Patrick Sylvester.

Such nuances are entirely absent in modern films such as Lucy, in which a kind of false transcendence is celebrated. The review on Gornahoor puts it perfectly.

“Although Lucy achieves something like the Absolute Self, she is still “other”. Although she provides the world with all knowledge as bits on a flash drive, she does not solve the problem of meaning. What do they do with that knowledge? What does it all mean? Ultimately, nothing.” Cologero –Review of “Lucy” 2014.

The left is determined to undermine all conventional identity structures (nationhood, gender, race etc) in an effort to disorientate the individual, seemingly in preparation for the “new man” a post-human cyborg, entirely dependent on technology of diverse forms. It is therefore pertinent to discuss the subject of post-humanism in popular culture in detail. STJ October 2016

The famous Viking Egill Skallagrimsson was gifted by Odin with a poetic skill that was evident by the time he was three years old when he composed his first public verses.

He was still a child when he composed the above prophetic verse for his Mother about his future as a Viking. It is the basis for the 'my mother told me' Viking song.

This art of Egill was created by Ryan Murray for my coming film about the heroes of the Icelandic sagas.

For the work I do on Survive the Jive, I would like to earn a decent living. The minimum wage for over 21 years olds in UK is about $2360 USD per month. Between Subscribestar and Patreon I make around $2700 but I support a family of four on this. I also get a little money from ads, but I am still quite a low earner.

Hope not Hate receives over half a million dollars a year in donations in a bad year. In better years it received millions.

Despite being propped up by the UK deep state and given acting roles on Game of Thrones, the transexual communist 'Philosophy Tube', who, like Hope not Hate, ran a hit piece on me, has monthly earnings from Patreon estimated to be between $5,000 and $59,000. He/she has 6,221 paid members compared to my 278.

I don't regularly ask for support as I like to devote as much of my time as I can to creating documentaries, however these posts are occasionally necessary to remind people that STJ will only continue with your help. The left are happy to fund creators who don't even need the money.

My coming film about Iceland may well be the best documentary I have ever made, so watch this space!

This 2nd/3rd c. Roman inscription from Bornheim, Germany translates as "after heeding the warning, Nigrinia Titul donated to Mercurius Hranno gladly and deservedly."

"Hranno" is Germanic and is cognate with one of Odin's names "Hrani." We also know that Odin was associated with the Roman god Mercurius. The proposed etymology requires PGmc Hrainô in alternative form or altered by metathesis to be Hranjô which then becomes Hrannjô from gemination of the consonant preceding -j- which is rendered by the Roman as Hrannon due to early west Germanic use of -on suffix as a form for the accusative of -an stem words. The same PGmc word became
Proto Norse Hranji and then ON Hrani. If correct this is the earliest written mention of Wotanaz

Bronze age Nordic women sometimes wore very very provocative short skirts. Thomas Froncek describes this in his book The Norhmen, and the theory that maybe only high class women wore them as a kind of boast that they could dress how they liked without being raped or harassed because they were so powerful. Other women in the Nordic Bronze age wore very long dresses but that isn’t so interesting to look at. The artwork if called Rites at Dawn by Christian Sloan Hall
