"My Name Is Not My Own..." is a poem by Vincent Enlund whom penned it originally back in 2006 after he heard a story. However, it wasn't until 2007 when he first published it as part of an Asatru/Odinist (Germanic Native Faith) poster. Later in 2010, Viking Vinyl made a wall art piece of it (2012, 2013, 2014) and the poem, unaccredited, went viral.

Beautifully detailing his spiritual pilgrimage
from West to East and back again, in the age of strife known as the
Kali Yuga, Aki Cederberg shares the authentic and unbroken magical
traditions he experienced in India and Nepal and how his search for a
spiritual homeland ultimately led him back to his native
Europe.
Cederberg explains how his odyssey began as a
search for spiritual roots, something missing in the spiritually
disconnected life of the Western world, where the indigenous
traditions were long ago severed by the spread of Christianity.
Traveling to India, he encounters the ancient esoteric order of
mystic, wild, naked holy men known as the Naga Babas, the living
source of the Hindu traditions of magic and yoga. Immersing himself
in the teachings of the tradition, he receives an initiation and
partakes in the Kumbh Mela, the largest spiritual gathering on Earth.
With his evocative descriptions, Cederberg shows how traveling in
India can be an overwhelming, even psychedelic experience. Everything
in this ancient land is multiplied and manifold: people and things,
sights and sounds, joy and suffering. Yet beyond the apparent
confusion and chaos, a strange, subtle order begins to reveal itself.
He starts to glimpse resemblances and analogies between the teachings
of the Indian tradition and the Western traditions of magic, alchemy,
and pagan pantheons. He meets a wide cast of characters, from
mystical hucksters in Rishikesh and the veritable army of naked,
chillum-smoking mystics of Maya Devi to Goa Gil, the world-renowned
guru of the Goa techno-trance scene, and Mahant Amar Bharti Ji,
an urdhvabahu or “raised-arm Baba,” who for more than
40 years has held up one arm in devotion to Shiva.
After
extensive traveling and immersing himself in the extraordinary world
of India, Cederberg returns to his native soil of Europe. Traveling
to holy places where old pagan divinities still linger in the shadows
of the modern world, he dreams of forgotten gods and contemplates how
they might be awakened yet again, reconnecting the West with its own
pre-Christian spiritual traditions, sacred landscapes, and soul.
"When the Indians
first made their appearance on the Klamath river it was already
inhabited by a white race of people known among us as the Wa-gas.
These white people were found to inhabit the whole continent, and
were a highly moral and civilized race. They heartily welcomed the
Indians to their country and taught us all of their arts and
sciences. The Indians recognized the rights of these ancient people
as the first possessors of the soil..."

"The blood is the
sacred and mystical link between man and spirit, of flesh and the

once wrote, "Dein Blut, dein höchstes Gut!" Indeed, the
blood is our highest possession, for without the purity of blood,
like a tree severed from its roots, our people and consequently our
spiritual folk-ways, wither and die. As the Chilean Maestro, explorer
and poet Don Miguel Serrano once opined, "There is nothing more
mysterious than blood", and the sacred red key that unlocks the
door to the mysteries must be preserved lest that door be closed and
lost for all time."
"Even today, I
would go halfway round the world to find a book if I thought it

for those few authors who have given me something special. For this
reason, I can never understand the tepid youth of today who wait for
books to be given to them and who neither search nor admire. I would
go without eating in order to get a book, and I have never liked
borrowing books, because I have always wanted them to be absolutely
mine so that I could live with them for hours on end.
As with men, it has
always seemed to me that books have their own peculiar destinies.
They go towards the people who are waiting for them and reach them at
the right moment. They are made of living material and continue to
cast light through the darkness long after the death of their
authors."

"Maïeutics, a term for "midwifery", is (here) a name for a Socratic method of "giving birth to minds".

Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya (Dr. Frank Morales Ph.D., known affectionately by his followers and students as Sri Acharyaji or Sri Acharya Ji), born Frank Gaetano Morales in Brooklyn, New York City in August 1963, is a Guru and Acharya of Sanatana Dharma, President and Acharya of the International Sanatana Dharma
Society, a world-wide movement dedicated to teaching Dharma
spirituality,[1] and the director of the Center for the
Study of Dharma and Civilization.[2a]
Sri Acharyaji, formerly known as Sri Nayaka[2b] is also a follower
of Visishtadvaita philosophy[3][4] and originated the terms Veridical Analysis[5] and "Radical Universalism"
(the belief that all religions and teachings are essentially the
same.), which 'Hindus are frequent to embrace'.[6][7][8]
BACKGROUND
Sri Acharyaji, a European-American of Italian and Spanish descent,
was born in Brooklyn, New York City in August 1963.[9a][9b][10][11] At
14, he visited the first Hindu temple built in North America,
the Ganapati Temple in Flushing, Queens. It was at
this time that he decided to dedicate his life to Sanatana Dharma. He
lived the highly disciplined life of a celibate Hindu monk for

“This secret I’ve
kept for many years… Once it is told, my own life’s adventures
will be better explained, particularly my voyage to Antarctica in
1947-48.” - The Golden Thread, Esoteric Hitlerism.
"Este secreto lo

las aventuras de mi propia vida, en especial mi viaje a la Antártida,
en 1947-48". - El Cordón Dorado, Hitlerismo Esotérico.
“The Hitlerist
Cosmogony was revealed to me in Antarctica in 1948, shortly after the
end of the Great War. It was during my lonely search for the dog lost
in the ice and during my first encounter with the Disc of Uncreated
Light. Beyond the cogitated thought and the memory in the brain, the
revelation was instantaneous, forever forgotten and remembered, so
that within only twenty years it has again come to the surface,
enabling me to collect it in the ‘unremembered memory’ and to
transcribe it in the ‘Esoteric Hitlerist Trilogy’. But it was
there yonder, on the Rock of Sils Maria, at the feet of Nietzsche,
that it resurfaced, expanding itself.”- Memories of Him and Me:
The Return, vol. 4.
At its core, a pointless debate which adds absolutely nothing to the divine journey or towards knowledge of the true Self. Only endlessly entertaining the spiritually shallow and inept and keeping the talkers rather than doers busy.
Far too often we see the topic of folkish versus universalist constantly flaring up like an infected sore. But for what purpose does endless debate on this issue serve? An issue that, dealt with long ago and burning only due to the fuel that it is fed, would otherwise dissipate into nothingness – that which it is and deserves if starved of oxygen.
There is NO discussion on whether or not the Native Faith of the European people is folkish or universalist. This is because it’s a non-issue in and of itself and not relevant in any degree when an ounce of thought is put to it. For the wise no words are needed. Anything else other than the self-evident is a bastardisation of eternal and natural truth.
Why focus on it, endlessly debating and criticising? To convert someone? Maybe those in need of education on something so simple are not of the intellectual calibre you really desire to surround yourself with. Those that do not see self-evident truth naturally are not worth your time. The reality is that any further discussion on this matter only gives it more credit than it is due - none.
An now in English. Wise words from the Magi on "criticism" and "critics"...
On "critics"
and "criticism"
... What causes a
person to become a critic? Why for some people to criticize others becomes more important than to seek their own Path?
As often as we teach
others, we criticize that which is created by them – living not one's own but THEIR life. As is often in the humiliation of others we
see a way to transcend, if not to others, at least in our own eyes!
We are squandering
ourselves in endless and useless disputes, in which THE TRUTH IS NEVER BORN. In disputes, in which LOVE DIES.
Over the centuries of
its existence, mankind has invented countless ways to ESCAPE FROM
ITSELF. The simplest of them – is an escape into someone else, in
others, in other people’s problems and destinies.
The inability to be
alone with YOURSELF, to peer into the Infinite within yourself, the
inability to accept yourself as you are – is this not the reason
for this escape?

ими, — проживая не свою, а ИХ жизнь. Как
часто в унижении других мы видим способ
возвыситься, если не в чужих, то хотя бы
в своих глазах!
Мы растрачиваем
себя в бесконечных и бесполезных спорах,
в которых НИКОГДА НЕ РОЖДАЕТСЯ ИСТИНА.
В спорах, в которых УМИРАЕТ ЛЮБОВЬ.

The roots of Native Faith, the ancestral bonds of our spiritual worldview, lay not in the past and the mists of time, but in eternity – stretching from time immemorial to the far reaches of our people’s future – an eternal sacred connection with the blood.
01. Odinism - The spiritual expression of the folk-soul of our people.
02. Odinism - The antithesis to dogmatic spiritual conformity.
03. Odinism - To live in accordance and harmony with nature and her eternal laws.
04. Odinism - The authentic intrinsic need for the search for truth, the nature of being and the true Self.
05. Odinism - The exploration and continuity of ancestral heritage, native land, wildlife, native people and Gods.
06. Odinism - The spiritual breath of our understanding of the cosmos and the world around us and beyond.
07. Odinism - To honour the past, venerate the ancestors, live effectively in the present and secure the future.
08. Odinism - The non-dual nature of being, the world, of Gods and men.
09. Odinism - To respect, love, nurture, honour – to Live.
As we sail upon the vast ocean that is modernism, ignorance and materialism, those of us that see Native Faith as an island and shelter in this lingering storm of spiritual and folkish decay know well that this revolt against the modern world, this spiritual re-awakening to the call of the blood, is not the preservation of ash, but the transfer of live fire.
The wind carries the whispers of our ancestors and the ancient knowledge. The ways of true understanding can be heard rustling in the trees of Native Faith. But it is up to us to hear the call of the blood if we truly want to understand, beyond mere survival, the world around us and our true purpose here.
Remember - at its core, Odinism, our Germanic Native Faith, is not the preservation of ash, but the transfer of live fire!

Возникает много заблуждений в вопросе соотношения Путей Правой и
Левой руки с Одинизмом. Наиболее распространённым из них является
мнение, что Путь Правой руки соотносится с «добром», а Путь Левой руки
со «злом». Однако к практикующим на Пути Левой руки не применимы
моральные ограничения и рамки, устанавливаемые этикой. Кто должен
устанавливать эти ограничения? Путь Правой руки не является чем-то
хорошим или правильным – в ощущении быть правым и Путь Левой руки не
является чем-то плохим или неправильным – в ощущении быть неправым.
Путаница возникает в разных аспектах.
В первую очередь, необходимо понять, что Пути не откроются только
через их описание Западной традицией, особенно той, что относится к
Сатанизму, Сетианству, Кроулеизму или Викке. Хотя там и присутствуют
интересные нам элементы, было бы ошибкой ограничивать Пути этой Западной
интерпретацией.
Svarte Publishing are pleased to announce that vol. 1 of Warha (Europe) has been published in English!
WARHA EUROPE is an almanac
of Pagan Traditionalism and the Left Hand Path.
We are pleased to
present the first pilot issue of almanac Warha in English!
Already
a couple of years we publish our almanac in Russia, publishing in it
the exclusive translations and interviews on topics of religion,
mythology, traditionalism, paganism and the Left Hand Path. From our
almanac many authors first appeared in Russian and became familiar
with the Russian-speaking audience. And now we have decided to build
the bridge in the direction from the Russian authors to the Western
public.
There is a lot of confusion as to what the distinctions of the Paths of the Left and Right Hand are in relation to Odinism. The most common misconception is that the Right-Hand Path is “good” and that the Left-Hand Path is somehow “evil”. But genuine practitioners or explorers of the Left-Hand Path are not subject to such moral constraints, and limited ethical definitions. Who is to set the ethics and morals of one above the other? The Right-Hand is not good, or right - in the sense of correctness and the Left-Hand is not bad, or wrong - in the sense of being incorrect. The confusion arises from a number of areas.
Firstly, it must be understood that the Paths should not be seen from the perspective of the definitions from that of the Western tradition, especially anything in line remotely with Satanism, Setianism, Crowleyism, or Wicca. Whilst there may very well be overlaps, it would be a mistake to define the Paths by this Western interpretation.
With Ynglism (Инглиизм)
becoming increasingly popular in the West, including certain
individuals trying to incorporate elements of this fraudulent fake
Rodnovery ideology (which no genuine Rodnover takes seriously, more
the gullible and unknowing) within the resurgence of Odinism /
Asatru, removing a couple of persons already, and even to have active
communities in the West to spread their message to those within the
Odinist / Asatru Native Faith communities in Europe and America
(Odinist/Asatru-fraudulent Rodnovery-Ynglist hybrid). Many are drawn
to this bastardisation because of the pro-white and esoteric root -
know the frauds and ego driven liars.

the Conclave (ToS) held in Austin, Texas by Dr. Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D. (Edred Thorsson) on the concept of Rûna and how it applies to ones
initiation.
This document (PDF file above) was sent to me by Dr. Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D. whom introduced it as "sort of
an introduction to the Mazdan religion", which I believe was penned by
himself and edited by Michael J. Moynihan.
Mazdan is a "restored Indo-European religion... based on the prophetic
insight of the ancient priest Zarathustra who lived in Central Asia
almost four thousand years ago." As Dr. Flowers has stated in the newsletter, Lodestar IV (February 2015), "One of our projects at this time is the development of a church or temple for the establishment of a restored Indo-European religion. This is based on the prophetic insight of the Aryan priest Zarathustra, who lived in Central Asia 3,700 years ago. Our vehicle will be known as the Occidental Temple of the Wise Lord and will be completely universal in its appeal. This is the Aryan mission to the whole wide world.

Настоящий, подлинный, без личин, без прикрас. Сопричастный всему сущему,
Земле и Небу. Истинный Сын Божий, а не «раб божий». Само слово
происходит от древнерусского языки, или языци, что значит — «народы».
Таким образом, Язычество — это Вера Народная. Не выдуманная кем-то, а
рождённая самой Душою Народа. Своя Родовая Вера — это Родная Вера, или
Родноверие. Родная Вера — это не слепая вера в нечто неизвестное,
неизведанное, а непосредственное Ведание, Природное и Духовное, Вера
Родным Богам и доверие личному Духовному опыту, а также Верность Заветам
Предков, Родовому Искону.
The Bratina is a ceremonial vessel that passes around the circle of
attendees at gatherings of sacred rites and celebrations in both
Rodnovery and Odinism. The Bratina is received in both hands, with a
slight bow, and held to the heavens, then lowered and a small part of
its contents are poured onto the ground, offering a sacrifice to the
Gods. Bratina are also placed at shrines or altars to the Gods.

:
We come into this world
empty, with nothing. Everything of which we perceive ourselves to be
is illusion, mere attachments which we pick up along the way. We do
not understand at this early stage why we are here, and one may never
learn or even enquire. We are born, and we just 'are'. But if that is
all, that we just 'are', then the natural question should arise -
what 'are' we? and who am 'I'? This should then naturally lead to the
search for the 'I', the 'what am'.

If Nazi
Aryan discourse and racially orientated forms of modern Paganism
represent a xenophobic and racist response to scholarly research into
ancient Into-European commonalities, other Pagans have been inspired
in a quite different manner. Conscious of the linkages that scholars
have made between pre-Christian Pagan Europeans and ancient Hindu
Indians, some modern Pagans have come to view modern Indians as their
long-lost cousins and to regard the religion of Hinduism as their
oldest spiritual relative. This thinking is based on the dating of
the earliest Hindu texts, the Vedas, to somewhere in the range of
1500-1200 BCE by most scholars. The Vedas were written in a language,
Vedic, that is an early form of Sanskrit, with

far beyond the mountains of the Pāriyātra Parvata, that seven Aryan
teachers, known as Rṣis, the Saptarṣi, descended from the Russian
steppe and brought with them to northern India the Sanskrit language
and sacred knowledge. This numinous Aryan wisdom was later compiled
into the sacred texts which we have today, known as the Vedas. This
knowledge, which the white teachers brought with them, laid the
foundations for what is known today as Hinduism, Brahmanism, and
Buddhism. This ancient knowledge is the pillar of these mystical
spiritualities.
"The doctrine of
equality! ... But there is no more venomous poison in existence: for
it appears to be preached by justice itself, when it is actually the
end of justice ... "Equality to the equal; inequality to the
unequal" - that would be true justice speaking: and its
corollary, "never make the unequal equal". - Friedrich
Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols", Expeditions of an
Untimely Man, 48, (1888).
"The worst form of
inequality is to try to make unequal things equal." - Aristotle (This first
appears in 1974 in an explanation of Aristotle's politics in Time
magazine, before being condensed to an epigram as "Aristotle's
Axiom" in Peter's People (1979) by Laurence J. Peter).
"What part of
equality don't I understand? The "e". It ruins the rest of
the word".- Alex Kurtagic, Twitter, February 12, 2017 (Source)
"Granted that such an incarnate will for contradiction and
unnaturalness is induced to philosophise; on what will it vent its pet
caprice? On that which has been felt with the greatest certainty to be
true, to be real; it will look for error in those very places where the
life instinct fixes truth with the greatest positiveness. It will, for
instance, after the example of the ascetics of the Vedanta Philosophy,
reduce matter to an illusion, and similarly treat pain, multiplicity,
the whole logical contrast of "Subject" and "Object" — errors, nothing
but errors! To renounce the belief in one's own ego, to deny to one's
self one's own "reality" — what a triumph! and here already we have a
much higher kind of triumph,
"Без
агхорической садханы путь Бхайрава Каулы немыслим вообще. Поэтому те,
кто не имеет интереса к подобным практикам, кто не имеет смелости и силы
духа для подобной мистической работы, должны оставить даже тень идеи
войти в поток этого учения.
Агхорические медитации хорошо делать в
местах кремации, на кладбищах и свалках, в лесах, горах и пустынях,
связанных с проявлением зловещих сил — разрушающих энергий, злых духов и
демонов. Хорошо также практиковать на краю пропасти, на берегу горной
реки, возле вулкана (особенно действующего), а также на дне высохшего
моря или озера. Если вы живете в Индии, то попасть для выполнения
садханы на шмашан — место кремации — легко и просто. Если же вы живете в
западной стране, то ночной лес или кладбище тоже могут помочь в деле
Освобождения.
Существует много разновидностей агхорических
медитаций, важнейшими из которых являются визуализационные ритуальные и
созерцательные
It looks like I am officially stamped Aghori. This is good news as it is lunchtime - show me to the cemetery. ;)
"О,
зачем человек не бессмертен?.. Зачем мозговые центры и извилины, зачем
зрение, речь, самочувствие, гений, если всему этому суждено уйти в почву
и, в конце концов, охладеть вместе с земною корой, а потом миллионы лет
без смысла и без цели носиться с
землею вокруг солнца? Для того чтобы охладеть и потом носиться, совсем
не нужно извлекать из небытия человека с его высоким, почти божеским
умом и потом, словно в насмешку, превращать его в глину... Обмен
веществ! Но какая трусость утешать себя этим суррогатом бессмертия!
Бессознательные процессы, происходящие в природе, ниже даже человеческой
глупости, так как в глупости есть все-таки сознание и воля, в процессах
же ровно ничего. Только трус, у которого больше страха перед смертью,
чем достоинства, может утешать себя тем, что тело его будет со временем
жить в траве, в камне, в жабе... Видеть свое бессмертие в обмене веществ
так же странно, как пророчить блестящую будущность футляру после того,
как разбилась и стала негодною дорогая скрипка." [Антон Павлович Чехов]
"We are
unknown, we knowers, ourselves to ourselves: this has its own good
reason. We have never searched for ourselves—how should it then
come to pass, that we should ever find ourselves? Rightly has it been
said: "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Our treasure is there, where stand the hives of our knowledge. It is
to those hives that we are always striving; as born creatures of
flight, and as the honey-gatherers of the spirit, we care really in
our hearts only for one thing—to bring something "home to the
hive!" As far as the rest of life with its so-called
"experiences" is concerned, which of us has even sufficient
serious interest? or sufficient time? In our dealings with such
points of life, we are, I fear, never properly to the point; to be
precise, our heart is not there, and certainly not our ear. Rather
like one who, delighting in a divine distraction, or sunken in the
seas of his own soul, in whose ear the clock has just thundered with
all its force its twelve strokes of noon, suddenly wakes up, and asks
himself, "What has in point of fact just struck?"
Ведомо мудрым:
есть Десный путь -- путь Света, и Шуйный
-- путь Тьмы. Сторонись Шуйного пути,
пугливая душа! Ибо, пойдя по нему,
потеряешь ты всё, что накопила за жизнь
свою, включая даже самоё себя. Если же
не захочешь отдать всё без остатка, если
хоть толику малую утаишь -- то уловит
тебя Тот, Кто владычествует в Смерти,
зацепит крюком железным за привязанность
твою, и потеряешь ты себя навеки. Но если
правильно видеть, то узришь тайну
великую: двери училища запираются не
снаружи, а... изнутри! И никто иной, как
сам узник -- запирает себя в темнице Духа
своего, цепями привязанность земных
душу свою сковывая, будучи ослеплён
чарами Мары-Мороки, Божественной Супруги
Того, Кто владычествует в Смерти, маяты
мира сего Хранительницы.
"Confront that
which you fear and fear will cease to be. But note that it is a
mistake to become attached to that which you use to destroy those
fears. The antinomian concept is a tool and not a goal and many fall
on the path of return only to become at one with their own delusion,
thinking that they are free... There is no right or wrong path, and
each is free to choose the road to take for the goal that they seek.
But followers of the Road to Hel understand that it is a dangerous
path, where one will loose everything, even the "Self.""
Blindness does not only effect the eyes, but the mind also. Those who
suffer from physical blindness often have highly tuned minds, but those
that are spiritually blind, suffer far many more obstacles in this
world, and thus are unable to see the forest for the trees.
"You
are Odinism, but spread evil Shuyngj path. I cannot understand why you
are interested in Hinduism and Vedism, use in your dark paganism. This
is mud religion, mud people. Nothing to do with us. Not Odinism. Time to
see evil in your path, and step outside. Your path is dangerous to
others."
Scott MacCool has
recently informed me of an article by Collin Cleary that features in
the fourth volume of the TYR Journal that would be of interest to
those who follow the Left-Hand Path in Odinism. The article in
question is called "What is Odinism?". Below is a piece I
found which discusses it. I am not sure if this article is online
yet, as unfortunately I do not have, nor can afford, the fourth TYR
volume, yet.
This thread idea came
to me after reading Collin Cleary's article "What is Odinism?"
from the latest, fourth TYR journal. In the essay he placed Odinism
