“To be Pagan in the 21st century is not to worship Odin—it is to live as if life itself were divine.” - Guillaume Faye
Modern Paganism is often tied to half-baked reconstructions of antiquarian & outmoded religions—to Larping as a lost culture. While I find immense value in immersing myself in our ancient myths, True Paganism is not static, it’s dynamic
Paganism moves with a people, exalting the triumphs & tragedies of each generation while maintaining a mythic sense of racial origin & destiny. It is not shackled by time, lost to a bygone age, but stands above time, ever-present within the cosmos & the body alike. You do not convert to Paganism, you are born with it as instinct, intuition & blood memory
Paganism embodies the spark of Life itself; beyond death, material futility & linear time. It was waiting for you before your father impregnated your mother in sacred reunion, & will always reappear in the future so long as Energy, Order & Distinction do battle with Entropy, Chaos & Dissolution
Paganism revitalizes the blood of a people by mythologizing the eternal return of racial spirit, demonstrated through heroic ascent. It is not reliant on ancient texts, but is rediscovered through action. It is the living, breathing memory of a people—not stagnant scriptures composed by a foreign spirit which recounts a foreign people’s origin, triumphs, tragedies & destiny
More than anything, Paganism is a worldview, a total Weltanschauung—it is the fanatical supra-religious belief in hierarchy, racial destiny, excellence, personal fate, nature & the sacredness of Life itself

Pagan Gods do not die, they sleep & wake with new names when the time is right
Our Pagan ancestors knew the terrible truth: even Gods are overthrown & forgotten, as was prophesied in every branch of the Aryan Tradition—Germanic, Hellenic, Slavic, Vedic—all had Primordial Beings overthrown by Titans/Giants, who were then overthrown by the Gods—& Ragnarök was known to come for them as well
But they also knew where there is terribleness, beauty emerges as direct consequence & companion. While Gods eventually pass out of memory, the metaphysical orientation which undergirds & transcends the historical names & faces of Gods are undying, bound in blood & revelatory in cosmic struggle
Behind & above the human interpretation of Gods is the Force, the Form, the Numen—that which is timeless, destined to return under a new name & face, but still embodying that sacred heroic flame of immortality. The heart & soul of Paganism survives so long as our people still draw breath on this earth
The future of European spirituality, philosophy & myth is Pagan, or better put, Aryan. Wotan & Apollo, Heathenry & Hellenism—these are wonderful substructures but ultimately fossils. The future demands a new name, a new face, one who is fresh in our memory & insurmountable in cultural significance. One who embodies the natural Spirit & existential struggle of our people
The future demands HitIerism
