They’re Here. My Third and Fourth Books are Available Now!

My new books and the infamous essay have launched and are now available for purchase. This will be a fairly short and straightforward post.

Here’s the links:
Shining Meadhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1947407163
Occult Meadhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1947407171

Occult Mead features my breakthrough essay, “Wewelsburg’s So-Called ‘Black Sun’ is Really Himmler’s Round Table and Grail,” in which I make the best case that there has ever been for the identifying the notorious sun wheel that Himmler put on the floor of Wewelsburg’s North Tower as an icon of King Arthur’s Round Table and the Holy Grail. I now call the symbol the Round Table Sun Wheel.

One of my advance readers summed it up with: “Once you see it, you can never unsee it.” I know I certainly could never unsee it. I know that not everyone will be convinced. But now there’s a new challenge—and a warning—shining out from what was once a swirling void that has had the most ridiculous nonsense projected into it.

The essay is also available separately in digital form at my Skaldic Eagle Flight School site:

There’s memes to go with this, though they’ll probably be coming tomorrow or so. But what do you think about a Round Table solution to the most notorious mystery of Nazi occultism? And will you be getting a copy of one or more of these?

It’s On, Books Going Live Soon

It’s on. The proof copies look great, and my books will be going live for purchase at potentially any moment. And I’ll also debut the controversial essay as a stand-alone digital offering (that was the plan all along, pardon I didn’t really say that before now), especially for those who don’t want to wait for the print editions. Here are some details:

Poetry Book: Shining Mead, black & white trade paperback, xii + 132 pages.
Essay Book: Occult Mead, standard color trade paperpack, xviii + 194 pages.
Stand-Alone Essay: “Wewelsburg…,” color pdf, vi + 66 pages.

Yes, color! There are numerous pictures in the notorious essay, and I’m pleased to offer them in color to everyone, not just those who get the digital edition of the essay. There’s no difference between the book and stand alone-versions of the essay (not even the page numbering), except for a slight change in the running heads, and of course, that all the links are clickable in the digital version.

Allons-y.
Tear down the wall!
Warp speed, engage.
Chevron 7 locked.
3, 2, 1, ignition full thrust.

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. There’s no more teasers. Also, no more posts are planned until the reveal, the live purchase links for the books and essay, and more memes.

Announcing the Apocalypse of the So-Called “Black Sun”

Yesterday, I posted my book cover with a notorious symbol on it that has wrongly been called a “black sun” for many decades. This symbol is infamous because it’s from the floor of the North Tower of Wewelsburg, the castle that Himmler was turning into a spiritual headquarters for the SS. Though partly inspired by Merovingian-era sun wheels (Zierscheibe, “ornamental disk”), it has such striking differences from them that no exact model exists. Though what’s in Wewelsburg is an authoritative source for its fans, most of those mimicking it can’t be arsed to get it right. Internet examples vary widely. But accept no substitutions: my essay on the topic is about the genuine article in the castle (and not the cheap internet knockoffs), because that’s the key to the mystery.

“Apocalypse” has a primary definition these days of “complete final destruction,” but with Greek etymological roots meaning “uncovering, revealing.” Both meanings are in play here, for I have come not to praise the so-called “Black Sun” identity, but to bury it! Yes, many will still call it a “black sun” anyway, but that’s not stopping me from throwing down the gauntlet on this.

What should it be called instead? Quite simply, what it really is. Yes, I propose a solution to the mystery of what Himmler intended it to be, and why he put it on the floor in Wewelsburg. It’s a more reasonable solution than most can imagine. But nobody found all the keys to it before. And that’s what’s behind all that redacted stuff in my book and essay titles. Not everyone will agree with my solution, though it is the right one. 😉 But whether you agree or not, this is a solution worth taking seriously, and in 80 years, there has never been one of those before!

Spoiler 1: It is 100% *not* a Norse mythology symbol, absolute final and full stop.
Spoiler 2: Invoking it is spiritually dangerous for those who abuse what it is.

What do you think about the possibility that the most notorious mystery of Nazi occultism finally has a solution? And do you have any guesses as to what it is? Or just favorite crank theories? Here’s some mini memes to go with it.

The Storm: The Cover of My New Essay Book

The cover of my new essay book! Occult Mead features a notorious icon, the Wewelsburg sun wheel, which is assuredly not a black sun despite everything! (Remember, I posted a true black sun yesterday!) 😀 Many of you don’t recognize it, and my apologies, but this post won’t explain it. But others recognize this, and you’re probably thinking “WTF, Eirik?” Of course, I know that Virtuous People™ aren’t supposed to touch it!

So it’s needful to say a bit about why it’s on the cover—because I have an essay about it in my book. Though only 1 of 9 essays, it is 30% of the total word count, and fairly significant. Some will say it’s the most important thing ever written about that symbol. So if I were ever to put it on a book cover, past, present, or future, now is the only possible time, and so I did.

Why would I write 20k words on that thing? What could possibly be said that hasn’t been vomited repeatedly? What do you think I might say about it? But what else is in the book? This is all straight-up esotericism or whatever you call it. The titles of the 9 essays are:

  1. Odian Wandering Among the “Ettins”: Support for Exploring Wherever the Adventure Leads.
  2. Moldavite as the Stone and the Grail.
  3. Eagle and Gar: Enhancing One’s Rune-Work with These Powerful Symbols.
  4. The Canon of Nine: A Spiritual Call to Arms.
  5. Towards a Meta-Order of Tradition: The Once-and-Future Guild of the Grail.
  6. The Quartets of the Elder Futhark and Anglo-Saxon Futhorc: A Sixfold of Creation, Society, Nature, Cosmos, Divinity, and World.
  7. Fourth Ætt of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc: Triads of Initiation, Knighthood, and Mastery.
  8. Triadic Experiences for my Triple Quests: Examining Revelatory Singularities on My Esoteric Path.
  9. Wewelsburg’s So-Called “Black Sun” is [REDACTED].

Yes, that pesky [REDACTED] is still there. 😀 Are you excited about any of the particular essays?

The Cover of Shining Mead

It’s the cover of my new soon-to-be released poetry book! Shining Mead features a TRUE black sun, a total solar eclipse (and not something wrongly thought to be a black sun). This is from the Great American Eclipse of August 2017, which I got to see. Much thanks to Albo Greene for the photo. You can find her work at <albofilm.com> or over on instagram: <instagram.com/albo.film>

What’s in the book? The poetry is quite different from my first two books, Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites and Eagle’s Mead. Yet these are still poems where the gods live, and Óðrœrir, the Mead of Poetry, is a real, vivifying force that flows through both words and worlds. All of my poems are much more personal this time. They include my reflections on the mission for traditional poetry in today’s world, living abroad for grad school, politics, esotericism, rune work, spirituality, trees, depression, love, sex, and more. This is poetry with a message and an orientation toward transcendence: a Traditionalist perspective from seeking the Mysteries and the Grail. And all of it is in modern English versions of traditional Old English and Old Norse alliterative meters.

It’s not poetry for today’s managerial aristocrats (this ain’t MFA poetry!) or bourgeois aristocrats (it’s not mass-market poetry either), but rather poetry for aristocrats of the soul.

But next up, it’s time for for the 💩 to hit the fan. The last time I posted a controversial book cover (almost 7 years ago), people unfriended me, and I got canceled for it! At least this time, if I get canceled again, it’ll be for my own book cover, and not somebody else’s. 😄

The Calm before the Storm

I’ve been very quiet lately on my mailing list, social media, my Patreon site, and this-here blog. I haven’t quit in any sense, but rather I’ve been very “locked in” as the young people say these days.

I’ve been locked in on my coming book publications: one poetry book, and one essay book. I’m pleased to say they’re almost ready. I’m into the second round of test proof copies for both of them. One of them appears to be at “golden master” status now. The other is in its final tweaking stage before what should be the final proof copy and its release.

So all of my “radio silence” has been the calm before the storm. I’ll be working this launch quite extensively. And there’s not all that much left before the launch sequence gets started in earnest. It’ll be quite a storm!

Storm? Yes. Some of the material in the books, most especially a particular essay, may be seen as rather controversial, even notorious. Though you might not believe me, that’s a bit understated. Will the Skaldic Eagle become infamous? Time will tell.
