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?
