Introductory

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 Mead — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1947407163
Occult Mead — https://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”

Posted by

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

Posted by

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. 😄

New Course Launch: American Rune Writing

Posted by

0

I’ve enjoyed teaching my Sacred English course to two cohorts these past two semesters. But I’ve always know that eventually, it would need to fly in a different way, one that allowed students to take it at any time and work through the materials at their own pace. When I started Sacred English last September, I wasn’t sure when that would happen. But the time has arrived, and here it is.

The course is called “American Rune Writing,” and like my other courses, it’s offered through my Skaldic Eagle Flight School. Rather than another cohort or semester-based offering, it’s always open to enrollment, and there’s no time clock for the lessons, so you can go through them and the rest of the course materials at your own pace. That means it’s not as “high touch” as Sacred English, so the exercises come with an answer key, rather than individualized instructor feedback. But the exercises have been expanded a bit, and there are still the online lesson forums where you can ask me and the other students about anything on the lessons.

And to be perfectly clear, it’s not the entirety of Sacred English. Rather, it’s all the rune-writing material from Sacred English, re-organized and spruced up a bit. And by being only the rune material and not the poetry material, I can offer it at a good deal less than the price of Sacred English. (Don’t worry, the poetry portions of Sacred English will get a similar treatment later this year.)

Today, it’s springtime in America for learning to write runes just like an ancient runemaster. With American Rune Writing, you’ll learn:

  • Runes That Speak Your Language
  • Runes in a Living Language, Not a Dead One
  • The Secrets to Writing Exactly Like an Ancient Runemaster
  • The Primordial Tradition, Restored
  • How to Master of the Mysteries of Your Own Speech
  • Declaring Your Runic Independence from the Profane Alphabet
  • The Right Way to Fulfill Odin’s Challenge in the Opening of Hávamál 144
  • How the Runes Exist in the Totality of Your Speech

Instruction has just opened. You can enroll and start learning authentic rune writing today!

For more details, see the description page on my American Futharch website, or just jump straight to the course page and enroll at my Skaldic Eagle Flight School.

Enjoy!

Eagle’s Mead Audio Release!

Posted by

0

My first major poetry book, Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites, was released with an audio collection alongside it, in which I recited many of the best poems from the book. Now, after many years of being in print, I’ve released a similar audio collection for Eagle’s Mead, with 27 tracks and running over an hour in length. And it’s available to preview and purchase on Bandcamp.

It’s an important milestone, because this is the only electronic release associated with it. The Eagle’s Mead book has only ever been released in a single hardcover edition—no paperback, kindle, pdf, or epub whatsoever. (Contrasting VPfHR, which is in both hardcover and paperback, and has been released in epub, kindle, and pdf—and with that audio collection.)

Check it out. If you’ve never read my Eagle’s Mead, this’ll be your first opportunity to experience many of the poems from that book. Like in the book itself, you’ll find a wide variety of poems about runes, magic, and esotericism. And it includes audio recordings of my modern poetic renderings of the ancient rune poems (OERP, OIRP, ONRP) and the Hávamál verses about Odin’s winning of the runes.

Enjoy!

My Rune Course Enrollment Closes Tomorrow!

If you’re the sort who likes waiting until the last minute, then now’s the time, because the last minute has arrived!

Tomorrow evening (that is, Sunday at 700pm Eastern)—and yes, that’s Groundhog Day—enrollment closes for my online course in rune-writing and simple alliterative poetry. It’s called “Sacred English,” and with the combined powers of runes and poetry, you can make your English magical.

Join the American Futharch Revolution, and learn to write runes the way the ancient runemasters wrote them, and with the traditional poetic key.

In Hávamál 144, Odin challenges us to know how to write and read the runes. Are you ready to answer that challenge in the most authentic way possible in over a thousand years?

Not sure if you’ve got the time? After all, it is a cohort-course with a schedule to it. But as part of that, you’ll get plenty of my time—I’ll review the exercises, answer your questions, and prepare the four review lessons based on how the students are doing with the material. That could even include me creating additional teaching materials to address specific needs. It’s a unique opportunity to pick my brain on all this.

And everything will be pre-recorded, so you can fit it in your schedule however you like. Not to mention that you’ll also get to keep a large amount of videos, slides, audio, and guidebooks from the course.

A Free Galdor-Mantra!

Posted by

0

Are you excited about the possibilities of rune magic directly with your native language? Or even just curious for a small slice of that? 

Are ready to try that out with a simple, practical chant that you can learn in only a few minutes, but then use it anywhere to focus your mind or simply call on the power of the runes—all of them together—to fill your spirit?

Or would you like to try learning the sounds for writing but feel that it might be tricky?

Then yes, this free Galdor-Mantra is for you. All of you, and you can learn it with my free mini-course at my Skaldic Eagle Flight School.

Click here for the free course, “A Galdor-Mantra of the American Futharch.”

Why call it a Galdor-Mantra?

  • It’s a Galdor because it uses the sounds of the Runes (in this case all 33 runes of the American Futharch) in order to invoke their meanings for magical or religious purposes. And it’s also meant for you to visualize the rune staves that go with the chanting when you can.
  • It’s a Mantra simply in the sense that it’s designed to be easily repeated over and over, and can be used for many of the same meditative or spiritual purposes that other mantras are used for.

Enjoy!
