It seems suitable to point out

One reason that I favor a mixed capitalist economy is because Dionysos does. Hell, he invented the system: It seems suitable to point out the various discoveries of different persons. Father Liber...

Dionysos and the Jews

I’d comment on the increasing tide of Black-on-Jew violence but I don’t really discuss other acts of terrorism when they occur so it’d be kind of weird, ya know? Almost as weird as the silence of...

Mixing

Hmm. I just realized something that sets us apart from pretty much all other forms of Heathenry – and possibly makes us unique among contemporary polytheisms. And it’s not the mixing of Greek with...

Speaking of mixing …

Lenaia is coming up.  How are you going to celebrate? I’ve got some suggestions here if you’re still in the planning stage: https://bakcheion.wordpress.com/lenaia/

Day by day

Between the flower-crown and clown make-up it’s kind of hard not to see Dionysos and his Bakchai in this. And these words: Three things I pray To see thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow...

Ragnarök all day and all night

I was just reading Völuspá stanza 41: Fylliz fiǫrvi feigra manna, rýðr ragna siǫt rauðom dreyra. Svǫrt verða sólskin of sumor eptir, veðr ǫll válynd. Vitoð ér enn, eða hvat? Did you catch what the...

Watch The Stars, That Tremble With Love And With Hope.

Manowar wanted to honor the operatic influence of their earlier work (such as 1992’s Triumph of Steel which contains their epic retelling of the Matter of Troy) and so for their 2002 album Warriors of...

A Franz Ferdinand moment

Wow, man has there been a lot of talk of Franz Ferdinand over the last couple days. Do they have a new album coming out soon or something?

At least it’s not California

Saw this news story – Meth-Addled Carjacker Kidnaps Man and Goat From Missouri Porn Store – and it made me think of another story. Apparently Missouri has decided to out-Florida Florida.

Speaking of stories I’ve heard before

Trump over the last couple days is starting to remind me of Marcus Licinius Crassus.  I mean, except for the part where Crassus actually met the Parthians in pitched battle.

Circles, etc.

I know that my humor can be a little opaque at times. This was in reference to the comparisons I’d been seeing between General Qasem Soleimani and Archduke Franz Ferdinand – which, personally, I don’t...

And leave something witchy.

It was always you, Helen.

Having kind of a “duh” moment. Although I had connected Dionysos with the Black Sun well before I experienced the dream wherein he gave me his controversial spoked symbol it took me a while to realize...

Maybe even two of them

Again, my humor’s a bit opaque. What’s discussed in the post Mixing isn’t genuine Starry Bear theology; it is the plot to my Black Star Rising poetic cycle, of which 10 out of 13 books are complete. By...

By the great Tetraktys I pray

Lately I’ve been thinking and talking a lot about the Pythagoreans, particularly with regard to their connections with the North. But they were also pretty important in the South. In fact there was a...

Dice, dildos and an upright standing dog who talks 

An older piece on reconstructionism. My views have shifted somewhat but the article largely holds up I think.  I was recently asked where I stood on the reconstructionist spectrum; whether I thought...

Each of our Gods has this level of complexity (and paradox)

In the Nyktelios post (paraphrasing the arguments I set forth here) I made the following comparison: … much as the Egyptian solar deity Rē fuses with Osiris in the Duat. I discussed the question of...

Also Sprach Zarathustra

One of the reasons that this whole situation with Iran concerned me enough to write about it here is that I’m developing an appreciation for some of her Pre-Islamic faiths and their influence on the...

Io Dionysos, son of Semele, bestower of Earth’s rich bounty!

Although the Hudson Valley Bakcheion held our Lenaia celebration over the weekend, today’s the official start of the festival, so I wish y’all blessed and ecstatic communion with the Lord of the Vine...
