Folkish Aryan Paganism

Wolf man by wisniewskistan

Folkishness is starting to make waves in the radical right. It claims to be the answer to the worst problems of modernity. But what is it? How is it different from identitarianism? Mike lays out its basic ideas in plain language. Folkishness is just how people have always lived. They did what their forefathers did. They lived around people of shared blood. They worshipped the same gods. They spoke the same language. So, what in this is new? Why does it have a claim on our attention? ✍️ NEW SUBSTACK: https://imperiumpress.substack.com/p/folkishness-in-brief

Perennialist pagans will look at those two images and say there’s no difference. Bet they don’t mind a literal jew playing Zeus too.

Netflix’s upcoming series Kaos will feature Jeff Goldblum as Zeus. Casting a jew as the king of Greek Gods is very intentionally insulting. Among other stars of Kaos is British actor Nabhaan Rizwan of Pakistani descent playing Dionysus. Honestly this is going to be such a forgettable flop, it’s not even worth wasting breath

One of my main issues I take with Iceland's Asatru organization, Ásatrúarfélagið, has to do with the leadership. Allsherjargoði Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, through many interviews in the past, has revealed himself to be blatantly an Atheist and a hardcore Secularist. This leads me to believe that his motivations for joining (and leading) the group are more political than spiritual, particularly with the aim of ushering in multicultural, multiracial fellowship. Seriously, you can even be a Christian and join! Or Atheist! I remember when years ago they got immense backlash for their decision to bless homosexual and transgender weddings. Hate-mail, rightfully so, was sent from Heathens around Iceland, Germany, and the United States. People were right to be upset seeing the open, unashamed perversion of their revival efforts by a man whose loyalty seems to lie with only money and a subversive agenda.

Why some Americans mess around with or dabble in the folk traditions of pre-American religion is due to two reasons, which I will explain briefly below. First off, they are dissatisfied with mainstream religious traditions, particularly Christianity. It has stripped them of their indigenous heritage and substituted it with alien notions and mores, to which they have rebelled and rejected. Secondly, because of their rootlessness, they wander, unable to locate the sources of their rightful self-identity, and look to animistic beliefs, but, once again, of a foreign people. They cannot or, at the very least, cannot yet fully come to terms with the fact they will never be allowed to become a Zuni medicine-man, to dance with the Nahuatl-speaking Mēxica in devotion to Huītzilōpōchtli, or to dwell as a respectable feathered shaman amongst the Lakhóta tribesfolk. So instead, they piece together whatever they can find suitable, and may have noble intentions, with ill execution, and practice an offensive form of eclectic, all-inclusive religion (if you can even call it that), and remain aimless. For those with demonstrably sincere interest, but are heavily misguided, I believe it is part of my duty to help them if they so desire it. But they need to approach a rightful identity with the proper outlook and appropriate mindset if they are to succeed spiritually and grow. Should we cast all of them off as insincere pretenders and frauds? No, of course not. Some really just need help, and I believe it is up to us to guide them straight and to rediscover what they personally have lost.

Happy mother’s day
