The Gods of the New Age-Revised Article

After the great but necessary calamity of Ragnarok there will arise a renewed earth and a new sun and moon. Aryan humanity is destined to survive in the form of the couple Lif[ON `life`] and Lifrasir[ON `the one striving after life] but so are some of the Gods, namely Baldr, Hodr, Hoenir, Magni, Modi, Vidar, Vali and Njord. There is no mention in the Voluspa or the Gylfaginning of any Godesses surviving. Now whether this is intentional or just an oversight I do not know. Of the eight Gods referred to seven are of the Aesir and one of the Vanir-Njord who is said to return to his home of Noatun after Ragnarok. [Vafthrudnismal 39]. Seven is the number that governs occult mysteries. It is a sacred number and signifies the victory of spirit over matter, perfection.

"The Aesir meet on Ida`s plain,
and of the mighty earth-encircler speak,
and there to memory call their mighty deeds,
and the supreme god`s ancient lore"
[Voluspa 58]

Woden will live on in the bodies of his sons Vidar and Vali. Woden`s son Thunor will live on in the bodies of his sons Magni and Modi. These two pairs of brothers are third generation Gods.
Magni[ON `the strong one`] is the personification of Thunor`s strength and at the age of just 3 years He rescued Thunor from under the leg of the giant Hrungnir. His mother was the giant Jarnsaxa.
Modi[ON `the angry one`]is the personification of Thunor`s anger. Less is known of Him than His brother Magni.
Magni and Modi will inherit Thunor`s hammer Mjollnir:

"Vidar and Vali will the gods` holy fanes inhabit,
when Surt`s fire shall be quenched.
Modi and Magni will Miollnir possess,
and warfare strive to end."
[Vafthrudnirsmal 51]

Vidarr[ON `the wide ruling one`] is known as `the slient God` and with his strong shoe he avenges his father Woden on Fenrir the wolf at Ragnarok. His mother is the giantess Grid who lent Thunor her belt of strength, her iron glove and staff to fight the giant Geirrod.
Vali[ON `little warrior`]avenges the death of His brother Baldr at one day old by killing the blind God Hodr. He was bred specifically for this purpose and His mother Rindr is one of the Asyniur[Godesses].
Hoenir along with Woden and Lodur participated in the creation of Germanic mankind. After the war with the Vanir He was given as a hostage along with Mimir by the Aesir.
Apart from Him the other six Gods are pairs of brothers.
He is the only first generation God to survive Ragnarok and it appears that He will partake of priestly office and divine from the Runes:

"The can Hoenir choose his lot,...."
[Voluspa 61]

Hodr[ON `warrior, fighter`], the blind God and the unwitting slayer of His brother Baldr.
Baldr, the second son of Woden and Frigg, the husband of Nanna and the most beloved God of light. Baldr and Hodr represent light and darkness and with their resurrection after Ragnarok they symbolise a return to balance and harmony. These are the only two Gods who are second generation who were killed well before the events of Ragnarok.
Njord is the father of the twins Freyr and Freyja and the husband of the giantess Skadi. His home is Noatun by the sea. He is connected in some way with the more ancient deity Nerthus, a Goddess. He is a God of the wind and sea.
In addition to these eight Gods the Runes[and their knowledge] along with Mjolnir will survive Ragnarok.

When we break down the Gods into the three functions[Dumezil]: sovereignity, warfare and production it is clear that Hoenir occupying the priestly office is a God of the first function. Vidar and Vali being Gods of vengeance and thus warriors and along with Hodr[`warrior, fighter`]occupy the office of the second function.
Magni and Modi possess the hammer which can be used for both waging war and also for blessing married couples and bringing fertility of crops, animals and humans and thus may consider to be occupying the third function.
Baldr, the most loved of the Gods, being a shining God of light I consider along with Hoenir to also occupy the office of the first function but as sovereign and not unlike Hoenir as a priest. The first function originally combined the roles of priest and sovereign which eventually developed into seperate functions amongst certain Indo-European peoples.
Njord as a Van is of course a God of fertility and thus of the third function.
So although the Germanic pantheon is much diminished it is in essence complete and the individual Gods may in the process of time father children either with unnamed Goddesses that may survive Ragnarok or with Aryan humanity who are to be viewed as their `children`.

Yule, Christmas, Capitalism and the BNP

On the evening of the winter solstice day I and the kindred which I lead commemorated Modraniht, the beginning of the Yule season. Yule is not confined to simply one or several days but actually is a season which spans December and January. The prechristian Germanic peoples only recognised a ten month year. The month of Aerra Jiuli[`Before Yule`] covered December and this was originally the tenth month which is obvious from its Latin name and Aeftera Jiuli[`After Yule`] which covered January.
Naturally the masses of today, heavily influenced by the alien religion of Christianity and market forces focus all their material efforts on just one day, the 25th December without giving any thought at all as to why they do what they do, programmed like robots to keep those cash tills turning over, a veritable shopkeeper`s and capitalist paradise.
Like the imporant Germanic prechristian feast of Easter the christians hijacked Yule and even today many of them refuse to acknowledge the prechristian origins of the season or are blissfully ignorant of it. Even Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National Party, a man who you would think would be aware of the prechristian origins of Yule shamelessly promotes Christmas and defends it as part of British `tradition` without acknowledging that Christianity is an alien eastern religion which invaded Europe and sought to annihilate genuine Aryan spiritual traditions. A defence of Yule I can understand, but Christmas? Why? It is obviously a cynical ploy by Mr Griffin to harness what he considers to be christian and thus anti-muslim forces to his crusade. In doing so he recklessly ignores that it is not Islam which has brought the indigenous British peoples to this present crisis but Christianity and the hidden hand of Zionism. Islam is merely a symptom of the disease; it is not the cause. A wise physician always seeks to cure an illness by identifying and treating the cause not the symptoms which are but a side effect of the problem.
Needless to say many will wake up in a few days from their debauchery and hang overs and rue the amount of money they have wasted and will have to pay back on their credit cards, getting themselves even further into needless debt but will start the whole capitalist process off again in nine months time! The false and nauseous seasonal pity, cheer and kindness will like stardust disappear again in the twinkling eye to be repeated again in twelve months time.
What follows is an articled from this blog originally published on 21st December 2008:

Modraniht is Old English for `Mothers-night`, an ancient Anglo-Saxon feast referred to by the Venerable Bede in De temporum ratione 13. He wrote that the still heathen Anglo-Saxons hold a sacrifice in the New Year in the modraniht id est matrum nocturum["the Modraniht, that is, in the night of the mothers[=matrons?]"]
This feast corresponds to other Germanic Yule-tide festivals. It was once speculated that this may have been a Celtic festival but this is largely refuted these days.
Modraniht may be associated with the cult of the mothers or the matrons largely found amongst the West Germanic tribes and the disablot celebrated by the North Germanic tribes in Scandinavia.
The Matrons or matronae are Mother-goddesses to whom votive stones and altars were set up between the 1st and 5th centuries CE. There are approximately 1100 inscriptions and half give Germanic matron names. The matron cult was also to found amongst the Celtic tribes.
Almost exclusively these matrons were presented in groups of three. These females were worshipped as matrons or Mother-goddesses.
Their functions involved fertility, childbirth, the protection of the family and occasionally to act as war-goddesses. These correspond to the disir in the North Germanic areas.
The dirir were female fertility deities. The word stems from the Old Swedish dis.
This is possibly related to the Old Saxon Idisi mentioned in the First Merseburg Charm.
The disablot is recorded twice in two Icelandic sagas from the middle of the 13th century CE.
In Viga-Glums saga 6 the disablot is celebrated at a Norwegian farm at the beginning of winter in mid-October. Egilssaga 44 also mentions a disablot at an autumnal festival in Norway.
Snorri Sturluson writing in the Ynglinga saga 33 identifies a similar feast at Uppsala in Sweden.
Literary sources indicate that the cult of the disir was more common in Sweden than in West Nordic regions.

First Merseburg Charm

Once the Idisi set forth, to this place and that;
Some fastened fetters; some hindered the horde,
Some loosed the bonds from the brave
Leap forth from the fetters! Escape from the foes!
