“Much of the European revolutionary tradition traces itself back to the 18th century, including the first stirrings of anarchist philosophy as we now know it. Much of the neopagan and occult tradition as we now know it traces back to the same era, and not at all coincidentally as author Erica Lagalisse demonstrates…” A review of Occult Features of Anarchism: With Attention to the Conspiracy of Kings and the Conspiracy of the Peoples.

“The true genesis of this line of thinking came from the cross section of my own initiation frustrations and being a part of the growing “weird Left” movement characterized in writers like Doctor Bones, blogs like Gods and Radicals, and podcasts like Black Banner Magic. There’s a growing occult movement in leftist circles that is giving Marxist/Leninists a god damn aneurysm but it’s taking on a decidedly folk magic tilt.”

I dedicate this rendition to all those who live that timeless revolutionary adage, that makes one fearless and shatters despair and ennui. Ennui, that ugly beast Baudelaire thought the true Devil:
Love in the face of danger.

Trump recently said, “I am a nationalist against the globalists.” What did he mean by that? How was this related to the white nationalist movements throughout the world? And is “patriotism” really any better than nationalism? And what about independence and sovereignty movements around the world that try to create their own nations…are they potentially fascist or something else altogether?
In Episode 7, Alley Valkyrie and Rhyd Wildermuth discuss the problems of nationalism and explore the important differences between indigenous and colonized people’s struggles for national independence and the far right and white nationalist struggles, with special attention given to the role of global capitalism in the destruction of cultural differences.

I also know what it’s like to struggle to live day to day, and so I’m a believer in making the most of what you have. Exotic plants and ingredients are certainly alluring, but what’s the point of learning to use them if you can’t get hold of them, for whatever reason? It just makes sense to use what you already have or is readily available.

“Being placed within Paganism for quite a few decades now, the genre of “Native Spirituality” has been a convenience entirely directed by white people.”
