European Symbols – Legio Gloria Releases May 2020
Posted on May 8, 2020
It is with great pleasure that I announce the new Legio Gloria releases. These have been a long time in the making and I am very happy with the final result.
Organic Cotton
I have always aimed to make Legio Gloria clothing the best it can possibly be. The cut and fit, the material, the message, the aesthetics, the feel. Everything has to be on point.
Upgrading some of the new garments to have organic cotton was a natural step in this direction. They are very comfortable and nice to the touch.
Aux Armes
This is a true Legio Gloria classic in a new design. The motive and message of the garment is meant to serve as a reminder to yourself to get a sense of urgency.
Aux Armes translates from French as ‘to arms’.
The jousting knights serves as a reminder to act chivalrously (an act of rebellion in the degeneracy modern world). It is also a homage to Medieval Europe.
Your Ancestors Are Watching
This is a great reminder when looking to set the pace high (no matter your endeavour). If you know your Ancestors (or someone else you seek to make proud) are watching you; you will strive higher. This mental technique is something that will serve you well both inside and outside of the Temple of Iron – it applies no matter what you do.
The new edition is made with organic cotton.
Ride the White Tiger
Do not succumb to the decadence of the world around you, but steer the tiger onward to glory. The Modern World offers plenty of detrimental temptations, should you fall off the tiger you will get trampled underfoot and eaten. However, if you manage to stay on its back it can take you to ever new heights. Riding the Tiger in a life affirming manner means enjoying the ride and making the most of where the tiger can take you.
The new edition is made with organic cotton.
Ymir’s Strength Garment
Ymir – the primordial giant of Nordic mythology demands offerings in the form of strongman and powerlifting training. This is a loose fitting training garment but is comfortable to wear in all relaxed situations.
Arguably the world’s most comfortable gym shirt is now available in size small. Size small in this garment is meant to be an actual medium/large. I wear mine in large (after having it washed in a high temperature).
So if you have awaited this garment in a regular size, this is a good day!
Imperivm Evropa
The use of V instead of U is a nod to the Roman way of spelling. The statue depicted is based upon the works of the German sculptor Arno Breker and the words surrounding the statue; veritas (truth), honor (honour), ivstitia (justice) signifies values that should be upheld. The statue is a homage to Classical Europe, and this garment is designed to promote European (including America and Australia and the other former colonies) unity and pride in this legacy. Classical aesthetics such as this can be found all over Europe and is thus a good symbol to promote a much needed cultural re-awakening. When wearing this garment you should strive to become the statue; the physical representation of eternal metaphysical ideals.
Note: This is an updated version of a previous garment. The difference between the versions is that the new one has the word ‘honor’ instead of ‘honorem’, thus being more grammatically correct.

Glorfindel Quote

‘Glorfindel was tall and straight,
his hair was of shining gold,
his face fair, young, fearless and full of joy;
his eyes were bright and keen, and his voice like music;
on his brow sat wisdom, and in his hand was strength.’

Legio Gloria Releases March 2020. Also a Note on Quarantine Training
Posted on March 27, 2020
A few months ago, or even a few weeks ago, I had no idea that the Covid-19 crisis would reach this level of intensity. It seems like nothing else is on the mind of people, which is understandable. That being said life goes on and the quest for glory and enlightenment must also go on. Even though many gyms and martial arts clubs have closed for the foreseeable future this cannot stop our training. If you have access to a place to run you can do so. Cardio does not kill gains and is great for your heart and mind. If you really do not like LISS (low intensity steady state cardio), i.e. running, you can do HIIT (high intensity interval training) instead, i.e. sprints. If you have a home gym or at least some weights at home you are even better off. Moreover, you can also do shadow boxing (a great exercise to reinforce your movement patterns). If you have the luxury of having a heavy bag at home you can do the following work-out I posted to YouTube: Isolation Heavybag Session.
Either way, make sure to not stop training. And also make sure to read a lot if you are stuck inside. Make the most out of the situation.
On another note, we have two new additions to the Legio Gloria clothing line. First and foremost Handsome Shorts in a new colour, namely forest green. The Handsome Shorts have been with us since 2017. Usually clothing companies like to update their entire collection season to season, but I see no reason to change a winning concept just for the sake of it. I like the Handsome Shorts and everyone else also likes the Handsome Shorts, so I have kept the formula. In this case, just adding a new colour and restocking the other colours. Squatting in a pair of Handsome Shorts is mandatory for all high-thumos men, just as reading Dauntless is mandatory.
The second release is the Piratical Brotherhood Sleeveless Hoodie. It is basically the same in its style to the Saturnus’ Meditation Garment (navy) and Galadriel’s Blessing (green) except that the zipper is smaller, I deemed it to be unnecessarily big (which got in the way in some exercises).
The purpose of a sleeveless hoodie is twofold. First and foremost it looks aesthetic, you want to evoke the feeling of a zealous disciple of the iron, a cultist of enlightenment. I have said it many times before and I say it again. When you train in the gym you have an opportunity to envision yourself as something higher, even if you are just starting out. Making it into something epic increases the chances of success (and it is more fun than doing it as a mundane chore).
Secondly, in terms of practicality, a sleeveless hoodie is useful when training in the gym. They keep the warmth of the torso yet let the armpits breathe. Moreover, they provide a sturdier base than a stringer or tanktop when it comes to certain exercises in the gym – such as benchpress or dumbbellpress. You can of course also admire your arm musculature in one!
On a last note, in regard to Jotunheim Nutrition for my Swedish supporters. Magnesium has been restocked. The container has a new design and now contains 114 caps instead of 90 (as was the case with the previous container). The price is the same though, so more product for the same price for my loyal customers.
You can order the new garments here: https://legiogloria.com/
If you are stuck inside wanting something to read you can also check out Free Speech Library: https://freespeechlibrary.com/
I recommend Piero San Giorgio’s new book CBRN (I will make a book review video on it later on). You can also get Dauntless at this webshop.
If you are in Sweden you can stock up on magnesium, and of course the best whey, here: https://jotunheimnutrition.com/
