Apollo, Heimdall, Black Death Hoodie, Phoenix Neckwarmer. Legio Gloria Releases
Posted on December 12, 2019
Although this article is published a bit later than the release of the garments I would still like to present them and elaborate a bit on each new item. As I have mentioned before I have a low time preference in regard to the release of clothes. What this means in practice is that it does not matter if a certain garment takes a bit longer to develop as long as the end result is better. In regard to the new Apollo and Heimdall garments it was mostly a matter of wearing the prototype over a long period of time (which I did over late Summer and early Autumn), to see how the cut and the material felt. As I mentioned in an Instagram post a while back I was happy with it from an early stage and it continued to be satisfactory.
Whereas the standard polyester rashguards are primarily for MMA, grappling or gym training, I wanted this cotton rashguard to work both in the gym and outside the gym; as a casual garment, as a training garment, as an outdoor garment. Basically for everything.
The goal with all Legio Gloria clothes is that it should not only be a well-designed and high quality item, it should also invoke a certain feel. For me personally this garment reminds me of a few different things.
I remember a sequence in The Ultimate Fighter that I watched about eight years ago and one of the coaches had a bodybuilder on his coaching staff. He said he had him in his retinue to teach his fighters about the importance of nutrition (which is a good point by the way). The bodybuilder looked jacked and always wore a rashguard of some sort. I thought it looked good.
Another inspiration for the garment is from the Horus Heresy books where the Adeptus Astartes (genetically enhanced soldiers) wear bodygloves under their armour. When reading about this I got an epic image in my head. I often talk about using these sort of mental images as training motivation. Speaking of which, here is a training motivation video made by a supporter featuring yours truly and Warhammer: Dark Millenium. I recently held a poll on Telegram (follow me here: https://t.me/thegoldenone), and the results was that I should talk more about the lore of it (or at least give introductions so people can understand references and certain memes etc.). Long story short; the linked clip contains both Warhammer 40k (Horus Heresy) and Warhammer Fantasy, in addition to a pro-European message.
In regard to the names of the garments they representing two European gods. Heimdall is a Norse god, and the etymology of the name is, according to one theory, “the one who illuminates the world“. This is what we strive to do – illuminate the world. Apollo is the god of light and order, and if often put in contrast to Dionysus, the god of debauchery.
In regard to the cloth itself I wanted it to be as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as possible. The label in the back is printed directly on to the garment. And it is supposed to feel like a second skin.
The popular neckwarmers are back in good time for Winter. The previous ones had a Celtic Cross as the symbol in front and those sold out in a few days. So it was of course tempting to release the same design again. However, as I have mentioned before we are now in a unique position to create something new; a new culture of European revival. And I do believe the Phoenix symbolises this better than a cross. The Phoenix is triumphantly rising from the ashes of what once was.
The Black Death Regeneration Hoodie is named with a similar idea in mind. The Black Death was a catastrophic event in European history, however, just like a forest fire it provided a fecund environment for new growth. This is how we must view Europe’s current predicament. Do not lament the decline – rejoice in the possibility of creating something new.
In regard to the garment itself, it is a clean and straight-forward design, with black and silver as colours. The cut of the garment is similar as the Perseus’ Hoodie with the exception of the hood, in this model the hood covers the lower part of the face (instead of stopping below the face).
Lastly, in regard to Christmas. It is always hard to estimate how long it takes for a package to arrive to a certain destination, but to be on the safe side I would say it is too late to order for Christmas unless you are in Sweden.

A Note About Nick Fuentes and Bronze Age Pervert
Posted on December 4, 2019
I was asked about my thoughts in regard to a recent disagreement between two popular individuals, Nick Fuentes, host of America First, and the esteemed Bronze Age Pervert, author of the best-selling book Bronze Age Mindset. The disagreement is basically about whether to attend a conference or not. As I have experience in both attending conferences as a speaker and in organising non-public events I can give some insights.
Before giving an answer to the question at hand I would like to emphasise the importance BAP’s work. His podcast, Caribbean Rhythms is genuinely one of my highlights of the week. I always listen to it as soon as it comes out, either in between sets in the gym or during a nature walk. That being said it is not my own opinion of his work that matters, but rather how many people he has reached with his book and writings (which is many), and what kind of people he has reached (powerful people).
Some kind words about Nicholas are also in order. His passion and courage must be admired. Taking on the entire Conservative Inc. is not an easy task, and the fact that he stands up for what he believes is right is not something you see all too often in this age of deceit. That being said there are plenty of things we disagree on (his stance on Paganism for one).
Bronze Age Pervert knows what he is talking about and it is preposterous that he should get criticised by random Twitter posters who have never or will never have the sort of influence he has. You can, of course, respectfully disagree with him. Also, anyone who accuses him of being homoerotic is unenlightened and would do everyone a favour by simply staying silent (or at least wait a few years until you see reason). This is a war of aesthetics, the ones who look the best win, simple as that. This is why I only want to be associated with people who post physique. Moreover, calling physique posting homoerotic is a left-wing position, i.e. a position born out of ressentiment and a sense of physical inferiority. An honourable man who sees a heroic physique is inspired, an unenlightened man will find excuses and copes.
That all being said, onto the question:
You must ask yourself: Why do I want to attend this conference or event?
Do you want to attend the conference just to feel like you have done something? Then it is the wrong motivation. The same thing can be said about demonstrations, they are completely useless. Attending a demonstration might give the sensation of doing something but it is only counter-productive. That being said, I understand and respect the urge to ‘do something’. On this note it must also be pointed out that something does not become more ‘real’ or useful just because it is done in the physical realm (i.e. outside of the Internet). Reaching 100 000 viewers with a video on YouTube (or with a post on Twitter or Instagram) is tremendously more powerful than reaching 100 people in the street.
The harsh truth is that the most useful thing to do is often to contribute financially to metapolitical and/or political endeavours. This is not something that people like to talk about. It is perhaps more inspiring to talk about heroism and glory but the fact of the matter is that you can do very little without money, and being a regular contributor of money enables endeavours to take things to the next level.
Again, this is not something that is fun to point out, but if someone asks the question on what to do, how to help, I will give an honest answer. Another way to help is to post physique, especially in response to journalists and various other people who want to portray right-wingers as un-aesthetic. You can do this anonymously as well.
Are attending events considered ‘doing something’? Creating networks and taking over societal structures is highly important and a key to victory. And conferences can serve a good role here; it provides a meeting place for honourable men.
Do you already have a solid network of like-minded men? Good. Are you already inside a power-structure with an upward mobility? Good, don’t jeopardise that position by potentially doxxing yourself.
Are you in search of gallant shield-brothers whom you can create a Männerbund with? You might just meet those men at some sort of conference. Then it is a good idea.
When I have hosted events it has been with the ambition of facilitating networking for men with the heart on the right place. Although no extreme measures have been taken in regard to op-sec (the stakes are not as high when it is only training) there has at least been a policy of no photographs or videos. The reason for this is that there must be a possibility to attend events without risking unnecessary doxxing etc. Can the organisers guarantee this? Good.
Long story short: should you attend events like this? It depends.
Are you there to find like-minded good men to network with and build strong friendships for the future? Then yes.
Are you there just because you feel like you have to do something? Then no. Then it is better to support accounts financially and/or post anonymously on social media.
Lastly, whatever you do, don’t do something stupid. Also, be sure to become as aesthetically pleasing as possible, as socially skilled as possible, and as persuasive as possible. Read, train, network and become a force of nature.

“Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.”

Epic Quote on Strength and Beauty from Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Posted on October 12, 2019
“Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything impossibly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Take away the tied tendons that all over seem bursting from the marble in the carved Hercules, and its charms would be gone. As devout Eckerman lifted the linen sheets from the naked corpse of Goethe, he was overwhelmed with the massive chest of the man, that seemed as a Roman triumphal arch. When Angelo paints even God the Father in human form, mark what robustness is there.”
Moby Dick – Herman Melville
