Asatru, A Native European Spirituality by Stephen A. McNallen. Book Review. Paganism and Christianity

beachboy4

I have had the pleasure of reading Stephen McNallen’s book Asatru. I actually first became aware McNallen’s work little over a year ago when he was a guest at the based podcast Red Ice Radio (highly recommended listening). There was also a certain controversy that arose when the book was released. The nature of this controversy was in regard to notion that Germanic Paganism is a native European spirituality. This was of course unacceptable to the disingenuous elements of “Paganism”. In regard to those fake (Cultural Marxist-influenced) Pagans I actually made a popular video named Degenerate Neckbeard Claiming Pagan. ROFLMAOSaid degenerate neckbeard was one who took it upon himself to reject the teachings of McNallen because it was “racist” as it was exclusive to others. McNallen claims (rightly) that Asatru is a native European spirituality, which of course then, per definition, becomes excluding to others. And as we all know the (((Official Narrative))) does not allow for European-only things. Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, Europe for everyone. This is not only true in terms of immigration but also in regard to culture.
This book however, and this is a great merit of it, is uncucked in this regard and states that this is a spirituality which is for people of European descent. That the author elaborates on biological realities makes it legit, especially when many supposed “Pagans” are highly inglorious individuals who are just mad at Christianity, and the extent of their entusiasm for Paganism boils down to its role as not being Christian.

Another great merit of the book is how the Gods are presented. For those who read this book after having adhered to my own teachings for some time will recognise it. Namely that the Nordic Gods demand bold action; not submissive worship (as might be the case with Christianity). If you want to appease Thor you must pray in the Temple of Iron, getting strong in his image. If you want to get wiser in the image of Odin, you need to read a lot (or procure wisdom where ever possible). The Gods do not give freely but set themselves up as good role models for which you can strive. Odin made many sacrifices to obtain optimal wisdom (most notably giving his eye to Mimer). Tyr, God of War, sacrificed one hand to capture the Fenris Wolf.
This is a more glorious view of the divine than simply worshipping a supreme being. To elaborate further in regard to my own quest and philosophy, I do not want anyone who adheres to my teachings to only admire me. I want those who adheres to my teachings to follow upon the same path of glory. If it just admiration without action, my sacrifices have been in vain. The Gods, primarily Odin and Thor set themselves up as role models so that I could strive to become like them via action, not via submissive worship. I have gained the blessings of both because I have worked hard for it and that is a just system indeed. Work hard = get rewarded. Get good or get rekt. You work for miracles, they do not just happen, you must make them happen.

The book will be on my Glorious Pill Reading List (and is thus a recommended book). However, there is a part where criticism can be levelled, and this is true for plenty of Pagans in America primarily, and this can be true even for uncucked Pagans. It is a quite bothersome aversion towards Christianity. As a Swedish man I have a different perspective on the matter. I realise that Christianity in America might have a bad reputation due to fanatics. However, it is important to realise that Christianity has been a part of Western civilisation for a very long time; and to treat it with hostility is not worthy. I am not even baptised so I do not have any actual connection to the church. However, I still appreciate the good things Christianity has brought to Europe and I would not treat it with any sort of contempt. To do thus is to treat a large part of European history with contempt.

To summarise I recommend this book to anyone who wish to gain a deeper insight into the pre-Christian spirituality of Northern Europe.

The Wild Hunt Challenge (2-Months to Increase Gloriousness).

The Wild Hunt Challenge is aimed at reinforcing positive behaviours in young men. Perhaps you are already following the steps given in this challenge; if so, keep it up! If not; show this to a friend who might benefit from it.

  1. The first step is to train at least five days a week, the exception is for those who realistically have too little time to train five days a week. However, the overwhelming majority can find the time to train this amount. Furthermore, remember that training can enhance your effectiveness in mental endeavours, thus you should never feel that training is impeding on your other work (I am primarily thinking about studies etc here). Training is at the core of becoming glorious. No Demigod is unfit, simple as that!
  2. The second step is to stop watching porn; or to be more precise: stop masturbating to porn. You can masturbate using your imagination should you wish. Alas it is of paramount importance to realise that porn is a weapon aimed at young men to turn them into compliant subjects and impulsive consumers. I want you to be aggressive and disciplined. Thus it is non-negotiable to cut out porn from the lives of my legionnaires.
  3. The third step is to read an article each day. The reason for this is twofold. First and foremost it will enhance your levels of wisdom and make you more formidable intellectually. Secondly it will get you into the routine of concentrating for a longer period of time. As it is right now social media conditions your mind to constantly crave new visual stimulation. This is a harmful habit that needs to be checked. Thus it is beneficial to spend the same amount of time as you would on mindless scrolling towards reading profound articles. I am of course not saying that scrolling through your social media is wrong (I scroll through my Instagram everyday), what I am saying is that you must also condition your mind to keep concentrated on something for a longer period of time.
  4. The fourth step is to find the most epic place in your vicinity and take a glorious picture there; preferably when you look your best. The reasons for this is first and foremost because it is fun, it becomes like a roleplaying game where you are out on a quest for some magical item. The magical item in this case it to take the most epic picture possible. You can either upload it to Instagram and tag your picture with #legiogloria. Or you can post it to my Facebook wall. If you do not have any social media, you can just enjoy the exploration aspect of it! It is important to get out in nature a bit more and appreciate Mother Earth!

Western Civilization Bites Back. Book Recommendation

Bowden1

I have just had the pleasure of reading this profound Tome of Wisdom. It is a collection of speeches by the legendary Jonathan Bowden. I am currently in the works of setting together a “The Glorious Pill Reading List” (which is what I think I will name the list), and this book will definitely be on that list.
The most noteworthy merits of the book is Bowden’s total rejection of the Cultural Marxist narrative; especially in regard to equality. Equality for Bowden is as unnatural and untruthful as it gets and the way he elaborates on it is sure to awaken plenty of people schooled in leftist thought.
The other aspect that is of great importance, and this is true for quite a lot of new Rightists, is to understand the importance of culture and its role for the strength of the nation, tribe, or people.
If you are interested in cultural side of the metaphysical war this is a must read book!
