Nature of Wotanism – The Root of Thought and Being
The place of myth is at the very root of thought and being. All races, without exception, establish an ethnic mythology upon which strength, action, culture and identity are built. Myth builds the spiritual pre-history of a society that speaks to us from a very ancient past. Mythology is one of the key elements of folk consciousness. Like the sun’s light or the air we breathe, myth reveals itself only indirectly, and each individual must make a personal effort to discover its presence at the basis of his own thinking. It suffuses our consciousness and, what is more, our subconsciousness; in short, it is a timeless truth, a truth which is sacrilegious, sometimes fatal, to question. And this applies to every sphere of personal life, for there is none exempt from the folk mythos, particularly at moments of decisive choice. The heroes one most admires give forth myths spontaneously. For we know that without Achilles and without the Iliad, Alexander would not have undertaken the conquest of the East. And without the example of Alexander, many other great men of history would have fallen short of their untapped higher potential.
With the aid of myth we resolve a thousand and one everyday problems and attain moral equilibrium. In turn there is no such thing as a forgotten mythology within a distinct race of people. It is possible to neglect practices and traditions, but there always remains the deep genetic memory, and these ancient imprints can always be recovered. Much like man, the earth, also, remembers everything and is witness to history in a way we cannot fully appreciate. Mythology serves as a valuable time capsule—not full of things, but compact of gnostic wisdom, which in the guise of stories, keeps intact our heritage of all that has lasting value.
Through the long line of ancient Aryan pagan societies, nature has always played a vital role. To understand the timeless principles of Nature’s Law is to sharpen the vision of mind and being. We can not set limits on the versatility of nature; the limitations are in us. On every level our being is an intrinsic part of the agencies that vitalize the universe.
