Nature of Wotanism – The Root of Thought and Being

By Ron McVan

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.

Aryans today in the western world have grown awesomely distant from nature. In the earliest times the deep affiliation with the natural world created an ecology of metaphor; all things were seen to be related. The natural world and its shifting patterns of change were no more than an extension of the processes that created humans themselves. It was a time when our pagan forebears walked, ran, grew, loved and died as part of the whole symphony of life. All things were alive. There was no division of sacred and profane. All life was spiritual. Our indigenous mythologies with their archetypical gods united man with nature and the universal laws to which we are eternally subject. Nature mirrored the people and the people mirrored nature, and the two participated in an existence where there was no sharp separation between them. Natural, untrained intelligence spontaneously moves towards the truth in all men who use their reason. Nature, wise in all her ways, bestows upon her creations the knowledge necessary for their survival. Aryan man, in his long process of becoming, is largely aborting the self preserving instincts and impulses, and thus has diminished his psychic bond with universal life and his racial roots. As he drifts further from this foundation, he will continue to blunder along, moving from one conceit to another, gravitating toward alien religions, miscegenation and materialistic pursuits which hasten his extinction. If gone unchecked, nature will ultimately correct this deviation from genetic instinct in its own way. In this eleventh hour, which is already upon us, Aryan man must face the stark realization that only by adhering to nature’s “might is right” principles will his race survive.

The imperative of the Aryan race, culture and destiny must again, as in ancient times, set its foundation in concordance with nature’s law. Our race consciousness should learn to know truth from error and deliberately free itself from the lures of matter in order to assume its rightful place in nature’s perfection. Likewise, this arcane wisdom should always then manifest within the structure of our ethnic mythologies and religions. One of the most significant pagan traditions now prevalent in Europe and the U.S. is based upon the revival of the pre-Christian, Aryan religion of “Wotanism.” Central to Wotanism are the Euro-ethnic sky-god pantheon known as the Aesir, and the more earth-based, agricultural and fertility-centric Vanir. Chief of all the Aryan high deities is the archetype sky-god Wotan, the immortal root and essence of Aryan being. These companionable gods and heroes, garbed in many guises, individually represent the personification of the majestic forces of nature and the eternal mysteries which have inspired and guided Aryankind over the ages.

Through Wotanism the profound significance and purpose of the Aryan mythos and the mysteries of universal law are given. Our ancient gods are eternal and live within us always, demanding only our awareness. It is an important task of every Wotanist to arrive at a pure knowledge of the higher self, ensuring the balance of nature’s wisdom and man’s being. The ancestral legacies of our forebears that trail behind us are largely dependent on us and suffer unduly from our mistakes, while those who precede us on the ladder of existence, though not bound by our foolishness, are nevertheless deprived of our cooperation when we are not true to our kind and act with less than the best of our genetic potential. The family and folk are two major pillars of Wotanist concern. By tradition our people were always strongly devoted to their clan, and today, our folk clan is as important to us as ever. Through this aim we hold sacred above all else, these 14 Words: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.”

The study and practice of Wotanism is a life-long journey, a transmigration of courage, high wisdom, honor and determination, steeped in the unbroken pagan traditions of our ancestors. As we honor the gods of our folk, we form the nucleus around which a vital reexpression of our ancient wisdom and racial cohesiveness can be realized.
