Awake Goy By Ron McVan
Bury me not when I am dead…. Lay me not down in a dusty bed: I could not bear the life down there, With the wet worms crawling about my hair!” ~ Eric Mackay
In the universe nothing happens by chance. Throughout the vast cosmos there is no such word as chance. There is only one just and accurate relationship between all things… that relationship we know as “cause and effect.” The great “law of pepromenon” of the ancient Greeks, or law of karma of the early Indo-Europeans, is the concept of unavoidable fate to which all beings are subject.
Man cannot change his past, as it is engraved forever in his record of life as a memory. His present is a reflection and result of the effects of past thoughts and actions, perhaps modified by his free will and other influences during the present (now). Man’s future course of life, although determined in a generalized way because of the effects of the past and present thoughts words and actions (karma), appears to be affected by his free will determination of where, why and how he chooses to conduct his life. Thus, whatever has gone before is fixed and recorded forever, but the future, even though it is pre-destined to move in a particular direction, may be alterable in a variety of ways, according to free-will and thoughts of the actor-observer involved.
Thence come the maids, Who much do know; Three from the hall, Beneath the tree; One was named Was, And being next, The third Shall Be.” ~ The Volupsa
To the ancient pagans the night was known to produce many cruel spirits: Deceit, Old Age and Strife. These in turn begot other scourges: Forgetfulness, Famine, Sorrows, Battles, Murders, Quarrels, Lying Words, Lawlessness, Ruin and Oath Breaking, which could be the worst of evil spirits for him who committed perjury and thus invited his fearful curse down upon himself. It was perceived in ancient times that Midgard (Earth) was a realm for receiving humankind, and held hundreds of causes of suffering in readiness for them. From this understanding of fate we can determine that experience is based solely on actions, words and thoughts (all are mental concepts) of an individual as governed by the Law of Karma. Destiny tomorrow will rule… man’s will is today’s tool.
Each man for the most part is wholly responsible for his own life and its attendant conditions, as well as bearing the responsibility for the living conditions and welfare of his family and race. The word ‘fate’ is derived from the Latin ‘fatum’ meaning, prophecy, a spoken decree presumed to come from the Gods. The Greeks called the Goddess of Fate Nemesis, the divine anger, daughter of the night, the instrument through which the gods punished those who violated the laws of the Gods. The executors of the decrees of Nemesis were the Erinyes, known to the Romans as the Furiae. These Furies hounded out and punished parricides and those who violated their sworn word. Out of these various goddesses of fate developed the trinity of Goddesses of Fate known as Tisiphone, Alectro and Megaera. Their faces were blackened, with living snakes for hair; they hunted the evil-doers with flaming torches and scourges in their claw-like hands, tormenting the guilty.
The mistresses of fate in Wotanism were similar to their southern European cousins. They, too, were female goddesses, a triumvirate of fate known as the Nornir or Norns. It is believed that their origins go back to the giant races of Jotunheim (Land of Giants). They sat at the foot of the Tree of Life and watered its roots from the Well of Urdar.
The Anglo-Saxon tribes maintained their belief in the tremendous power of the oldest of the three sisters, Urdar, long after they had been converted to Christianity. Urdr (or Urdar) in English has the form “Wyrd”, which means fate, the compelling power and final destiny which no man and no thing may escape. Not even The Allfather Wotan can escape his Wyrd at Ragnarok (the return of the great comets and destruction of the world). From this perspective, not unlike Mimir, the pre-Wotanic Nornir as well, have a power over Wotan. Our ancestors bore witness to the displacement of the Allfather’s omnipotent power of day to the evening rise of the moon and its three different aspects. Symbolic of the Norns, these three phases are: the crescent moon (Urdar), full moon (Verdandi) and the waning moon (Skuld). As the sole dealers of fate, the Norns are possessors of immense power, they have long been depicted as the preservers of the fabric of all creation.
The three Nordic Goddesses of Fate are wise women who serve as judges of right and wrong, and dispensers of good or ill fortune. Weavers of destiny, arbiters of life and death, they were named: Urd, (the past), who was very old—Verdandi, (the present) — and Skuld, (the future). The Valkyries serve as instruments of their decrees.
All that is in the invisible archetypal sphere is revealed in the sensible corporeal world by the light of Nature, Astrology, Numerology and Divination which are means whereby we may peer into the past and the future. Today is tomorrow’s yesterday, but only the Norn’s know what tomorrow brings.
As our body is a part of the universe, our soul is a part of the soul of the universe.” ~ Plato
Modern man knows almost nothing of the significance of the arcane mysteries and the ancient rites. The scientists and the theologians alike gaze in awe and wonder upon the great initiates such as Apollo, Hermes, Pythagoras and Apollonius. If they would only think for a moment, they would realize what motivates such god-like men on earth. There is only one urge in the soul of man capable of supplying the required incentive— namely, the desire to know, to understand and to exchange the narrowness of human mortality for the higher breadth and scope of enlightenment.
Does it not seem strange that there are fewer “great ones” in this seemingly advanced modern age than there were in the past? Those with a sound knowledge of ancient history would have a difficult time accepting the idea that man is evolving, when all existing evidence demonstrates otherwise.
Time’s arrow still points from the past into the future along a one-way street. The question is, are we moving from chaos towards order, or from order towards chaos? In the familiar nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty”, the egg-man fell off a wall and broke; all the kings horses and all the Kings men could not put Humpty together again. This follows the physicists’ second law of thermodynamics, that being, disorder or entropy, as it was called, will always increase through time. In the long run, all eggs are broken, including the earth itself.
It is said that you should never leave anything to chance. But in operating like that, chance never leaves anything to you.” ~ Stuart Wilde
Since you create much of your own reality through thought, it is wise to be constantly vigilant of how you think. Look at how your outer reality is manifesting through circumstance and the people that you have drawn into your life. Stay clear of people whose motive is to control and manipulate your life, or who attempt to pull you to lower consciousness levels. Avoid psychic vampires, which are those who would extensively drain valuable time and energy into their obvious emptiness. Extract yourself from the herd instincts of the unconscious masses, which in their non-productive scrambling, scatters the faculties of the mind and robs man of his most precious gift—the power of thought. The man of little or no ambition accomplishes nothing worthwhile in life. The man of too much ambition builds castles that he does not need nor truly want. One extreme can be as bad as the other. Learn from your experiences, your mistakes and from others who show themselves to be wise through thought and deeds…..and follow your inner instincts.
Nothing in life is static, all moves, changes, has within it some urge to make something new, different, more complete. This rebel urge in the heart of the ordered working of the law of life is what flowers in man as intelligence, the director of will. It is the belief that anything is inexorable, solid, forever fixed in ascertain pattern that is illusion; that which flows into ever new channels is the real.” ~ Basil Ivan Rakoczi
Man knows, with that ounce of divinity buried deep within himself, that he holds the potential for positive change and that if enough people act on this potential collectively, Man can and will put order into this world. In the past this has happened before numerous times and our gods knew full well of our intelligence potential and creative capabilities. The ultimate task and test now at hand is, can we sustain it? Are we strong enough, wise enough, spiritual enough, to not repeat the mistakes of the past? As Pythagoras stated so many centuries ago:
All men know what they want, but few know what they need.”
