TMF – The Wound That Let The ‘Dark Angel’ In: What Weimar Really Lost

There is a question underneath all the history that nobody quite asks directly. Not who funded the chaos. Not which lodges were operating in Berlin. Not even which political movements rose from the rubble. Those are the visible branches of something deeper. The question that matters is this: what was the inner condition of a people when everything collapsed at once? Because the dark angel doesn’t force its way in. It finds a door already...

Twilight’s Threshold: Dreams as Portals from Ancient to Modern Worlds

In the wordless hush just before sleep claims us, when lamplight softens and consciousness loosens its grip, we become wanderers in a realm as old as myth. Our bed may be modern—a tangle of sheets beneath a digital clock’s emerald glow—but the journey we take echoes footsteps pressed into the dust of ancient temples and frost-bound forests. Is the drifting shadow at the edge of vision merely the dregs of a tiring mind, or is...

Walpurgisnacht

In the last days of paganism in Germany, the druids’ sacrifices were subject to punishment by death at the hands of the literalist Christians. Nevertheless, at the beginning of springtime the “druids” and the populace sought to regain the peaks of the mountains so that they could make their sacrifices or experience their celebrations at these remote locations, intimidating and chasing off the Christians (usually through the latter’s fear of the devil). The legend of the first Walpurgis Night is […]...

Walpurgisnacht the day after

Bible quote from Book Exodus 22:18  “Don’t allow a female sorcerer to live.” Most legends and history intertwine and are inclusive of many items woven into a subject.

But one can not deny as a matter of historical fact that folks who believed in idealism as a philosophy of life have always tended to trust in spirits, gods and angels. When it comes to the great-weaving cosmic thoughts, the active principles behind the appearances of things, many...

What poets used to know – the sacred art

Poetry, in our time, is not only a misunderstood art, but one that has been subject to a systematic program of denaturing and falsification, at the hands of those Andrew Harvey has characterized as “official tastemakers who have outlawed the sublime, and… a contemporary poetry world addicted to cheap irony, unearned despair, bizarre pastiche, narcissistic confessionalism, and blindingly boring baroque word games” In earlier ages, among many peoples, poets were the repositories of the total knowledge of their nation or […]...

What you didn’t know about Saga

In the Maier files puzzle and quest everything adds up to something and there are several intertwined levels that will eventually result in solving the Otto Maier enigma. One clue and deeper meaning can maybe be found in the history of Saga because a Saga records the history of a people’s soul. Saga is one of the Norse goddesses who are numbered among the Asynjur. Snorri (Gylfaginning, ch. 35) lists her as the second goddess...

What’s so special about 12 and 13?

The number 12 symbolizes masculine solar rationality; 13 is very much connected with the Moon and old Goddess/feminine principle and intuition. The moon is by nature linked with womanhood as the length of the menstrual cycles are synced up with the waxing and waning of the moon, occurring around every 28 days. In the ancient times when people were more aware of nature, many women were synced up with the moon’s cycle, menstruating around the new moon and ovulating around […]...
