Secret Sons of Europe


I remembered you wrong
I remembered you strong
I have severed all links, all attachments
To study your gestures
You shephard, you merchant
You cold-hearted deserter
Death is not a trivial matter
Death is no trivial matter

La muerte no es un asunto trivial

And jealousy appeared
Among a crowd of well-wishers
And carried these mournful lanterns
All gossip, all slander
My sweet black childhood
A secret son of europe
In stern ordeals
Our great refusal to fear

La muerte no es un asunto trivial
Mi dulce y negra niñez
Un hijo secreto de europa
Todo lo que hemos hecho
Todo... He perdonado
Todo... He perdonado

Einmal vor Unermässlichem stehen (Stand before the immeasurable)
Einmal vor Unaussprechlichem stehen (Stand before the unspeakable)
Einmal vor Unbestechlichem stehen (Stand before the incorruptible)
Einmal vor Unverdächtigem stehen (Stand before the one who is not suspect)

I remembered you strong (Einmal vor Unvergesslichem stehen)
But I remembered you wrong (Einmal vor Unzerbrechlichem stehen)
Everything is forgiven (Einmal vor Unerbittlichem stehen)
Everything we’ve done (Einmal vor Unermässlichem stehen)
My sweet black childhood (Einmal vor Unaussprechlichem) stehen
A secret son of europe (Einmal vor Unbestechlichem) stehen
In stern ordeals (Einmal vor Unverdächtigem stehen)
Our great refusal to fear (Einmal vor...)

Our great refusal to fear
Our great refusal to fear
Einmal ins Innere!

The Tree, the Serpent, and the Titans Pt. 1

Image
The Tree, the Serpent, and the Titans - from  The Hermetic Tradition by Julius Evola    One of the symbols that we encounter in diverse traditions remote in both time and space is that of the tree. Metaphysically, the tree expresses the universal force that spreads out in manifestation the same way that the plant energy spreads out from its invisible roots to the trunk, branches, leaves, and fruit. Consistently associated with the tree are on the one hand, ideas of immortality and supernatural consciousness, and on the other, symbols of mortal, destructive forces and frightening natures such as dragons, serpents, or demons. There also exists a whole cycle of mythological references to dramatic events in which the tree plays a central part and in whose allegory profound meanings are hidden. The biblical myth of the fall of Adam, among others, is well known. Let us highlight some of its variants, but not without first pointing out the universality of the symbolic...

St. Nikolai of Ochrid: Lord, Bless My Enemies

Image
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. Enemies have driven me into your embrace more than friends have. Friends have bound me to earth, enemies have loosed me from earth and have demolished all my aspirations in the world. Enemies have made me a stranger in worldly realms and an extraneous inhabitant of the world.  Just as a hunted animal finds safer shelter than an unhunted animal does, so have I, persecuted by enemies, found the safest sanctuary, having ensconced myself beneath your tabernacle, where neither friends nor enemies can slay my soul. Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. They, rather than I, have confessed my sins before the world. They have punished me, whenever I have hesitated to punish myself. They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to flee torments. They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered myself. They have spat upon me, whenever I have filled myself...

Gardens of Daphne

Image
   "At the distance of five miles from Antioch, the Macedonian kings of Syria had consecrated to Apollo one of the most elegant places of devotion in the Pagan world. A magnificent temple rose in honour of the god of light; and his colossal figure almost filled the capacious sanctuary, which was enriched with gold and gems, and adorned by the skill of the Grecian artists. The deity was represented in a bending attitude, with a golden cup in his hand, pouring out a libation on the earth; as if he supplicated the venerable mother to give to his arms the cold and beauteous Daphne: for the spot was ennobled by fiction; and the fancy of the Syrian poets had transported the amorous tale from the banks of the Peneus to those of the Orontes. The ancient rites of Greece were imitated by the royal colony of Antioch. A stream of prophecy, which rivalled the truth and reputation of the Delphic oracle, flowed from the Castalian fountain of Daphne. In the adjacent fields a stadium was bu...
