on divination, Oracle Cards, Tarot, runes, our mortal being

Varg Vikernes had a good video, on his now-Shoahed channel, about “cosmic censorship”. Quoth Varg:

“We cannot find these things that way for a reason. That there is some sort of cosmic censorship preventing us from understanding, because we are not meant to, because it’s not that track we are supposed to follow, because it’s not going to help us in any way, even if we find out these things.”

I’ve been doing a lot of Tarot readings recently, as my life is desperate and I can see no way out. I’ve also briefly experimented with oracle cards but found them often useless. I believe this is because they are too obvious: whereas the Tarot will yield a suggestive image

an Oracle Card will tell you something like “consider your friendships” or “believe in yourself”. A sceptic might say that, with oracle cards, there is no room for the deluded to weave a justifying fantasy. Perhaps. But I have also occasionally had Tarot readings that simply made no sense – which is an answer of sorts; as it were invalidating the query.

The word rune comes from Old English run, meaning a secret or mystery. I believe there is a kind of existential censorship, which limits us to interpretation, speculation, uncertainty. Divination, at least in my experience, works very well but only within a speculative context; only insofar as everything is deniable (it is, in this sense, akin to a “Q proof”). When divination becomes too mechanistic, too obvious, it fails.

This suggests, to me, that we mortal beings are not intended to perceive face to face, but rather through a glass darkly. When I began my largely self-initiation, just over a decade ago, I experienced a number of omens, real-world events, visions, and assumed this was my new normal; instead, after a few weeks things returned (largely) to the banal. I noticed this with others – when they entered the Path, they experienced dazzling tokens of the divine, and then nothing. Some, naturally, lose faith and become apostate; hopping from faith to faith until they finally become secular materialists who wish there was a spiritual force to things, but cannot believe. They are, if not hollow men, at least destitute and forlorn:

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man’s gift and that man’s scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings?)
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?

In Eliot’s poem, the speaker is placed between worlds, unable to devote himself to the merely material, unable to wholly believe. I would say, it is important to recall and rekindle the tokens of faith:

But the fountain sprang up and the bird sang down
Redeem the time, redeem the dream
The token of the word unheard, unspoken

Till the wind shake a thousand whispers from the yew

And after this our exile

In our material exist, we require the patience and deep roots of the yew, the death tree.

 

wisdom and intelligence, Dungeons & Dragons

I’ve been re-reading the Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weiss’ Dragonlance books; meanwhile Varg Vikernes was discussing Dungeons & Dragons on Twitter, bringing back many memories to this old dog. D & D character generation was my favourite, as it didn’t involve other people (I usually couldn’t find people to play with, so had to be both game master & player, which isn’t much fun and probably drove me insane). Each character had six attributes; for each, you had to roll a 6-sided die three times and total the scores – so, somewhere between 3 and 18.

The 6 character attributes were:

Constitution (health, toughness)

Strength

Dexterity

Intelligence

Wisdom

Charisma

As with Vox Day’s sociosexual hierarchy, categories can be useful, as long as one bears their limitations in mind. As a child/teenager I wasn’t sure how to distinguish intelligence, wisdom, and charisma, since some people are charismatic precisely because of their intelligence or wisdom. I also wondered where intelligence becomes wisdom – is it possible to be wise but stupid, or intelligent and foolish/unwise? As a teenager, I didn’t get it.

I would now say wisdom and intelligence are two quite distinct categories. Indeed, since the intelligent (let’s say, in D & D terms, those with an Intelligence score of 13+) are more likely to attend Marxoid higher “education” and be pumped full of anti-white, anti-Western lies, you could argue that the less intelligent may well have a higher Wisdom score. It would be interesting to, D & D-style, quantify “Marxist Idiocy” from 3 to 18 and see how it correlates with Intelligence; my guess is, there would be some at the 16-18 Intelligence level who would exhibit little or no Marxist Idiocy, being intelligent enough to see through it; however, they would also require a higher Wisdom score, since wisdom guides the intellect: in a sense, wisdom is the pilot and navigator of intellect.

I was puzzling over a definition of Wisdom, and decided for myself: Wisdom is the realisation of intelligence in a man’s daily acts & decision. Thus, the highly intelligent people who make routinely disastrous decisions and end up ruining themselves & others lack wisdom; and the less-intelligent or dim who apply what intelligence they have can be wise. For the latter, one does not require a high IQ to know that a woman who has a different boyfriend every week, and has no friends for longer than 6 months, is trouble. The highly intelligent are more likely to fail to apply their intellect to the most important matters. For example, Saul Bellow and his gorillion fucked-up marriages. Or perhaps they abuse intellect, to explain away the conclusions of Wisdom and pursue their own folly.

The highly intelligent often seem to limit their actual intellectual activity to highly abstract affairs – mathematics, logic, chess, philosophy, science. In the Dragonlance system, Raistlin’s Intelligence is 17, his Wisdom 14: I find this quite plausible, as he is wise enough to know what will make him happy (power, especially magical) and to largely eschew all else.

There seems no easy schooling for wisdom. It’s mostly instinct honed by painful experience.

the banning of Varg

Last night, as I was thinking of turning in I saw two notification bells on my Youtube account. I checked and found one from Millennial Woe and one from Praying Medic, to the effect that if their channels are banned they have backups elsewhere. What the fuck? thought I. Then Woes was streaming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ9qH61OfOA

so I got to bed an hour later than planned.

Varg, The Great Order and some other channels were outright deleted, others totally demonetized. I was puzzled by the choices. Varg had a fairly large channel and spent a lot of his time attacking other pro-white Youtubers for e.g. taking donations (Survive the Jive), having dark hair (Woes), having a Youtube channel and not pumping out babies (Lauren Southern), liking cathedrals (The Golden One), and in the remaining time made interesting videos about gardening, raising children, black metal, weapons, and rather Uncle Ted-esque observations about Western civilisation and its effects upon us and  our environment. The Great Order’s channel was much smaller and a mix of streams and poetry readings & philosophy. Why these two and not others?

Putting aside the often incoherent and senseless nature of Cabal oppression, I suspect these were test cases, that The Great Order and Varg were chosen as representative of certain Youtube demographics, and the enemy will be closely observing the fallout. After they have an idea of the likely response, they will hit other pagan pro-white channels (Varg) and other streaming pro-white channels (The Great Order).

Of course, the targeted will simply shift to Bitchute and other platforms. But I think the point isn’t to utterly stamp dissident thought out; it is to segregate it from the normies. Part of the fun of Twitter was watching Woes, Stefan Molyneux and others bantering with normies and Leftist scum. If everyone to the right of the Clintons moves to Gab and Bitchute, the normies can safely inhabit their snugs and ignore dissenting opinions. The medium-range aim, I think, is to segregate the Right from the Left.

While the Right enjoy observing and criticising the Left, indeed this is the backbone of e.g.  Sargon of Akkad’s channel, the Left prefer to avoid even noticing the genuine Right. The prefer to concoct a boogeyman of KKK and Nazi imagery and project the resulting mess onto anyone who doesn’t want European culture & peoples to be utterly exterminated. They don’t want to actually talk to e.g Vox Day or Millennial Woes; because then they might think, “he’s really quite nice! and he does have a point…”

And so, the proximate goal is segregation.
