The Greek Fire

Just as ancient men worshipped the hearth fire above any God, we Aryan races look to the Ancient Greeks as the foundation of our civilizations. For the ancestors, the discovery of fire changed the world. We very much underestimate the importance of fire to the dominion of man. Our ancestors did not. Each kept a lit fire in their homes. A fire they swore never to let die out. The dying out of the hearth fire meant the dying out of a bloodline. The first thing King Agamemnon did upon returning home from the Trojan War, even before paying tribute to Zeus and The Gods, was to go before his hearth fire and perform his family’s secret rites.

We learn about the Ancient Greeks in school. Of all human history beyond our own history, to spend that valuable time on the Greeks is significant. There is an argument to be made, however, that we worship the wrong aspects of the Ancient Greeks. Much time is spent talking about the philosophers and their ideas. Plato and Socrates take the forefront of this education. The Socratics, however, were a minority faction among the Greeks. They were not trusted by the Greeks themselves. Philosophy was synonymous with tyranny. The philosophers, it was believed, plotted to take over the city-states. And the Greeks were likely correct in their suspicions when you realize there is an esoteric reading of Plato’s writings.

An important question must be asked. Why do we admire the Ancient Greeks? Your teachers would probably answer that we admire them for the creation of democracy and invention of philosophy. The popular understanding in both by general educators being rudimentary at best. If you ask sensitive young men, the answers will be much different. They may bring up hoplite warfare, the rise of Alexander, or the myths about Greek heroes. So while the work of Plato and Socrates maybe shouldn’t be ignored, it shouldn’t be the focus of any overview of the Ancient Greek, especially when you understand that Socratics themselves were a small, distrusted minority at the decline of their heroic age.

If you want to get closer to understanding these people we admire so much, who’s glory is as dear to our hearts as those of the Romans, both of whom have influenced the foundation of every Aryan civilization since, you need to understand what they actually believed. What was their true nature? To know the Ancient Greeks better, you do not read Plato, you read Homer and Pindar. From them, you see the emphasis on excellence, which meant excelling at both war and council, and the devotion to The Gods. There is a powerful religious feeling to be read in Homer and Pindar, but it’s often missed because the readers don’t understand the full meaning. The reason why almost every attempt at reviving the Pagan faiths fail is because all these false prophets don’t understand the religions they are trying to revive. There is much evidence about what the ancients believed, but the pieces are never put together.

How many people understand that for the ancient Aryan races — our ancestors — that when a relative died, they became a God? Do you understand what this means? The ancients believed that when one of their own died, they did not go far from their body. They went underground and remained close to the hearth fire. Their surviving family were tasked with leaving them a plate of food, otherwise the God would starve and get angry, haunting its relatives. The religious beliefs varied from family to family. Religion was decentralized, unlike the universalist religions of today. Religion was something “of the blood.” A woman who married, was banished from the religion of her father and inducted into the religion of her husband.

At the center of these religions was the hearth fire. The hearth fire was God, and for these men, the highest God. It was fire that kept them alive. Fire that kept them warm. Fire that reminded man of his own father who had most assuredly had taught the man to make his own fire. Fire that gave them supremacy over their enemies. Fire was the emblem of mankind’s mastery over nature. The fire could never go out.

What then of the pantheons of Gods that most associate with the Greek religion? The Gods were not seen as most people imagine Gods today. Zeus stood at the center with his unconquerable hand holding the thunderbolt. He was stronger than all the Gods combined. All the other Gods such as Ares, Athena, or Apollo could be seen as founders of clans that were brought together over time. Greek tribes would trace their lineage back to these Gods. The POWER of generation is not to be underestimated. Bloodline was very important to the Ancient Greeks as was selective breeding. It was a point of pride to be able to trace your lineage back to the generation of the Gods. The great Achilles boasted of his own blood being traced back to Zeus as he slaughtered Trojans upon the river Scamander. All Greeks attested to their generation by whose son they were(Peleus’ son, Achilles, for example).

The Gods were more than these divine beings. It was commonly believed that the men who came before them were better. There is a saying you find in Homer’s Iliad over and over again, “men such as they are now.” Nestor speaks to this truth as the oldest and wisest amongst the Greek host of how the men he fought beside in his youth were superior men to those of the Trojan War. This sort of view of the world persists even today. How often do we talk about how better prior generations were and how the latest generation pales in comparison? This is what the Greek Fire means to western civilization. Each race tries to live up to their glory. To the glory of the ancestors.

Now this assertion may anger those who hold different religious beliefs, say someone who believes in Odin and the Norse pantheon or a Christian. A Norse Pagan may argue that he must believe in Odin and Thor over Zeus because it is “in their blood.” His ancestors didn’t worship Zeus or Hercules, they were of a different race. To this, it’s vital to remember that all the western races share the same origins. It’s said that we all descend from one man who lived some fourteen thousand years ago. There is also an entire field called comparative mythology which shows how all the Aryan religions are similar and can be traced back to an origin point. There are, however, important asterisks to be clarified in this assertion.

Religion for our ancestors was decentralized. Each family or clan had different rites from the family or clan next to it. A God named Hercules in one city was not seen as the same God as a Hercules from a different city. Over time, perhaps to make easier on modern minds, the myths were centralized and these ideas vanished. Eventually, Christianity itself took over in the end, but we will get to Christianity later. I believe that if you want to revive the Warrior Religion of our ancestors, adapting the Greek religion is the best course to realize the goal — even if you can’t trace your blood back to the Ancient Greeks. What we know from the Norse is very fragmented and much of what we know came from Christians who wrote down their ways.

If you examine the Norse religion, you realize that it confusing and difficult to understand. From a comparative mythology standpoint, Odin doesn’t align with Zeus as the Sky Father and King of The Gods. Odin matches linguistically with Hermes. Zeus, linguistically, matches with the God, Tyr who is scarcely mentioned in the myths that came down to us. Other Germanic people put Thor at the head of their pantheon. For some, Odin is a Solar Sky Father, in others, he is a dark God who walks in the shadows and betrays men as necessary. Applying the decentralized aspect of the Old Ways I described above, it’s easy to explain what happened.

The old religions were decentralized. Different from clan to clan. As they expanded and moved to new areas from their relatives, the rites changed, naturally, as memory is a fickle thing. Some Germanic tribes were broken by the Romans. Some owe their survival to Odin who guided them to safety. Tyr had failed the tribes, so they put their faith in Odin. The tribes that became auxiliaries to the Roman legions saw Odin as this Solar War God. Those who weren’t as lucky, saw Odin as a trickster God who was known to betray them. When Christianity started to take hold, it was the Odin cults who were the first to “convert.”

I can understand the attachment to the Norse religion, but I believe what is left to us is fundamentally broken and not conducive to a people who would make themselves MASTERS. How broken was the aristocracy of these tribes? How many times were these tribes forced from their lands? Made to relocate under duress. It’s no wonder that their Gods are SCARRED. We already know how Christianity felt about aristocracy. But with the Ancient Greeks we find a kept record of what it meant to elite. To be an aristocrat. Once you understand how the Greek faith really functioned, the powerful works of Homer and Pindar become synonymous with the Bible for the Aryan races.

A race cannot thrive without a competent aristocracy. One who’s interested are inline with the people it rules, unlike the modern elite who act as a parasitic mass focused only on short term gain…their gain. It is only in the Greeks that we get the blueprint of ancestors. The Greek Fire cannot be allowed to go out. There is much argument to be made against this. First there will be words, but later on, the blood and RIGHT ARMS of our enemies will be demanded. Covert now while there is still hope in saving your bloodline.
