Sun Archer : The Pursuit of the Ancient Truth.
Writings by Hrukjan.
I read this book a couple times when it came out and enjoyed it very much. The author is well versed in Russian language and has researched much that is not very accessible to English speakers, especially on Northern Esotericism, Shamanism, and theories regarding mankind’s existence upon the Earth. There’s something in here for all... Continue Reading →
If you’re deeply invested in the runes and rune-work, then this book will be of great use to your collection. “Sorcerer’s Screed” offers innumerable cipher sets to study and experiment with, showing one how they can essentially create their own “secret” systems of runes and runic writing. You can see here how much of the... Continue Reading →
This is a great addition to the shelf for anyone wanting to step out of their comfort zone with rune-work and runic theory. 3 different systems are analyzed and explained here, with additional historical context regarding the figures involved and their lives. It would be difficult to not find something useful here, no matter your... Continue Reading →

Many concepts are introduced here for those who want to learn more about these things. Some Vedic astrology and deities are also discussed.

If you already have a basic understanding of Eastern philosophy, this book will be a great addition to the shelf for those looking to delve deeper into (Tibetan) Buddhism. Although the Tibetan language is not part of the Indo-European language family, the foundations of Buddhism were created by Sanskrit speaking (IE) peoples, making it part... Continue Reading →
Fun, bizarre, and unorthodox reads from Dr. Robert Svoboda. These track some of his accounts in India and the teachings of his guru, the Aghori master Vimalananda. In a way, these read like Carlos Castaneda books, although through the words of a Tantric Shaivite. The Aghori path shows that not all roads to liberation are... Continue Reading →
There are a few different “Left Hand Path” schools of paganism that some may find easier to digest than others. The Thursatru faith is one of these paths and presents an interesting form of practice based on “Thursian” gods and forces. Depending on your background, there are many things here that one may wish to... Continue Reading →
When it comes to modern (and easily accessible) works on Paganism, Thorsson’s “Nine Doors of Midgard” is probably the most complete and well done piece that gives one a truly robust and challenging curriculum to follow. The reading list for each door is great and the overall outline will no doubt send you down a... Continue Reading →
For those interested in Germanic Paganism, this is an excellent source for poetry and devotional hymns in the Gothic language. This includes songs and invocations to archaic forms of Odin, Thor, Freyr, Frigga, and many other familiar divinities. Although these are modern pieces, they hold within them a genuine love and respect for the Pagan... Continue Reading →
For those looking for further reading recommendations on pre-Christian Germanic culture, here’s a few more books that I found useful on the journey: - “Teutonic Mythology” by Jacob Grimm. - “Barbarian Rites” by Hasenfratz. - “Runic and Heroic Poems of the Old Teutonic Peoples” Dickins editions. For those who like a quick informative read, “Barbarian... Continue Reading →
