The Metaphysics of Action as Expressed by the Germanic Pagan Trinity
In this piece, I will explain how we can metaphorically link all actions, plans and inspiration to a formula represented by the three main deities of Germanic mythology.

The World is What You Make It
People talk about “the real world” a lot. Referring, usually, to their self built life of slavery; as if it were something one must accept and welcome.
