I am delighted to announce that my book – a compilation of my essays about traditionalism and Indo-European spirituality – is going to be published very soon, in a few weeks. Please turn on notifications for my posts so that you won't miss any updates. 🌝 . . "Heroism is not only about physical combat. It is also a mental struggle to swim against the current, to be a true individualist who is not concerned with the opinion of crowds. A hero is a person who revolts against the modern world by rejecting and disassociating from its trends, fashions, and institutions. He chooses a simple, virtuous, and traditional life in the countryside over the hustle and bustle of big cities, endless money-making, material affluence and artificial paradises. A hero is someone who has a sharp, tough, and Stoic mindset. He perceives discomfort, misfortune, and adversities as perfect opportunities for self-improvement. He is never afraid to take calculated risks. He fully recognizes the crucial importance of physical fitness in our daily life. His willingness to become stronger and more agile has a genuine and profound motivation – he works out not to mask his vain insecurities, but to honour and cultivate a divine part of his soul. A strong body reflects spiritual might." — from my upcoming book . .

What is your favourite entity or a creature from Greek mythology? 🧜‍♀️ . . “Listen closely to what I tell you now and god himself will bring it back to mind.  First you will raise the island of the Sirens,  those creatures who spellbind any man alive,  whoever comes their way. Whoever draws too close,  off guard, and catches the Sirens’ voices in the air — no sailing home for him, no wife rising to meet him,  no happy children beaming up at their father’s face.  The high, thrilling song of the Sirens will transfix him,  lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones…” — Homer, “The Odyssey”. . .
