PH2T3R The Journal of Solar Culture

Finally! Asleep in ITHACA... After years of struggle, Odysseus has returned to his homeland, but the battle is far from over. Books 13-16 show that returning home is not just about arrival—it’s about reclaiming order, forming alliances, and confronting chaos. Odysseus reminds us that patience and loyalty are as essential as strength.⚡Recommended supplementary reading: The Hero and the Man: Language, Truth, and the Homeric Origins of Western Idealismby our own C.B.

James Lindsay made a persuasive case for why "wokism" is a kind of gnostic Marxist religious movement, and we've incorporated his thinking into many of our discussions on and offline. Recently, Lindsay has been talking about the "woke right" and we had to go watch his video about it to see what he was talking about. He seems to see "woke right" as a descendant of the "alt-right." Lindsay warns that the "woke right" may undermine the progress of some of the good things that are happening in American politics right now—and some of his concerns are valid. You can watch Lindsay's on the Woke Right video here:https://youtu.be/IgneBMo1lxY?si=qa6AE...Since ‪@JackDonovan‬ wrote for alternativeright.com in its first year and knew many of the key players in the scene, and ‪@caffeineandphilosophy‬ has been tracking and interacting with related thinkers for more than a decade, we thought we could provide some relevant context based on our experiences. How did the alt-right start, how did it change, and what does it mean now? Is "woke right" a term that makes sense? 🔥 This conversation was streamed live on YouTube at 7PM PST on Nov 14th, 2024.

The Lord of the Earth is one of Solar Idealism's three god archetypes. Because he covers a wide territory, he is sometimes the most difficult or the most often forgotten archetype, even though he represents the majority of what man does every single day—the perpetuation of human life. The Father and the Striker are idealistic and ethereal, but the Lord is rooted in the earth and the body all of the joys and challenges of being a human animal. In preparation for October's upcoming Lord of the Earth event in South Carolina, this week, we'll be exploring all aspect's of The Lord's work, live on YouTube at 7PM PST on Thursday, September 26, 2024.

Is "Initiation" the solution to male depression and anxiety? In the early 1990s, the mythopoetic men's movement started telling men that what they were missing in their lives was "initiation" -- presumably into manhood. But what would these men be initiated INTO? Modern society completely lacks a consensus about what manhood is and what the rights and responsibilities of a man are.What is initiation from an anthropological perspective? Who is selling it to men these days, and what are they selling -- beyond "experiences?" What are some authentic contemporary forms of initiation?
