PH2T3R The Journal of Solar Culture

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest stories in the world, if not the oldest. It's rarely read, but human and relatable. Ultimately, it's a story about an extremely masculine man struggling with the loss of his best friend and his own mortality. The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the foundational stories in The Order of Fire, and all of the First Men are required to read it.⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

Many of the members of the First Men and followers of the Order of Fire are Warhammer 40K enthusiasts. This week, to coincide with the upcoming release of the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 game, we'll be joined by Montana from the Order's First Men to discuss Warhammer 40K and some of the themes in the game and the associated mythos that overlap with concepts in Solar Idealism. ⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

After seeing Aliens - Romulus in the theater last week, it hit me. Xenomorphs are space dragons. They come from the void, and is no real sense that exist to do anything but bring death. They are matriarchal. Is a queen -- like the one in Resurrection -- a manifestation of Tiamat? And there's a Satanic connection -- Satanists love H.R. Giger who designed the xenomorphs and who also produced all kinds of Baphomets and occult imagery. Look up his Necronomicon. Join us as we discuss all things xenomorph and how they fit into the eternal archetype of the Dragon that must die.⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

In this week's live show, we'll explore the psychologies, philosophies, and methodologies behind various forms of weight training. We picked "weight training" specifically, because "weight lifting" and "strength training" can signal two different forms of training. So, with "weight training" we can talk about all of the modes of training that involve moving weight -- including body weight training.We'll delve into the various subcultures of weight training and the philosophies behind them, and ask "why train at all?" (Historically, most men did not strength train in any formal or regular way -- though one could say that even today, only a minority of the population engages in any regular weight training.) ⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

It's not just California. There's a lot of it in Austin these days, too, and you'll find a little bit of it all over the country and throughout the Western world (such as it is). It's not a creed—it's a vibe. It's "spiritual" but never "religious." It favors Eastern, exotic, and New Age ideas but acknowledges Jesus as a groovy cat who just wanted to bring people together in peace and love, man. If there is one central belief to California Spirituality, it is "nonjudgmentalism." It seems to have flourished in laid-back cities full of transplants like LA and San Francisco, and it greased the wheels of the Hollywood machine. It's nonconfrontational, a la carte, and good for business. It persists in the "life coaching" and "retreat" culture. However, California Spirituality is no match for the gnostic Marxism of woke intersectionality -- because that is ALL about judgment and generally BAD for business. ⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

Was Buddha a hipster? Buddha was born into the Kshatriya (warrior) caste -- a prince, likely destined to rule over a small area in Nepal. Because he saw suffering in the world, he renounced his title and wealth to pursue "enlightenment," leaving his wife and newborn son behind. Sounds like a spoiled rich kid move -- like the kids who live on the street and beg for change because they are "fighting the man" while their parents keep nice cars in the driveway waiting for them to get bored and come home. ⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan.

What kind of relationship do you have with food? What does a good relationship with food look and feel like? To further explore "Zoological Humanism" and the Lord of the Earth archetype, we'll discuss the impact of food and diet on our lives, both positively and negatively. For this show, we will be joined by Ed Hamann -- our Vedic expert in the Order of Fire. Ed spent years studying and teaching people about food and cooking all over the world.If you feel like you or the people around you have a negative relationship with food, we encourage you to watch our friend Josh Wood's TEDx talk: "Eat Like An Adult." 🔥 This conversation was streamed live on YouTube at 7PM PST on August 1st, 2024.

If we believe that beauty is better than ugliness, it doesn't make sense to outsource the work of creating and curating beauty to men and women who may care more about shock value or destructive politics than creating beauty. Style and fashion both come from roots that imply creative agency. To fashion is to make, and style comes from a utensil used to write. However, many turn their noses up at "fashion" -- generally associated with airheads following the latest trends -- and style, which tends to be associated with a distinctive aesthetic and good taste. On this show, we're going to talk about approaching personal style and aesthetics from a masculine (and obviously, solar) perspective. Visual communication sends a message. What message are you sending? 🔥 This conversation was streamed live on YouTube at 7PM PST on July 25, 2024.

We're told that sex and gender are different, but that wasn't always the case. When did this happen? Who does that distinction benefit, and why? Should we stop making that distinction and tacitly accepting their frame?

This week, Jack Donovan and C.B. Robertson discuss our relationship with violence as men, as humans, and in the context of human societies. We'll briefly discuss the concepts in "Violence is Golden" and Jack's recently released fable, "How the Tiger Opened His Third Eye," and then move through various related discussions. ⚡Check out Violence is Golden and The Third Eye of the Tiger merch here.🔥 This conversation was streamed live on YouTube at 7PM PST on July 11, 2024.
