Jive Book Review of 'Theurgy and the Soul: The Neoplatonism of Iamblichus' by Gregory Shaw, Professor of Religious Studies at Stonehill College. In this work he outlines the philosophy and ritual practise of Iamblichus of Syria (ca. 240 325), whose teachings set the final form of pagan spirituality prior to the Christianization of the Roman Empire. Theurgy literally means "divine action" or "godly work" I describe how this work is useful for modern polytheists including Heathens like myself.
I visited a well preserved stone age village on a remote Scottish island. Skara Brae is 5000 years old and one of the best preserved Neolithic settlements in the world. Part 3 of my HYPERBOREAN ODYSSEY series includes Orkney, the Isle of Skye in the Hebrides, Fingal's Cave amd Ailsa Craig both steeped in Gaelic folklore, and the island of Iona where the Columban abbey was established until it was destroyed by Vikings.
Some people are saying the English have no identity or culture of their own. Others are trying to ban the term "Anglo-Saxon" from academic discourse.
This video is my response to them.
I was a guest on the Dialogue show of Reality Check radio in New Zealand. We talked about the attack on the Anglo-Saxons in academia and the recent riots in the UK caused by the two tier legal system and the murder of native children by an African man.
The playback of the radio show is available here
The show prompted one so called "extremist researcher" from Massey University (@CTPuzzlePieces), who ironically is herself a far left extremist, to call in a hate filled thread on X for references to the Anglo-Saxon ethnic group to be erased via hate speech legislation.
🧵'Anglo-Saxons': This is echoing a theme that re-emerged in the veneered racial -cultural language of the extreme right years ago. It is warps white ancestry & religion for propaganda & agitation. #TrojanHorse #revisionst tactics. 1/ 8 https://t.co/bQHyGjne1B

I dropped in on Beau at the Lotus Eaters to chat about British prehistory. In this clip I explain Celtic hill forts..
In this clip I compare the megalith folk to the Beaker folk. Who was more advanced?
