Questions about Invocation of the Storm, Solar Idealism, The Father, The Striker, and The Order of Fire.

A mythic story about The Father calling down the gods of the storm -- his Strikers -- to drive back the darkness and nihilism of the Dragon, Negation. Invocation of the Storm was written and performed by Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men, to an epic soundtrack created by @templetribe .

The Striker god-archetype, The Champion of Order, integrates the myths of warrior gods and heroes -- from Apollo the Far-Striker to the Strikers that particularly inspired this video, the Maruts from the Rig Veda. The Striker Thunderbolt symbol seen in the video represents two crossed thunder weapons, meant to evoke both Zeus’ keraunos and Indra’s vajra. They extend outward like spear points from the ordered center — the sun, the fire, the sacred point of orientation from which all hierarchies of values emanate. The sharpened tips of the thunderbolts face the perimeter to champion order, driven by the primal and eternal masculine virtues of strength, courage, mastery, and honor. This is an insignia of warriors and heroes, of men who summon their own might to overcome physical challenges and physical chaos.
