Continuing our exploration of the Vedic Gods, Jack Donovan retells the story of Indra—the storming king of the gods—and Vala, a stone serpent who guards a cavern full of radiant stolen cattle. This tale shows Indra in a different role as a priest-king who uses words of truth as his weapons. After telling the story, he spends a few moments unpacking the symbolism and shares his interpretation of Vala as a "mind worm" or idée fixe that can prevent intellectual growth and understanding. 🔥 Buy PH2T3R - The Journal of Solar Culture Vol. 01 on Amazon. https://a.co/d/fAce4Ti Or order something through the Order of Fire store. https://orderoffire.shop/ 🔥 Jack Donovan is the founder of The Order of Fire and PH2T3R and the author of The Way of Men, Fire in the Dark, Becoming a Barbarian, and A More Complete Beast.

A brief introduction to Rig Veda for Westerners. This video will help you understand the cultural and historical context of Rig Veda, Vedic Gods, and Vedic Religion. Jack Donovan explains why he thinks the manly, chariot-driving warrior gods of Rig Veda are worth learning more about, and how the life-affirming Vedic perspective can be relevant to men living today. Rig Veda is one of the first books that member of the Order of Fire's First Men read, and Vedic ideas figure prominently in Solar Culture and ritual. ⚡️NOTES Pronunciation in this video is not authoritative -- just a rough attempt -- and we'll have our Vedic guru make a pronunciation video in the future. Proto-Indo-European migrations are the subject of ongoing and changing debate, and are only casually sketched out here to show the connections between European, Iranian, and Vedic cultures.
