Oblivion (2013) – one of the most Pagan movies with zero axes or mead
This movie seems extremely important to me – in fact, it’s more Pagan than most Viking-inspired flicks with actors in war paint wearing biker jackets. Pagan media literacy time (Spoliers inside!) The movie is one giant metaphor for European culture and history that’s been hijacked by Christianity. Oblivion does a great job capturing the spiritual…

How to develop intuition – a practical guide for you and your kids
Intuition is a strong desire to act or not act in a certain way that comes to you inexplicably. It’s usually right, just as your first impression about an idea or someone you meet. You can train your intuition to be more accurate and it’ll make you a lot happier. Trusting your intuition is a…

Troy (2004) – Purposely Godless but Wholesome
The movie is exceptionally well-made and pleasing to watch. The kids love it, it’s bright, the story is clear, there are many, many themes to discuss, and it’s an amazing gateway to Greek mythology and history. It’s definitely a staple in the list of Pagan movies for kids. However, while Troy has all the aesthetics…

“300” Movie review – pretty but misleading
“300” (2006) has been a staple in the masculinity/heroism movie stack for years, but what’s under the surface? In short, the movie is anti-Iran and anti-Muslim propaganda piece for the general USA public. Yahwist war-mongering propaganda being the main purpose of the movie, the spiritual European Pagan aspect is severely lacking. Even though the movie…

Homeric Europe mindset for your kids (and for you)
When you start reading the Odyssey or the Iliad for the first time, you instantly notice how different everyone’s mindset is from everything we’re used to in the modern world. In many ways, it feels like coming home. It’s a very healthy system for your sons, and for you as a man. Greek myths and…

The Lord of The Rings (2001-2003)
The movies are very well-made and always a fun watch. Peter Jackson managed to create something nice before the times of mandatory African elves and too many strong & independent female characters. However, there are major ways the movie corrupts the original lore. These are the main discrepancies: Evil Even more so than the original…
