00:00:00.240 Greetings, my esteemed audience. We are checking in from one of the greatest places in Spain,
00:00:05.920 one of the greatest places in the world even, San Ildefonso. I've been here before,
00:00:10.720 the last time in 2019, so perhaps you recognize the place from pictures I've posted.
00:00:16.000 It pains me to say that this magnificent and magical place has deteriorated quite a bit since
00:00:22.720 last time I was here. I encourage true Spanish patriots to take control of the situation and
00:00:28.480 restore San Ildefonso to its former glory. Now, I will not dwell upon that. We'll get into the
00:00:35.600 main topic of this fine video, which is, as you see in the title, European gods and European blood.
00:00:42.800 But first, a message from the sponsor of this video. I am yet again sponsoring myself and I will
00:00:49.280 keep the message ever so brief. Do check out legiogloria.com. I am wearing the oceanic polo
00:00:55.920 shirt, organic cotton, proudly made in Poland. So do check it out. First link in the description
00:01:00.720 box below. And now, back to the topic at hand. So, you can see before you this absolutely great
00:01:08.320 place of pagan beauty. I talk about this in demigod mentality as well. I said this was a
00:01:15.040 nominally Christian time, so this is built in the early 1700s, commissioned by the Spanish king,
00:01:22.480 Philip V. Now, the gardens. We have to thank a sensitive Italian lady, an Italian lady of high
00:01:31.120 culture and refined taste, Elisabeth Farnese. Now, you might recognize the name Farnese if you have
00:01:37.440 watched the Borgias series. I can highly recommend it. It's great stuff. So, yes, it's the same family,
00:01:43.040 the illustrious Farnese family of Italy. Anyway, she lived here as the Queen of Spain for a time and
00:01:49.600 she invited an Italian architect or a sculptor to create this beautiful garden or the statues in
00:01:56.400 the garden. So that is the connection right there. And of course, the interesting part is that you have
00:02:01.920 in the supposedly Christian era, you still have these gods coming up. So, our old European gods, 0.99
00:02:08.960 they never went away. They were always with us. They are still with us. It feels great, mate.
00:02:16.080 Now, on to the question at hand. Why do I, a sensitive Swedish gentleman, have an affinity with
00:02:23.280 these Roman gods or Greek gods or other European gods? To answer this question, we need to go deep
00:02:30.880 into European prehistory. Now, before getting into the bio-spiritual side of things, before getting
00:02:37.760 that deep, we can also say something about the cultural relevance of these Roman statues. And that is,
00:02:45.120 of course, that if you go to certain places in Sweden as well, I will show in the autumn,
00:02:50.560 I will show in autumn the palace of Drottingholm. You will see the same style, the same aesthetic,
00:02:56.560 and that is because European powers want to share the spirit of Rome, the spirit of high European
00:03:03.360 civilization. So, they sort of harken back to that time to create a sense of epicness and beauty. So,
00:03:09.920 that is a more cultural thing. But now we're getting into the great and interesting prehistory
00:03:17.360 of Europe. So, as you perhaps already know, and I will make a separate video on this talking about
00:03:24.240 the interconnectedness of European peoples. So, basically, you have three European population
00:03:30.160 groups. The first one, hunter-gatherers, Western hunter-gatherers, and you can sometimes see the woke,
00:03:37.200 lying media. They portray these gentlemen and fine ladies. They portray them as sub-Saharan 0.96
00:03:43.840 Africans, but with blue eyes. I have talked about this before, so I will just show a painting,
00:03:49.440 a depiction here, of what a Western hunter-gatherer male might have looked like. So, still
00:03:54.320 well within a European phenotype. Then came the Anatolian Neolithic farmers, and they could take over 0.99
00:04:01.120 much of Europe, because there were so many of them, so they could take over. But eventually, 0.74
00:04:05.840 they mixed with these hunter-gatherers, and they created a population group known as the
00:04:10.720 Early European Farmers. And if you want to know what they might have looked like,
00:04:14.800 you can have a look at modern-day Sardinians, because they are a quite well-preserved group.
00:04:20.080 So, a mix of these two first groups, or, well, not first groups, but first groups in this particular
00:04:26.000 story. So, I'm simplifying greatly now, by the way. There is so much to say about this
00:04:31.040 very fascinating topic. Those dominated Europe for a long time, until the Aryans, 0.99
00:04:36.640 the Indo-Europeans, came in from the steppes of modern-day Ukraine. And this is the most important
00:04:43.920 group for our discussion here today. So, when we're looking at all of these gods,
00:04:48.880 we are looking at Aryan gods. And that can explain the similarity between myths, religion,
00:04:55.680 religious attitudes, social attitudes, language as well. So, if you know the Indo-European language
00:05:02.080 family, you have, of course, Latin, Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, quite similar, and then they have
00:05:07.520 developed in different directions due to the nature of reality. Things develop. Same thing with the gods.
00:05:14.560 So, when I feel a certain affinity with a Roman god, or a Celtic god, or a Slavic god,
00:05:21.040 that is because they are related, just as the languages are related. So, I have an easier time
00:05:26.800 understanding Latin languages. So, Spanish, for example. I have an easier time understanding
00:05:32.080 Spanish than Chinese. So, we are closer in that way. And the main gods we have in Europe, they come from
00:05:39.280 this Aryan group, or Indo-European, you can call it. Aryan is a bit of a controversial term.
00:05:44.400 Ever since the Second World War. But I believe it's a better term. Because Indo-European can be a bit 1.00
00:05:49.360 misleading. Because then people think they came from India. But the opposite is true. They came 1.00
00:05:54.080 from Europe and they invaded Iran and India. And this, by the way, if you ever see me post about 0.56
00:05:59.920 Indian gods or Iranian gods, I still have a certain affinity with those gods as well. Because they
00:06:05.520 originated in Europe. The field of study is called comparative mythology. Extremely interesting stuff.
00:06:13.120 So, in the 1800s, many wise men in Europe, they began to look at this stuff and said,
00:06:19.120 why do we find commonalities between Irish myth and Indian myth? How can it be? They are so far apart,
00:06:25.920 yet so similar in many ways, in their heroic outlook on life. Then they started looking at languages.
00:06:33.760 We find commonalities between these languages separated by many miles. And then, lo and behold,
00:06:41.920 recent scientific developments, we can actually look at DNA. So we can see that the Aryan invasion 1.00
00:06:48.640 theory of India, so the Aryans coming in to create the higher castes of India and creating that sort of 0.97
00:06:55.200 culture and religion, yes, it is now backed up by genetic studies. You can watch Survive the Jive's
00:07:01.520 great video on the matter. So, to summarize my point, the origins of the gods, they originate with this
00:07:09.600 particularly heroic and epic population group, the Aryans or the Proto-Indo-Europeans or whatever you
00:07:16.160 want to refer to them as. Also, important point that, again, religions do develop and that is why
00:07:23.200 we see during the Roman era, for example, you see many religious influences coming in from the east.
00:07:30.480 Primarily Christianity, but also things such as the cult of Isis coming straight from Egypt.
00:07:36.800 Then we have the cult of Mithras, which I have talked about many times before.
00:07:42.480 The Roman god Mithras, inspired by the Iranian god Mithra, both of them share the same Aryan origins.
00:07:50.640 So, famous rivalry Rome and Persia, famous rivalry Rome and the Germanic tribes, the Goths in particular,
00:07:58.400 they all share the same Aryan roots. So Persians, Romans, Celts, Goths, among many others. Great stuff 1.00
00:08:06.640 indeed. So it makes perfect sense for all true sons of Mother Europe to pay homage to Mithras or Mithra.
00:08:14.640 There are, of course, many good European men who are Christians, so let me say a few things
00:08:19.440 about Christianity. I will make a separate video soon about my thoughts on Christianity, but
00:08:24.160 what I can say for now is that just as these Aryan religions, they developed in different directions,
00:08:31.200 so even if Irish and Roman mythology or Nordic or Greek mythology, they have similarities, they are
00:08:37.920 still distinct because they developed in different directions. Christianity also developed a lot and
00:08:43.520 changed a lot over the course of history. So it began, as you all know, in Judea back in the day with
00:08:50.560 Jesus Christ. Then when it came into contact with the greater world, the greater Greco-Roman world, 0.99
00:08:56.960 it transformed to make it more appealing to non-Jews, basically. Then when Christianity came 0.86
00:09:03.600 into contact with the warlike Germanic tribes of Europe, it transformed even more. And if you are 0.79
00:09:09.440 interested in this, I can recommend a book titled The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity by
00:09:14.960 James C. Russell. I wrote a book review on it on my page. You can check it out. So this is also
00:09:20.960 something to keep in mind if you are not an appreciator of Christianity. You have to keep in mind that
00:09:25.920 many things you believe are Christian. They actually have their origins in European pagan religious
00:09:33.600 tradition. So anyway, my main point in this video, I hope you enjoy the video, enjoy my ramblings here,
00:09:41.120 and enjoy the nice footage. The main point is that all European peoples share blood. They are built up by 0.99
00:09:48.960 these three population groups. So therefore, it makes perfect sense that Europeans and Europeans
00:09:55.200 worldwide, of course, have a certain affinity with the gods or even the culture of other Europeans.
00:10:02.000 This, by the way, can also explain the religious tolerance of the Romans. Well, they were tolerant with
00:10:08.560 certain religions. They were tolerant with the other Europeans and the Egyptians. To a certain extent,
00:10:13.520 they were not as tolerant with the Carthaginians and the Judeans. So that's a topic for another time,
00:10:19.600 but it can at least explain it that when they come into contact with other Aryan groups. They were more
00:10:25.520 tolerant because they could identify more with their gods, even though by this stage they had developed
00:10:31.520 in different directions. So they translated Odin as Mercury, for example, and that translation is not
00:10:37.920 perfect. But that's a topic for another time. Now, some additional commentary on San Ildefonso. There is
00:10:44.560 you see me hugging a tree. Why on earth am I hugging a tree? You might ask. Well, perhaps there's a tree
00:10:50.800 spirit there. Perhaps it needed a hug. It needed some love. It needed to be connected with something
00:10:56.720 of high vibration and love. So therefore, I thought it was reasonable. And there you see me going to
00:11:03.200 a statue of the Muses. Well, one of them at least, trying to channel divine energy so I can have a 0.97
00:11:09.600 creative autumn with a lot of videos, podcasts and writing and good stuff. So absolutely beautiful
00:11:17.280 place. I can't stress this enough. And now I will end this video with some bonus footage from the
00:11:23.600 castle of Manzanares. You saw it perhaps in a real, a short video I made a while back. So we went back
00:11:30.800 there to get some nice footage from inside the castle. So do enjoy that. Thanks for watching.
00:11:36.560 Thank you for your support. And I will see you in the next video. XOXO. Boom!
00:12:06.560 Sure.
00:12:36.560 We'll be right back.
00:13:06.560 We'll be right back.
00:13:36.560 We'll be right back.
