The 'Ash Die-back', from a Heathen Perspective

As Heathens we view our World through symbolism – not a symbolism devoid of actuality, but rather in terms of material signals here in Middangeard representing equally significant actions in the spirit worlds. This works two ways in that spiritual acts can influence the material world (this is what some call ‘magic’) and physical acts can enhance our connection with the spirit worlds, the gods and guides, and the incorporeal aspects of our self. This in turn strengthens our ability to affect change through spiritual work.

Symbolism provides a language which can cross the Nine Worlds, communicating to and from the gods and spirits. This is what makes the Runes so powerful – a timeless, ancient alphabet which is understood across time, space and realm. Even the uninitiated person of Germanic ancestry feels, on a very deep level, that something is being communicated to them when they are presented with runes – they just haven’t discovered yet how to translate the message so that it can be understood in this world.

The same goes for symbols that appear alien to us – such as Satanic, Kabbalic, Freemasonic designs. These do not speak to us on an ancestral level but are nevertheless used against us on a daily basis – on our currency, on state flags, on television and even in road layouts – to name just a few. The point here is that our enemies – those tyrants who purport to rule over us – use this ‘magic’ against us.

So with this in mind, you may understand why the disease that is destroying Ash trees across England and Northern Europe concerns me on a far deeper level than mere environmental worry. Please read on...

“The Chalara fraxinea fungus, which causes Chalara dieback - also known as ash dieback - has already killed 90% of ash trees in Denmark.”

Woden/Wotan/Odin – the Allfather of the Northern European peoples – is closely associated with the Ash tree. This is the first symbolic significance of the Ash tree. The Germanic World Tree – the ‘Irminsul’ (Saxon) or ‘Yggdrasil’ (Norse) – is generally accepted to be an Ash tree (occasionally considered to be a Yew), and it is from this tree that Woden hung himself for nine nights to “take up the runes”. In short, the Irminsul/Ash is sacred amongst Northern Europeans and represents the acquisition of profound knowledge. Furthermore, according to the Eddas, the first man was ‘Ask’. In Old English, this is ‘Aesc’, or in modern English, Ash. So the Ash tree symbolises the first of our ancestors, our Allfather Woden, the backbone of our cosmos as the World Tree, and the pursuit of knowledge. This Financial Times article is even titled "With the Ash trees, a part of us dies".

I believe, as many do, that Northern Europeans are the primary target for enslavement by the New World Order. The modern Western world was predominantly founded by people of Northern European descent, and it is these lands which are being subjected to a deliberate programme of mass-immigration, cultural degeneration and debt. When one considers which nations are most under threat from extinction due to the importation of foreign peoples and culture, one must first consider England, Sweden, France, America, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands. All of Europe suffers, but the Germanic regions most of all. This is a calculated agenda, led by bankers, insidious politicians, media moguls and other Globalist entities (who for the most part are not Northern European themselves by ancestry) to create a New World Order populated by a consumer/slave race.

Most will refuse to believe it, but the architects of this New World Order operate wholeheartedly within the realm of symbolism. They understand the power of archetypes and they use this knowledge against us every day to manipulate the masses. The role of politics is to deceive us into thinking that they operate exclusively within the mundane world and have no interest in occult workings. They also realise, as we all should, that the old Heathen ways instil within us the forces of liberty and intuition. Our Allfather Woden is our champion of knowledge, Thunor/Thor will slay the serpent and our Noble Virtues brazenly defy the Globalists’ attempt to degrade us as a people (Cultural Marxism). Thus the Globalists, inasmuch as they are aware of our old ways – which they are (as proven by the forced Christianisation of Europe), have a severe interest in combating our ways and our gods. With this in mind, consider the following quote from the BBC article:

"Environment minister David Heath told MPs that 100,000 ash trees had already been destroyed to try to prevent the spread of the disease - this is 42,000 more than the environment secretary had previously disclosed."

So what am I suggesting here – that the ‘Ash dieback’ was somehow inflicted by our enemies as an attack on one of our central archetypes: the Ash tree? That this attack was set in motion through ‘magical’ workings perhaps?

Not necessarily, although my readers will know by now that I rarely rule anything out. Something else to consider is that, as the BBC article reports, ‘Shadow environment secretary Mary Creagh accused the government of ‘dithering’ over the summer”, asking "Why did ministers sit back, cross their fingers and wait until the disease was found in the wild in June?"’. So even if the Globalists themselves didn’t release this disease, they may well have turned a blind eye to it. Again, this will sound tin-foil crazy to most readers – that our enemies would go to such lengths, or indeed that Western governments are even our sworn enemy – but this is how my mind works, and these are the possibilities we must consider in order to repel all possible attacks.

The mere reporting of this story, which needn’t even be factual, is enough to have effect. As stated at the beginning of this article, we are looking at the world of symbolism here. A symbolic destruction of our Ash trees is almost as detrimental as an actual destruction. The Ash tree represents a deep archetype with Germanic peoples (and, I’m willing to bet, other pagan traditions) and it is this archetype which appears to have come under fire.
