As we Europeans ought to know, Easter is a Pagan festival, here in the North specifically associated with the fertility Goddess Ostara, or Eostre, after whom Easter is named. Indeed, it has nothing to do with the first deconstructivist theorist Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew whose life story was altered to fit with European Pagan religiosity. In the spirit of the true festival of Easter, I offer this little poem I have composed. I hope it will lift your hearts.
I was back with the Erkenbrand team for a podcast about the importance of poetry, hosted by Mr H, with whom I did the excellent Erkenbrand series on classical music. Joining us was Holly Hazeltree, whose fledgeling Youtube channel and blog are already very informative, even if she is more sympathetic to Christianity than I am. Please consider subscribing to her channel to give her some encouragement. There are, after all, very few allegedly nationalist channels with anything approaching a high level of content, most tending to be style over substance. Erkenbrand's channel tends to have both, with excellent production and content, so that's another one to subscribe to, and you might even like to subscribe to my own.... This podcast concentrates on European poetry, its history and its relevance and function for a people. Erkenbrand will also be producing Dutch language shows on specific poets.
