Revisiting this excellent work by Hans Gunther. A few extracts I found interesting.

IE religiosity is not rooted in fear as we do not view ourselves or our world as creations of the Gods. The world is a timeless order that will see repeated cataclysms/renewals. Within this order, both man and Gods have their place.

The IE man is not a slave to the Gods, but a friend. The relationship is one of adoration and encouragement. IE man does not shrink before the Gods nor does he neglect “this world” in favour of the “other world.” This world is all we have, and our religion is of it.

Conversion to Christianity was the result of soft-hearted men, unable to bear a merciless destiny, taking refuge in a merciful God. Gunther praises a famous description of IE religiosity by H.R. Ellis Davidson, which I am also fond of. Glory alone survives death.

World order calls for eugenic breeding in perpetuating the race and the preservation of our racial heritage. This is an assertion of Indo-European religiosity.

The significance of destiny. The Gods expect the best IE men to prove themselves in times of turmoil, to remain true and stand up squarely to face the shattering blows of their destiny.
