Path of the Barbarian Spirit

When I wrote barbarian spirit, I did not fully realize what I had channeled. I was gifted a holy book, a weapon to handle a particular spiritual battle.

I thought the choice to appear to me in the form of the Norse Pantheon was an odd one. He could have come as Greek, Christian, or even Hindu religious iconography, and I would have questioned it less. Much later, I realize why this choice was made.

Northern European shamanism provides us a direct lineage to the historic use of sacramental psilocybin. The active component in "Magic Mushrooms". It is required for us to speak with our Gods, and has been for 6000 years. But that is not all it does.

The Holy Sacrament turns off, like a light switch, suicidal thought. I can personally attest to this, which is something I also did not realize until months after my first ritual . The impulse was removed so I didn't even notice its absence. It was more like it had never existed at all. Only a few months ago in 2025, did I realize that was why I was called to found this "Church". Suicidal thought is actually caused by demonic whispers, which we can exorcise.

The demon of suicide is running rampant in our society, increasing by up to 52% in certain age groups since the year 2000. It is the 2nd leading cause of death in Veterans under 45, with 140,000 Veteran suicides since 2001. You read that correctly. Double the war dead from Vietnam, or over 1/3rd our WW2 KIA. Suicide is a crafty way of decreasing our numbers and strength before the final day, while also demoralizing those that remain. This is not an analogy. One of the few cases of demonic exorcism in the Bible itself shows what? Demons cast out of a man, allowed to possess a herd of pigs, immediately forces the swine to drown themselves.

We have been provided, in its naturally occurring form, a plant that shields us from this influence. It is no wonder our current society has done everything in its power to make it difficult to acquire.

This is our gift to all, as practitioners of European Paganism. There is no need to convert to partake in our rituals. The All Father has shown me, in a vision, we are responsible for casting out this particular demon. And we can. If you are a Christian, the sacrament will speak to you in those terms. If you are an Atheist, you likely won't be afterward. Regardless, we require no pledge of fealty to try this way. Our ritual is pagan, but accommodates other faiths.

Our sacrament also has a profound effect on "operator syndrome", the second bane of the GWOT. Reconnecting with our Gods in the spirit realm gives us new found purpose. It washes away the spiritual filthy we acquired in the desert, like a refreshment of the soul. A cleansing ritual, one badly missing from current military doctrine.
