Zeus | Ζεύς — Zeus Patēr, from Proto-Indo-European *Dyeus ph2tēr.
Zeus' name is derived in the intermediary from Proto-Hellenic *dzéus. It is cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀇𐀺 ("diwos").
Other cognates are found across the Indo-European family, including the Norse Týr, Latin lūpiter and the Illyrian Dei-pátrous.
Doric Greek: Deipáturos, Δειπάτυροϛ

The above post provides excellent linguistic information especially regarding the Proto-Hellenic, Mycenaean, and Doric cases. I believe that, with regard to Týr, the term “cognate” is purposely being used in a broad sense in order to give an idea of all the names that ultimately share a common origin with Zeus. It’s important for us to clarify, though, that Norse Týr is probably more of an indirect cognate of Zeus and *Dyḗws, and seems to directly derive from the term for “god” ( *deywós, *deiwo-, cognate of deus) rather than from the term for “sky” as in “Father Sky” (*Dyḗws Ph₂tḗr).
Ultimately, the term for “god” and the term for “sky” do likely go back to a shared original word in the distant Proto-Indo-European past, but long ago came to mean different things and to be attached to different deities as the terms split off. What this means is that a link between Týr and Zeus, both linguistically and mythologically, is far weaker than it might seem, and we shouldn’t equate the name of Týr directly with that of Zeus.
Have a look at our “The Case for Týr = Mitra: Part 1” for a detailed discussion of this issue.

Divine Lineage in Mythology

In this article I show how we are related to the Gods and the various stories of divine lineages in Mythology from Germanic to Roman to Vedic. I explain the various stories of divine progenitors and their subsequent lineages, such as the story of Tuisto and the Ynglings. The subject is an interesting one and I hope you enjoy reading it.

Divine Lineage in Mythology
How exactly are we related to the Gods? Is it a completely spiritual matter or is it something more? Is it more tangible and even traceable through our mythology and our genes? I believe so, and this can be extrapolated from Vedic, Greek, Roman and Norse…

Part 10: The Welsh Horse Twin(s) and the Grail
We dive deeper into the Welsh mythology to show how the Horse Twin god Pryderi developed into the grail quester Peredur and then into Perceval.
“Clearly, there is a well-established case for the continuity of the figures Pryderi, Peredurus, Peredur, and Perceval, and hence a strong foundation for a case that the original grail quester was based on the Horse Twin god.”

Part 11: The Grail King. Welsh Myth and the Story of the Grail
Who is the Grail King, really? And why are there two? In this part we uncover specific scenes in the Welsh myths that are as ancient as any we’ve seen.
“The detail of the virginity-preserving Gandharva staff, in particular, makes it seem that the episode between Pwyll and Arawn, rather than being a late malformation of the Lunar Cycle, appearing in a relatively late manuscript (12th-14th Century) as it does, actually has claim to the preservation of some of the most archaic details of all the versions we have examined.”

''Old Slavs lived in villages, sometimes quite large, inhabited by whole tribal groups; hence such villages were often given names that end in ići, -ovići, -ovci. The economic unit was the patriarchal large family or large family community, which was called house (kuća) or a cooperative unit (zadruga) amongst the Southern Slavs. This is how Engels characterizes this Slavic family community: "... the patriarchal home community, as we still find it today with Serbs and Bulgarians under the name of a cooperative unit (zadruga) or fraternity (bratstvo) ... constituted a transitional stage between the matriarchal family and the individual family of the modern world.

The South Slavic cooperative unit provides the best living example of such a family community. It encompasses several generations, descendants of one father, with their wives, all living together in one court, cultivating their fields together, feeding and dressing of the common stock and sharing the excess of income. The cooperative unit is under the supreme authority of the host, who represents it outside ... He is selected and by no means the oldest. " Old Slavic settlements consisted of such large family communities. This is also evidenced by the statement of Pseudo-Mauritius that in the ancient settlements, some semi-underground dwellings are connected by secret corridors, thus representing the whole complexes of rooms united by a common household. Large family communities united into tribes, with tribal leaders (filars, as the Byzantine writers call them) at the head. But the power of these leaders was not great, the national assemblies (councils) were of great importance. The first embryos of slavery were still patriarchal. Pseudo-Mauritius thus characterizes slavery in the old Slavs. »They do not keep their captives in captivity indefinitely, like other nations, but, by limiting their time, leave them to choose: either they want to return to their homeland with some ransom, or to remain where they are in the position of free men and friends «.The patriarchy of the lives of Slavs and Ants is evidenced by the hospitality, which is widely developed in them. »They are kind and kind to the guests, and follow them from place to place, where they are needed, so that if the carelessness of a host causes the guest to suffer any harm, his neighbor, who handed him the guest, will quarrel against him. considering the guest's revenge for a holy duty.

Part 12: Conclusion: The Grail Question
All the pieces now come together. The Grail question is the question of identity and leads to the healing of the forgotten or wounded rite. Only the healed rite can bring life to the wasteland and to the wounded king.
“This process of the recognition of one's identity and inborn role within the whole is Nietzsche's "become who you are," and relies on the question that each of us must first recognize, and then ask, before understanding our own role and destiny.”

Many of us see the value in ancient languages. Whether it be Old Norse, Classical Latin, Ancient Greek, Old English, or one of the other ancient languages, they have incredible value for reading our sacred texts in their original languages, and also we can aide the support of a core element of our culture, our languages. Keep all our various languages alive from Russia to Ireland.
The vast majority of us want to (or already) have children. Now, how can we combine these things? We can learn ourselves and teach our children one or many of these sacred languages. I’ve been told a great approach is a simple ‘one parent per language’ approach, where one parent speaks language A to the child, and the other speaks language B. This creates a non-confusing way for the child to learn both simultaneously, and they won’t give either up as they need both to speak to their parents.
Start learning a new language today, or if you already speak two (or more) languages - and have infant(s), teach them both. Children are all talented language-learners, do not miss this opportunity!

Lepontic Script
Language and alphabets associated with the Cisalpine (modern day southern Switzerland/northern Italy) La Tène culture (~500-100 B.C.). Inscriptions are found mainly centered around the Swiss city of Lugano.
While there is some debate, it is generally regarded to be a Celtic language and script. Only about 140 inscriptions are known at this time, which limits the ability of researchers to decipher this language.
Of note to researchers is the similarity of many of the Lepontic characters to the later Germanic Elder Futhark runes. In addition, Lepontic may be an adaptation from Rhaetic, a pre-Indo-European lagnguage extending from western Austria to eastern Switzerland.

Rosa camuna
A relatively common petroglyph found in the Val Camonica region of northern Italy, often (but not always) found stylized as a Swastika.
The exact dating of this symbol is difficult to determine, as the region is rich in petroglyphs dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, however the symbol is often associated with the Iron Age, and thus, the Camunni people.
Although these people are mentioned in the Greek annals, their origin is unknown. There are some surviving inscriptions but the corpus is insufficient to class these people as Old European or Indo-European speakers. Nevertheless, the Swastika-like nature of this symbol commonly used by these people tells us much of the very ancient origin of the Swastika and its various permutations, and how this relates to the various tribes of north Eurasia.

Rosa camuna continued
The Rosa camuna, while commonly associated with the Val Camunica region, is not limited to there.
1.) The original Swastika Stone of West Yorkshire, UK. Its exact age is unknown, possibly Neolithic but most likely Iron Age construction
2.) Guifões Stone of Portugal. Some researchers believe this was imported from Val Camunica, although this is based solely on its similarity, and could have been made de novo.
3.) Celtic (Gaulish) coin found in northern France, circa 1st century B.C.
There is also a number of examples of this swastika found in churches in England, including the so-called Woden’s swastika in the Sutton church in Bedforshire. In addition, an example of this symbol found among the Bohuslän rock carvings of Sweden, although an original image can not be found at this time. But this would link this symbol to the Nordic Bronze Age civilization.

37. Arvak and Alsvith | up shall drag
Weary the weight of the sun;
But an iron cool | have the kindly gods
Of yore set under their yokes.
Gylfaginning XI (Prose Edda)
But the gods were incensed at that insolence, and took the brother and sister, and set them up in the heavens; they caused Sun to drive those horses that drew the chariot of the sun, which the gods had fashioned, for the world's illumination, from that glowing stuff which flew out of Múspellheim.

What we see here is a continuity of cosmology of almost 3,000 years. The Poetic Edda contains Divine and ancient wisdom and should be treated with intense study.
