[#170] GHOSTS OF KYIV: “The Unbinding” and Neopagan Witchcraft in Ukraine, Part Two (Patreon)

Dimitri and Khalid dive further into the fascist neopagan theology lurking beneath the surface of “The Unbinding”

Dimitri and Khalid dive further into the fascist neopagan theology lurking beneath the surface of “The Unbinding”, including: the confusing ritual to liberate Mokosh from Brother Bitum’s religulous curse, Greg Newkirk’s statement about cutting footage of the “far-right…patriarchal, monotheistic“ RUNVira Temple of Oriyana out of the film, the contradictions of telling a pro-woman, pro-witchcraft, pro-compassion story about fascist ethnopaganism, the confused trauma response trend of lapsed American evangelicals embracing “blehhh I’m BAD, hail Satan” rhetoric to own the flagrantly satanic Christian chuds, European Nazi neopagan mercenaries flocking to Croatia in the early ‘90s, Lev Sylenko’s “Maha Vira”, RUNVira’s founding in Chicago and spread to Ukraine in 1991, using neopaganism as a “geopolitical weapon” for the 21st century, Zbigniew Brzezinski’s bizarrely religious 1995 article “A Plan For Europe”, “Les maîtres fous” and the Hauka spirit possession cult in Niger, the materiality of people doing sacrifice rituals to gain worldly power, and how the projections of secular anthropologists tend to distort their interpretations of “supernatural” phenomena and religious rituals.
