Episode 278
The Pagan Religion Inside Reformed Christianity | Black Sun Session 6
This isn't Reformed. It's a prison cell. A convicted murderer rewrote the Beatitudes with Thor's hammer, ran a publishing house from federal prison, and his ideas are now circulating in Reformed Christian spaces. Black Sun Session 6.
In this episode, Will Spencer covers Chapter 13 of Black Sun by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke — Nordic Racial Paganism — and traces the direct line from white supremacist ideology into the modern Reformed world.
Three figures anchor the chapter. Wyatt Kaldenberg, who called Christianity the theology of self-hatred and said the Holocaust should be celebrated, not denied. Jost Turner, a Vietnam vet who built a National Socialist commune in Northern California where he practiced swastika-posture yoga directed by a supposedly immortal Himalayan guru toward white racial evolution. And David Lane — convicted murderer, author of the 14 words, who died in prison serving 190 years and whose 14 Word Press published the first English edition of Miguel Serrano's esoteric Hitlerist theology.
Will documents how the number 1183 — modeled on Lane's 1488 — appeared on Christmas ornaments alongside Stephen Wolfe's book cover, produced by Ethan Holden of the Jolly Brawler. He addresses the silence of Reformed pastors and influencers who have never asked why these men feel at home in their orbit. And he walks through Carl Jung's 1960 warning that the weakness of orthodox Christianity creates the conditions for the pagan Wotan archetype to erupt again.
