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.Purchase Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeAmazon - https://a.co/d/06mG32IXTOPICS COVEREDWhy every successor to Hitler rejected ChristianityKaldenberg, Turner, and Lane: three faces of Nordic racial paganismDavid Lane's 14 Word Press and the Serrano connectionWotan as a substitute Yahweh — father god without the crossBiblical Christianity vs. the Übermensch mind1488 to 1183: from white supremacists to Reformed ChristiansThe Holden brothers, Stephen Wolfe, and Pastor Brian SauvéCarl Jung's 1960 warning about the Wotan archetypeWarrant for Genocide announcement and next book clubNazi Ecology and the paganization of GermanyVolkishness in Reformed circlesFrancis Parker Yockey and culture distortion theorySteve McNallen and the Asatru Free Assembly fractureDavid Lane's biography, the 14 words, and the rewritten BeatitudesJoel Webbon and the 14 words in the Reformed worldJung's Wotan essay and the eruption of the archetypeThe volkisch problem: why you can't scrape off the paganismBOOKS MENTIONEDBlack Sun — Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeWarrant for Genocide — Norman CohnThe Plot — Will EisnerA Rumor About the Jews — Stephen Eric BronnerAntisemite and Jew — Jean-Paul SartreIn Search of Anti-Semitism — William F.
