Proto-Indo-European Puberty Rites

Recommended Posts

So in a thread that was closed (thanks phringies!), we were discussing puberty/maturation (call it what it is — pederasty) rites amongst Greeks as a survival of older cultural practices, perhaps as an inheritance of older norms. 

Piney specifically mentioned the Wolf cult of the PIE cultures and the Berserkers of Nordic cultures as possible parallels. 

More recently, I was surprised to find out the names of Hengist and Horsa — the traditional leaders of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who “invaded” Britain in the fifth century CE — translate literally as “Horse-Rider” and “Stallion.” Oddly suggestive words in this context, but PIE kingship rites were known to include ritual copulation with horses. 

I wanted to start a thread where we could theorize a possible history of these cultural practices and their development. 

I realize this might be a slightly taboo subject, but I think there is material here for serious historical investigation (I can provide some links for published evidence and peer-reviewed theory), and figured this forum might be used for something other than lube for onanistic Atlantidiots.

The Horse Twins probably have PIE origins.

I wondered about twins being suckled by a wolf having PIE origins because one of the Turkic-Iranian clans of the Gokturks had a similar legend about a Eastern Iranian prince being suckled by a she wolf than adopted by one of the Turkic forest tribes. 

@Orphalesion  We have a thread!!! :yes:

So the search for the truth of the Atlantis legend is to be replaced with ancient legends of beastiality around the evil cabal camp fire ?

Spartan Agoge structure. It probably originated with the possible PIE practice of living like feral dogs or wolves which wandered the fringes of the nomad camp

Really Piney? The ancient Greeks had the wolf and Lycanthropy as part of the culture and religion. Let’s not read too much into it, eh?

@kmt_sesh buddy time you looked at this thread and canned it, least one of the cabal goes out tonight and does some historical “research” on some poor defenceless animal.

You pretend to be a defender of those abused by “the cabal”, but you’re really just a nasty piece of work aren’t you Risky?

Not to mention trying to rewrite the mythical history of Rome's beginning, Talk about a bunch of cabal hypocrisy designating others as hypocrites.

And what about the biggest hypocrite of them all? Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the more hypocrite of the cabal?  Hard to tell, too dark to see with all the black smoke they blow.

Family site, eh? That one is really a joke, always beating around his own bush, and that's why he is always thinking of selfies. Self gratification is his essence, in all respects!

Thread is useless without the needle......and the finger should be protected by a thimble when needling. Take your pick.

This gets a golden pot kettle award. Rewriting Plato to start your own doomsday cult.

Here's a little something to fuel your homophobia and hatred.

So much reading material :D

As I said in the other thread, everybody knows that the Ancient Greeks, and the Spartans most of all, had an unfortunate penchant for pederasty, but I always thought that it was a Greece-specific development arising from their obsession with youth and the male form, not of PIE origins. I never suspected that the Spartan Warrior Class might have preserved a way of life that originated from a PIE wolf cult.

The Devine Twins are a very interesting topic, and as Piney noted, they seem to be of PIE origin, since they have heaps of cognates. The Dioscury in Ancient Greece, for example, with each of them taking the other's place in the Underworld for half a year.

And if we are on the topic of horse-names again, well, as I wrote in the Merseburg Charms Baldr is called "Phol" (Foal) and one of the theories it seems is that he was half of a pair of divine twins (like actual theories, not the slash-fanfiction of some self-proclaimed witch :-P )

Quite a few scholars believe that Leviticus’ warnings against “men lying down with men like they do women” is an attempt to “De-Helenise” Jewish culture.

As a native Brit, then yes its true.

In order to bond the horse to the warrior then the warrior would have sex with the horse. I haven't heard anywhere though that it was a rite of passage into adulthood.

I can not see this as natural. But it can have a mythological story to tell. I wounder.

It was actually a Celtic kingship ceremony where the appointed leader had to "mate" with a white horse but I think it was more figurative than literal.
