A typical American being shit at paganism
Since it was founded as an offshore lunatic asylum for religious fanatics that grew into a very large farm, America has constantly failed upwards.
Now it is making the final leap towards hitting the target with its arse by getting "paganism" totally wrong with the release of "Myth to Power" (2026), a book by two men, Mark Brahmin and Richard Spencer, who appear to be in a deeply romantic "Apollonian" relationship.
The book presents their theory of "Racial Esoteric Moralization" (REM). Coincidentally this was also the name of a rather shit band in the 1980s who had a hit song called "Losing My Religion." Geddit? There, that's about as esoteric as most Americans can get.
The book is co-authored or "bottomed" by Spencer (with much of the material drawn from Brahmin’s earlier essays on his Apollonian Transmission blog).
The core idea—or rather the hole in the donut—states that people imitate what they admire. Spencer seems to be increasingly admiring American fast foods.
Anyway to stay on script, myths, stories, symbols, religion, art, and entertainment establish ideals of conduct and attraction. These ideals shape mating preferences. Which explains why Brahmin and Spencer entered into a loving Apollonian relationship. (Sorry!) Anyway, according to this idea, such as it is, artists, priests, and storytellers function as "racial engineers" who consciously shape human groups through cultural means.
Well that's the theory, but it's all about to go downhill because next the book brings in the Jews (who clearly used to bully Brahmin for his lunch money in school) with something called Jewish Esoteric Moralization (JEM).
This consists of myths and symbols allegedly designed to advance the interests of Jews or a broader "proto-Jewish" priestly class, WTF! This class is portrayed as an enduring lineage of "initiates" stretching back to Sumer (and appearing among groups such as Etruscans, Spartans, the Magi, and the door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman who potentially "polluted" the Brahmin lineage sometime in the 1950s). According to the writers, this "eternal cabal" used coded symbols across religions, literature, and modern media.
JEM is then contrasted with a rival system called "Aryan Inner Moralization" (AIM), which is clearly based on gay iconography like this:
The book then focuses primarily on "decoding" JEM and laying the groundwork for AIM which is envisioned as "potentially" rather than actually sacred.
A foundational example for Brahmin-Spencer is the biblical story in Genesis 30, in which Jacob places striped branches before Laban’s mating sheep, producing speckled offspring.
The authors interpret this as an allegory of cultural control over reproduction. Yes, really! Here they are essentially invoking the misconceived and discredited Kalergi conspiracy theory, created by Eurasian hacks working for the Kremlin to manipulate low IQ Americans. This posits the notion that an "evil cabal of Jews" want to race-mix virginal White women, who are apparently stand-ins here for sheep.

Similar slipshod, Jew-slanted "interpretive methods" are applied to Greek, Celtic, Norse, Hindu, and other mythologies, as well as modern films, Marvel comics, and Hollywood films—claiming hidden racial messaging and a continuity of esoteric transmission.
The authors then argue that educated ancient elites often understood gods and myths as "inventions" or "concepts" rather than literal beings, treating religion as "social technology," usually presented with plenty of camp irony and toga wearing.
They contrast the Apollonian (ordered, solar, Aryan, anal) ideals with the Dionysian (chaotic, “proto-Jewish,” vaginal), and position Apolloism as a positive framework for "Aryan renewal."
Christianity and related traditions are lumped into the JEM-Kalergi Theory bit. The essays included or excerpted in the what the authors themselves admit is a lazily-written book address topics such as the "fossilization" of "religio-cultures" (when original esoteric meanings are lost and only outer forms remain, as allegedly seen in later Hinduism or Hollywood) and the use of pagan motifs in media.
However, the key point for the authors is to emphasise that the Jews are "behind everything" and have been running rings round the "poor whittle goyim" since the year dot.
Critics have rightly pointed out that most of the "arguments" in the book, if we can even call them that, rely upon tenuous chains of linguistic resemblance, essentially bad punning, and the cod-Freudian use of symbolism (reinforcing suspicions that Brahmin is at least part Jewish himself).
I would also draw attention to the pair's total misreading of Jewish demographic behaviour, which has "racially engineered" Jews into being one of the most racially incoherent groups in the history of the world, rather than the unmoved mover that Brahmin-Spencer posit.

This book proves one thing: Americans should stay the fuck away from paganism before they get their big, fat, stupid ass caught in it the same way Donald Trump got his big, fat, stupid ass caught in the Straits of Hormuz.
