MARK MIRABELLO - Odin Brotherhood

The Odin Brotherhood 43
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Because Odin, the inscrutable
one, the god who speaks in poetry, wields paternal authority in
Asgard.
AUTHOR: As “All-Father,” is Odin the creator of nature?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Nature, in its various forms,
has always existed. No god created it.
AUTHOR: So our universe has no beginning and no end?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: In the infinitude that is nature,
innumerable universes are successively produced and destroyed
by periodic convulsions. Our universe is only one of many. Like
all such universes, ours was formed from the wreckage of the
previous cosmos, and the next universe will be formed from the
ruins of our cosmos.
AUTHOR: I see. So nature goes through an almost biological
process of birth, death, and rebirth—composition,
decomposition, recomposition?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: In rough form, you have
articulated a great truth.
AUTHOR: And this process is independent of any god?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The gods did not create
nature. To the contrary, nature is a matrix that gives birth to
gods.
AUTHOR: So the gods are the products of a genesis and not
the initiators of it?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Exactly. Nature herself is the
womb of pantheons.
