Sorry, I meant

A1) in runic occultism, there's (yet! Growth mindset!) only 4 kinds of people: Flowers; people who lean on Flowers; Germans who only lean on List (whom I haven't read); people who suck (Blum goes here).

A2) that if you read Webb and developed the appreciation I think you might/should, you might no longer regard a Temple of Set affiliation as suspicious (I'm ready to apologize if we find I merely projected my thinking, and I do think adding salt to Webb's writing *can* be useful at times). It is true that you might understand Flowers and Kelly better if you read Webb (or Michael Aquino) than otherwise, but it's not needed if you only want to understand their runes/ogham works.

I'd forgotten to say - I do believe Germanic religion is pretty "LHP" (in a Western and non-stupid sense) as it is:

B1) while they obviously didn't think the jötunn element was better/should be in control, the Sigurdhr-Fáfnir myth already wasn't exactly subtle, and why do the "Aesir" (sometimes up to 7/8-jötunn, IIRC) have so much sex with jötnar (with cases even of female Ás/male jötunn IIRC)?

B2) in Germanic religion, Prometheus/the serpent (a.k.a. the guy who taught us what in other myths we wouldn't be supposed to know) is ... the actual leader! (I should say I have a great appreciation for Týr's mythology as well.) Which is one reason I'd have never given Satanism half a thought even when I was most anti-Christian, and not even had I believed in spirits back then - because I'd know a much better choice.

B3) which linguistic group invented the current Western LHP (with meaningful German and Scandinavian participations)?
