The conformity of civilised Western Man is the biggest barrier to true achievement in this modern age. Courage has all but vanished, and the ordinary man in the street does, in most cases, worry more about how he might be perceived if he worked on impulse than about the intended act or verbalisation itself.
Further to the above, that tiny percentage of the population who do display the courage to rebel against conformity soon begin to wonder whether their kinsmen are worth saving, or if perhaps they should not merely look after their own families and leave the masses to their fate.
In the seminal 'The Lord of the Rings', the Wood Elves displayed the desire to leave Middle Earth to its fate and retreat further into the West. In this context, the Wood Elves could be considered as the fictional physical manifestation of the consciousness of Western Man, ie: the enlightened, naturalistically-thinking and survival-orientated aspect of the mind.
Presently in Britain, many families are fleeing this land for pastures new. They are displaying an innate comprehension of the danger we face, and in leaving their homeland they are consigning their brothers to their fate. Of course, a Nation can exist without a homeland, as the Jewish race has shown for millennia, yet one might consider the children of Albion to be somewhat more attached to the green fields, sparkling rivers and snow-clad mountain peaks than a traditionally desert dwelling people might be expected to put dry, dusty soil before or on par with blood.
Yet, as seen in 'The Lord of the Rings', the Wood Elves do not leave the Men of the West to face almost certain annihilation. And here we see the deeper meaning, for in the soul of all men there burns a primal ember; cooled and pacified by the passing of time and the lack of need in this age of comfort, yet ready to burst into flame when the situation demands it. The Wood Elves represent our innermost survival instincts - our refinement, our culture, our Higher Selves. In this scenario, time can be portrayed as the Ice Rune 'Isa', whilst the passion which comes from immediate need as the Fire Rune 'Nauthiz'. The primal forces of Fire and Ice are deep rooted in Western mythology, and are the core beginnings of life itself. The two runes also represent balance.
The antithesis of the Wood Elves is Grima Wormtongue. This character from 'LOTR' represents the so-called 'power behind the throne' and also reminds us of our modern day mass media. In the movie, Wormtongue whispers into the King's ear, and in our own daily lives we feel Grima's presence as 'he' subtly weaves his lies around us and moulds our thoughts in ways many fail to understand. The mythological representation of Grima might be Loki, the god of mischief.
We have been tricked by Loki into conforming to a system which will see us perish.
The most sorrowful truth is that the majority of British folk do not even believe the words that come out of their own mouths, yet they are too afraid of what others will think to say what they actually feel.
If 99% conform, how many do so whilst disagreeing with their own actions?
It is left to the tiny few - children of Albion with boundless energy, dedication and a willingness to learn - to awaken their kinsfolk not so much to the reality of the world around them but to the fact that what they say and what they believe are two different things. The barriers of conformity must be smashed and the notion of an enlightened new wave of Albion's children must become a reality, for the title 'children of Albion' should not be used as a phrase to describe all people of Britain but reserved only for those who show the potential and active dedication to further themselves and their folk. In short, the task is to evolve and earn the accolade of a true 'folk champion'.
We have entered a 'do or die' age. The time for conformity is dead; the time for psychological rebellion has arrived.
Outside you are a clean, tidy, well dressed, modern human being. Inside you are a barbarian. This is a Primal Truth. Nature dictates what you are, not the media, not your school teacher, not your boss at work and not your local MP. Outside you are passive and uncaring. Inside adrenaline courses through your veins and fear, anger, passion and love is what drives you. The battle between what you think you should be and who you really are will drive you insane unless you finally realise the truth.
Some have made the step towards enlightenment. Some have become in control of themselves. But only some.
The Strider mission is to re-awaken those with potential.
You now have to ask yourself:
- Am I prepared to learn?
- Am I prepared to challenge myself?
- Am I prepared to evolve?
Questions have been asked of you. Are you prepared to answer your calling?

The children of Albion will only begin to visualise their true potential when a synthesis between Science and Nature is attained. While mainstream scientists only deal with that which can be proven in black and white, and while the naturalists keep their thoughts and passions to themselves, content in their own little world, our people will stagnate.
Yet there is a form of scientific study which breaks away from mainstream constraints and has, over the years, begun to show us a glimpse of a world which our Myths and Legends have foretold. Remember that the word 'Myth' means 'Primal Truth', and remember too that our ancestors were not ignorant people - as we are so often asked to believe by those who would wish we had no mythology to draw any inspiration from at all.
Our mythology speaks of the Cosmos, of Life and Death, of Fire and Ice, of Gods and Goddesses and of Revolution and Re-Birth. We are taught from an early age of our five human senses, and people with certificates and letters after their name attempt to mould our young conscious minds into something which might ensure our ruling elite get an easy ride as they go about their business. Yet we have all experienced feelings which go beyond our five senses; feelings of being watched, feelings of premonition and synchronicity, and also of knowing things we have no possible way of knowing, if mainstream science is to be believed.
Consider the notion of instantaneous communication between like-minds. Twins have often stated they know each other's thoughts, yet there is no mainstream explanation… although deep in our hearts we believe it can and does happen. The 'Maverick Science', or Quantum Physics as it is more popularly known, holds the answer to one of Nature's riddles. A riddle that we know in our hearts is not a riddle at all, but being so wired in to the modern ways of thinking, we nevertheless require it to be proven.
Quantum Physics is the study of sub-atomic particles, ie: particles smaller than atoms. The highly unstable atom called a 'positronium' comprises an electron and a positron (which is a positively charged electron). Being polar opposites, these two sub-atomic particles destroy each other and in the process fire off two quanta of pure light, or 'photons'.
These photons explode away from each other in opposite directions, and being light particles they thus travel away from each other at the speed of light.
Yet no matter at what point they are measured, at any point in time, these two photons will always have the exact same angle of polarisation ( the term 'angle of polarisation' refers to the orientation of the emitted wave form).
Given that nothing can travel faster than light, and given that these two photons are travelling away from each other at a total of two times the speed of light, and given that they are nevertheless in constant communication with each other regarding their angle of polarisation, one can only assume that the photons are communicating in a manner we do not know about.
In Paganism, and in Nature, there is the notion of communication which transcends ordinary scientific explanation, yet is to some degree explained by Quantum Physics. Or at least experiments such as the one above show us this in action, even if it is not completely understood. Yet as any ornithologist (bird watcher) will tell you, birds such as starlings exhibit what is known as the 'group mind' where communication over space is instantaneous.
Yet no matter at what point they are measured, at any point in time, these two photons will always have the exact same angle of polarisation ( the term 'angle of polarisation' refers to the orientation of the emitted wave form).
If we are to progress with the strength and positivity of our ancestors, with a shining life force and an awakened spirit, we must smash the mental blockades which have gradually bound us and held us prisoner for many decades.
Nature holds the information we all desire, and coupled with a form of science which knows no bounds, we shall certainly re-awaken as a folk group and send the truly ignorant amongst us running back into the shadow realm from whence they came.
Smash through your mental constraints - begin the re-awakening!

The Peak Oil crisis is in effect. Cost of food and fuel is rising. Overpopulation means we must rely on other nations to grow produce for us. We look to our political masters and see nothing but incompetence… in fact we see nothing but deliberate incompetence.
How long before we make our own path?
The much talked about issue of Peak Oil will almost certainly mean that farming on a large scale becomes much more expensive, and transporting food over long distances will be either impossible or not cost effective. In fact, as any kind of oil fuelled transportation will likely become a luxury of a bygone age in the not too distant future, we will be faced with the prospect of 'Community Devolution', where our people (and in fact the people of the world) shall begin to live as we once did; in small, autonomous groups with a tribal hierarchy rather than a mainstream political one.
All across Britain there are farm shops and farmer's markets. More and more are springing to life as people crave locally produced, and in many cases organic, food. But still the average citizen treats this concept as a luxury or, in the case of the modern Marxist, as a fashion statement rather than a revolutionary ideal.
Food is an absolute necessity for life. In his recent book, 'Oil Apocalypse', Vernon Coleman predicts that five billion people will die as a result of the reduction in productivity of farming, amongst other factors. Presently, however, many Britons are naïve in regards to the food they eat. Indeed, an astonishing number of children have little comprehension of things that grow.
In the mid 1970's, a sit-com created by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey woke the nation up to idea of self-sufficiency. Even today, 'The Good Life' brings a smile to faces young and old. Characters Tom and Barbara used all their ingenuity to feed and clothe themselves, much to the horror and amusement of neighbours Jerry and Margot - fictional slaves of the State machine.
But fiction aside, there is a very real need for a greater degree of self sufficiency in our lives. A plan must rapidly be formed by the children of Albion if they wish to survive.
And make no mistake; this plan must be formed by you, right now, dear reader.
The British State will not provide for you and your family when the chips are down… and neither will the European Union. You must act immediately if you wish to survive.
Whilst agricultural land prices have shot up over recent years, an acre can be purchased for around £5,000. Expensive, yes, and a single acre will not feed an entire family, but one acre of land owned by an environmentally aware nationalist is one acre where the soil remains free to breathe the free air rather than under many tonnes of concrete.
Speak to family members, however, and a conglomerate could be the best way ahead. By beginning the devolution now, a head start can be made which may very well see your loved ones have a chance for survival.

Strider Issue 29 - 18th July 2008
Talk to many common sense Britons on the subject of re-introducing the death penalty for the most serious of crimes and one comes away with the general impression that if the issue was ever formally voted upon, we would see this punishment come back into force.
Of course, in most cases when individuals are asked they will not at first come out with a direct response to the question, but instead make a short series of demands; their intention being to ensure that only the most evil of offenders receive the most serious punishment. Then, after the original question is clarified, an answer is given.
The children of Albion are traditionally slow to anger. The upsides to this personality generally outweigh the downsides, for a society filled with volatile people is never a pleasant place to reside. Around the world, there are many places where the indigenous stock exhibit traits which Westerners find hard to understand - one minute there is hospitality, then next a massacre. But nevertheless, when dealing with extreme scenarios, sometimes a mild mannered response is entirely the wrong option.
In past ages, our ancestors had the ability to weigh up a situation and respond accordingly using common sense as a guide. If the situation demanded action, appropriate action was thus taken. Nowadays, however, with the ever increasing pressure placed upon us to be 'civilised' and 'politically correct', our thought process has become somewhat distorted.
We are so afraid of deciding incorrectly on all manner of issues, we err so far on the side of caution we are in danger of stagnation and self-genocide.
How about if the question regarding re-introducing the death penalty was put across in a different manner:
- Your twelve year old daughter fails to return home from school one evening. By chance a fellow pupil has seen her with the man from number eighty-two. You arrive at his address to hear screams. You enter the premises and find your daughter being sexually assaulted. You witness the horror first-hand. Should the death penalty apply here?
This kind of crime happens, indeed Strider has not even touched upon the perversions prevalent in paedophile circles, yet the death penalty is not available as a lawful punishment. There is regular pre-meditation involved; children are kidnapped to order; paedophilia exists amongst all classes of society.
And still the law does not allow us to give these evil men and women the punishment they truly deserve.
Anyone can read the stories in newspapers and watch the news on television, and it does not take a genius to relate a smattering of shocking incidents to friends and family, and then come up with the famous line:
"Something must be done!"
But Strider deals with more than relentless tales of woe. Understanding and Solutions are the two things missing from today's media-fed society. The media make money from shocking headlines, yet openly criticise those who seek solutions for dealing in 'the politics of fear'.
If paedophilia is considered alongside the lack of suitable punishment for this most heinous of crimes, one can then transgress the headlines and begin to form a logical conclusion as to why we live in an age where the people want one thing but our ruling elite want something else.
Strider's theory is startling!
As ultimate power is gradually attained by our devious and shadowy ruling elite, they become more and more egotistical and greedy. The more power they get, the more power they crave. Yet at some point, the power and wealth begins to reach its peak, and just like a long term drug addict, the 'high' does not satisfy the 'user' like it used to. New ways must be found to re-create their sense of perverted euphoria, and the most horrendous truth is that the mentally ill, sick and twisted perverts who crave nothing but personal satisfaction reach their orgasmic crescendo by defiling innocent children.
- The death penalty for predatory paedophiles is not law because the powers that be do not see it as a crime.
- Convicted paedophiles are released to re-offend because the powers that be do not see it as a crime.
- Some young children will fall into the hands of paedophile rings because the powers that be do not see it as a crime.
The children of Albion must re-acquaint themselves with the realities of Faith, Folk and Family. Ancient fires must be re-kindled, and a new era must dawn where true common sense becomes the order of the day. No longer will we be ruled by perverts and traitors.
Welcome to the New Dawn.

Strider Issue 28 - 11th July 2008
The people of these islands possess an up-reaching spirit. In the fields of sport, science, literature, art and adventure the people popularly called 'The British' have frequently set sail into uncharted waters and brought back untold riches, both materially, intellectually and artistically.
United under the Red, White and Blue, modern British patriots stand straight-backed as they remember wondrous tales of the Empire.
But that age is gone, and the great achievements of Empirical Globalism have made way for a new age of Communistic Globalism, where all peoples must become uniform consumers if they wish to escape the wrath of an unscrupulous band of dictators who use the notion of equality to command the masses.
The agenda is led on the streets, in the schools and in the workplace by mentally diseased neo-liberals while the Globalist plans of our ruling Elite move steadily towards a frightening conclusion as Political Correctness subdues the media-fed population.
But deep in their hearts, the children of Albion realise that whilst their love of the land is constant, there are small cultural differences between even them. Differences which our ruling Elite use against us when they wish, and ignore when it suits.
One week the English and the Welsh are being played off against each other in the mass media for these small cultural differences, and the next week we are told 'all men are equal'… an infernal lie which we comprehend in our hearts but overtly accept for fear of State persecution.
The ethos of divide and conquer is understood by our Masters.
And while the English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh are busy squabbling, (yet at the same time struggling with the equality myth), the Globalist Elite are poisoning more minds with the disease of neo-liberalism.
To and fro we are taken; tossed upon the waves of pride and guilt until we do not know what to believe and are useless to act against the madness which attacks us at every turn. And as Men of the West, we are slowly losing our once vigorous spirit. My friends; we are dying.
To resist the aims of the Globalist, Strider suggests a controversial response:
Cast off the burden imposed upon you and embrace your Nationality!
Britain is a State, created by Globalist Statesmen. The children of Albion are English, Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Scottish, and must find their subdued ancestral fire in these ancient National roots if we are to fight the Globalist, (overtly Communist), curse which is with us for no other reason than the fact that we have let it take hold.
Those that honour the Red, White and Blue may feel a little uneasy at Strider's suggestion, but consider this:
How would a Globalist feel if confronted by a sea of unique banners, proudly raised aloft by many legions of people who nevertheless stood together as one in the face of adversity?
Nationalism must mean Nationalism - not State-ism nor any other perverse concoction of Civic Nationalism or liberal Patriotism.
We, the united children of Albion, honour our brothers and sisters whom we share these islands with. We stand side by side in times of great hardship. We recognise our differences. We oppose a common enemy. But we must again feel our individual Nationalities burning with unbridled passion deep within our souls, and from this we shall gain our strength.
- In Red we must see the blood of our ancestors
- In White we must see ourselves
- In Blue we must see the mighty sea which surrounds us
Recognise now that the Union is not how it should be; it is a weapon our Globalist Masters have used for the purpose of the destruction of our individuality.
Our mindset regarding the Union must change; we must devolve into our ethnic identities, yet retain and indeed renew the shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity which our corrupt Ruling Elite fears most.
The difference between State and Nation must be understood, and the words 'British Nationalist' must be understood to mean the working relationship between switched on English, Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Scottish Nationalists in the face of a new destructive Globalist Empire.

Strider Issue 27 - 4th July 2008
Take a walk through a city - any city. Stand in the centre of this city and look around. You will see hard concrete and tarmac stretching away as far as the eye can see. Up and up reach the imposing straight-edged tower blocks. And the roads, chock full of gas-guzzling motor vehicles, cover the earth in lines of black.
The Strider philosophy is to always keep the head held high, with vision fixed firmly on the stars, yet for once let us change our approach and cast our eyes down to the ground.
Stop rushing through the city for a moment and find a section of the ground which has not been recently laid. Look closely at the minute cracks and look closely at where the walls join the pavement.
What do you see?
As people rush by, you stand still and observe - rebelling against the rat race which seeks to intoxicate your mind from the day you enter the workplace until the day that same workplace spits you out as a mental and physical wreck.
The people rush by, but you stand still, amazed at what you've seen in this smog infested concrete jungle. Down on the pavement, creeping its way through inches of hardcore and tar, there is a little blade of grass. In fact, as you become more aware, you see this amazing phenomenon everywhere. Tiny thin blades of grass poking their way through solid, un-natural, man-made material.
Of course, you know full well that in essence all materials are natural, for they all come from the earth, yet you also know that without man's direct influence the pavement you stand upon would not exist. And nor would the city you work in.
What exactly is happening?
Nature's greatest goal is to destroy and take back all which it deems un-natural. On a visible, material level, this takes place everywhere. In every town and in every city Mother Nature's soldiers are constantly pushing in and invading, like white blood cells attacking a tumour. Creeping ivy would bring down a house, given time, and the roots of trees would push up the roads. It is only man which keeps the greenery at bay in the world of civilised modernity. Yet in this analogy, is not 'civilised modernity' a form of psychological cancer? If the green living things wish to destroy man's creations, who is to say that Nature is wrong? How can she be wrong?
But the physical plane is not the only way in which Nature works…
Ideologies fall into two categories. These are:
- 1. Natural Ideologies
- 2. Un-Natural Ideologies
Fact
The greatest example of an un-natural ideology is Communism.
Fact
The greatest example of a natural ideology is Nationalism.
Nationalism is the product of the inner-self. It is organic. It is folkish. When all conscious thought is stripped away, mankind acts in a Nationalistic manner. During the age of universal barbarianism, all people acted in such a way - this was Nature at work, and was, therefore, correct in every way.
And just as the tiny blades of green grass seek to slowly consume the city, the inner folk flame of the children of Albion seeks to banish all un-natural concepts and ideologies from our minds.
The knee jerk act of revulsion we feel at Communist-inspired Political Correctness is our inner folk flame at work; it is fighting back at an un-natural ideology. The feeling of harmony we feel when walking through the woods or alongside a stream is exactly how we would feel every waking hour if Communism wasn't invading our lives at almost every moment.
Communism will bring us down - Nationalism will inspire us.
Strider's Nationalist vision for the future comprises a radical synthesis between science and nature. Imagine working in a city where transport was via eco-friendly monorail which took you directly to your place of work. Where the architecture was in balance with our natural way of thinking, and where trees grew throughout the city, fed by crystal clear waterways and tended by well paid, dedicated environmentalists. Visualise the inner-city schools, designed around a central patch of green land where crops were grown by students and birds flocked in abundance. Lessons on English, Mathematics and Science were interspersed with regular physical activity and naturalistic education permeated every facet of the curriculum.
Imagine a Nation where all men could find their niche and become productive members of their community. From scientists to environmentalists, from teachers to engineers, from construction workers to spiritual leaders and everything in between, all the children of Albion would come together and push towards a wondrous new vision.
Depression and drug-fuelled escapism would cease to be the norm, and destructive ideological influence would be eradicated forever.
We have sent men to the bottom of the deepest oceans. We have sent men beyond our world and into space. With focus, we can achieve anything our minds can imagine. Set your imagination free.
Our Natural Path Way is Nationalism
Nationalists are Environmentalists
Visualise Achievement

Strider Issue 26 - 27th June 2008
Issue Twenty-Four revolved around negativity, and concluded with the question of the meaning of life. The answer was given as 'Evolution or Death' in that unless we progress according to the Laws of Nature, we will die. This logic applies to all living things and not just humans. Nevertheless, as children of Albion and Men of the West, we are trapped in the dangerous habit of regression whilst believing we can survive by conjuring up faint memories of past glory.
The purpose of the Strider column is to raise ambition and achievement.
Yet here we stumble across a problem, for ambition and achievement are still a part of Western society; it's just that so many are looking towards and attaining the wrong things. In fact much achievement is actually counter productive.
There are many intelligent people in this world, and there are many more with diplomas, degrees and years of study under their belts. Sometimes the knowledge gained is useful or essential; sometimes not. But for all those with higher qualifications, there are many thousands more who have none. And all too often these so-called 'uneducated' types feel as if they cannot compete with the boffins, the scientists, the politicians, the teachers, the doctors and so forth.
But there is a world of difference between being dim and what our ruling elite might term as 'uneducated' or 'unqualified'.
The truth is that although one has to have a strong knowledge plus the required certification in a particular field in order to work in a professional capacity, in many cases one becomes more and more institutionalised the further one climbs up the career ladder. We have all met professional people who, while on paper they are highly intelligent, they can often lack a certain basic level of common sense, or an inability to think outside of the particular box they themselves have helped to construct and maintain.
The very reason the Natural World enchants and inspires all Men of the West, regardless of class or social background, is that Nature exhibits both a simplicity and complexity which fascinates all who take the time to observe.
Transposing the above statement into any subject matter and using it as a guide when considering all things in life is the key to maintaining a sensible, balanced existence… and is the key to banishing fear.
If one can constantly refer back to a core bedrock of Naturalistic understanding when making decisions, giving public statements or debating with an opponent, then no reader of the Strider column ever has to fear he of presumed superior intellect. The reason for this is that if the theory of personal and folk evolution and common sense (both of which are Natural concepts, the latter coming from the heart rather than the head) are applied to any scenario, the individual who embraces the Lore of the Woods will come off best every time, and so will those affected by his decisions.
If we compare the modern versions of 'ambition' and 'achievement' with its opposing eternal Naturalistic counterpart, we see some frightening results which prove themselves the minute one looks out of the office window and into the inner city streets.
Consider the following modern trends:
- Life is geared towards career, money and material possessions.
- The individual reigns supreme.
- Considerable time is taken up with meaningless activities.
- We are told things are getting better, yet the opposite is true.
- Family, children and community come last.
Now look at a Naturalistic alternative:
- Success is measured in terms of Natural and Scientific advancement.
- A spiritual tribal bond exists.
- Time is valued and not wasted.
- Focussed communities work towards evolutionary achievement.
- Children and family are revered.
In applying a certain amount of future projection regarding our modern lifestyle, we see that by placing supreme importance on the first set of bullet points, we have sleep walked part way towards the death of the West. In contrast to the most basic Naturalistic ideals, by becoming selfish, overly materialistic and career minded we have thus neglected the family unit and most worryingly of all we have ignored the creation and upbringing of children.
The creation and balanced raising of children is the most important task of all living creatures if they are to survive.
Any less than two children per couple means the children of Albion will eventually cease to exist, for when two parents die they must leave behind an equal number of offspring. But that is assuming all men and women find a suitable partner to procreate with, and as is most obvious, that will never occur due to a wide variety of reasons.
Therefore, if the children of Albion continue to scurry around, not truly serving folk and family but a system designed to milk the masses dry and spit them out as shrivelled, impotent wrecks, we shall perish within a few short generations.
Embrace positivity and denounce negativity, as clearly explained in issue Twenty-Four!
Realise the truth of Naturalistic Evolution!
Strive for things of true value!

Today (Friday) is the Summer Solstice; something which most readers will be aware of. And although the days which follow will begin to get shorter, this fact should be used as an urgent reminder to enjoy the season while it lasts rather than to become downhearted as Winter and Death approach.
No matter where you live, you can certainly find a Natural habitat to observe within a short distance from your home. Take sandwiches and a flask along with your sense of adventure and find a suitable wild place. Arrive approximately an hour or so before dusk, make yourself comfortable and wait.
Any man can purchase a book or watch a television show where experts demonstrate their superior Naturalistic knowledge, yet this knowledge has mostly come to them through a lifetime of observation rather than from the classroom. But one thing you can learn right now is that in order to gain pleasure from Nature, you must be a part of it. In becoming a part of Nature your life-force will be renewed and your soul cleansed by a powerful healing magic which has to be experienced before it is comprehended.
The physical task of becoming a part of Nature is simple, yet due to the pace and fashion of modern life accomplishing simple things such as this is easier said than done for those people who live by un-Natural rules.
Unfortunately, however, these modern ways will be the death of you.
Make your own life rules, and begin to practice them today. Start by thinking of a place to visit near your home; a quiet place where you can escape from people for a short time and be with tree, field and stream. Visualise what it will be like as the sun casts long shadows across the land and day turns to night. Imagine sitting silently against the mighty oak, body warm under hat and coat. Watch in awe as the owl, fox and badger pass by. Stay still as their movement catches the corner of your eye. Be patient.
Then, as you make your way home along the woodland path, fight against the urge to check your watch. Indeed, you will have left your watch at home, for Nature has no regard for a ticking clock; only light and dark, hot and cold, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter concern the animals and plants.
Once this visualisation is complete, you are ready for the journey. Ensure you complete it - not next week or next month but this weekend.
Once the magic has been experienced, you shall forever be drawn back.

Strider Issue 24 - 13th June 2008
The most sickening fashion of our age must be that of almost continuous, endless negativity amongst our folk. It permeates very the fabric of Western society like a cancer, and spreads like the plague through this land of Albion.
Listen to any casual conversation, and hear as every time a person makes verbal the intention of doing something even remotely positive, the sentence is finalised with a pathetic get-out clause. Now be warned - you shall notice this everywhere you go:
"I'll be there - if I can make it."
"I'll do it - if there's time."
"I'll try - but it won't work."
"Even if I fail, I'll have done my best."
The last example is the most sickening of all,
for the sentence begins with negativity.
This should be enough for each and every Strider reader to understand just how often this kind of destructive statement is uttered. Every minute of every day there are millions of useless announcements made which are in actual fact directly contributing to the collapse of our once virile Nation.
Imagine if a note fell through your letterbox one bright and sunny morning stating that a suitcase containing a million pounds was waiting for you in a far off town, yet you could only collect the cash if you arrived there within a set time. Consider now what your three thoughts and actions would be, disregarding the notion of a hoax.
1. You would visualise obtaining the vast sum of money
2. You would state your intention clearly, either mentally or out loud
3. You would complete the task with vigour
Suddenly the spell is broken. All those years of negative thinking disappear as a truly magnificent vision presents itself in your mind's eye. If you had woken that morning feeling under the weather, lo and behold would you not immediately feel full of energy and full of life? Even before you laid hands on the money, nothing more than your positive thoughts have transformed your entire being from listless and lacklustre to fiery eyed and determined.
Yet perhaps you are not materialistic and can honestly say a million pounds would not change you or even excite you. Yet alter the prize to a magic pill which would cure a loved one of their terminal illness, and would you too not have the kind of feelings described above?
But let us study the psychology of that period of time between your first constructive visualisation and laying your hands on that great treasure. From the moment your mind has digested the information, all negativity in your life disappears and, to all intents and purposes, you have achieved your goal even before you've laid a foot out of the door.
This, my friends, is the key to success and is, in essence, the key to rebuilding our land and revitalising our people.
To succeed, one must be able to visualise a goal even before one steps upon the path. In fact, visualisation is the first step. You must aim to know you've succeeded before you've even begun.
Strider is a great advocate of such philosophers as Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche due to the great power of their uplifting words, yet very occasionally popular fictional quotes prove to stimulate the mind also. In one particular 'Star Wars' movie, master Yoda tells Luke, "Do or do not - there is no try." Far be it for Strider to take his life philosophy from a Jim Henson creation, but there is much to learn from in the quote directed at a naïve young rebel called Skywalker. Indeed, Luke's surname suggests he has the potential to aim high, yet must first turn his back on shallow ideals and negativity.
Only when negativity has been cast out of your life for good can you even contemplate attaining any of the goals you fleetingly aspire to. And when one considers the ultimate goal and concept of National Folkish Evolution and a future unhindered by stigma or narrow mindedness, a truly powerful energy begins to bubble up inside the soul.
What is the meaning of life?
Men have for eons pondered this question, and have left it mostly unanswered. Rather they would cringe meekly upon bended knee and wait for their query to be addressed by an all powerful God as they pass from this world and onto whatever awaits, having unfortunately wasted many a year where their life could have counted for something truly amazing. Many have failed miserably at life.
And yet the answer to the question is a simple one. The answer is that we must evolve or perish.
The children of Albion have come into this world with the ability to evolve, yet are currently angering Mother Nature with a perverse negativity and refusal to be all they can be. Instead of progressing, we are regressing. Instead of aiming for the stars, so many stare at the ground without the confidence to raise their vision. Instead of rebelling against ideologies which seek to hold them back, they are rebelling only against themselves and Nature.
Break free from the chains which bind the mind. Find your answers where lies do not exist - in the tree which stretches towards the sun; in the beast which acts without hesitation or embarrassment; in the life-cycle which shows growth and achievement are the only rules which need ever be heeded.
Just as a child laughs with joy and relief when shown the empty wardrobe where his imaginary monster once resided, so will the children of Albion soon rejoice as they look back on their former timid selves and realise that the darkness has lifted to reveal a bright new dawn.
Raise Your Ambitions!
Visualise Your Wondrous Dreams!
And Remember… "Free… For What?"

Strider Issue 23 - 6th June 2008
The lies, deceit and trickery, (encouraged and promoted by greedy, corrupt men and women from politicians to business and media players), aimed to halt Nationalism as a political movement and destroy Western Spirituality in its entirety, has made it very hard for Joe Average to see Nationalism and Western Spirituality in its true light.
Firstly it must be understood that while each and every brave soul that stands under the banner of Nationalism is not necessarily a spiritual type, those who have a complete and proper knowledge of the subject are much more entwined in the Cosmotheist aspects of just who we really are.
When a Briton makes the conscious decision to become Nationalist from a perspective of fear, for example fear of an economic downturn or fear of overcrowding, they are responding to an immediate feeling danger. This feeling is a perfectly Natural one, but it is also a negative way of thinking in that it is a last resort or defensive measure.
The Western mind has been forced, over many years, to think in such negative terms. Many of us only ever take action when danger threatens, and at all other times we generally sink back into a lazy existence. When we find enough spare time in our busy lives to actually do something useful, it is common practice to use that time to do… nothing of any productive value.
All readers of the Strider column will recognise the above characteristics perhaps either in themselves or those around them. While our beloved Nation is falling down around us, many Britons chose to relax or hide.
Yet despite this fashionably casual attitude to life, greater numbers are seeing the dangers that face us and are now considering themselves to be Nationalist, either as a permanent moniker or merely whilst at the Polling Station. This is, of course, good news.
But there are two levels to Nationalism, and it is the second, deeper level, which we must explore. This is, in fact, the very essence of the entire Strider project.
The Nationalist who is really of value to our Cause is the man, woman or child who has come to Nationalism not so much through fear of outside influence but through an innate comprehension of things that grow.
Nationalism is unlike every other ideology in that it comes not from the conscious mind but from within the very soul of a folk-group, and thus is a product of Nature. This is the main reason why Nationalist political parties have traditionally found the reasoning behind their deeds so hard to put into words, and why only the most eloquent leaders and thinkers have been able to break into the world of mainstream media, and thus promote their feelings rather than their ideas.
As Nationalism is an organic product of the folk-soul, it thus follows that, as with the eternal Laws of Nature, it is a perfect model of the concept of evolution promoted as an ideology. All things that grow and are a part of Nature's grand design evolve, improve and reach up to new horizons. If successful, they leave behind a little of themselves to continue the path of cyclical evolution, which Pagans term 'The Turning of the Wheel'. This phrase is generally taken to mean the revolution of the seasons, but actually implies much more - it is actually a metaphor for life itself.
Two things now become apparent:
- 1. True Nationalism is not about fear but about eternal evolution and achievement.
- 2. True Nationalists must first develop an understanding of Nature before they can add productively and ideologically to the Cause.
The backgrounds of the best and most influential Nationalists, if studied closely, often include the following:
- An interest in working on the land
- An interest in trees
- An interest in ornithology
- An interest in gardening
- An interest in naturalistic sporting pursuits such as fishing
- An interest in the cosmos
- An interest in past traditions which revolve around the seasons
Thus those best psychologically positioned to fully grasp the ethos of Nationalism are foresters, gardeners, farmers, rangers, fishermen and so forth.
Strider says now that whilst great and valuable activists can come from any background or walk of life, the true great thinkers behind the future growth of our Movement will come not from a sterile mental environment but from a Naturalistic one. Geographical location matters not, but psychology most certainly does. Those who refuse to understand the ways of Mother Nature will never fully grasp the basic motivation behind the ideology of Nationalism.
Fortunately all is not lost; the children of Albion are but a few short generations from an era where we all lived more closely with the land. It is in our blood, and although many of us have been forcibly wrapped in a toxic skin of modernity, inside each of us is the potential to break through to the surface like a germinating seed in its quest to reach the sun.
Only the most self-loathing individual refuses to acknowledge this, and they have to a man long since drawn their uncrossable line in the sand, standing bow-legged in the rank, decaying, putrid realm of neo-liberalism. Nationalism is the Polar Opposite of neo-liberalism, and where Nationalism promotes the workings of Nature, neo-liberals fear it and try to halt its progress.
Spiritual Nationalism, with its evolutionary ideals and pureness of purpose, blows like a fresh wind across Britain and into our hearts, and must be promoted in this most positive, uplifting manner by those who truly understand both our ideology and their own soul if this land and her people are to escape stagnation and death, and proceed on a path of breathtaking achievement.
Nationalism is evolution, evolution is Natural.

Strider Issue 22 - 30th May 2008
"Who exactly is Strider and what are the true intentions
of the Strider column?"
After more than twenty issues, these are two questions which must now be openly addressed.
Strider is a not in fact a person but a manifestation of all that is up reaching and positive in the human psyche. It may come as a surprise for some readers to find that an element of Strider is present in all Men of the West; Strider is a character of psychological, mythological, Primal Truth.
If last week's article revolved around what we've nearly lost, then this week we shall see what we can become.
The Strider spirit is the voice which whispers inside the minds of millions and speaks of great and glorious achievements without introducing a single negative nagging doubt to the fleeting, wondrous visions which we all regularly experience but unfortunately rarely act upon.
Back in Strider 16, the subject of imagination was discussed. It was shown that an imagination which knew no bounds could produce a physical reality directly inspired by the unhindered visions of the positive dreamer. As often as not, the final product is not directly constructed by the idea-maker, but there is no real golden rule in the matter. The most important observation to be aware of is that without this ability to think in uncharted realms, both the Children of Albion and all the Men of the West will descend into oblivion.
This decent has long since begun!
The major problem we face today is the constant pressure to conform and the almost relentless barrage of negativity energy when one releases his or her visions into the public arena. Usually the grand idea stops there. But do we not hold in high regard, and have they not almost achieved God-like status, those who let their inner visions loose upon the world?
From the genius of Isaac Newton, (1642-1727), whose Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, (published in 1687), is said to be the greatest single work in the history of science, to Charles Babbage, (1792-1871), a British mathematician and inventor who designed and built mechanical computing machines on principles that anticipated the modern electronic computer, we find that those who do not fear their productive imagination can achieve fantastic personal goals and also raise the ambitions of their fellow kinsmen.
Whether you merely dreams of singing on stage or have perhaps set your sights on truly visionary ideals which could benefit mankind, those fleeting imaginary instances where all you dreamt of becomes true are the work of the invisible Strider which resides to varying degrees in us all. Yet only by following the path of personal evolution can you reach these goals.
Close your eyes; do you see a world of superior high technology, where Nature and Science meet and entwine? Can you picture towns and cities they way they should be - rife with both trees and architecture and devoid of impurities? Does the countryside glow with good health and the rivers sparkle as they flow? Are the people in your dreams full of vitality and vigour? Do they reach for the stars? Do they know no fear?
The mass media may try to dumb you down; the Establishment may try to make you all equally weak and helpless; even your friends or family may try to constrain your imagination. But if the previous paragraph speaks to your soul, then feed your own personal Strider, for the only truth is that there are no limits to what you can become.
This article is dedicated to the eternal memory of Keith Brown, and to building a society where those reaching for grand ideals are rewarded.

Strider Issue 21 - 23rd May 2008
Strider aims to ensure his avid readers are aware of past traditions, of wondrous Mythology, of great achievements and of the beauty which surrounds us in Nature. At present there is a yearning for this knowledge, for deep down inside many Children of Albion there is a realisation that such amazing things could be lost forever. The concrete jungle creeps slowly over fertile soil like a cancer, past customs are eradicated as if they are some kind of vile disease, and up-reaching positivity is gradually being pushed out of our folk-consciousness.
It is too easy to let yourselves believe that all that was once good and wholesome has already disappeared, and that it is futile to even attempt a reawakening. When seated in front of a computer, surrounded by post-modern furniture, plastic plants, electrical cables and being relentlessly attacked by an invisible aura of static charge or magnetic flux, it is understandable that you may feel weakened. A balance must be maintained for reasons of health, and therefore Strider shall now tell a story of a recent venture away from the office and into Nature…
With canine companion at his side, Strider followed his usual route through the small market town and out into the countryside. The summer evening was glorious, and there was no rush to return home. Once the sound of traffic had disappeared into the distance, the birdsong began; without a doubt it had always been there, but now it could be heard clearly. Even the hum of bees reached Strider's ears as he walked down the lane.
A gate was ajar, and Strider's four legged friend pushed his way through it - a smell of adventure was in the air, and Strider followed…
Across fields they walked, all sense of time irrelevant as the sun gradually crept towards the horizon. On any normal day, it would have been sensible to turn back, yet both man and beast put aside their five senses and followed their calling.
Fields made way for woodland and a pathway emerged. Strider had never explored so far from home, but knew that there was no need to worry. The pathway led through the trees and over a bridge, and Strider found himself on a rutted track, just as dusk fell across the land. Hooking his dog onto the lead, man and animal followed the track around a bend; a light flickered in the distance, and Strider's dog sniffed the air as his muscled legs powered forwards with renewed vigour.
The sound of music drifted on the breeze as the travellers approached their destination, and the flickering light became a public house. With old beams and a look of aged subsidence, Strider had the feeling of a traveller through time as well as land as he pushed at the heavy wooden door. The aroma of hot food wrapped around the outsiders like a comforting blanket as they stepped into this different age, and not an eye was batted as Strider's dog pulled free from his leash and settled down in a corner of the bar.
The music continued as Strider cast his eyes around; a man with guitar was seated upon a stool, and patrons clapped and sang along. There was smoke in the air, and Strider noticed with interest that two men sat smoking at a nearby table; one with pipe and another with cigarette. No signs forbade this, and the landlord gave them not a second glance.
Strider stepped to the bar, took a glass of the home brew on offer, and settled in as if a regular patron. The ale, music and the ethereal ambiance swept him away into a surreal world of laughter and dance, and as the evening wore on Strider chose to accept everything and fight nothing. Strider answered inquisitive questions from the carefree locals and asked questions of his own:
"Who is the musician?"
No one could give an adequate reply to this, other than relate the musician's travelling name of "Ansund", but Strider knew the guitarist had taken note…
* * *
The morning dawned bright and fresh, and Strider awoke to find his dog sleeping contentedly at the foot of the bed. A radiant splash of sunshine threw itself across the room, and breakfast was upon the bedside table. A glint of light caught Strider's eye, and he slipped out of bed to find a compact disc had been pushed under the bedroom door. The modern shape was greatly at odds with the traditional décor, but its contents - as you will shortly realise - were as rooted in tradition as the musician who'd surely placed it there.
There follows the lyrics to the song contained upon the disc, and a link to a video Strider later produced to add a visual element to the words.
The Wheel
Spring
This land is mine I swear, this country is my home
My kinsmen stand beside me, I know I'm not alone
In meadows flowers open, to greet life giving sun
With joy the children rush outdoors, and through the fields they run
Chorus
My brothers they will never give up their own sacred ground
Our women they will never feel any less than proud
Summer
Whispers from the woodland, sweet scent of summer air
Birds soar over barley fields, and sing without a care
Hazy days, the busker plays, on cobbled village street
Children head down to the fair, not caring who they meet
Chorus
Our children have strength in their souls, their flame keeps burning bright
Heroes' blood flows through their veins, and teaches what is right
Autumn
Green man takes his time to rest, as workers harvest corn
Shadows lengthen over land, and chillier the dawn
As Mother Nature's wheel turns, we know she lives and dies
So we can reach and touch the stars, under our Northern skies
Chorus
We revere Nature, we hail every dawn
There's nothing that can frighten us, when we stand as one
Winter
Countryside all masked in white, the landlord brews his ale
Draw a chair close to the fire, and listen to a tale
A Winter Solstice with no dawn, an England with no light
All memories of past forgot, just everlasting light
Chorus
This tale of self destruction, comes from foreign tongue
And twisted minded traitors, in England are hung
The Wheel
So listen to the folk-song, and never ever kneel
And keep your soul in touch with Nature's ever turning Wheel
We can live forever with our arms raised to the sun
With steely eyed determination, we've already won

Strider Issue 20 - 16th May 2008
"The bright white light tore into the retinas of two hundred thousand citizens, and moments later the heat peeled off their skin before the blast wave turned their charred and disfigured bodies to dust. Buildings crumbled and trees were no more, as Little Boy and Fat Man unleashed their atomic power over Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August 1945. The world had never seen such a cataclysmic event; the Japanese had never felt such brutal force; Nature had never been so disrupted."
The fear which atomic energy invokes amongst rational citizens across the globe is like no fear ever experienced before in all the recorded ages of man. It is not just the force of a nuclear explosion which so disturbs us, but the invisible stalking killer which is radiation. 26th April 1986 renewed our fear, as reactor number four of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, releasing thirty to forty times more fallout than the A-bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima. This time we were directly affected; an internet news page at www.icwales.co.uk tells us on 26th April 2008 that as many as 359 Welsh farms were still under restriction regarding the moving of sheep. The fact that we rarely hear full detailed news reports regarding the current danger to our health from Chernobyl-related fallout only adds to our fear of all things nuclear.
Nevertheless, if one considers modern day Japan, merely sixty years after that devastating two-fold atomic assault, we find their Nation is thriving. In an industrial sense, they have in many cases overtaken the West in terms of quality and price of goods and working efficiency, and in a folkish sense, the Japanese have a strong comprehension of who they really are. In the post-War era, many a Western man and woman have looked to the Far East for spiritual guidance, and indeed this still happens. But even when one considers the full extent of the destruction rained upon Japan by high technology weaponry, we nevertheless find they not only still survive but actually are now thriving. Most important to note is that their belief system is completely intact and most every man, woman and child positively radiates confidence, positivity and National pride.
Could we deduce from this that spiritual folkishness has more power than the atom bombs of 1945?
Strider will answer this and the related following question in a more controversial manner. If the atom bomb could not destroy a culture, what can? The answer is that the only way in which a Nation can be destroyed is via the kind of cultural genocide being actively practiced in the West by our own people. It is hard to believe, but nevertheless entirely true, that it would be less damaging to the children of Albion in the long term if an atomic bomb were to explode over London right now than for our own people to continue on their current path of liberal-Marxist inspired self-genocidal destruction.
To take another view, consider that in just a few hundred years the Native American has all but been wiped out by an influx of culturally different people and the introduction of harmful substances which were alien to them, for example: whisky. A nuclear attack would not have harmed the Red Indian to the extent that the Western invasion and subsequent cultural change has.
Our own destruction is a three-fold affair:
- 1. Adoption of Alien Spirituality and Incompatible Morals
- 2. Promotion of Incompatible Cultural Influence
- 3. Narcotics Which Destroy Innate Judgment and Survival Instincts
Yet as with all things with the potential to destroy life, it is the most obvious threat which is noticed and reacted to, and it is the creeping sickness which is almost entirely ignored. Another self-genocidal habit Britons so often portray is the tendency to help everyone but themselves. Of course, to help others is an honourable deed, but to ignore one's own folk and family in a time of great crisis is the biggest sin of all. It goes against common sense instincts, and it goes against Nature's grand design, for the protection of self is the most important rule in maintaining life on this planet.
In order to break through the thick shell of decades of fashionable naivety, Strider must speak with thunder and lightening:
In ignoring your Natural self, in ignoring your kinsfolk, in ignoring your Pagan heritage, you are directly contributing to a Western cultural disaster more terrible, more apocalyptic and more everlasting than a Nuclear War.
The falling of the West shall not come by fire, it shall come by ignorance.
This generation will determine the death or upreaching prosperity of the children of Albion.
