It is with an extremely heavy heart that I share the news I’m about to share with you all.

Jeff Winston, director and founder of the White Art Collective, passed away unexpectedly on October 6th 2023.

There are no words to describe the loss that I feel for myself, our 3 month old daughter, and Jeff’s family. He was the love of my life, my best friend, and an incredible father. He inspired me artistically, and showed me what it really means to love and to be loved unconditionally. He was truly one of the good ones.

Although we ask that you please respect the privacy of our family, we greatly appreciate all prayers and support during this difficult time.

Thank you,

-Hiraeth

For those who have not yet heard the sad news, Jeff Winston, founder of White Art Collective, passed away under tragic circumstances, leaving behind his fiancée, Hiraeth, and their 3 month old baby.

She is now facing raising their infant daughter alone, her dreams for the future shattered, and her entire life has upended. Those who know Hiraeth know what an unfailingly kind person she is and she and Jeff deserved a better ending to what was a beautiful love story.

No amount of money can ever bring Jeff back, but it can help her rebuild her life and ease some of her financial stress while she goes through her grieving and rebuilding process.

I ask each of you to donate what you can. The link to the fundraiser is below. Please be as generous as your finances allow, as her need is great. If you are unable to donate, consider sharing this with others?

I want to thank everyone for all of the support that my daughter and I have gotten this past week.

Hearing all of the stories, appreciation, and the impact that Jeff had on so many of you has definitely given me some comfort in such a painful time.

This is a previously unreleased song that I feel was unintentionally created to be released in this moment, so I’m dedicating this to Jeff.

He inspired me and motivated me to not only create, but to grow as an artist and as a person. Besides the love we shared, he gave me the greatest gift I could have asked for… a daughter. Her smile keeps me strong.

His memory will live on through her and the stories we all share of him. ❤️

WOMAN AS POWER: THE “DURGA” QUALITY

New Substack article exploring the abyssal nature of the feminine, prompted by a question from a reader

It has been brought to my attention that Inner Traditions, publishers of many of Evola’s most important works, has come under attack by SJWs for publishing his 3-volume Intro to Magic set.

If you are on Facebook, please go support them (civilly) in the comments on their page: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/3gxnzKqHRd3kV2f4/?mibextid=PkCAf5

Or better yet, buy the books! The boxed set of three hardcovers would be a nice addition to any bookshelf.

Inner Traditions is still coming under attack by the SJW mob for publishing Julius Evola’s books.

They are under attack on Instagram as well and would appreciate a show of support on that platform. If you have an IG account, please go leave them a supportive comment.

They have also informed me that they have no intention of bowing to the mob.

I have been working for over a year on the research and writing for the next Revolt Against the Modern World episode, "The Soul of Chivalry". The script is in excess of 14,000 words and will be our longest episode yet. By comparison, our previous longest episode was "only" 6700 words. I expect it to be over 2 hours long!

To be fair, this is a long chapter in the book and one that is filled with all kinds of interesting points that deserve to be developed more thoroughly. We'll be covering knighthood, symbolism surrounding themes like horses and women, the Holy Grail, the Knights Templar, what it takes to be a chivalric hero, and more.

I want to give a big thanks to those who have continued to support this project, whether that be through Patreon or SubscribeStar, becoming a YouTube channel member, subscribing to my Substack, or by sharing the content. I appreciate that so many have stuck by, despite the fact that it must seem like I've done very little in the way of content this year. It's been over a year since the last episode, after all, and I couldn't fault anyone for wondering if the project had been abandoned.

The reason is both that this is a massive project that required prioritisation, meaning any additional content had to take a backseat, plus just having to work a LOT this year and not having as much free time. But things have still been happening behind the scenes! And the silver lining is that since the last episode, a number of new artistic tools have become available to us to make this the best looking and best sounding episode yet.

It will still be a few months before the episode is ready for release, but I think you'll find that it was worth the wait. If you're new to the series or you have some episodes to catch up on, now is the time to do so. The Soul of Chivalry will certainly be enjoyable as a standalone video, but it does build on previous concepts, so you'll enjoy it more if you've watched the other episodes.

Coming soon in the Spring of 2024: Revolt Against the Modern World, Episode 14: The Soul of Chivalry

A two-hour deep dive into the transcendent quest of knighthood, the legend of the Holy Grail, the Templars, the meaning of esoteric symbols such as the woman or the horse, what it meant to be a hero, and the political and religious intrigue that caused the final break with the World of Tradition in the West.

Julius Evola on the Solar Masculine and the Lunar Feminine

A discussion with Academic Agent in which we discuss the symbolism of the solar and the lunar, the metaphysical masculine and feminine principles, how these things manifest throughout the cycle of ages and in men and women, and many related tangents, such as initiation, Atlantis and Hyperborea, matriarchy, the afterlife, modern examples and more.

You were probably told by your schoolteachers that the ancients were dumb because they believed the earth was the centre of the cosmos, but actually it was your teachers who were suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Here’s why the ancients used a geocentric model of the universe, instead of a heliocentric model:

Knightly Virtues for the Modern Man - new Substack article

Branching off from one of the topics we’ll be looking at in the next Revolt episode, here we consider what the knightly virtues of prowess, loyalty, and honour have to offer us as an antidote to the poison of modernity

ANNOUNCEMENT: Our fourth annual Writing Competition is now up!

Our theme for this year’s writing contest is “Thinking about Rome.” We are looking for stories and poems about the perennial nature of human experiences, whether they happened yesterday or two thousand years ago, as well as the intersection of our struggles today and those of times long past. Submissions can be about the echoes of the classical world in modernity, the shadow of modernity in the classical world, or even about the inspiration one draws from those that came before them. The prompt is not limited to these ideas; we wish to keep the topic broad so as to encourage a wide array of ideas. And life is full of ups and downs, so the mood need not be limited to themes of victory and triumph, but can also cover pensiveness, heartbreak, or anything else.

There are two submission categories: Poetry (of any style) and Short Story (fiction).

Two $600 prizes for best in each category
Two $400 prizes for the runner-up in each category

Submissions open on March 1st - spread the word!

By now you will have heard that my husband Sam Melia was sentenced today to two years in prison for his intentions behind publishing stickers that the prosecution said were both lawful and truthful.

The sentencing guidelines gave the judge the option of choosing anywhere between 2 years and 6 years, and the minimum was given due to the lack of seriousness regarding the offence. The judge could’ve suspended the sentence (and sent Sam home) at two years, however he chose not to and said the reason why was because he wanted the sentencing to act as a deterrent to other people with the same beliefs.

Before today, Sam met with his Probation Officer who said that Sam was no risk to the public and there was no chance of reoffending, and recommended a community order. The judge chose to ignore this.

The worst case scenario is that Sam will serve 12 months in prison. Potentially, he could serve 6 - 8 months. He is considered low risk and could therefore be on day release from as early as in a few months.

If you take anything from this, let it remind you why we do what we do. We live in a country where our people are attacked by the anti-White state for advocating for their own safety and interests.

I don’t want cuddles and condolences. I don’t want thoughts and prayers. I want you to join me in filling the void that Sam leaves for the next few months. There are no excuses. Not everybody has to be on the front line. There is plenty you can do behind the scenes.

Sam should hold his head up high knowing that he put his head above the parapet when many others dare not. He didn’t back down at any point over the last three years, nor did he take any offer they offered him. He remained defiant for us, and now it’s our turn to repay his sacrifice by carrying his flame until he is back.

We don’t know what the topics will be before going on and just have to riff on the spot about whichever wild card topic we get and then get points for how well we did.

So hit the notification bell on his channel, it premieres at pm Eastern.
