The Rev'd David Parry - Odinism & The Tradition of Dissent

A fascinating speech. David talks about  the revival of the natural religion of Heathenry as a potent weapon for opposing corporate globalisation,.  A return to nature - to the Pagan Heathenry - as a means of moving away from the Globalised Monotheism which is the justification of Capitalist Exploitation and the Hierarchical Class System.

The Rev'd David Parry on Gnosticism

David graduated in religious studies in 1990 and obtained a Master’s degree in Pastoral Theology in 1996, he is the founder of “Theo-Humanist Arts” a creative group that centres on new thought, art, music, invited speakers and eco spirituality, the group was formerly known as “Gruntlers” which was created in 2008.

He is an author, poet, dramaturge, A Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts, and an active Libertarian.

David was a universal lay minister and while spending over 30 years in Pagan practice and studies he became one of the few Heathen Godies in the UK and is also a Gardinerian Wicca initiate and recently a Valentinian (Gnostic) Bishop.

In the following podcast for THA Talks he will speaks about his experiences and knowledge from Ancient Paganism, Christianity and gnosticism.


Originally this was added as a youtube video, but the video has been taken down.  This does seem to be a recurring issue, which highlights that David is talking about matters which ruffle the feathers of the self-appointed liberal bigots.  Obviously a good thing!!

DavidParry: The Grammar of Witchcraft - Selected Readings



In this collection of Mini-Sagas and poems, Parry narrates the final journey taken by his alter ego Caliban from the surreal delights of a lesbian wedding in Liverpool, all the way back to a non-existent city of London. In himself, the author is aiming to resolve lyrical contradictions existing between different levels of consciousness: betwixt reality and the dreaming state. And as such, unnervingly illogical scenarios emerge out of a stream of consciousness wherein bewildering theatrical landscapes actively compete with notions of Anglo-Saxon witchcraft, Radical Traditionalism, and a lack of British authenticity. Each analysis pointing towards those Jungian Spirits haunting an endlessly benevolent Archetypal world.
