Animus is Latin for Mind, which in Sanskrit is Manas. That is the root word for Man; because on Earth we alone have the gift of consciousness. We have the power to contemplate and reflect. The mind has proven to be more powerful than both the pen and the sword. The meaning of the Hu in human is Spirit, the Breath of Life, the Infinite Well of Thoughts. The spirit is the driving force that gives man his creativity. But this is only if it is undivided from objective reality, the Body... Anima, the solar masculinity... Animation, the action of the former...
Music in healthy times was part of the community gatherings, a ritual dedicated to life and the virtuous deeds of ancestors and glorified heroes, the gods of old. It was holistically regenerating and, in times of war, was used to boost the morale of combatants. Let the music of ANIMOUS then aid that adrenaline energy which en-courages you through occult warfare in boldly rising above the undifferentiated rabble that is modern civilization to be virtuous as those heroes in the tales of our ancestors.
Updates on ANIMOUS will appear here, as well as articles which we find relevant to integralist philosophy and sonic art. If anyone feels an inclination to respond to these but need structure, here are links that will help:
