About Lara Atwood

I am a practitioner and researcher into the ancient Religion of the Sun, and most specifically the Indo-European branch of it, which is my own native tradition. I am author of the book 'The Ancient Religion of the Sun,' - a religion that I believe is one of the most ancient in the world, and the origin of many spiritual traditions and sacred sites around the globe. I run the YouTube channel SakroSawel and the website sakrosawel.com ("sakro sawel" means "sacred sun" in the Proto-Indo European language).

Ancient Prophecies of the End of Civilization

Ancient traditions of the religion of the sun preserve accounts of a series of world ages that were destroyed by global catastrophes. They describe how civilization periodically goes through golden and dark ages, and declines over time to be destroyed and spiritually renewed over again. Their ancient texts and teachings state that such a catastrophe lies ahead for our civilization too. [...]

The Lost Civilization of the Sun – A Missing Link in Our Ancient Past

After a short hiatus, here is the next video from Sakro Sawel. A special thanks to my husband Mark for his knowledge that has made this video possible, and to the research of Martin Doutre of http://celticnz.co.nz/  - both of which have helped me be able to piece together the narrative presented in this video.Most are familiar with stories of the lost civilization of Atlantis, but in this video I explain that there is another lost civilization that lies even closer to us in time that most people are unaware of, and gave rise to the building of similar megalithic sites, and the spread of the same symbols, religion, and measurements, throughout distant parts of the world. [...]

The Song Odin by the Band Faun

Here is the song called Odin being performed live by the band Faun, featuring Einar Selvik from the band Wardruna and Martin Seeberg (a Danish musician).Since I've just made a video about Odin, I thought I'd share it.It's sung mostly in German. The song lyrics include a lot of mythology about Odin, and also a particular verse from a text called the Hávamál (meaning "Sayings of the High One"), which is a collection of Norse poems from the Viking Age, in which Odin speaking in first person recounts his self-sacrifice on the world tree. [...]

The Religion of the Sun – Spirituality of a Lost Ancient Civilization

Vast numbers of megalithic sites across the ancient world align to the sun at the solstices and equinoxes, including Stonehenge, the Great Sphinx of Egypt, the statues of Easter Island, the temple at Angkor Wat, and Machu Picchu in Peru. And so many chief ancient deities were symbolized by the sun and revered as sun gods, including Viracocha and Osiris. Even today billions of people still celebrate the solstice. [...]

Experiencing Consciousness by Being in the Present Moment

Have you ever had a moment where you felt a heightened sense of awareness in which you could tune into your environment and people around you allowing you to perceive things you wouldn’t normally?

Extraterrestrial Contact Experience with Dr Steven Greer

Last weekend a few friends and I went to spend some time with Dr Steven Greer of the Disclosure Project. He spent 3 days giving a series of talks and going out under the stars to make contact with extraterrestrials (ETs), and then was off to attend a secretive meeting of government officials.Even though the workshops were fully booked, the organizers opened up spaces in the weekend of talks, which allowed us to go at a greatly reduced price. Then they opened up the final night under the stars by donation, which we attended with around 80 other people (normally he only does his CE-5 contact sessions with groups of around 25). [...]
