I believe the ability to become a true Jedi is more than just a Hollywood theme. The Star Wars franchise is so heavily laden with occult esoteric themes that someone like me can easily become fascinated by it.
Hollywood , the holly-wood, is more than a place. It's a brand and a way of magic. The spell casting practice of entrapping audiences with a story on screen to transport them away from their reality for a while.
There is a magic that happens there.
The theme of the Jedi parallels most of what I am encountering in my own journey with magic.
There is a force. We don't have to call it that. But there is an energy that flows through us all and around us. It is. And it has always been.
Recap: the Jedi is a person who studies and practices, and works to better himself and to better the universe around him. He is a master of the force who can use that energy at his will.
The sith is a dark version of the Jedi. He can too use the force to his own will, but his actions are selfish, and often evil. The power is strong, it is faster and easier to attain. But in the end, the sith never come out on top.
The magic that is in our world is going to be there whether we become an active participant or not. Magic can happen to us, or we can create the results we need and want.
The light side of this energy is harder to attain. As opposed to ignorantly tapping into the demonic or spiritual energy that is all around us, the path to the light side is long. And we must become masters of ourselves. Our intentions must be pure. We need to be self aware.
Much like the Buddha, or the Christ. The power we can practice by achieving enlightenment will be more powerful, for it will be a righteous power.
The journey is different for everyone, but for my part, I will say that the Light side is the correct choice. We will be at peace. We will uplift humanity.

Finding Hope In A Corrupt World
I notice that a lot of people get caught up in the political divide and feel the need to be part of one team or another. Right wing or left wing. Good or bad. Whatever it is. People gravitate to groups that make them feel accepted.
It's natural and it's not bad thing in many cases.
However in the case of politics, it is not a healthy environment. The current political mode is created to divide us. The powers behind it all have manufactured the anger and fear so that they can manipulate the population.
One must step outside the paradigm to realize this and to find peace.
If you were one of those who felt the world was coming to an end when Trump won the election, or even if you were a Trump supporter, and instead you felt like this is now the time when we can expect true change, then you have mentally given the office of president too much power.
The system in place is just a show. It's a magic trick. They use illusions and manipulations to cause reactions. And that show is in full force.
The only way to keep our energy on an even keel is to realize that the show is taking place. Like the stage magician, his show would carry no value if the audience knew how the trick worked. The political stage is no different.
I know that when you first wake up to the conspiracies happening around the world, at first it can be depressing. It can ve scary to realize. That is a natural emotion. You just can't stop there.
I have felt all those emotions too. I was angry and sad for a long time at what I saw happening .
But there is hope. We as. Group must maintain hope to keep it going. Ignorance is bliss, but none of us would really want to go back once we have gone down the rabbit hole. It is now just a matter of learning to control outcomes.
For me it is learning to use that same magic to control the outcomes in my own life. The faith and power of my own self and my own higher consciousness is my way out.
The fear mongering in the media has no power over me. I am in control. I practice the magic of truth. I encourage all to do the same

Flat Earth Brought God Back
If you have been in the conspiracy theory community for any amount of time, you have come across the resurgence of the flat earth theory.
In the last two years there has been a palpable energy in this realm, and for me it's a little surprising how much steam this movement has. I remember first hearing the case for the flat earth on the THC podcast a couple years ago. And from that moment I noticed it popping up all over. YouTube searches for the flat earth are ranking high, and mainstream shows are taking notice.
I remain earth shape agnostic to this day, but I embrace the power behind the flat earth theory because it is questioning the establishment, especially NASA. We are smart enough to know that we have been lied to. We just may not have all the answers yet.
No matter what the case ends up to be in reality, there is one thing I am certain of.
The flat earth brought God back.
When you believe NASA, you believe that the world was created almost by accident. You believe that the world is nothing more than one more rock spinning through infinite space. You believe that the only reason we are here now is because we managed to survive and evolve in a Darwinian fashion.
But once you take on the idea that the establishment has lied to us, and that the world is not what we have been led to believe, a new energy takes hold.
If the earth truly is flat, and our world is nothing more than an enclosed system, then we then realize that there must have been a creating force. Maybe there was one creator. Maybe there was a group. But some power somewhere built this thing and made it so specific that it is what it is.
A flat plane, so cleverly crafted that we have a firmament above to keep us in, and a barrier around us to keep us from leaving the plane. We are in an enclosed world.
It may not be a flat earth. It may be something even more involved. Something like a matrix like simulation. But the concept of a creator still holds true.
If we are not on a rock hurling through an infinite space, then we are in a created universe that was made specifically for us. Someone built this thing with intent.
The first leap so many conspiracy theory buffs take is to lean toward atheism in the early days of exploring and researching these ideas. But it all comes full circle when you realize you are living in a created habitat.
Something had a plan.
That something we can call God.
What is the nature of God?
I don't know. I don't know if it is a being, or an energy, or a conglomerate. I just don't know.
But it is reassuring to feel that in truth we are not alone. We are part of something.
For me it has led to a path of studying the esoteric and the magic that exists in the world.
It is there. It always has been. Modern society made it seem like something in fantasy and science fiction. But it is there. We can all tap into it. The force is real.
We are higher beings, having a temporal human experience. If we can tap into that higher self and learn to control it, with pure intentions, we can become powerful. We can achieve the Christ consciousness.
I love the energy in the world today, because people are waking up. Many are not ready for these higher concepts. They will be in time. For now, it might be easier for them to start with simplistic ideas , like 9-11, or Sandy Hook. Maybe even the moon landing hoax. Or the laundry list of simple conspiracy theories out there. But those are like mental exercise. The more they research, the stronger their mental muscle becomes.
They can begin to see that there are many things that were not true. And even something like 9-11 is a much deeper conspiracy than most realize.
Bush brought down the towers? Sure, but what if they began to realize the towers were representative of a ritual. The towers and the date for them to be destroyed was planned long before Bush. And there is occult meaning behind many of the things that have occurred right before their eyes.
There is real power in the world. There is real magick. And those who are in power of this world try to make the population think that it's all fantasy and ridiculous. Meanwhile they themselves are trying to master it.
We as a people need to take that control back and use it for positive things.
We need to achieve higher consciousness.
The more the flat earth theory grows, the more people will rediscover God.
I think the power shift is coming back to the people. Soon.

Controlling Outcomes
Synchronicity is a real phenomenon. I beleieve that the power of the event drives the event. That is to say that when the mind is focused on on thing, there is power. It draws in to it other things to support that focus.
This of course can be for positive and for negative. When you have bad things happen to you, you may find that more bad things are happening to you. Like attracts like.
We all feel it. A bad day has numerous events within it that seem to make it a culminating event of negativity.
"I wish this day would just end!"
You've said it. You've heard it. Negative attracts more of the same. When it rains it pours.
But then again so can the positive. Good things can also follow good things. A great day, or when "you're in the zone" and things just happen the way they should.
So when I am seeking knowledge, I find that knowledge finds me.
The topic at hand appears everywhere. Why? I don't know. But it just does.
Perhaps this is the way the universe works. Things are meant to work this way.
For the moment I like to refer to it as magick. Not in the stagecraft sense of what we see at a carnival show, but in the sense of the unexplained powers that we have all experienced. The miracles. The moments when we felt something that we may call divine intervention.
There is a power. A faith power. Something subliminal.
But as I am seeking knowledge, knowledge finds me.
Similar things. They appear together. In three's most often. But they come.
I am working to channel it. TO focus this magick. TO find a way to control it for the better.
There is mind over matter. And it seems to be more powerful than anything physical that exists to this point. It just takes some work and some focus.

Mastering One System First
Mastering one system of mystery may be the key to open others. Eventually all systems share common origins and beliefs.
This is not a totally new concept to me but it has been made clearer in the recent weeks.
There are positives to most belief systems that cannot be denied. Even certain religions that are often demonized in the public eye hold truths that are of value once you look past the surface.
For many, if not most, we have a cultural tie to one religion system or another. On the outset there are some positives, like living honestly and with righteousness intent. Below that there may be negatives associated with the religion because of the dogma that it carries: brainwashing tactics, misuse of monies donated in the form of tithes and even a judgmental climate among the membership.
The damage that is done by organized religion is felt across the planet and it won't stop any time soon. This may be because the real understanding of what spirituality is and what these faith systems promote beneath the surface is not understood by the masses.
For me it is starting to become clearer. Once I was so disenchanted with the idea of religion that I felt I had no choice but atheism and scientism. Man was in charge of his own outcomes and his own destiny. And maybe there was nothing else beyond this mortal life.
I suppose that way of thinking would not have lasted much longer even if I were not as curious as I am naturally. I know there is always more beneath the surface and I never stopped looking.
I always noticed the many shared ideas and concepts in many religions. That posed questions that were never answered satisfactorily. Why are those ideas so similar? Where did they originate? And does anyone hold the truth in full?
Here is where it becomes important to go back to the system that you are most familiar with, and master it, before dabbling and trying other things: you will have a background and a foundation to stand on to propel you further so that when you do look to study the other systems you will be at an intermediate level as opposed to a beginner.
I am not saying to go back to dogma. And I am not saying to go back to fundamentalism in your belief. And I am not saying to ever discount what another faith system is promotion or to take the viewpoint that it is evil or misguided.
Perhaps the best way to describe it is that each system is a unique language for talking with god.
Each has its own magick and power that can be mastered. Each has its mysteries that can be understood.
So before abandoning one way of looking at things to begin on another brand new path, take a step back to explore the esoteric ideas that you missed the first time.
I don't mean for this to sound at all like a lecture because in reality this is only a lesson for myself to learn, but by sharing it I might help another who is in a similar situation.
There is real magick in the faith as has been manifest in so many examples. Amazing examples that cannot be explained by science or conventional logic. And it is not exclusive to one faith system. It is available to all of us.
For my journey it is coming together now that I have gone back to accepting that there must be more. I cannot accept that there is nothing beyond this world.
For my part, I intend to master one system, while keeping my eyes and heart open to the mysteries all around us.
If religion is only a language for talking with god, then we might better understand what god is and what true religion is. Religion free from dogma.
When a man prays for a thing and the thing comes true, the magick worked. It's not that his faith is more true or correct, it is that he mastered the system that he knows. Another man might meditate and focus on a thing and again that will work. Because he has mastered his own system.
So if you already have a system, search for the esoteric and occult knowledge that exists there.
I believe that it will all come back to a point. There is a universal truth, and the magick is real.
The journey has to begin with a simple, single step. So by beginning with the familiar we can explore the yet unknown.

A little bit of fairy tale and myth
DON’T LOOK UNDER THE BED
Last Night we asked the question. “Can a country with deep Christian roots like Mexico find itself at the mercy of demons or evil entities? The Catholic Church thought so and decided to hold an exorcism for the entire country.
The church cited many reasons why they would conduct such a massive exorcism and that of course is because of the country’s criminal activity like drug smuggling, prostitution and also the high abortion rate.
However many people who have been south of the border know that Mexico and even South America is an area where due to the enormous amount of faith in God, there seems to be an inordinate amount of reports of flying witches called Brujas, ghosts or Phantasmas and even poltergeist activity provided by a number of shadowy creatures called Los Cucuy, Los Duendes, Las Lechuzas.
El Cucuy is said to be an evil monster that hides under children’s bed at night and kidnaps or eats the child that does not obey his/her parents or goes to sleep when it is time to do so. Social sciences professor Manuel Medrano says popular legend describes El Cucuy as a small humanoid with glowing red eyes that hides in closets or under the bed. ‘Some folklore claims that he is a kid who was the victim of violence… saying that he’s alive, but in reality he’s not.
One of the creepiest films that deal with “El Duende” is a film called “The Babadook.”
The Babadook, like many “imaginary” monsters, starts out subtle in its manifestations and slowly gets bolder and more visible but the meaning of the Babadook as a monster and how it affects a young boy and his mother.
At first, the Babadook seems to be the classic “monster under the bed” that children are scared of – however the young boy in the story, Samuel believes that this creature is out to kill his mother.
The film is an emotional rollercoaster for most people who have had imaginary friends when they were kids, or had terrifying experiences with shadow entities.
We all know of shadow creatures that appear in bedrooms. When we were kids we always wondered if there were monsters under the bed or in the closets waiting to take us away in our sleep.
The monsters that lurk under the stairs or under that bed have been a belief that has been encouraged since childhood, in fact there have been many nursery rhymes or songs that have a common theme in Grimmifcation – many have been called Grimmdarks.
It is a common belief that most traditional Children’s songs and stories were designed to inform kids via metaphor about a potentially harsh world in a time where children worked and traveled and were essentially treated more like miniature adults than “kids”. But originally, fairy tales were told to many different audiences, ghost stories and tales of witches, child catchers and conjured entities were also told by frightened villagers.
The legends were based in a belief in paranormal machinations; poorer people were always encountering demons, specters, goblins, and shadowy figures.
These stories were common amongst the peasants – they were graphic, terrifying and even recorded in history as real events. They were then changed and metaphor was used to illustrate a lesson. Only after they were first recorded by early folklorists did the stories obtain morals and, eventually, kiddie-friendly endings that removed the graphic violence and occasional Cruel Twist Ending.
Such is the legend of the Poem Ring around the Rosy, pocket full of posies ashes to ashes we all fall down.
The Black Death had been known in England for centuries as a ghastly and horrible way to die. The victim’s skin turned black in patches, and the inflamed glands or ‘buboes’ in the groin, combined with compulsive vomiting, a swollen tongue and splitting headaches, made it a horrible, agonizing killer.
Though the disease was originally called the “Great Mortality” and the “Great Pestilence,” the name “Black Death” was eventually adopted because of the appearance of black boils caused by dried blood under the skin from internal hemorrhaging.
The first indications of the disease were a red ring that formed around your cheeks. Then you would begin to sneeze as the bacterial infection held you in its deadly embrace. The bacterium would spread to the victims’ lungs, causing them to fill with frothy, bloody liquid. This derivative of the disease was known as the pneumonic plague, and would quickly spread from person to person through the air.
In the spring and summer of 1665, an outbreak of bubonic plague spread from parish to parish until thousands had died and the huge pits dug to receive the bodies were full. People were dying at the rate of 7000 per week.
The smell of death permeated the streets, and it was wise to carry with you a pocket full of flowers to give relief the pungent smell of putridity. Physicians used to carry scented herbs and flowers, in front of their noses in an attempt to ward off the plague. Traditional 17th century London physicians wore long robes and a long beaked mask with posies stuffed inside.
The bodies needed to be burned to kill the bacteria before the mass graves were filled, resulting in the phrase “Ashes Ashes”. In other versions of the verse, the phrase was “Achoo Achoo”, indicating the sneezing associated with the pneumonic plague.
There are many people who have decided that this particular rhyme does in fact have ties to the plague of 1665; however, the first renditions of the rhyme were not written until 1881. This means that, if it were truly a rhyme that was created during the plague, it would have to have been recited for nearly six hundred years. This makes the plague connection suspect.
However, one third of the earth’s population, perhaps more, succumbed to the plague and it could have been picked up very quickly as an elegy or a culling verse, taken from something that was created before. It could be a parody of a previous song or verse.
It is also possible that the rhyme was taken from a Hindu ritual. Richard Stoney has researched the possibility of the rhyme’s being attached to the destruction and reincarnation ritual, “The Twilight Dance of Shiva.” Shiva is known as the god of destruction.
In the ritual, Shiva is encircled with roses. Then a circle of fire moves about Shiva, and mountains flatten and the Universe is burned. The idea is to dance around Shiva until you fall down from exhaustion.
You cough and wheeze “Achoo Achoo “, they all fall down.
Rock a bye baby is a song about the accidental death of an American Indian baby.
Rock-a-bye baby
In the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
In the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.
The words and lyrics to this nursery rhyme are reputed to reflect the observations of a young pilgrim boy in America who had seen Native Indian mothers suspend a birch bark cradle from the branches of a tree enabling the wind to rock the cradle and the child to sleep. There were times the boughs were too weak and the cradles would fall and break, severely injuring or killing the baby.
Native American dream catchers are intended to trap nightmares. Many parents whose children are victims of demonic harassment hang dream catchers in their children’s bedrooms in hopes of providing their children with peaceful sleep. What these parents don’t realize is that — in addition to not preventing nightmares — hanging the dream catchers will attract more spirits — perhaps even those who play the role of a “poltergeist,” “bogeyman” or a “Duende.”
Old Puritan practices of the 17th century in New England would have parents warning their children of the Incubus and succubus. Namely, sexual demons that would visit them at night and molest them. The parents of the children would encourage putting the Holy Bible kept under their pillow to prevent these beings from creating night terrors.
There are some clergy that believe that the bible becomes an occult tool when special powers are assigned to it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to use it for protection.
An old prayer offered by children is also said to ward off the dark entities that may lurk under the bed or in a closet.
Now I lay me down top sleep,
I pray the lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.
I pray the lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.
Bedtime stories of The Frog Prince, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding Hood are full of fetishism, necrophilia, and shape shifting from humans to serpents to werewolves.
The story of the Frog Prince is the childhood story of an attempted abduction of young girl by a reptilian shape shifter or shadowy figure. A creature with bulging eyes and slimy skin “frog” arrives at a time when a young girl is in distress.
The creature agrees to help her obtain a bauble of great wealth, as long as she allows the creature into her bedroom. The frog helps her, but afterward, the girl ignores the frog. The frog continues to stalk her until she finally allows him into her bedroom. Finally the “frog” changes into a handsome man. Most often he is a Prince, or a member of a royal lineage.
It was simply a tale of warning that those of Royal lineage are deceptive and abuse and abduct the poor.
The story of Little Red Riding Hood seems to be a story of an exorcism being given to a shape shifter that prefers the form of a wolf.
The shape changing wolf appears as Grandma, lying in the bed awaiting the arrival of the young virgin girl with the red hood. The girl offers wine and bread. It is symbolic of trying to get the shape-shifting creature to partake of the holy sacrament.
The entity must shift before it attacks, and so the young girl begins to notice the big teeth and large eyes protruding from Grandma’s skull. In an exchange with her “grandmother” the girl with the red hood points out how you can tell that you are in the presence of a vile creature.
There are bigger eyes that can see you, bigger hands that can hold you down and bigger teeth that can devour you.
Another question is whether or not the little red riding cap or hood belonged to a girl, or an earnest clergyman doing the work of the church in delivering a soul from the clutches of the devil?
As early as the tenth century a member of the Catholic clergy would wear a red biretta. Historically, the biretta was used by all ranks of the clergy from cardinals to deacons and priests.
If we are to believe that these unholy monsters exist, then it would take a man of God to take on the evil of a shape shifting demon that fornicates with the dead and eats their remains.
After all, the story of the hero exists in every account of contacts with these unearthly beasts.
Jesus Christ himself performed an exorcism on the demoniac of the Gerasenes, and yet his story is similar to that which was written by Homer in book 9 of the Odyssey.
Notice how the story in the Bible has been reversed.
Both Jesus and Odysseus sail to a strange land and both meet up with a villain that is possessed by some evil spirit. Polyphemus the Cyclops in the Odyssey and the demoniac in the Bible both live in caves; the demoniac in Jesus’ case lived amongst the rotting dead and had probably had intercourse with the bodies.
When the Cyclops asks the hero who he is, Odysseus says “I am nobody.” When Jesus asks the demoniac who he is, he says that his name is “Legion, for we are many.”
Both monsters feed on the animals around them. The Cyclops would feed on goats nearby and the demoniac on pigs. Did the apostle Mark read Homer and make up the story of Jesus and the demoniac?
It is quite interesting how the stories are interchangeable.
In the book The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, Father Damien Karras enters into the bedroom of the MacNeil home to talk with the little girl Regan.
Karras stops as he sees Regan on the bed, arms held down by a set of restraining straps. It seems to be no longer entirely Regan. The possession has changed her face. It is now puffy, scratched and bruised. Karras is momentarily taken aback. Then, reining in his revulsion, he slowly and warily closes the door behind him, and walks around to the other side of the bed.
He asks the girl questions.
Karras asks the girl “Are you Regan?
Regan snaps in a dark voice, “I’m the Devil! Now kindly undo these straps! ”
On the movie soundtrack, there are many ethereal voices that accompany the so called devil remarks and you can hear, in both forward and reverse, the words:
“I am no one, I am no one!”
Father Karras then asks “Where’s Regan?”
Regan and the demon reply “In here. With us.”
This, of course, is the same theme as the demoniac claiming that there are many demons inside him. The other demons saying that they are nobody.
Notice how the story is so familiar. It is an unholy simulacrum of what the Apostle Mark wrote about Jesus, what Homer wrote about Odysseus, and what was written about Little Red Riding Hood.
The character enters the dwelling of the possessed human. The human is changed into a hideous looking creature, and an exchange is given. It is acknowledged that the hero is here to destroy the demon, and later the hero is victorious.
As you can see, when you examine selected popular folk tales and children’s stories you begin to see a pattern of death, rebirth and inhumanity. They illustrate basic human problems and appropriate social prescriptions.
They tell us of the constant struggle that plagues mankind, the struggle to remain human and not succumb to the primal urges that are considered demonic.
We are told that it is all a fantasy, yet the stories are told and retold. They are programmed into us in different ways with different interpretations.
They all come from different countries, demons from every shape and belief system and our children develop a fear of the little creatures under the bed because of the probable grimdarks we subject them to.

My first magick sigil
I have become fascinated with the concept of magick. I'm not talking about illusionist that perform for entertainment, but no bullshit, I like that too.
No, I'm referring to the concept of magick. The ability to mold events in our lives using powers we can't always explain.
Recently I dabbled with a very basic magick spell. Completely harmless and simple.
I created a sigil.
My goal was also very simple. I wasn't trying to cast a spell for all the money in the world, I just wanted something small to improve in my life.
I did the ritual as prescribed, ( details on the process are easy to find), and sat back to reap the rewards.
Actually I continued living my life and forgot about the ritual completely. But it seemed to work.
So what really is this "magick"?
What makes it different than a prayer, or simply focusing on achieving a goal that we want to achieve?
I'm not completely sure, but I do believe that our subconscious mind has power to affect our reality by forces we do not understand.
When a religious faithful claims that prayer and fasting works, what are they really experiencing?
They focus their energy on an idea and the results come. Of course they might be consciencly placing the power in an unknown persons control, by submitting to God, but they get arguably good results.
What about the a non religious person who makes a "dream board" and also achieves their goal?
Humans have always found ways to use this magick, and have often enjoyed the results, but I think they really don't understand the process.
I admit I don't understand it.
However I feel there is a power of the subconscious that has yet to be explained, but is real.
My magick sigil spell worked.
My next step is to understand it.
We can all enjoy the benefits of this unseen power, I hope that there is the possibility of truly being able to fully control it.
The real power of that idea is overwhelming.
This world is much more amazing than we have been led to believe
