Quote of the Day: "If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.' - Aldous Huxley #QuoteOfTheDay #AldousHuxley #SelfKnowledge #SelfDeception

A Cure of Souls, Denise Levertov

Metempsychosis Two months old, already Across my daughter’s face Pass faces long past and dead. -Kenneth Rexroth

According to Stephen King buildings have souls. Maybe it’s an Omen type of situayion: the building turning against the ultimate evil, the AntiChrist. /s

And patient fools, Whose children he hath slain, their base throats tear With giving him glory.

"anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality" www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Walter Burkert explains why Christianity successfully beat mystical cults like Orphism to win over the Roman Empire. I think he's right. They had the infrastructure. We see this in modern Xtian fundamentalism. 1) Is he right? 2) Do modern Pagans have anything similar? substack.com/@theurgist/n...

Whatever can be used for evil can be used for good

I guess Sweeney was right: “Any man has to... Once in a lifetime, do a girl in". WTAF

If you haven't heard of this woman, you should look her up. I have her books. She documented the oligarchic kleptocacy we are now experiencing. She also documented Trump's association with Epstein. She showed the ties that Trump hasd/has with Russian mobsters.

I mean c’mon, give the kid a PhD already!

Hail Holy Goddess, mighty in power and sacred fertility. substack.com/@theurgist/n...

A circle unbroken, where all aspects converge, and the silence within deepens, revealing the eternal truth: we are all reflections of one unchanging essence. Veil of time dissolves, light unveils the source — the uncharted Self. #InfiniteReflection

No shadow binds, no fear remains, pure silence sings through endless plains. The stars unfold, their secrets near, eternal light dissolves all fear. We are the flame, the breath, the sky, the boundless soul that cannot die. All space is home—

Today I celebrate the Philomeidesion in honor of Aphrodite. Hail mighty goddess, your beauty shines on all the world as it comes into being through splendorous Necessity. You mediate union from disunion, bind the world in loving bonds so beauty reigns. The love you share echoes from the Primal Fire.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

In the old Hebrew script, the (tav) was shaped like an X, the simplest mark. Its purpose in Ezekiel was to distinguish the righteous from the rest of the population, but according to Rabbi Aha …even those marked were killed, since their silence in the face of the wicked implicated them. - Zohar 1:2

The encroaching crackdown on dissent may catch you unawares. This article provides a sober analysis of the situation, as it stands now. Knowledge is power. Understand your options. Never lose hope in your dreams of freedom. crimethinc.com/2025/09/18/m...

It’s in the open now. They’re calling for full repression and government takeover. It’s been a slow, ominous march to this point. Democratic leaders like Obama, Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi failed us. They either knew the danger and did nothing or are so blinded by their own greed they couldn’t.

Based on his experiences in Egypt, Iamblichus broadened the thought and practice of Neoplatonism and theurgy. Theurgy is about purifying one’s will and mind to be receptive to the power of the gods.... Feast of Saint Iamblichus open.substack.com/pub/theurgis...

Today, Theurgists celebrate Athena, goddess of ethical reason and warrior against evil. She brings light to the mind lost in darkness, leading the soul to determine right from wrong, good from evil. She is a most cherished emanation of Hekate-Rhea. Holy goddess, bless me with your illumination.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings… William Blake #BlueSkyMonday

And nature’s law is nothing foreign, nothing imposed; it is the pulse beneath our ribs, the rhythm of seed and star.. To uphold it is to let you fall in cadence with the greater song — to speak without fracture, to act without excess to live as one note resonating with the pulse of creation. #🩶🤎

Leibniz “…every feeling is the perception of a truth...” .

Days I am awake to both what is, in my human, and the dream nature of this world too. cracked open into truth, rawness, awake between the worlds. Here I feel embodied, wild, free, a connected path to yrs with a toltec teacher & fam in the desert, with pachamama, elements, intensity of a human story.

What we lost when Christianity murdered pagan culture… substack.com/@theurgist/n...

Of course, we have come to expect the cover up from the media. The report at nbc news sounds almost coherent. Typical Republican talking points. But his deranged other statements are whitewashed … left out … erased, so his followers will not see how looney toons this person is.

Take me Lord!

French President Emmanuel #Macron: "All lives are equally valuable. And the duty that we all have is to protect one another – a duty that is indivisible, just like our humanity.." "I declare that, today, France recognizes the State of Palestine."

People are saying Trump and his ilk have something wrong with them. Yeah, they’re pedophlies who believe they are entitled to do shit other people can’t. Just because they are rich.

Many rivers cannot quench Love, nor rivers sweep it away. If a man offered all the wealth of his house for love, they would surely scorn him. - Song of Songs 8:7

My life in the underworld One of the best descriptions of Theurgy occurs in Dante’s poem, The Divine Comedy. Hekate (as Beatrice) helps guide Dante from the demonic crossroads to the Beatific vision of the Primal Fire. Dante’s experiences are Anagogic. open.substack.com/pub/theurgis...

Today is the Autumn Equinox, Noumenia honoring the new Moon, and Deipnon, the celebration of Hekate's chthonic emanation. All Hail Thunder Mind, Demiurge of this world, Good at its core. All Hail luminous Hekate, guide of the cross-roads, great light of love and infinite compassion.

Prophetic. … the ending ties it into a nicely crooked cross doesn’t it? … MAGA in 3 mins.

Today is the Theurgic Celebration of Hene Kai Nea Today Theurgists celebrate their guardian daemons, the Great spirits who protect and guide us from birth until death unless we come under the guidance of a god. During meditation...

Way overdue. … but they’re the ones somewhat responsible for the mess, aren’t they? Never should’ve thrown their hands in the air after Begin bombed the King David Hotel. At least mase sure the Palestinians would get a fair share shake at governing the land.

Rapture week happening. Are you prepared? Where do think you’ll wind up? /s This is a real person talking about waing for the event happening this week.

Succint, direct to the point. We are ketting this person tear us apart because we can’t even agree on basic points. We need focus people.

You are invulnerable. - Jorge Luis Borges, "To Whoever Is Reading Me"

"And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky and in the mind of man;" - William Wordsworth #BookWormSat
