History is written in the blood of the conquered—and few chapters are soaked as deeply in it as the era of the witch hunts. Christians call it the Inquisition. Historians often reduce it to a footnote. Apologists minimize it with sanitized death counts and excuses of “the times.� But Witchcraze, Holy Horrors, and The Great Cosmic Mother shatter the illusion: this was not a cultural anomaly. It was a genocide. A sustained, methodical erasure of the feminine, of the earth, of autonomy, and of dissent—by fire, by torture, and by sword.

🔥DEATH TOLL DATA:Ěý

This wasn’t just religious madness. It was a campaign of domination—a holy war against the old ways, the wise women, the midwives, the herbalists, the mystics. It was the scorched-earth policy of a jealous god determined to remake the world in his image, and his Church—the enforcers.

The Witch Hunts Were a Gendered Genocide

In Witchcraze: A New History of the European Witch Hunts, Anne Llewellyn Barstow documents that as many as 100,000 women were officially executed for witchcraft between 1450 and 1750—while acknowledging the true number could be far higher. She estimates that 85% of the accused and executed were women, primarily healers, midwives, and older women who stood outside patriarchal control. Their crime? Embodying independence, wisdom, and sacred knowledge—things the emerging Christian orthodoxy could not tolerate.

Barstow lays bare the pattern: torture to extract confessions, trials stacked with impossible odds, and public executions used as spectacle to terrify the rest into submission. These were not random acts of hysteria. These were systematic acts of terror to dismantle a matriarchal heritage that predated Christianity by millennia.

And these killings weren’t confined to Europe. Witch hunts occurred across colonies—North America, Africa, and Latin America—often imported by missionaries and Christian rulers seeking to “cleanse� indigenous beliefs. The Church didn't just murder bodies. It exterminated entire ways of life.

Holy Horrors: The Theology of Butchery

James Haught’s Holy Horrors reinforces this bloody pattern. He chronicles how the Church killed not only witches but also heretics, pagans, Muslims, Jews, and “deviants� of every kind. Saint Pius V ordered the massacre of Waldensians and the slaughter of Protestants. Inquisitors tortured people into confessing to imaginary crimes, then burned them alive. Entire regions lived under fear of denunciation and execution.

One of the most infamous manuals of terror, the Malleus Maleficarum—sanctioned by the Catholic Church—encouraged the use of brutal torture to elicit confessions and painted women as inherently sinful, sexual, and spiritually weak. It legitimized a war against the feminine under the guise of purging evil.

In truth, it was not a war on evil. It was a war on women.

The Biblical Blueprint for Genocide

The blueprint for this atrocity lies in the Bible itself. Jehovah—the god of Abraham—set the tone from the beginning: destroy the unbeliever. Kill the heretic. Slaughter the Canaanites, the Amalekites, the Midianites. Rip open pregnant bellies. Dash infants on rocks. Massacre by divine command.

This genocidal theology seeped into the foundation of Christianity and found its most fervent expression in the Inquisition. But it didn’t stop there.

Because in Christian doctrine, the ultimate genocide happens after death.

Those who do not convert—pagans, witches, atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ+ people, freethinkers—will be thrown into eternal torment. Billions of souls, according to orthodoxy, are destined to suffer forever for the crime of being born into the wrong culture, the wrong belief, or the wrong body.

Hell is not just punishment. It’s mass extermination made metaphysical.

The Erasure of the Goddess and the Religion of the Earth

Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor’s The Great Cosmic Mother traces the deeper roots of this horror. They argue that the witch hunts were the culmination of a patriarchal campaign to erase Goddess-centered, Earth-honoring religions that once spanned the globe. These religions revered the womb, the moon, the cycles of nature, and the sacred role of women as life-givers and wisdom keepers.

The rise of Christianity was not just the rise of a new faith—it was a hostile takeover of spiritual sovereignty. The Earth was desacralized. The female body became shameful. Ecstatic rites were demonized. And the women who still carried the memory of the old ways were hunted down and destroyed.

In their place, the Church installed male priests, hierarchies of control, and a sky-god whose only demand was obedience. The fire that once warmed the hearth now consumed the women who lit it.

A Forgotten Holocaust

The Church downplays these atrocities as unfortunate but isolated events. They point to “bad apples,� or blame the secular authorities. But the historical record is clear: the Inquisition was Church-sanctioned. The Crusades were Pope-ordered. The witch hunts were sermon-fueled. The colonization of indigenous lands was blessed in Christ’s name.

Christianity has always thrived not by compassion, but by conquest.

In Europe: Hundreds of thousands tortured, hanged, and burned for witchcraft.

In the Americas: Over 100 million indigenous people killed or displaced in what David Stannard called the American Holocaust.

Globally: Centuries of war, slavery, cultural annihilation, and spiritual terrorism—all with biblical justification.

And if we count the damned souls in hell—according to Church theology—the death toll of Jehovah stretches into the billions.

The Unfinished Reckoning

The death toll of the witches is unknown because it was meant to be unknown. Records were burned. Confessions were coerced. Bodies were buried in shame. It wasn’t just physical death—it was cultural deletion. And the Church has never fully reckoned with its crimes.

We remember the Holocaust, and we should. But we must also remember the forgotten holocausts: the witches, the pagans, the goddesses, the heretics, the medicine women, the lovers of the Earth.

We must speak their names.

Because until we reckon with the blood-soaked legacy of Christianity’s rise to power, we will never understand the world it built—or the liberation that must come to undo it.

Throughout history, various branches of the Inquisition and widespread witch hunts claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Modern scholarly estimates are far lower than the inflated figures of popular myth. For example, the Spanish Inquisition (1478�1834) likely executed around 3,000�5,000 people (), compared to older claims in the tens or hundreds of thousands.

The Portuguese Inquisition (1536�1821) carried out approximately 1,200�2,000 executions (). The Roman Inquisition (1542�1800s) is credited with about 1,250 executions (source). The earlier Medieval Inquisition (13th�15th centuries) had imprecise records, but historians estimate several thousand executions, contrasted against the hundreds of thousands killed during associated heretic crusades ().

Meanwhile, witch hunts in Europe during the 15th�18th centuries led to an estimated 40,000�60,000 executions (), largely in German-speaking regions. In colonial North America, by contrast, only a few dozen executions occurred � about 25 people during the 1692 Salem trials, and a handful in other incidents (source).

The Medieval Inquisition (1184�15th Century)

The Medieval Inquisition began in 1184 and expanded under Pope Gregory IX. Surviving court records suggest relatively modest numbers of formal executions: for instance, Bernard Gui’s register shows only 40 executions out of 700 convictions (source).

However, when combined with events like the Albigensian Crusade (1209�1229), the total death toll rises sharply. The sack of Béziers alone saw an estimated 20,000 people massacred. Some contemporary chronicles claim up to one million Cathars were slaughtered during these efforts (), although modern historians caution that these figures are highly inflated.

In short, the official Medieval Inquisition executions are estimated at several thousand, but the broader religious violence drove the death toll far higher.

The Spanish Inquisition (1478�1834)

The Spanish Inquisition, infamous in popular imagination, executed about 3,000 to 5,000 people according to modern research ().

Historian Henry Kamen confirms a maximum of three thousand official executions. Propagandistic estimates, such as Juan Antonio Llorente’s 19th-century claim of 32,000 executions, have been largely debunked (source).

Though terrifying, the actual execution numbers were modest compared to broader European religious violence. Nonetheless, countless others died in prisons or through indirect persecution, a toll harder to quantify.

The Portuguese Inquisition (1536�1821)

The Portuguese Inquisition operated in Portugal, Brazil, and Goa. Out of about 31,450 cases, around 1,175 people were executed, with another 663 burned in effigy ().

By the end, scholars estimate 1,200 to 2,000 total executions, a relatively small figure compared to the Spanish tribunals. The Portuguese inquisitors generally showed more skepticism toward witchcraft accusations than their northern counterparts.

The Roman Inquisition (1542�19th Century)

The Roman Inquisition, under papal authority, was even less lethal. Out of 62,000 cases, only about 1,250 death sentences were handed down (source).

Unlike the Protestant world, where witch hunts raged violently, the Roman Inquisition preferred imprisonment or penance over execution. Notable exceptions like the burning of Giordano Bruno were rare.

Witch Hunts in Europe (15th�18th Centuries)

The witch hunts across Europe were far bloodier than the Inquisitions themselves. An estimated 40,000 to 60,000 people were executed for witchcraft (), with German-speaking areas being the epicenter.

Women made up about 75�85% of those executed (). The Catholic Inquisition, ironically, was often skeptical of witchcraft charges, whereas Protestant territories embraced them with deadly enthusiasm.

Witch Hunts in Colonial America (17th Century)

In colonial North America, the witch hysteria was far less deadly. The Salem witch trials (1692�1693) led to 20 executions and at least 5 jail deaths (source).

Earlier witch panics in Connecticut resulted in 11 executions. In total, around 35 people were killed during America's witch trial episodes (source).

Why Death Toll Estimates Vary

Several factors cause huge discrepancies in estimates:

Incomplete records: Many trials and killings were never documented.

Expanded definitions: Some historians include war casualties alongside tribunal deaths.

Religious propaganda: Both Catholic and Protestant writers exaggerated or minimized death tolls to serve political narratives.

Destruction of archives: Many original Inquisition records were lost, making precise counts impossible.

Different geographic/time scopes: Some totals include colonies and secular courts; others only ecclesiastical proceedings.

Modern scholars like Henry Kamen and William Rubinstein favor lower, document-based estimates, while popular imagination still clings to inflated figures fueled by centuries of myth and polemic.

Comparison of Death Toll Estimates

Medieval Inquisition (1184�15th Century)

Low Estimate: ~3,000�5,000 executions

High Estimate: ~1,000,000 deaths (including crusades)

Spanish Inquisition (1478�1834)

Low Estimate: ~3,000 executions

High Estimate: ~5,000 executions

Portuguese Inquisition (1536�1821)

Low Estimate: ~1,175 executions

High Estimate: ~1,900 executions

Roman Inquisition (1542–c.1860s)

Estimate: ~1,250 executions

Witch Hunts in Europe (15th�18th Century)

Low Estimate: ~40,000 executions

High Estimate: ~60,000 executions

Witch Hunts in the Americas (17th Century)

Low Estimate: ~25 executions

High Estimate: ~35 executions

There are books that comfort. Books that stroke your hair and whisper affirmations to the wound-child curled inside your psyche. And then there are books like The Big Black Book: Become Who You Are—a razorblade across the soft flesh of your delusions. A psychological IED detonated beneath the false personality you wear like a mask soaked in perfume and rot. Christopher Hyatt didn’t write to inspire. He wrote to dismantle. He wrote to shove you into the abyss with nothing but a mocking grin and the words: “Now build yourself.�

This book isn’t literature. It’s a trigger. A weapon. A dark mirror. And if you're honest enough to look into it without flinching, it will shatter you in the best possible way.

Who Was Christopher Hyatt? And Why Should You Care?

Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt—born Alan Miller—was a clinical psychologist turned modern magus. He earned credentials in experimental psychology, Reichian therapy, hypnosis, and bioenergetics before diving headlong into chaos magick and the left-hand path. He wasn’t interested in sterile academics. He wasn’t selling New Age snake oil. His obsession was freedom—real freedom, the kind that burns.

🔥Article Choice:

Hyatt combined the brutal honesty of psychology with the explosive volatility of occult transformation. His writings, especially under New Falcon Publications, were anti-spiritual in the best sense: not about floating above life but diving deep into it—raging, devouring, resurrecting.

The Core Premise: You Are Not Who You Think You Are

Hyatt begins with a premise most people can’t stomach: your life is a lie. Your personality? A patchwork of fears, cultural programming, and compensations for childhood trauma. You’re not “you.� You’re an echo. A puppet. A program installed by your parents, schools, religions, social media, and the thousand silent manipulations of a sick society.

But The Big Black Book doesn’t stop at critique. It forces a confrontation. Through a vicious gauntlet of psycho-magical exercises and self-inquiry techniques, Hyatt goads the reader into un-becoming—into killing the lie of themselves so that something real might crawl from the ashes.

The Work: Brutal, Personal, Unforgiving

You won’t find gentle journaling prompts here. Hyatt’s method is Reichian and chaotic. He invites you to scream. To breathe. To convulse. To break the body armor that deadens your soul. He strips you of polite self-reflection and drops you into the raw interior of your being. It’s somewhere between a magickal grimoire, a psychological boot camp, and an occult rite of passage.

There are pages of journaling that demand you to lie, then tell the truth, then question both. Exercises that leave you disoriented, naked. And that’s the point. Who are you without your stories? Without your traumas? Without your identity? If you dare answer, you're already on the path Hyatt laid bare.

Some sections instruct you to scream until you cough up blood. Others guide you through memory minefields you’ve avoided for decades. It’s ugly. It’s sacred. It’s alchemical warfare on everything that keeps you numb.

Become Who You Are: The Nietzschean Underbelly

The title itself is a provocation: Become Who You Are. A nod to Nietzsche, of course—błÜłŮ stripped of the romanticism that even modern Nietzscheans indulge. This isn’t about affirming your “true selfâ€� as if it were hiding like a glowing jewel under your trauma. Hyatt doesn't believe in a stable “true self.â€� What you are is what you become. What you create. What you destroy. What you choose in the moment when all choices are pain.

To “become who you are� is to stop lying. To drop the act. To admit your darkness, your lust, your envy, your fury. To use them. To turn your shadow into a sword and your repression into fuel. Hyatt doesn’t want you to be good. He wants you to be free—and freedom, for him, includes the liberty to be monstrous.

A Book Against the Herd

At its core, The Big Black Book is a declaration of war against herd consciousness. Hyatt’s contempt for “normal people� oozes off the page. Not out of elitism, but because he knows most people are sleepwalkers. Bioelectric zombies. They don’t live, they function. They recite ideologies they never examined. They follow paths they never chose. They vomit inherited morality without ever asking, “Whose voice is this in my head?�

This book is the cure. A violent, purgative cure for the disease of conformity. You won’t like it. But that’s the point. Hyatt doesn’t want your agreement. He wants your annihilation—followed by rebirth.

Why It Still Matters

Most spiritual books sedate you. Most self-help books infantilize you. The Big Black Book does the opposite—it electrifies your nervous system and dares you to act. In a time of algorithmic coddling and manufactured outrage, Hyatt’s work remains a brutal, necessary relic of resistance.

He doesn’t want followers. He wants individuals. Actualized, dangerous, unrepeatable individuals who have faced themselves and refused to kneel. That’s what this book is: a rebellion manual for the soul.

Not for the Faint, but for the Willing

Reading The Big Black Book is like swallowing broken glass and discovering that your throat was made of steel. It hurts. It burns. But in that burn is truth. It’s not a book for readers—it’s a book for seekers. For those who know that the persona must die if the Self is to emerge.

If you’re still addicted to being liked, don’t read it. If you still need approval, stay away. But if something in you is done—done pretending, done pleasing, done apologizing for your existence—then open the damn thing.

And let it burn.

After a 40-year spiritual odyssey—one that led me through temples, traditions, truths, and more than a few illusions—I had a human awakening in 2012.

That awakening wasn’t a love-and-light New Age fantasy. It was brutal. Clarifying. Liberating. I saw, with disturbing clarity, how much of what gets packaged as “spiritual truth� is little more than recycled fantasy layered with confirmation bias and pseudoscientific dressing. And so I launched a project that would consume the next seven years of my life: debunking the New Age.

From 2012 to 2019, I produced hundreds of YouTube videos exposing the cracks in the dogma of substance dualism—challenging out-of-body experiences, alien channeling cults, and the bastardization of quantum physics by self-appointed gurus. I pulled apart the myths, exposed the frauds, and showed how much of what people called “spiritual awakening� was often spiritual bypassing dressed in cosmic glitter.

And then� I let it go.

After closing the project in 2019, I went dark for a while. But something kept calling me back—not to the circus of New Age delusion, but to the phenomenon that wouldn’t go away. One mystery had always lingered, untouched by the usual fraud and fantasy:

Near-Death Experiences.

So I went back. I studied thousands of cases—recent and ancient. I devoured everything I could find, from clinical reports and peer-reviewed studies to mystical traditions stretching back before Christianity ever painted the afterlife in flames. I weighed the data. I analyzed the patterns. I sat with it all.

I became convinced—not through wishful thinking, but through overwhelming experiential and testimonial evidence—that when we die, we return to a home-realm more real than anything we’ve ever known here.

But I also discovered something else. Something important:

That we do not leave our bodies while alive.ĚýNot in the literal, travel-across-the-universe sense so many claim. Not during astral projection, not in out-of-body experiences, not even in drug-induced visions.

🔥Article Choice:

I've had OBEs since childhood. I know the experience. But after comparing those experiences with the testimonies of actual death, I can say this with clarity:

Out-of-body experiences are “inner-body hallucinations.�

They are real, in the sense that dreams are real. They are significant, in the sense that inner visions can transform. But they are not the same as NDEs. They arise from the rich, layered ecosystem of our inner realm—an incredible subconscious terrain that reflects symbols, trauma, archetypes, and memory.

NDEs, on the other hand, erupt when the brain flatline. When nothing should be happening, and yet something more real than life itself floods in. That’s the line. That’s the distinction. And it matters.

Keep that in mind as you move through the rest of this article. What follows isn’t an appeal to fantasy. It’s a confrontation with the evidence—raw, disorienting, and impossible to ignore.

Let’s begin.

The Death That Wasn’t Death

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are not dreams. They are not DMT trips or chemical farts of a dying cortex. They are multi-sensory, emotionally transformative, and often life-altering experiences reported by individuals who have flatlined—many with no measurable brain activity. The site has catalogued thousands of these accounts. The patterns are impossible to ignore:

Out-of-body observation (sometimes later confirmed by medical staff)

Travel through a tunnel or void toward a radiant, loving light

Telepathic communication with non-human intelligence

A “life review� where one feels their actions from the perspective of those they affected

A sense of returning “home”—not heaven, not hell. Home.

These are not isolated hallucinations—they’re collective echoes of something larger than our dying flesh. People across continents, cultures, ages, and belief systems describe the same core architecture. That is not mass delusion. That is a signal bleeding through the noise.

Science Chokes on the Mystery

I am about as pro-science as it gets, but the high priests of science still cling to the dogma of brain chemistry. To them, the brain is God—the origin and container of consciousness. So when a near-death experience rolls in, they wave their hands: “hallucination,� “oxygen deprivation,� “neurochemical fireworks.�

But what happens when the brain isn’t just dying—błÜłŮ dead? Or let’s play it safe—let’s pretend there’s a single heroic neuron hiding in some dusty corner of your grey matter, and under just the right amount of trauma and oxygen starvation, it suddenly gains the divine power to conjure entire galaxies, cosmic cities, and interdimensional beings of love and light.

Thousands of testimonies catalogued at report full-blown journeys into astonishingly vivid, complex, multilayered dimensions while the subject was clinically dead—flatlined EEGs, no cortical activity, heart stopped, gone.

And we’re not talking about some vague dream state. We’re talking about hyper-sensory realities that made waking life look like a cartoon drawn on napkins.
People describe:

Being pulled into luminous realms of light and color that defy description

Encountering intelligent beings, often without form, but radiating knowing and love

Seeing landscapes more real than Earth—crystalline cities, cosmic oceans, fields that vibrate with sound and thought

Merging with a presence that felt like the source of all existence, timeless and infinite

All while no measurable brain activity was occurring.

Let that detonate in your head:

How does a shut-down brain, a slab of meat without electrical signals, produce experiences more intense, meaningful, and complex than any moment during full consciousness?

It doesn’t. It can’t. It’s like pulling a symphony out of a speaker that’s been unplugged.

This isn’t just a crack in the foundation of neuroscience. It’s a canyon. A black hole in the theory of brain-generated consciousness. If the brain is supposed to create our inner world, how is it creating these elaborate, ineffable other worlds when it’s flatlined and cold?

The only answer that doesn’t require mental gymnastics:

The brain isn’t the origin of consciousness—it’s a receiver.ĚýĚýAnd when the receiver goes offlineâ€� consciousness doesn’t die. It unshackles.ĚýYou Are Not a Name. You Are the Universe in primate form.

Could I be wrong? Of course. Let the bells of science ring loud through the cathedrals of certainty and shatter whatever dogma I’ve picked up along the way.

No matter how convinced I am, I’d be a fool—and worse, a hypocrite—if I weren’t open to new evidence strong enough to burn this all down and rebuild something truer. Certainty without openness isn’t conviction—it’s blindness wearing a crown.

Here’s what you were never told: The identity you clutch onto—that fragile name-tag stitched to your ego—is not who you are. It’s a temporary costume.

You are not in the universe. You are the universe, momentarily frozen into form.
You are not separate from it—you are its voice, its instrument, its aperture. And the illusion of separateness? That’s the ego. That’s the glitch.

Look up. There are trillions of galaxies. Black holes pulling time itself into silence. Stars birthing worlds and dying with a whisper. And you think this all ends with the death of a hairless ape named Kyle or Karen who went to church twice a month and paid their taxes?

No. You are not the role you play. You are the light behind the eyes that watched it.

Christianity Can’t Handle the Truth

Now here’s where it burns:
The majority of NDEs contradict the foundation of Christian theology.

Where is the judgment?
Where is the hellfire for the unbeliever?
Where is the divine rage for those who refused to say the Sinner’s Prayer?

According to , countless people who never believed in Jesus report being embraced by a presence of unconditional love�not punishment. In many cases, they met a being that felt like Jesus, but this Jesus didn’t parrot scripture. He didn’t demand worship. He didn’t condemn.

Some NDEs report Jesus showing everyone love, regardless of faith. Others meet entities they believed in—Hindus seeing Krishna-like beings, atheists encountering the light itself, agnostics returning in tears because they remembered who they really were. That should be impossible if Christianity was the only truth. But it’s not impossible. Because Christianity is a cage—and NDEs blow the door off its hinges.

Hell is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy—Not a Place

Here's another hard truth the Church will never admit:

Christians are statistically more likely to experience hellish NDEs than nonbelievers. Why? Because their minds have been marinated in fear, guilt, and shame from birth.Ěý

hey were raised on visions of burning lakes and eternal separation. So when their consciousness unhooks from the body, the subconscious scripts the scenery.

It’s a trauma loop masquerading as divine judgment.

Conversely, atheists and spiritually open individuals who don’t believe in hell almost never encounter it. Their minds are not wired for damnation. They're not expecting it, fearing it, or projecting it.

Let that sink in:

Hell is not a place. It’s a psychic echo chamber built by indoctrination and inherited terror.

What NDEs Really Reveal

These experiences don’t confirm religion. They unmake it. They point to a boundless source, an intelligent field of consciousness where judgment is replaced by understanding, and fear is dissolved in love.

They expose the great Christian lie: that worth must be earned, that salvation must be bought, that you were born broken and need to be saved. What the dying show us is this: you were never separate from the divine in the first place.

What the Evidence Actually Says

If we’re going to go all-in based on available evidence—the testimonies, the contradictions, the absurdity of materialist explanations, and the bleeding edge of consciousness research—then here’s the unfiltered truth:

It is far more likely that we are immortal beings having a human experience than hairless apes destined for blackout.

Let’s lay it bare:

Thousands of NDEs across cultures describe the same archetypal experience: leaving the body, entering a realm more real than Earth, being received by beings of light, and feeling a profound sense of returning home—not hallucinating into oblivion.

These experiences often happen during flatlined brain states—where, by scientific standards, there should be nothing. No perception. No memory. No sense of self. And yet what people describe is deeper, richer, and more intelligent than any drug, dream, or waking state.

People return with information they couldn’t have known, changes in personality, values, and behavior that last for decades. Not the mark of a chemical blip. The mark of a soul that just remembered where it came from.

The universe itself is a cathedral of scale and complexity�trillions of galaxies birthing stars, devouring time through black holes, echoing with mysteries we haven't even named. To say this all ends with the last breath of a carbon-based primate is not just lazy—it’s insulting to the data.

The materialist model says you are a freak accident, a fluke of evolution, a meat puppet with anxiety, desire, and a death sentence.
The trans-conscious model says you are the universe waking up inside itself, playing human for a while, forgetting the game—until death pulls the curtain.

So let’s be blunt. The blackout theory—the idea that consciousness simply flickers out like a dying bulb—is losing ground. And not just among mystics or spiritual seekers, but even in corners of science brave enough to admit that the old model doesn’t hold. It takes more denial, more mental gymnastics, and far more fear to cling to the belief in absolute nothingness than to consider the growing mountain of evidence suggesting we are something more—something the brain does not contain, but channels.

We are not our names. We are not the roles we play, the jobs we work, or the masks we wear to survive society. We are not just animated meat counting down to decay. Beneath all that noise, we are it—the light behind the eyes, the silence beneath the thoughts, the witness, the dreamer, the presence that never dies.

And one day, when the body finally gives out and drops like worn-out clothing, you won’t vanish into darkness. You won’t black out.
You’ll wake up.

At least, that’s where I stand—until the evidence convinces me otherwise.

There’s a moment in every seeker’s life where something breaks—internally, irrevocably. Prayer collapses into empty noise. Rituals turn hollow. Traditions begin to stink of mold and control. You start to see the sacred scripts of religion and spirituality for what they often are: old stories, passed down by frightened primates desperate to impose meaning on a universe that doesn’t owe us any.

Most people, when they reach that edge, run back into the nearest cage that smells like safety. They’d rather kneel in a familiar prison than walk into the unknown as a sovereign being. But for the few who don’t run—who let the floor drop and choose to fall�Chaos Magick is what greets you at the bottom.

It isn’t just another form of magick. It’s a revolt against meaning itself. It doesn’t polish symbols—it weaponizes them. It doesn't pray to gods—it creates them. It doesn’t ask you to believe. It dares you to use belief like a knife.

This is post-religion sorcery. It’s not about worship. It’s about power. And if you want that power, you’ll have to kill your gods—or worse, make them serve you.

Self-Deification: The True Self Beneath the Shame

To become a god doesn’t mean ruling the cosmos or casting lightning from the sky. It means self-deification—the radical act of reclaiming your inner throne. It’s the awakening of your true self: the core of your being, the axis of your inner realm, the living presence that organized religion has spent millennia burying beneath layers of guilt, fear, shame, and obedience.

🔥Article Choice:Ěý

The god you’ve been seeking was never in the sky—it’s the Self at the center of your psychic universe. Not arrogance. Not narcissism. Not an inflated ego desperate for worship. But the authentic expression of the cosmos—born into human form, carrying the divine blueprint not as myth, but as embodiment.

Religion teaches you to exile this force. To project it outward, into the clouds, and then bow to the hollow construct you created. But the gods have always been reflections of you—mirrors forged from your potential, shaped by your shadow, your strength, your fire. To claim that is not delusion—it’s liberation.

The true Self has its own orbit. And when you begin to live from that place, the false self—the one built on fear, sin, people-pleasing, and inherited shame—starts to disintegrate. This is not spiritual vanity. It’s not ego inflation. It’s the restoration of what you were born with: a Self that is whole, wild, sovereign, and unapologetically divine.

The Heretic Who Lit the First Match

Before the term Chaos Magick existed, Austin Osman Spare was already living it. While other occultists were drowning in ceremonial pageantry, Spare was carving sigils into the walls of his subconscious and diving into trance states with a savage sense of purpose. He didn’t care about Hebrew names or angelic hierarchies. He cared about results.

Spare understood something that most modern mystics still fail to grasp: the conscious mind is a liar, a guard dog for the ego. The real magic—the raw, untamed power—lives in the unconscious. And to speak to it, you don’t use logic or scripture. You speak in symbol, trance, sex, madness, silence, fear. Then you forget. You let it take root in the soil of psyche and grow in the dark.

He called it the Alphabet of Desire—a system that gave birth to one of the most potent tools in all modern magick: the sigil. And through it, he flipped the script from religion to rebellion.

Chaos Rises from the Ashes of Order

By the 1970s, the occult world had calcified. The Golden Dawn was a husk. Thelema had become a cult of personality wrapped in hierarchies and inherited robes. What passed for magick had become a religion again, bound by rules, order, dogma.

So Peter J. Carroll and Ray Sherwin lit a match and burned it all down.

They founded the Illuminates of Thanateros, not as a church but as a laboratory—where magicians didn’t worship the old ways, they tore them apart. Their core tenet? Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

That’s not just a slogan. It’s the nuclear core of Chaos Magick. If belief is plastic, then all systems—religious, magical, psychological—are just masks you can wear, bend, or discard. The gods are tools. The rituals are theater. The only thing that matters is will.

Then came Phil Hine, who dragged it down from the ivory tower and into your living room. His books Condensed Chaos and Prime Chaos weren’t spiritual texts—they were weapons manuals. No mystification. No sanctimony. Just the raw tools to blow holes in your personal reality and rebuild from the inside out.

Sigils: Hacking the Unconscious

A sigil isn’t a prayer. It isn’t a sacred glyph. It’s a bullet made of belief, fired directly into the subconscious mind.

You take your desire—clear, precise, present-tense—and you encode it into a symbol. You distort it, abstract it, make it alien enough to bypass the inner critic. Then you charge it. Through orgasm. Through trance. Through stillness or pain. Whatever brings you to the edge where ego dissolves and something deeper takes over.

And then—crucially—you forget it.

You bury it in the dark soil of the unconscious and walk away. That’s where the magick happens—not in repetition or faith, but in release. The sigil takes root, like a virus designed to rewrite your internal code. You’re not asking the universe for permission. You’re reprogramming yourself to become the thing you willed.

This is how you reprogram reality from the inside out:

Write your will: One sentence. Present tense. “I am confident.� “I attract power.� “I destroy self-sabotage.�

Eliminate repeating letters.

Create a symbol from the leftovers. Let it look alien. Let it feel strange.

Charge it in altered consciousness:

Orgasm

Pain

Breathlessness

Terror

Trance

Stillness

Forget it. Don’t obsess. Don’t hope. Let it rot and root in the shadows.

This isn’t wishcraft. This is psychic malware written in desire and executed through trance. You’re not casting a spell. You are the spell.

Servitors: Building Spirits That Obey

If a sigil is a psychic bullet, a servitor is a loaded gun you build from scratch.

A servitor is a spirit you create. Not summoned, not inheritedâ€�created. It has a name, a purpose, a form, and a will—błÜłŮ that will is yours, embedded and animated through ritual, intention, and imagination.

You design its purpose with surgical clarity. You give it a symbol, a body, a home—a place in your psyche or even a physical anchor in your space. You charge it like a battery with emotion and attention. You feed it energy. You send it out with a task. And when it’s done, you either thank it and release it—or destroy it and reclaim the power.

Here’s how to create your own demon—or guardian—or weapon:

Define its purpose: Clear. Precise. “Protect my sleep.� “Attract clients.� “Destroy anxiety triggers.�

Give it form: A sigil. A name. A drawing. A digital avatar. Whatever gives it presence.

Craft its personality: Silent killer? Loyal scout? Mischievous whisperer? You decide.

Birth it through ritual: Use trance, emotion, chaos, or climax to give it life.

Assign it a vessel: A candle. A USB stick. A pendant. A box. A notebook page.

Feed it: Attention, energy, results.

Dissolve it: When it’s done, destroy the sigil. Reabsorb the energy. Release it back into the void.

A servitor is not a pet. It’s not a god.
It’s a psychic tool that obeys its creator.

And here's the truth no one wants to say...

Jesus Is a Servitor—They Just Don’t Know It

Let’s drop the polite lies.

Every Sunday, Christians gather to invoke a collective thoughtform—a psychic servitor named Jesus. He’s been charged for centuries by emotion, suffering, love, fear, longing. He’s been shaped by dogma, liturgy, art, and cultural mythology. He’s called upon to bless, punish, guide, protect.

They chant his name. Wear his symbol. Visualize his face. They assign him rules, personality, authority. He exists not because he was historically real—błÜłŮ because they believe he is.

That’s a servitor. A psychic entity powered by collective belief and emotional intensity.

The irony is sharp: Christians will sneer at chaos magicians who build their own spirits to destroy addiction or attract success—while they themselves have been doing it for generations, unknowingly, in stained glass and song.

They call it salvation. We call it what it is: magick.

Reality Tunneling: Becoming the Monster and the God

Chaos Magick doesn’t stop at spells. It turns inward and blows up the idea of self. It gives you the tools to reprogram identity itself.

Reality tunnels are not philosophies. They’re identity hacks. You become a different person—not in theory, but in lived behavior, ritual, and perspective. You shift your internal framework so profoundly that the world starts reacting differently to you.

One week you’re the stoic. The next, the destroyer. The week after that, a sacred clown or a tantric mystic. You become the warrior, the shadow, the trickster, the king, the lover. You step into these roles with intention. You embody them until they rewrite your nervous system.

This isn’t play-acting. It’s ritual possession by archetypes you choose. And every tunnel you walk rewires the brain, mutates the self, and reshapes the world you wake up in.

Chaos Magick doesn’t stop at altering reality.
It alters you.
It teaches you to treat identity like a costume, not a commandment.

Reality Tunneling is the practice of shifting belief systems, personas, and worldviews like changing skins—until the real you is revealed as a shapeshifter with no center but pure will.

Try these tunnels:

The Warrior � pure focus, no emotion, action above all.

The Shadow � embrace what you repress. Let it rise.

The Trickster � bend rules, twist perception, subvert everything.

The Destroyer � slash the dead roots. Burn your past.

The Lover � become beauty, seduction, sensual flow.

Every tunnel teaches you. Every identity leaves a scar. You deconstruct the self, and build a new one�on purpose.

Archetype Invocation: Channeling Symbol into Flesh

The gods are not in the sky. They’re in your blood. Your dreams. Your neuroses. Your fantasies.

When you invoke an archetype, you’re not calling on a distant being—you’re unlocking a pattern buried in your psychic core and letting it take the wheel. You become the archetype. You dress like it. Move like it. Speak with its voice. And you do this not to please it, but to extract its fire and make it your own.

You don’t need to believe in Kali, Lilith, Thoth, or Batman. You need to feel their symbolic gravity. The unconscious doesn’t care about theology—it only cares about power. So use what works. Gods. Fictional characters. Mythical beasts. All are masks for forces waiting to be embodied.

This is not worship. It’s possession by choice.

You don’t need to believe in a god to become one.
The unconscious doesn’t care what’s “real.� It responds to symbolic gravity.

That’s what archetype invocation is.
It’s not roleplay. It’s possession by design.

Step into:

Kali to annihilate your attachments and resurrect raw.

Thoth to channel ruthless clarity and intellectual fire.

Lilith to own your sexual sovereignty and cosmic defiance.

Batman to silence fear and become relentless precision.

Cthulhu to summon the deep, irrational, terrifying genius inside.

You dress like them. Speak their names. Move like them.
Not to worship—błÜłŮ to fuse.
You inhale their essence until they speak through your blood.

This Isn’t Religion. It’s a Rebellion of the Soul.

Chaos Magick isn’t here to make you holy. It’s not here to make you comfortable. It’s here to tear you open, feed your illusions to the fire, and remind you that the only real law is the one you write in blood and breath and will.

This isn’t about kneeling. It’s about standing up in the storm.
This isn’t about praying. It’s about speaking the unspeakable into being.

So draw the sigil.
Build the servitor.
Walk the tunnel.
Invoke the god.

And when the world asks you who gave you the right�

You answer: I did.

In debate after debate, Andrew Wilson of The Crucible repeats the same core claim: feminism is to blame for the falling birthrate in America and the decline of the traditional family. To him, the answer is simple�women abandoned the home, chased independence, and turned away from their duty to marry young and raise children.

As a devout Orthodox Christian with extreme traditionalist values, Wilson calls for a return to patriarchy as the only salvation from what he sees as societal collapse.

But is any of this actually true?

Does the data support the idea that feminism broke society? Or is Wilson simply projecting a religious fantasy onto a complex modern reality?

🔥Article Choice:Ěý

This article dives deep into Wilson's anti-feminist claims�analyzing the facts, the distortions, and the dangers of building a worldview around a mythologized past.

The Core Claim: Feminism Caused the Birthrate Crisis

Wilson argues that since the rise of feminism in the 20th century, women have strayed from their "natural role" as mothers and wives. He says that by delaying childbirth into their 30s, pursuing education and careers, and asserting independence, women are skipping their prime reproductive years and causing a demographic crisis.

“Women should be having children in their late teens and early 20s,� he says. “Waiting until your 30s is too late.�

Let’s break this down.

łŰ±đ˛őâ€�birthrates are declining. The U.S. fertility rate dropped to 1.6 children per woman in 2023—well below the 2.1 replacement level.

łŰ±đ˛őâ€�the average age of first-time mothers has risen from 21 in 1970 to over 27 today.

But is feminism to blame?

No. The reality is more complex:

Economic insecurity.
Skyrocketing housing and healthcare costs.
Lack of affordable childcare.

Feminism didn’t remove motherhood—it gave women options. It allowed women to decide when and if they wanted to become mothers—not to be trapped into it by economic dependence or religious dogma.

These are the real forces driving the decline.ĚýMany couples want children but feel they can’t afford them.Ěý

Stepdads, Abuse, and Cherry-Picked Fear

Wilson also claims that single mothers choosing stepfathers is a major source of child abuse. While it’s true that children in households with unrelated adults may face greater risks, the full picture is much more nuanced.

That risk is often tied to poverty, instability, and lack of support systems—not simply the presence of a stepfather.

Many stepfathers are loving, responsible, and protective. It’s not the role that creates harm—it’s the individual, the environment, the systemic neglect.

Wilson takes extreme cases and uses them to paint all non-traditional families as dangerous. That’s not truth. That’s emotional manipulation wrapped in moral panic.

Should Unhappy Couples Stay Together "For the Kids"?

Wilson has argued that couples should stay together even if they dislike each other—because it’s better for the children than divorce. He mocks emotional fulfillment as selfish, even hedonistic.

But let’s talk evidence.

Studies show: high-conflict homes can be more harmful to children than divorce.

Kids raised in households of tension, coldness, or contempt often carry deep emotional scars into adulthood. Staying together in misery doesn’t protect children—it models dysfunction.

Supporting people to leave toxic relationships isn’t “moral decay.� It’s evolutionary growth. It’s valuing emotional health, self-realization, and generational healing.

Divorce, Female Independence, and The "Virgin 1950s"

Wilson blames feminism for “making women too independent� and too willing to file for divorce. He notes that women initiate most divorces and calls it a symptom of cultural decay.

The implication: women are destroying the family unit.

But here’s the truth:

Women leave because they’re exhausted—doing the majority of emotional labor, childrearing, and working jobs.

They leave because their needs aren’t being met—physically, emotionally, spiritually.

They leave because they can. Financial independence means they no longer have to endure emotional starvation or abuse.

That’s not family destruction. That’s progress.

The Fantasy of the 1950s

Wilson loves to romanticize the 1950s. To him, it was a golden age:

95% of women were virgins before marriage

One-income households

Low crime rates

Stable nuclear families

“Mental health was better�

But this is revisionist mythology.

In the real 1950s:

Women couldn’t open a bank account without a husband’s permission

Domestic abuse was normalized and ignored

Mental illness was hidden, shamed, or institutionalized

LGBTQ identities were criminalized and erased

Marriages lasted—not because they were healthy—błÜłŮ because there were no options

That’s not a golden age. That’s a gilded cage.

Should We Move Women Back Into the Home?

Wilson says it outright: If women don’t prioritize motherhood and home life, society will collapse.

But let’s look at the facts.

Countries like Sweden, Norway, and France have higher or stable birthrates without forcing women back into domestic submission. What do they do instead?

They invest in:

Universal childcare

Paid parental leave

Affordable healthcare

Flexible work policies

Gender equality

These nations support families structurally, not ideologically. That’s how you raise children and uphold human dignity.

The Public School vs. Catholic Church Claim

Wilson also claims that children are 100x more likely to be sexually assaulted in public schools than in Catholic churches.

This is a dangerous, baseless claim.

The truth:

Public schools are mandated to report and investigate abuse.

The Catholic Church covered up systemic abuse for decades, silencing victims and protecting predators.

Weaponizing child safety to shame women back into submission isn’t just wrong—it’s morally repugnant.

Feminism Isn’t the Enemy. It’s the Evolution.

Wilson’s war on feminism isn’t based on data—it’s based on fear.
The fear of feminine autonomy. The fear of societal change. The fear of losing control.

Feminism didn’t destroy the family. It redefined it.

It said:

No to abuse.

No to forced domesticity.

No to emotional starvation.

Yes to choice.

Yes to growth.

Yes to becoming fully human.

If birthrates are falling, the solution isn’t to shove women back into a 1950s fantasy.

It’s to build a future where love, freedom, parenting, and equality can thrive—together.

I’ve long held a disdain for the whitewashed stories force-fed to us by the Christian Church. Their god is a genocidal tyrant, their scriptures a curated weapon of empire, and their history a trail of blood disguised as salvation. But some cracks in the concrete of their illusion run deeper than others. Few have disturbed the bedrock of our manufactured history as fiercely as The Dragon Legacy: The Secret History of an Ancient Bloodline by Nicholas de Vere.

His work—when paired with Michael Tsarion’s The Irish Origins of Civilization and Gerald Gardner’s Realm of the Ring Lords—forms a kind of forbidden trinity. Together, they tear the mask off a civilization that never died, only went into hiding: the realm of the Dragon kings, Elven sovereigns, and grail-blooded priest-kings. The ancient world that Christianity did not simply oppose—it obliterated.

De Vere isn’t writing from theory. He’s writing from memory—ancestral memory—tracing a lineage soaked not in metaphor but in blood. And what he reveals is nothing short of a war against the original sovereigns of Earth—an elite bloodline erased by holy war and buried under crosses.

The Forgotten Kings of the Earth

De Vere pulls no punches. His claim is as audacious as it is compelling: that an ancient race known as the Deresthai, birthed in the Carpathian Mountains near Transylvania, seeded the world with their blood and wisdom. These were the original Dragon Kings—serpent-blooded rulers, often remembered as gods, fae, or elves.

🔥Article Choice:

This Dragon lineage—genetically distinct, psychically potent, and spiritually advanced—was the origin of the Scythians, who would go on to shape the cultures of Sumer, Egypt, and Europe. The Pharaohs of Egypt? Dragon-blooded. The Merovingian kings of France? Same bloodline. The Holy Grail? Not a cup, but a womb. A bloodline.

Their rituals were ancient. Their minds were illuminated. And their existence was violently erased by the dogma of Rome.

The Elven Kings and the Serpent Wisdom

According to de Vere, these were not just rulers—they were a different species altogether. The Elven archetype, immortalized in lore and legend, wasn’t fiction. These were real beings, with large pineal glands, heightened perception, and direct access to ancestral realms. They built barrows, ziggurats, and pyramids—not as tombs, but as living gateways to communicate with their dead and the Otherworld.

They were the serpent sages, the keepers of the Dragon current, and they carried a divine spark in their blood—something the Christian world would later call "heresy" because it rendered their salvation narrative obsolete.

The Dragon kings didn’t kneel to Yahweh. They were sovereign unto themselves.

Blood is Sovereignty: The Real Meaning of the Grail

In this worldview, blood isn’t just ancestry—it’s alchemical. De Vere hammers the point: sovereignty is biological. You don’t just become a king—you are born of a lineage that holds the spark of spiritual royalty. This is the true Grail secret.

The blood of the Dragon kings carried not only political legitimacy but mystical potency. This is why so many rituals involved blood-sharing—not out of barbarism, but to preserve the energetic purity and psychic power of the lineage.

Grail maidens and Dragon princes didn’t perform symbolic marriages—they entered sacred alchemical unions to keep the Current alive. Christianity called it sin. But it was sovereignty.

Rome’s War on the Dragon

And here’s where the iron fist of the Church crushes the serpent.

Rome, via the Vatican, launched a spiritual genocide. The "Donation of Constantine" (a forged document, mind you) was used to grant the Church power to appoint monarchs, severing the organic link between Dragon blood and sovereign rule. With this fraudulent pen stroke, the Church dethroned the rightful heirs of Earth and installed puppet kings in their place.

The Merovingians, last vestiges of the Elven bloodline in France, were betrayed and dismantled. The Templars were burned. The Cathars were exterminated. What followed was a thousand-year darkness where alchemy, gnosis, and the sacred feminine were hunted like animals.

The Church knew exactly what it was doing. This was not ignorance. It was extermination.

Vampires, Misconstrued

One of the most controversial chapters in de Vere’s book touches on vampirism—and he doesn’t mean gothic cosplay. He claims that the ancient Dragon kings practiced a form of sacred blood communion—consensual and deeply spiritual—that has been distorted into grotesque caricature.

The vampire, in its original form, was a metaphor for the immortal sovereign—one who partakes of life-force and memory through blood. Modern pop culture turned this into a monstrous predator. Christianity weaponized it as demonic propaganda. But the truth, as always, is far stranger and far more dangerous to institutional power.

The Inquisition, and the Last Priestesses of the Dragon

And then there were the witches.

De Vere doesn’t let this lie in mystery. He names it: the persecution of witches wasn’t random hysteria. It was a calculated purge. A continuation of the Church’s war against the Dragon legacy—specifically, the sacred feminine line that carried its memory and magic.

The so-called witches burned at the stake were often descendants of the Dragon priest-kings and Druidic queens, carrying within their bodies the forgotten rites, bloodlines, and wisdom that once tethered Earth and cosmos. Many were healers, midwives, seers—keepers of gnosis passed down through oral tradition, trance, and ritual.

Their roots stretched all the way back to the messianic bloodline—theĚýrealĚýone. Not the distorted Christian fantasy of a virgin-born savior nailed to a tree, but the ancient royal lineage tied to the Anunnaki, the Tuatha DĂ© Danann, and the Druids of the British Isles. These women weren’t casting random spells in forests. They were preserving remnants of the most powerful spiritual technology Earth has ever known.

The Inquisition was the Church’s final assault on the Dragon’s daughters. And it was merciless.

Under the guise of purging sin, they tortured, raped, and incinerated the last priestesses of the Old World. They did it to erase memory. They did it to sever the lineage. And they did it to ensure that no woman ever again stood in sovereign power beside a Dragon King.

But the memory is returning. The flame is still burning in the blood of those who remember.

Esoteric Practice Isn’t for Everyone

De Vere doesn’t pander. He makes it clear that the magic practiced by the Dragon lineage was effective because of their bloodline. The rituals weren’t symbolic. They were genetic. This is a slap in the face to modern occultists who think waving a wand and lighting candles can replace centuries of spiritual ancestry.

His critique is brutal: if you don’t carry the Current, you’re playing dress-up in someone else’s temple. Harsh? Yes. But it’s consistent with a worldview where spirit and DNA are intertwined. The real magic isn’t in the spell—it’s in the blood.

Restoring the Hidden Kingdom

So what do we do with this knowledge?

That depends on how deep your hunger for truth really goes. De Vere’s work is not for the easily offended or the politically correct. It calls for a complete unlearning of what we think civilization is. It exposes the Christian Church as a usurping empire of mind control and spiritual theft. It tears down the lie that sovereignty comes from divine appointment through papal blessing—and restores it to its rightful owners: the children of the Dragon.

The Dragon Legacy is more than a book. It’s a declaration of war against spiritual amnesia. It demands that we remember—not just intellectually, but in our blood. Coupled with the myth-shattering research of Michael Tsarion and the epic recovery of ancient gnosis in Gardner’s work, this book unearths a hidden history that, once seen, cannot be unseen.

This isn’t fantasy. This is what was stolen.

And I, for one, will never bow to the thief.

Tomorrow is Easter—a day when millions of devout Christians flood their churches, mouths filled with hymns, eyes gazing upward in blind adoration, utterly oblivious to the uncomfortable reality beneath their feet. Easter, that sacred Christian event supposedly celebrating the resurrection of a carpenter turned deity, is nothing more than a stolen, hijacked pagan holiday—a calculated theft carried out by an authoritarian institution hell-bent on eradicating older, wiser truths.

Pagan Roots: Earth, Fertility, and Life’s Raw Cycle

Long before the crucifixion myth was peddled door-to-door by zealous missionaries, ancient pagan cultures celebrated the raw and visceral rebirth of spring. The very name "Easter" is derived directly from the goddess Ēostre (Ostara), revered by ancient Germanic peoples. She symbolized the dawn itself—fertility, regeneration, and life’s relentless renewal. Rabbits and eggs—now cute Easter accessories—were powerful pagan symbols of fertility and the unyielding cycle of life.

🔥Article Choice:

Pagans celebrated this cycle through rituals that embraced the earth, fertility, and nature’s raw power. There was no talk of sin or salvation, only the profound recognition of life’s unstoppable momentum. The earth awakened from its death-like winter slumber, a miracle far more tangible than the resurrection of an obscure figure lacking any historical credibility.

Christianity’s Cultural Piracy: Rebranding Ancient Wisdom

As Christianity spread like a cancerous imperial force across Europe, it methodically hijacked pagan rituals, traditions, and celebrations. The Church’s game was transparent: appropriate deeply rooted cultural events, rebrand them under a Christian façade, and thus secure a smoother assimilation into their authoritarian belief system.

Easter became a prime target for this spiritual robbery. Early church authorities conveniently aligned their fabricated story of Jesus’s resurrection with the ancient pagan celebrations of spring. This was no divine inspiration; it was cynical manipulation—a calculated effort to dominate pagan minds by subsuming their beliefs into a new, oppressive narrative.

The Historical Fiction of Jesus� Resurrection

The centerpiece of Christian Easter—the supposed crucifixion and resurrection—is a glaring historical fiction. Despite meticulous Roman record-keeping, which documented every major and minor event, trial, or execution, there is zero record of Jesus’s supposed execution. The Romans, known for their detailed bureaucratic rigor, somehow missed documenting what Christians claim was history’s greatest miracle.

Furthermore, the approximately 600,000 residents of Judea at the time curiously failed to mention this extraordinary event. Not one contemporary historian—no Josephus, no Philo, no Justus of Tiberias—ever documented a single miracle-working messiah who could raise the dead or feed thousands with scraps. Silence speaks louder than the manufactured verses of religious propagandists.

Resurrection: A Stolen Myth

The resurrection narrative itself is nothing original. Christianity borrowed liberally from existing myths: the dying and rising gods, a widespread motif throughout the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. Osiris in Egypt, Tammuz in Mesopotamia, Adonis in Greece, Attis in Phrygia—all predate Christianity by centuries, embodying the eternal, cyclical renewal of life and death.

This pattern was not revelation—it was theft. Christianity’s foundational miracle isn’t divine; it’s plagiarized myth-making, a cynical rewriting of pagan traditions to establish theological dominance.

The Blind Hypocrisy of Modern Christians

Today, Christians comfortably participate in egg hunts, decorate their homes with rabbits, and celebrate Easter Sunday in blissful ignorance. These pagan symbols—once sacred representations of fertility—are now sanitized consumer commodities. Ironically, the same Christians who demonize paganism embrace these rituals without question.

The Church sermonizes against the "sinful" nature of paganism while simultaneously perpetuating a holiday entirely rooted in it. This hypocrisy is not accidental—it’s woven into the very fabric of Christianity, a faith built upon historical distortions, cultural robbery, and authoritarian deceit.

Awakening to Truth

As Christians gather tomorrow, perhaps it’s time they confronted the raw reality: Easter isn't a holy day—it’s a stolen pagan festival cloaked in religious fiction. A day originally meant to honor the earth’s natural rebirth is now twisted into the worship of an invented resurrection. Yet, if believers dared to look beneath the fabricated surface, they'd find something richer—an authentic connection to life, to the earth, and to the timeless rhythms humanity recognized long before the Church imposed its fictional narratives.

Easter should be reclaimed—not as a hollow spectacle celebrating historical fiction, but as a profound acknowledgment of nature’s enduring truth: life, death, and rebirth are eternal cycles, requiring no divine validation, no authoritarian approval, and certainly no stolen mythologies.

Christians are chronic liars because they believe a lie, and tell lies about the lie.

Whenever critics of religion are cornered with the brutal historical record of the Church—its inquisitions, witch hunts, colonizations, and holy wars—there’s a familiar move that emerges from the Christian apologist’s playbook:

“What about Stalin? What about Mao? What about Pol Pot?�

They recite a list of atrocities supposedly committed in the name of atheism, as if these mass killings somehow balance the cosmic scales. It’s a rhetorical trick. Sleight of hand. The implication is that atheism has blood on its hands too—perhaps more than religion.

But let’s stop playing these games and stare the body count in the face.

Let’s Set the Record Straight

The accusation is simple: without God, there is no morality. And when atheists rule, genocide follows.

But this argument is not only historically illiterate—it’s a distortion of reality that requires serious intellectual deconstruction.

Let’s dive in.

The False Equivalence: Atheism = Communism

Let’s tear this illusion apart at the roots.

Atheism is not an ideology. It is not a belief system. It is not a moral code. It does not instruct anyone to do anything. It is simply the absence of belief in a god or gods. That’s it.

There’s no sacred book. No priesthood. No promised land. No holy war. No divine law handed down by a celestial dictator. There are no atheistic commandments to follow, no sins to confess, no rituals to perform to be “saved.� Atheism doesn’t demand belief in evolution, humanism, rationality, science, or skepticism. It doesn’t even demand disbelief—it is just the default position when evidence is absent and mythology fails.

To claim that Stalin killed in the name of atheism is as intellectually bankrupt as saying he killed in the name of not believing in Zeus. It is like blaming the absence of golf clubs for breaking a window. It’s a category error—a deliberate one, designed to deflect guilt.

This is the bait-and-switch Christian apologists love to perform. They want to equate atheism with a structured, dogmatic worldview like Christianity—because that’s all they know. They can’t imagine a moral framework that isn’t handed down from a throne. They can’t comprehend a life of meaning that doesn’t orbit around divine command. So they project their worldview onto others and fabricate a false equivalence:

“No God? Then anything goes.�

Wrong.

What these regimes shared was not atheism. What they shared was absolutism, authoritarian control, and ideological possession. They didn’t remove religion—they built new religions around themselves. They didn’t kill because they believed nothing—they killed because they believed too much.

They constructed cultic systems of worship and terror:

The Party became the infallible church.

The Leader became the Messiah.

The ideological text became the new Scripture.

Thoughtcrime became heresy.

Purges became inquisitions.

Obedience became salvation.

This is not secularism. It’s not skepticism. It’s religion in drag, cloaked in political theater instead of divine robes. The State became God. Dissent became heresy. Purity replaced nuance. This is how totalitarianism works: by mimicking religion's structure while stripping out its mythology and replacing it with political fantasy.

And let’s be clear: atheism, by definition, lacks the machinery to demand blood. It has no utopia to impose, no commandments to enforce, no cosmic sin to avenge. It is not a club. It is not a belief in the absence of gods—it is simply the absence of belief in them.

You want to blame someone? Blame the system. Blame the cult of personality. Blame the ideology that made itself sacred.

But don’t blame atheism for the sins of people who built a new religion out of flags, slogans, and fear.

The “State as Religion� Cults

They didn’t kill because they were atheists.

They killed because they were religious about power.

Christian Genocide: A Mirror No One Wants to Hold

So let’s stop pretending atheism invented mass murder.

Let’s stack the numbers.

Genocide and Murder in the Bible

The Great Flood: All humans except one family drowned (Genesis)

Canaanite Conquests: Cities burned, infants slaughtered by divine command

Plagues and Slaughters: Egypt, Midianites, Amalekites—every enemy of Yahweh is murdered

Death Tolls in Scripture (approx): 2.4 million directly commanded or endorsed by God

Christian Institutional Atrocities

The Inquisition: Hundreds of thousands tortured and executed (many never reported)

The Crusades: Estimates range from 1�3 million killed

European Witch Hunts: Tens of thousands burned alive. (many never reported)

The Colonization of the Americas:

The largest genocide in human history

50�100 million Indigenous people killed across North and South America

Justified by Papal Bulls and the Doctrine of Discovery, endorsed by Popes and missionaries

And let’s not forget the Catholic Church’s complicity with fascist regimes, or the Christian justification of slavery, apartheid, and the violent subjugation of women for over a thousand years.

Hell: The Final Genocide

This is the moment where the hypocrisy becomes cosmic.

Christians argue that atheism leads to mass murder—yet they worship a God who has promised to cast billions into eternal conscious torment for not believing in him.

Let’s run the numbers.

There are approximately 2.4 billion Christians in the world today.

The global population is 8 billion.

That leaves 5.6 billion souls who—according to orthodox Christian doctrine—are destined for eternal suffering in hell.

Not torture for a day. Not for a century. Forever.

That’s not just a genocide. That is an infinite holocaust.

No dictator has ever dreamed of such a totalitarian punishment. Even the worst regimes in human history stop when you die. But in Christianity, death is just the beginning of God’s vengeance.

So let’s recap:

The Final Absurdity: The Victimizer Plays the Victim

When Christians point to Stalin or Mao and say, “See? That’s what happens when you remove God,� they are missing the truth by galaxies.

You didn’t remove God. You replaced him—with the same architecture of unquestionable truth, sacred texts, charismatic leaders, and blind obedience.

Whether the altar holds a cross or a red flag, the psychology is the same. It’s not atheism. It’s absolutism.

What religion brings is not moral clarity—it brings moral permission.

Permission to conquer. Permission to burn. Permission to damn. And worst of all—permission to feel righteous while doing it.

A World Beyond God—and Beyond Dictators

If we are to judge atheism, let us judge it by the values it actually inspires when not hijacked by authoritarian cults:

Critical thinking

Freedom of conscience

Separation of church and state

Ethical humanism

The rejection of divine commands as moral law

The most secular nations in the world today—Norway, Sweden, Japan, the Netherlands—are also the most peaceful, equitable, and free.

Meanwhile, the blood-soaked trail of Christian history leads from Jerusalem to Rome to the Americas, from inquisitions to colonization, from genocide to damnation.

And yet somehow, Christians want to lecture the world about morality.

Let the Truth Burn Through the Lies

So the next time someone says, “Atheism caused more deaths than religion,� you can simply reply:

No. Authoritarianism did. Fanaticism did. Delusion did.

And if they really want to talk about death tolls�

Remind them that their own God is preparing the largest genocide in cosmic history—and they’re clapping for it.

Ěý“Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see.â€� â€� Carl Jung

We live in a world where meaning is hungered for like bread, and in the deserts of uncertainty, the mirage of synchronicity can feel like an oasis. A clock strikes 11:11. A friend calls just as you think of them. You dream of a black dog, and the next morning one crosses your path. These moments feel charged, uncanny—imbued with the sense that something out there is speaking directly to you. And for many, they seem to offer proof of a deeper design, a hidden intelligence guiding the personal storyline.

But beneath this glittering surface lies a tangled root system of wishful thinking, confirmation bias, and spiritual bypassing that can easily lead one astray. When misunderstood or over-interpreted, synchronicity becomes a hall of mirrors where illusion mimics insight, and longing disguises itself as revelation.

The Allure of the Pattern

Synchronicity, a term popularized by Carl Jung, refers to the occurrence of meaningful coincidences that have no causal connection yet feel deeply significant to the observer. It’s the mysterious link between the inner world and outer events—a flash of seeming design in the chaos of life.

But this allure taps into a very human vulnerability: the need for meaning in a world that often offers none. In moments of uncertainty, pain, or transition, the psyche is desperate to find orientation. Synchronicities can offer a numinous sense of guidance, a feeling that the universe is "with you." But just like seeing shapes in clouds or hearing secret messages in white noise, much of what we perceive as synchronous may be no more than our brain’s pattern-making engine in overdrive.

The Machinery of Illusion

Let’s unpack the psychological mechanisms that can twist synchronicity into delusion:

1. Wishful Thinking

This is the emotional engine behind many misinterpreted synchronicities. We want a sign so badly that we manufacture one. The mind latches onto any ambiguous event and paints it with meaning. A breakup happens, and a certain song plays—surely the universe is confirming they were your soulmate? In reality, your brain is scanning the environment for emotional resonance, and the song just happens to fit the mood.

2. Spiritual Bypassing

Popular in New Age and self-help circles, spiritual bypassing uses mystical beliefs to avoid uncomfortable psychological realities. Instead of facing grief, trauma, or uncertainty, one “lets go and lets the universe decide.� Synchronicity becomes a crutch—an external justification to avoid the work of inner transformation. People avoid hard decisions by "waiting for a sign" or sidestep accountability by believing everything is “divinely guided.�

3. Confirmation Bias

We notice and remember events that support our existing beliefs while ignoring those that contradict them. If we believe we are “aligned,� we’ll see evidence everywhere that we are—no matter how mundane or random. We filter the world through the lens of what we expect to find.

4. Subjective Validation

Also known as the Barnum effect, this is the tendency to interpret vague or general information as highly personal. Like horoscopes, synchronicities can seem uncannily accurate because we interpret them in ways that reflect our current emotional state. The meaning is projected onto the event—not contained within it.

5. Pareidolia

This is the brain’s tendency to perceive familiar patterns where none exist. It’s why we see faces in clouds, or a “message� in a license plate. When emotionally activated, the psyche becomes hyper-sensitive to symbolic patterns and may find significance in randomness.

6. Magical Thinking

This is the belief that thoughts, feelings, or rituals can influence the material world in a supernatural way. It leads to the idea that the universe is sending “signsâ€� specifically tailored to you, often resulting in narcissistic thinking and detachment from reality. Magical thinking is comforting—błÜłŮ often delusional.

When the Mirror Speaks: Jung, Campbell, and the Real Nature of Synchronicity

It’s tempting to throw the baby out with the bathwater—to dismiss synchronicity entirely as delusion. But that would be a mistake. Because underneath the illusion is a deeper truth: synchronicity is not a cosmic message board—it is a mirror of the soul.

Carl Jung understood synchronicity not as proof of an external guiding force, but as the acausal connecting principle—a manifestation of the psyche’s underlying order. He proposed that synchronicities are reflections of unconscious processes, expressed through outer events. They are bridges between the conscious and unconscious realms, showing us—symbolically—what is stirring within.

In this sense, synchronicities are like dreams manifesting in waking life. They carry archetypal significance, emerging when the psyche is undergoing transformation. They cannot be forced, decoded like puzzles, or used as oracles. They must be lived and felt as part of the mythic journey.

This is where Joseph Campbell’s work becomes essential. In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell shows how myth is not just storytelling—it is the architecture of the inner world. Just as mythic symbols express timeless aspects of the human journey, synchronicities reflect our myth unfolding in real-time. They become meaningful when placed within the context of one’s personal evolution—not when they’re treated like mystical breadcrumbs left by the Universe.

The Language of Symbols

To work skillfully with synchronicity is to speak the language of symbols—not with superstition or literalism, but with poetic intelligence.

A black dog in a dream, followed by a black dog on a walk, may not mean your soulmate is nearby. But it may mean that your unconscious is surfacing material related to grief, loyalty, or death (all associated with the black dog archetype across cultures). The event becomes a doorway—an invitation to explore what this symbol is asking of you.

Just like dreams, synchronicities need context. A symbol out of context is just noise. But a symbol in context becomes a message—not from the Universe, but from your own soul.

Reality as a Grounding Force

While synchronicities can offer insight, they must be held within the container of grounded reality. The danger arises when they’re used as replacements for critical thinking, maturity, and discernment.

We must ask:

Is this event truly meaningful, or am I projecting meaning onto it?

Am I using this synchronicity to avoid responsibility?

Does this “sign� align with my values, or merely with my fears or hopes?

Am I seeking validation from the outside because I don’t trust my inner compass?

Synchronicity, when used poorly, feeds fantasy. But when approached with discernment, it feeds awakening.

Integrating the Vision

To reclaim synchronicity as a legitimate part of the human experience, we must integrate it with logic, self-awareness, and inner work.

Do not chase synchronicities. Let them arise spontaneously.

Do not depend on them for decisions. Consult your values and wisdom.

Do not interpret them literally. Read them symbolically, like poetry.

Do not use them to escape pain. Use them to dive deeper into it.

When we honor synchronicity in this way, it becomes part of the mythic weave of life—not as a compass that tells us where to go, but as a mirror that shows us who we are becoming.

From Signs to Self

Synchronicity is not a shortcut to truth. It is a flicker at the edge of vision—a poetic shimmer that something unseen is taking shape within. Its misuse can reinforce wishful thinking, denial, and disconnection. But when placed in its proper light, it becomes a sacred whisper from the unconscious—a glimpse into the mythic depth of our own becoming.

The trick is to neither worship nor reject it. Instead, walk with it—curious, humble, and grounded in the real.

In the end, synchronicity is not a cosmic script to follow.

It is a symbol, a reflection, a mirror�

And the message, if there is one, is not “look out there.�

It is:
"Look within."
