A man possessed by a demon and a witch with her familiar— dark forces in misericords, on the underside of monks’ seats - in what today we might call the subconscious
‘Jonathan Black here makes the complex clear and magnetic. He connects strands of consciousness to make a wholeness. He has a warmth and loving presence which unites head and heart on the quest for self discovery.’ Pam Young, author of HOPE STREET
The gods keep emerging from the darkness of time.
The goddess Kybele has been unearthed in Turkey. Shs is seeing the light of day after 2100 years.
Kybele is the Phrygian Great Mother goddess. She's associated with the Greek goddess Rhea and by extension Hekate, mother of the gods. The emperor Julian wrote a great hymn to her.
Hail Mother of Reality!
“I have suggested we remember ancient stories because they preserve turning points in human history, great events that prepared the way for life as we experience it. The great turning point in the history of humanity that Christianity calls the Fall was actually the fall into matter.
Human spirits had been phantoms like the gods, the angels and the giants. As their bodies became harder and fleshier, they began to experience new joys-and new dangers too.
The story of Isis and Osiris is about how we came to be born and live in the material world for a certain limited time-and what it felt like.”
The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made Our World, Mark Booth, pg. 33
This series of books are so wonderful and brilliant. The systemic changing of one’s worldview from the material to the ideal is a must for all magi, mystics and seekers alike. Mark Booth presents mythological stories, folklore and legends with the sacredness and embodied respect for the human experience of the history of consciousness evolution that is a must for the understanding and knowledge of what is going on in this strange and beautiful world.
@jblackauthor and I will be sitting down and doing an Interview on @magus_in_the_media soon. We will be talking about his work and specifically his new book, The Secret History of the Universe: How Ancient Wisdom Made the Modern World. I am so excited!
@JohnSmi44739531 I wish I could say that your fears are misguided. I think it is harder to get your stuff read now. The Secret History of the World almost didn’t get published at all. I’ve always found the publication process bruising. You get so many knocks. I’d say only do it for the love of it
All religions are one, says William Blake
How to explain the way some religions teach reincarnation and others don’t? I think it’s to do with the narrow and confused ideas we have about identity.
I want to illustrate Blake’s childhood vision of God looking through the window. Is anyone adapt enough to be able to help adapt this image? Or even find a better one?
Jonathan Black’s book ‘The Secret History of the World’, is the ultimate guide to esoterica. His new book covers quantum mechanics and explains how ancient wisdom made the modern world. I hope to see you at the book launch at 17:00 on Friday 12th June!

What a blast when two universes occupy the same place!
We are seeing this happening with advanced AIs and aliens.
