For those interested in UFO symbols and their connection to magick/alchemical symbols and “hieroglyphics,” I’m excited to announce that my first substack article has finally been published!

Huge thank you @levenda.bsky.social and @marcovisconti.org for their insights & kindness.

“There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”

—Umberto Eco in his essay “Ur-Fascism” (1995)

Interesting quote by Robert Eggers @marcovisconti2393.bsky.social

“The vulnerability of all things derives from the tension between our desire to stay just as we are, and our desire to reach for perfection. The basis of this is philautia, self-love. If you could switch someone's philautia off and on, you could manipulate them with perfect ease.”

—Giordano Bruno

“We have claimed in our treatise De naturali magia that all bonds are either reduced to the bond of love, depend on the bond of love, or are based on the bond of love.”

—Giordano Bruno, De vinculis in genere

If anyone needs me over the next few months, I’ll be in my room reading with the 3D-printed Danny DeVito Buddha statue until the retreat with @levenda.bsky.social and @marcovisconti2393.bsky.social in February ;)

Merry Christmas! 🎄

It’s the Books of Jeu, a Gnostic manual of Celestial Ascent:

“The work discusses the secret names of the aeons, their numbers, their seals, their passwords, formula which allow free passage through the celestial spheres…Jesus closes with a warning to only share such info with those who are worthy.”

Let’s have some fun: everyone guess what grimoire/magical text these symbols are from…

No cheating with reverse image search ;)

Daoist Spirit Maps allow Shamans to send their consciousness through the Celestial Gate (identified with the Celestial Pole+Big Dipper) into the Spirit Realm—exactly like Voudon Veves, where the Poteau Mitan (Celestial Pole+Dipper) is also explicitly identified with the gate….
