What the Ancients Knew That We Forgot
Two essays on nature, the Divine and the sacred mission of human life
If you think this world is hopeless and life has no meaning — you don’t know how magical this world really is
I’m working on a piece tomorrow titled Modern Man Has No Idea How Magical Their World Is. It’s been an idea I’ve wanted to write for some weeks — but never had any time.
The point of that article is to show you how the magic and mysticism in this world has been erased from you. Since Fauci is in the news this week, it’s only right that we start with the predecessor before Fauci: Albert Einstein.
Today, I picked up my cell and instead of waiting for the conditions to be perfect, I “texted” out a 6min read, 1400-word Apple Note.
This is the power of creativity and originality that AI can never create.
To fully grasp the impact of this piece, you’ll have to understand how mystical this world was.
I’ve often discussed such elements from the esoteric or Ifa perspective, but to hear it from an entirely new perspective — but still saying the same thing — is phenomenal and provides more credence to the world being done to understand the true nature of reality.
The following works are from the great mind of Paul Cudenec. In them, he discusses how the Celtic Druids saw the world before the influence of the Greco-Roman world. It’s important to note this because the Greco-Roman Empire was our first introduction to colonialism, then followed by Britain leading us to where we are now in modern times.
What’s interesting about all of this is how two cultures, across the world, Nigerian and Celtic, have the same spiritual view of the world — before the spread of the Greco-RomanEmpire.
There’s also the following note from Jaime Jessop which details an esoteric historical perspective of the world. I plan to do a deep dive on it, but for now, I hope it enriches you and helps you glean the insights.
Lastly, since we are talking about magic, I will need you to familiarize yourself with, or get up to speed on, this topic if you already.
My argument is that this force of reality — which some call the aether — is everywhere and what the earlier cultures recognized, knew of, and more importantly worked with. I then show how Einstein and others remove this view from humanity, leaving us, in a sense, blind to what reality is truly about.
Here are some articles to start.
The Reality of Magic
Carl Jung, one of the most influential figures of the 21st century, remains relatively unknown to many. However, his contributions to psychology and the world are significant. Jung introduced concepts such as extraversion and introversion, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. These ideas have had a profound impact on psychiatry, religion, literature, and related fields.
The Aether Is What It's All About
The fact that we pay for energy—when it’s literally around us—shows the depths of the illusion within society.
We Are All Modern Magicians
I just finished my piece on magic being everywhere, and if you haven’t had a chance to read it, it’s a very enlightening exploration of how this force operates in our reality.
To close, I love the piece on Paul on becoming a hero. The hero archetype is very much needed in this day and age.
Magic and miracles have always helped our hero conquer new lands, defeat giants, and slay the beasts. You too have been called to be a hero — you’ve just been told in this world, heroes aren’t needed.
As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments, share if you found it valuable, hit like if you like it, and have a great day!

It’s really interesting that you published this today. Since the triskelion was on my mind a lot today, I felt like it would be a good tattoo for me to get. Then I saw someone with a triskelion tattoo today!
Life is indeed metaphysical. More than we really realise 🙂
We have virtually no idea what the druids thought or did. Even the few written accounts were probably very biased by their enemies. We can rediscover what they no doubt tapped into though and many of us never lost touch with it.
