Atlantean Spirituality & Spiritual Technology
Primordial Origins • Sumerian & Babylonian: Astrotheurgy, priest-kings, • Egyptian: Thoth, Isis, Osiris—death and rebirth • Zoroastrian & Persian: Magi tradition.
Hebraic and Prophetic Stream • Old Testament Mysticism: Prophets, visions, angelic encounters, temple mysticism. • Kabbalah: Tree of Life, divine emanations, sacred names, theurgy.
Greco-Hellenistic Synthesis • Hermeticism: • Neoplatonism: Return to the One, the Soul’s ascent. • Gnosticism: Sophia, the Fall into matter, redemption through gnosis.
Esoteric Christianity • Yeshua as Logos incarnate. • Christ as Inner Sun and Archetype of transfiguration. • The Crucifixion as alchemical dissolution. • The Resurrection as rebirth of the divine self. • The Bridal Chamber as the Hieros Gamos within.
The Grail-Chivalric Stream • Templars and Hospitallers as historical initiates. • Arthurian Mythos as veiled initiation story. • The Grail as the vessel of divine essence (Sophia + Christ). • The Knight as the inner Adept on the path of sacred service and moral perfection.
The Alchemical Renaissance • Paracelsus, Fludd, Maier revive inner and outer alchemy. • Integration of medicine, astrology, alchemy, and theology into a single Art. • The Chymical Wedding unites Christian mystery with alchemical metaphor.
Magic and Theurgy • Solomonic Magic: Angelic hierarchies, sigils, command of spirits. • Christian Cabala: Magic through divine names. • Enochian & Angelic Magic from Dee & Kelley. • Ritual practice to align the human with the divine order.
The Rosicrucian Emergence (17th century) • A secret brotherhood arises claiming ancient lineage.
Chivalric and Masonic Orders • Freemasonry integrates temple mysticism, sacred architecture, virtue ethics, and astral symbolism. • Rosicrucian and Masonic degrees become initiatory dramas guiding the soul through death and rebirth. • Knightly Orders (e.g. CBCS) emphasize the life of silent beneficence, service, and inner purification.
Mythopoetic Embodiment • The initiate lives the mystery, not just studies it.

Where Does High Magic Come From?
“Dion fortune once said “the closer the source, the purer the stream.” Sumer is as close for us to get to the source from which magick came. This is where it begins to tie into the Bible. Magick originated in an event described twice, in two different ways, in the Bible. Or one in the Bible, and one in the book of Enoch. Twice a “fall” happens. Both times involving women and higher intelligences. I became obsessed with where magick came from. I began researching it and reading about it constantly. And I did magick with the intention that I know where this originated. During this time I regularly met with someone who belonged to a European order, and knew more about magick than anyone else I’d known. One night we were sitting at a bar in the east village and I asked him what his thoughts were on it. He said he’d once asked his teacher that exact question. In response his teacher just pointed up with one hand, and put his finger over his lips as if saying “ssshhhh” with the other.”
