Christmas is Over, but SCHIZMAS MEMES Never End

On the nth day of Schizmas, my true love gave to me SEVENTEEN SCHIZOMYSTIC MEMES...

Christmas is Not Mithras

Today seems like as good a day as any to dive into the lingering fallacies of Jesus Mythicism, specifically the leftover nonsense about Christmas being Mithras (or the Saturnalia) and all the rest of it. Wouldn't you agree?

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chris-MEMES

Christmas - and God help us all, 2026 - are coming at us fast and furious. What can you do to get some relief from the stress? Well, you can start by letting Doctor Sun write you a prescription for some Vitamin M...

Feast at Easter: Secular Artists, Sacred Songs

You know, there's ten trillion songs about Christmas - most of them awful - but where's the love for Easter? You'd figure there'd be more, and not just the obligatory Peter Cottontail kind of thing.

(Mystery Babalon the) Kate Rides on Lucifer's Love-Rocket

 

I was just wondering what was up with the insane elite rituals, which we haven't seen much of lately. Well, you know the old saying: leave it to the "space program" (sic) to come through with some fresh stupid.

'Twas the Night Before Schizmas

We're coming up on Christmas, so what better time than now to explore the greatest spiritual innovation of our times? 

The Siren Song of the Assassin

Well, here we are in the midst of yet another synchro-storm laden with Siren and Sibylline symbolism. 

Could it really be any other way at this point in the timeline?

Synchro Streams Meet Electric Dreams

The beating heart of the Secret Sun Institute for Advanced Synchromysticism is the livestream. We’ve had some rather epic ones on 2024, and 2025 is looking to be another banner year for streams.

KingKill '24: Oh, You KNEW This was Coming.

Did you know there were actually FIVE wars over the control of Delphi in Ancient Greece? They were called the "Sacred Wars." Look them up, I'll wait.

Who's Laughing Now?

"Laugh While You Still Can" is one of the most popular posts here at The Secret Sun, having been read by tens of thousands of seekers. 

And Now for Something Completely Different...

You know, when podcasters want to talk the Bible and Christian Metaphysics, my name is always the last on their lists. I can't blame anyone for that, mind you. I wouldn't risk having a mystical loose cannon like myself around either. I never know what I might say.

True Detective, Taxi Driver and the Signals from Space

The exact airdate has yet to be announced but the fourth season of True Detective is coming this year, with Jodie Foster in the lead role as, um, Liz Danvers.

Oh, yeah. You know where this is headed. You knew before you even clicked that link.

...If Only in My Memes

Not to be Danny Downer, but this could all get much, much worse between now and November. There's a rough beast slouching towards, well, everywhere these days. It's a mortally-wounded and cornered beast, granted, but that just makes it all the more dangerous.

The Apocalypse Makes for Strange Bedfellows

When it rains it pours: my old pal Derek Gilbert of SkywatchTV invited me on to his podcast to talk about the Lovecraft-Alice Bailey nexus, and we ended up touching on a whole host of other topics such as the Sorcerarchy, demonology and the existential evil of the Bush Crime Syndicate and their neocon toadies.

"Like the Most High": Cracking the Vega-Cygnus Code

You may be one of those people who thinks they live in an ordered and rational universe, and not a roiling hothouse of magic, mysticism, and sorcery. 

You may think you live in a world where people in high places are preoccupied with petty trifles like money and power, and not with kicking the struts out from underneath the entire edifice of Creation and rebuilding the rubble into their own image.

I'll see what I can do to help you with that. I'm not here to judge.

The Never-Ending Rituals: The 4th A.D.

May 5: After an apparent failure on Imbolc, SpaceX successfully launches "Starship" (sic) on Beltane.

The (Not-So) Secret History of Saint Patrick's Day

Well, it's that time of year again, time to celebrate the Great American Bacchanal and bone up once again on the real origin of this holiday. With any luck, many of you may be going out and getting drunk on Wednesday, assuming your local officials aren't already drunk.

Drunk with power, I mean.

Fearful Enigmas

Dancing to the sound of the latest beat

Hordes and hordes of marching feet

Tapping out the rhythm on the barrel of a gun

Living in a world where we won't see the sun

So much for back to normal, eh? No, friends, this is the new normal. 

This is a world that by outward appearances is like the world you lived in, say, ten years ago. But it isn't. This is for all intents and purposes a parallel reality we all find ourselves in. You are now an exile from your old world and have to learn to live in this new one.

Welcome Back, My Friends, To the Show That Never Ends, We're So Glad You Could Attend, Come Inside, Come Inside

Well, well, well. Interesting to see the series finale of The Apprentice: White House end on a cliffhanger like this. It's a good thing we can't go anywhere because I have a feeling we are in for a rollicking round of ruddy ritualism in the days ahead. 

I just miss the days when reality TV was unscripted.

One Mithras Morning in Nashville

A lot of people have been talking about the very weird bombing event outside the AT&T building in Nashville. All kinds of strangeness seems to be emanating from it, all of which is quite interesting but has nothing to do with what caught my attention.

See, setting off an explosion on Christmas morning just screams "ritual" to me, and the AT&T connection only makes those screams louder.
