The Prometheus/Mithras/Lucifer Axis - What's It All About?

What if I told you that Synchromysticism isn't just a parlor game, but an incredibly effective investigative tool? 

I Want to Get High, So High(erside).

  

Hey, Carlwood-man, hey, what you say? Gimme some of your bandwidth. Hey.

Pseudo-Science Friday: Some Say in Ice

Bundle up, folks in the lower 48: looks like Old Man Winter is a climate denier and is sending a massive blast of arctic air our way. Probably a conspiracy to make our new climate czar look stupid. Well, more stupid.

Hey Big Tech: deplatform Mr. Icicle already! He's too much!

Who Said It: Joe Biden or Aleister Crowley?

I have to say, some of Joe Biden's speech last night seemed awfully familiar. 

Like, what's this whole "Light" thing about?

Supernovas and Star Sorcery

The glowing Orb is officially a thing. We keep seeing it in odd places, most recently this enigmatic music video from Ariana Grande (with a guest appearance by Nikki Minaj, who seems to be fraying a bit at the edges lately). 

Secret Sun Picture Parade: Technology's Lucifer

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers: Resisting the Rituals

Eros and Jupiter in the Gotthard Tunnel

Alex Tsakiris invited me on to the legendary Skeptiko show, which we actually taped a couple months ago. 

The Secret Sun on THC

It's been nearly a month since Greg Carlwood and I tore into it for three hours, covering all kinds of ground and any number of different topics. 

Happily, Greg was able to make some sense of it all and banged it all into a fairly-coherent 2 1/2 hour chat.

Go Back to Hell, Lucifer. You're Embarrassing Yourself.

What a shitshow

I just read that Fox has renewed its "adaption" of the Vertigo/DC comics series Lucifer for a second season. 

Space/Gods: As Above, So Ba'al-Low

Ba'al in his flying sky-chariot

We're five days out from the erection of the reproduction of the Palmyra triumphal arch in Trafalgar Square in London. There won't be a simultaneous installation in New York for reasons we'll look at in a moment.

The Owls Are Not What They've Seen

During my Operation Trojan Horse re-read I kept seeing the year of my birth- 1966- recur throughout the text. 

Mermaids and Man-Things

Or should that say "Best of Sumer?"

Well, summer's here and the time is right for Sirius symbolism. Here's my old neighbor Marky Mark hamming it up with Will Farrell, who'll be playing the part of Oannes for us. That 116 sure is a strange number, until you add it up and get- of course- 17.

Secret Sun Best of the Zeros: Books and Graphic Novels

The 90s were the decade of my great romance with books. There were so many life-changing titles that came out I can't begin to name them all. 

A Very Sirius Election: The Phoenix Goes Down

Another Mars probe, another mysterious system failure. Nazca, er, I mean NASA, has reported that the Phoenix has gone dead. Soon after another Phoenix went down in flames. 

As above, so below, eh?

When Mythworlds Collide: Lois Meets Lucifer

In May of 1970, this adorably silly cover hit the stands. It was a truism in the old days of fandom that all fads went to the comic books to die, and the Satanic panic of Anton LaVey and Rosemary's Baby was a dim memory by the time Lois Lane#103 made it debut. 

Note the cartoonish LaVey stand-in.

 

Jack Kirby, Mindbomb: Iran, the CIA and the Lord of Light

Given Kirby's long history of prescience and myth-making, it was inevitable that those in the cloak-and-dagger community would eventually catch on to him.
