On the Mysteries

Hey there Seekers of the Mystery! Today we are going to dig in deep. What was the Titanomachy, truly about?

This cosmic war between Kronus and his son Zeus. This supposed bloody and brutal grab for power, is often framed by Christian apologists as proof of the barbarity of Greek Civilization and why the Christ was necessary.

Well, what if the Logos, was simply a rebrand? What if the Christ had already been revealed potentially six centuries before?

Today we examine Zeus as the prototype Logos, and show how the Titanomachy shows some of Zeus's most compassionate sides, and last but not least how his son will be the final revelation...

Frater OD here with some exciting news...

Tomorrow night at 7PM, we're dropping the first episode in our groundbreaking new series "THE ENNEAD UNVEILED" – and I can't wait to share this journey with all of you LIVE!

This premiere explores ATUM – Egypt's primordial deity who literally pleasured the universe into existence. I've spent months diving deep into the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, and artifacts that reveal the REAL creation story religious authorities have tried to erase for millennia.

Let me tell you, this is NOT the sanitized history you were taught! We're exploring how this gender-transcendent god contained both masculine and feminine aspects within himself, creating through divine self-stimulation – a sacred act later religions would condemn as the ultimate taboo.

The visuals on this one are NEXT LEVEL! We are bringing ancient hieroglyphs and temple imagery to life in ways that honor the original sacred technology while making it accessible to modern minds. You're going to be blown away!

This is just the beginning of our ten-part journey through the Ennead – Egypt's divine family that maps the very architecture of consciousness itself. Next up will be SHU: Lord of the Air, where we'll explore humanity's forgotten rebellions against the gods and what this means for expanding our own awareness.

As modern practitioners, I believe reconnecting with these primordial energies offers us profound wisdom that transcends time. The ancients understood consciousness in ways we're only beginning to rediscover.

Join me tomorrow night for the premiere chat – bring your questions, insights, and an open mind! Together we'll peel back the veil on wisdom that's been hidden in plain sight for too long.

HAIL ATUM RA! 🌞

Greetings, seekers!

I'm currently deep in the throes of creation, imagining and crafting an epic new series:

The Egyptian Ennead.

This will be a ten-plus video dive into the Heliopolitan mythology and mysticism, a monumental project that will consume much of my focus for the next month. So, content drops might be a little sparse while I'm channeling the ancient energies, but fear not! I'll still be holding our weekly live streams and sharing as much as I can along the way.

In the meantime, I wanted to extend a personal invitation to you all. I've been working on something special: a new Discord community called Life After Religion. Many of you resonate with the explorations we undertake here on the channel, but I know there are countless voices among you who have yet to speak their truth. This is your space.

Deconstruction can be a challenging journey, grappling with religious trauma even more so, and navigating new belief systems can feel overwhelming. That's why I've created this community: to provide a safe haven for those of us walking these paths.

Life After Religion is a place for open hearts and open minds, a space where we can learn, grow, and explore the mysteries together. It's free to join, and you'll have exclusive access to me and a supportive community of fellow seekers.

Think of it as an extension of our conversations here, a place to dive deeper, share your experiences, and find solace in shared understanding. If you're ready to explore life beyond the confines of old dogmas, I invite you to join us.

Come build this community with me. I look forward to seeing you there.

Yours in the Mysteries,

Skip the Carousel

📜 ANNOUNCEMENT: New Research on Daimonic Ontology and Augustinian Theological Reframing 📜
PREMIERING TOMORROW:

"The Great Demonization: How the Church Weaponized Fear Against Ancient Wisdom"

Dear scholars and seekers of suppressed wisdom traditions,

Tomorrow's investigation represents the culmination of extensive research into what may constitute one of Western theology's most consequential ontological revisions: the systematic reconceptualization of intermediary spiritual entities from beneficial cosmological agents to malevolent demonic forces.

The philological evidence reveals a remarkable transformation in the semantic field encompassing δαίμων (daimon) and its derivatives—a transformation coinciding not with phenomenological discovery but with ecclesiastical consolidation of spiritual authority in the post-Constantinian era.

Through careful analysis of primary textual sources including Plato's Symposium, Plutarch's De Defecto Oraculorum, and Iamblichus' De Mysteriis, our examination establishes the ontological status of daimones within pre-Augustinian philosophical frameworks as necessary intermediaries in the chain of being—entities that facilitated human participation in divine reality through their liminal metaphysical positioning.

The Neoplatonic conception articulated by Iamblichus particularly merits attention: "The daemons are produced according to the generative and creative powers of the gods... filling the interval so that the whole itself has been bound together." This understanding of cosmological integration through intermediary beings stands in stark contrast to the radical bifurcation introduced by Augustine's theological revisionism.

Augustine's systematic demonization of these entities in De Civitate Dei represents not merely terminological preference but calculated cosmological restructuring—an ontological repositioning that effectively severed direct experiential pathways to transcendent consciousness established through ritualized engagement with these intermediary forces.

Our investigation reveals how this theological maneuver effectively:

Eliminated an entire hierarchical category of beneficial spiritual intermediaries
Rendered ancient technologies of consciousness transformation suspect or forbidden
Necessitated ecclesiastical mediation for legitimate spiritual experience
Concealed sophisticated metaphysical frameworks for understanding graduated spiritual ascent

The documentary examines cross-cultural evidence from Greek, Egyptian, and Near Eastern traditions that consistently recognized these intermediary spiritual entities as essential cosmological components facilitating human spiritual development.

The historical and philosophical evidence presented challenges fundamental assumptions about Western demonology and invites critical reassessment of theological frameworks that continue to shape contemporary understanding of spiritual reality.

TOMORROW: Full presentation with comprehensive philological analysis, archaeological evidence, and philosophical implications. Set your reminders—this revelation awaits.

They weren't evil until Augustine said they were.

Sheer curiosity. Every since I began this channel, my videos have come with captions.

Does this bother you? Would you prefer no captions?

🌱 Join Me for "Serpent's Seed" - A Spring Equinox Reading 🌱

Hello Deviants!

As the world tilts toward the light and the first blossoms push through winter's veil, I invite you to join me THIS AFTERNOON for something special: a dramatic reading of Nonnus' Dionysiaca focusing on the hidden tale of Persephone's rise and the birth of Zagreus.

This isn't the Persephone story you learned in school! We'll explore the secret union between Zeus (in serpent form!) and Persephone, uncovering the esoteric dimensions of spring's return that ancient initiates cherished.

Bring a glass of wine, find a comfortable spot where sunlight touches shadow, and let's celebrate the vernal equinox together through these powerful ancient words. I've been preparing this reading for weeks and can't wait to share it with you all.

Whether you're a mythology enthusiast, a seasonal celebrant, or simply curious, you're welcome at this gathering. The mysteries of spring await us – when darkness and light hang in perfect balance, what better time to explore stories of transformation and rebirth?

The serpent stirs, Persephone rises, and I'll be here at 1:00PM MST to guide us through these forgotten mysteries. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and let's welcome spring together!

With vernal delight,
Frater OD

P.S. Drop a comment if you're planning to join so I can welcome you personally! 🌿🍷✨

Hey Deviants!

I am hard at work on the video about the Daimones of the ancient world. It is coming along and I think it should be ready to go in the next few days. However, I wanted to tease that I have something new brewing, beyond the walls of YouTube, I am building a space for community. I can't say much more than it very much aligns with what we have been uncovering here on the channel. It's going to be a space where interaction, collaboration, and discovery are encouraged and I can't wait to unveil it for you soon!

Thanks for all your continued support!

THE TITANIC COSMOS: Ancient Greece's Hidden Metaphysical Framework

Far beyond mere overthrown gods, the Titans represent a sophisticated metaphysical system that structured the ancient understanding of reality. In this livestream, we'll uncover how these primordial deities functioned as living embodiments of cosmic principles—a framework that continues to influence Western thought.

What You'll Discover:

Why the Titans weren't just "older gods" but essential cosmic functions
The six fundamental Titanic polarities that ordered reality
How their offspring represent increasingly specified cosmic operations
The true meaning of the Titanomachy as metaphysical transformation
Connections between Titanic cosmology and other wisdom traditions

Drawing from Hesiod's Theogony, Orphic fragments, and Neoplatonic interpretations, we'll reconstruct the elegant cosmic architecture that underpinned Greek mythology. Learn how Hyperion and Theia governed illuminative consciousness, Oceanus and Tethys circumscribed and nourished reality, and Iapetus and Clymene established the boundaries between cosmic realms.

This introduction to Titanic metaphysics provides the foundation for our upcoming series exploring each Titanic pair in depth. Join us as we recover this forgotten wisdom and reveal why these principles remain relevant to understanding consciousness and reality today.
