Nature is the work of the Devil

"Nature is the work of the Devil. The Devil is in us as far as we are Nature." -William Blake

In esoteric tradition, Satan represents the raw energy of nature. In this post, I will explain what that means.

As explained in other posts, this world is dualistic; from a Gnostic point of vi...

The Visual Symbolism of the Sharingan

Naruto is a manga rich in esoteric symbolism; it meshes both Eastern and Western esotericism, myth and religion to create a unique visual and thematic identity. The only equivalent I can think of is Berserk.

Despite Naruto's popularity, however, none have delved deep into the details and hidden meanings of the story. In this post, I will talk about the occult symbols that have informed th...

Lore Predictions for Duskbloods

Duskbloods will likely make me pay hundreds of dollars for a piece of plastic which I otherwise would never be interested in. There, I've said it... I admit I am especially happy since it will feature PvP as a core mechanic - I've been an active invader in the Dark Souls games since nearly a decade, and Elden Ring pretty much abandoned the mechanic, which was quite upsetting lol.

As of to...

Faith Requires Logic, and Logic Requires Faith

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.'' (Matthew 5:38-40)

This biblical excerpt delivers its message with striking literalness, o...

A brief analysis of Hollow Knight

This post will be my general thoughts on the story of Hollow Knight, which is masterfully written and familiar. I did not dive deep into the game's lore as of yet, though I may do that in the future. For now, these are my notes about it, which should still prove insightful, as this is yet another story that is highly esoterically charged and follows archetypal structures.

There w...

The Meaning of Gnosis, and Picasso's False Enlightenment

Before discussing Picasso, it's important to first explain the meaning of 'gnosis,' as it’s relevant to this post.

Gnosis is the Greek noun for knowledge; attaining gnosis is, essentially, experiencing an epiphany, a revelation about the nature of the micro and macrocosm. Of course, there are different epiphanies one can experience, as a monk may find when talking to a ...

The Secrets of Videodrome

Videodrome is one of those elusive films that conceals a deeper conspiracy; without awareness of it, the plot becomes difficult to understand. It is one of my favorite movies of all time; I recommend you all watch it before reading this article.

The technology behind the Videodrome was created by what's likely a secret branch of the CIA (or, at the very least, a CIA contractor). ...

The Esoteric Meaning of the Tree of Knowledge

''And the Lord God commanded the man, 'You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.''' Genesis 2:16-17

''Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.'' Genesis 2:25

''You will not certainly di...

Solving the Mystery of World of Kanako

World of Kanako is a Japanese thriller filled with Biblical symbolism - in fact, its first scene is a dualistic sequence that contrasts a statue of the Virgin Mary under a gentle rain of snow - which symbolizes purity - with a rave party, which, as we'll see in the movie, represents hell itself; the partygoers lose their innocence amidst the drug-fueled chaos.

On the Creation of the World and Men

In this post, I will demonstrate how the birth of every person is like a microcosmic reenactment of the Demiurge's fall from Heaven and his subsequent act of creation.

In Ovid's Metamorphoses, chaos is described as ''a rough and disordered mass, nothing but an inactive agglomeration and at the same time a heap and a contrast of uncoordinated elements of the world.'' This understanding of ...

What is the Biblical Israel?

There has always been much debate about the true meaning of Israel; discussions about the subject were prominent in medieval times, and have gotten especially relevant in the modern day due to the political developments of WW2, the US and the Levant.

As such, I must say that, as is often the case, this post will be controversial; it expresses an unapologetically Christian point of view. B...

Who rules this world?

This post offers a sober and intuitive exploration of the Gnostic belief that our world was created by a Demiurgic god, as well as the symbolic dichotomy between Christ and Satan. My aim is not to provoke distress - this is a sensitive subject for many, and I have no intention of spreading negativity through this writing. With that in mind, I welcome you to another article on this Patreon.

The Twisted Resolution of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Unlike the other posts, this will be less an analysis and more a review with my unfiltered thoughts about the movie in question. Beware of spoilers; while I believe the moral of the story to be quite harmful, it is a great movie with very interesting visual artistic choices.

To be very blunt, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a Gnostic-Satanic romance that glamorizes and trivialize...

An analysis of Savage Planet

Savage (or Uncivilized) Planet (Mikai no Hoshi) is a manga by Jiro Matsumoto, the creator of many esoterically charged manga such as Freesia and Tropical Citron. While I believe it to be a great story, I must also disclaim that it is very graphic (I would even say gratuitous in some parts). It's not just any seinen manga.

An Analysis of A Fistful of Dollars

A Fistful of Dollars needs little introduction; it is one of the great Western classics, whose protagonist is acted by the face of Western cinema, Clint Eastwood, whose director was Sergio Leone, and whose composer was Enrico Morricone. However, those familiar with archetypes and the Bible will find in it a layered Christian allegory.

The city where the story takes place in, São Miguel, ...

What's ''Birdhouse In Your Soul'' about?

“Birdhouse in Your Soul” is one of the most beloved and recognizable songs by the rock band They Might Be Giants. The lyrics are cryptic, often leading listeners to dismiss them as nonsensical. But despite the song’s quirky surface, it carries a deeper, unexpected meaning.

The God of Many Names

This post will be about (some of) the many names (and facets) of the Demiurge - the God of the Old Testament. It will be akin to a glossary, written in plain and intuitive manner.

Azazel is a particularly interesting name for the Demiurge - it contains within it the idea of the all-encompassing entity (like Abraxas, whose name contains, numerologically, the 365), a...

The Occult Conspiracy of Longlegs

This post is a deep analysis - or more accurately, a complete dissection - of the movie Longlegs by Osgood Perkins. It is, however, structured like a collection of notes; as notes are its basis. I have watched the movie three times over this and last year and wrote various observations during my viewings, which I have revised and expanded in a research effort to write this post.

The Full Meaning of the Christian Cross

In this post, I will discuss both the superficial and the truest and most esoteric meaning - the sacred geometry - of the Christian Cross -

In this post, I will discuss both the superficial and the truest and most esoteric meaning - the sacred geometry - of the Christian Cross - the King of all symbols. In order to fully understand its symbolism, one must know one of the deepest secrets o...

David Bowie's Blackstar

May you be welcome to the first patron-exclusive post of The Firelink Conspiracy!

This article will mainly be about a peculiar song with an even more peculiar clip - David Bowie's Blackstar. It would, perhaps, be more apt to say this article will be a (not fully comprehensive) analysis of Bowie himself.

A disclaimer: I will not underestimate your knowledge nor your intellig...
