“Though the modern world may know a million secrets, the ancient world knew one – and that was greater than the million; for the million secrets breed death, disaster, sorrow, selfishness, lust, and avarice, but the one secret confers life, light, and truth.” — Manly P. Hall
This goes along with my essay on the brief history of Magick on my opening page. In that essay I talk about how magick was corrupted, maligned and misconstrued as a result of the rise of The Catholic Church, and protestant, religious fundamentalism, an extreme expression of exoteric beliefs over esoteric, or occulted knowledge.
The opening paragraph is this - "People have been using magickal amulets and pendants since the dawn of man. In those days threats and fear were commonplace because the playing field nature provides for us all was much more hostile. Weapons were primitive, and the wild prey had the predatory advantage, physically. All we had was our brains and that is when man discovered he had the ability to shape his reality with his mind. Then came the first shamans who perfected the craft and the practice of magick became a staple for all societies."
THE GOAL HAS CHANGED - The new video will be about the history of magickal jewelry specifically. Why? I am always looking for new videos and I found one that outlines everything I wanted to say so to keep it from being redundant I am changing the topic to. specifically, jewelry.
WAIT FOR THE VIDEO!!!!
