The Source of all Strife

If you were to ask me who I thought was responsible for most of the strife and divisions we face in the West today, I’d give you one name: William Caxton. I think that, were it not for the invention of Caxton’s printing press in the 15th century, we would all be living in a…

The Redemption of the Father

The avenging of the father in the outer world is the complete obverse to what really needs to be achieved by the shamanic Mysteries initiate, which is the redemption of the father in the inner worlds. It is the avenging of the father that leads to war on Earth; it is the redemption of the…
