You would be surprised – or perhaps not – by the obsession with Egyptian and Oriental magic dating from European medieval times up to today. It is a particularly striking story, because Europeans have somehow romanticized a connection to long-lost wisdom and power. Egyptian (and all Mesopotamian) magic, however, is firmly guarded in Islamic sects. Any attempt to reconcile the two is bound to fail, mostly because all European linkages are purely imaginative.

Medieval Europe was enchanted with magic, often attributed to Muslims and Jews. The word magic itself is associated with Simon Magus (the opponent of St. Peter) and King Solomon. The Catholic Church fought all expressions of magic, particularly female and autochthonous European ones. After eradicating them, we find European secret societies fantasizing about secrets supposedly discovered by the Templars in Jerusalem or about the Near Eastern origins of the Cathars. The proliferation of Kabbalah and astrology was undeniable and formed a bridge to the next stage.

The Renaissance (15th–16th centuries) was the golden age of teachings such as Hermeticism, alchemy, divination, Enochian magic, Rosicrucianism, and others. These traditions always carried an exotic charm, claiming connections to Arabic, Jewish, Graeco-Roman, and Egyptian sources. We slowly see key personalities, such as Queen Elizabeth, having official personal astrologers, while John Dee passed through European courts speaking about the importance of maintaining communication with angels.

After the Renaissance, Europe fell into an era of bloody revolutions and Enlightenment. Many key scientific figures of the Enlightenment were also members of occult schools. While Europe crushed the Catholic Church and proclaimed the death of God, the same rational minds found immense power in exclusive clubs with occult teachings referencing angels, demons, and Oriental whispers.

Approaching the bloodbath of the 20th century, we see several spiritual masters (Crowley, Blavatska, etc.) arriving in the United States. The arrival of occult movements in the U.S. has been debated as having occurred at the birth of the state, but we can clearly observe “spiritual masters” arriving one after another from Europe up until the wars. As practical and pragmatic as Americans can be, it seems natural to assume that a mystical tradition is of no use if it does not contribute to wealth creation. These new spiritual leaders, with their European flavor, quickly traded gimmicks with the new money of the USA.

I emphasize that these were gimmicks. What they brought were complicated, academic-style works on mysticism and not much real power. This is unsurprising, because there was nowhere to obtain it from. European magic was long dead or forgotten, and the Catholic Church has not produced a real saint for centuries. One could argue that in the 17th–19th centuries, Europe was probably the poorest place from a spiritual perspective. There were no living clusters of practicing monks with achievements and no track record of sustained magical schools. All post-medieval records point to conspiracy-style political unions of men who might have possessed some knowledge (Templars, Masons, etc.), but with no record of practical achievement (such as the accomplishment of public miracles).

Thus, it is quite normal that when these “masters” arrived in the U.S., their only possible claim to knowledge was that it came from the obscure Orient—something no one was going to verify anyway. The best-case scenario is when this knowledge came from a spirit guide (Crowley). The worst case, and a much deeper rabbit hole, is when the knowledge came from an organized sect (Blavatska).

While New Age spirituality is not particularly enamored with Near Eastern mysticism, we can detect a sizable maturation of cults in the U.S., mostly behind the scenes. Over time, they became less public and more intertwined with political and financial networks, extending all the way to intelligence services and what might be described as the deep state. One might ask how they survived and thrived for so long if they had no access to real magic. The answer lies in the South.

There is a place much closer to the U.S. than Egypt that possesses real magic, with practicing members, an exceptional track record over centuries, and – unlike Indian or Chinese traditions – very business-oriented management. While Oriental schools firmly withheld their knowledge from colonizers and chose to weather the crisis to preserve their people, others either failed to recognize the danger and sold their secrets or decided to migrate north and avenge the gringos. I still wonder which of the two it was.

The closest school with exceptional knowledge and the ability to have real-world impact is in Latin America. The pre-Columbian cults of the Incas and Aztecs are far more powerful and credible than European occultism imported wholesale and reduced to card tricks.

One must understand the excellence of Aztec and Inca magic.

Human sacrifice in the Americas is a well-known historical fact. The Olmecs and Maya show a long tradition beginning as early as 1200 BCE. The Chimú (northern Peru, c. 1100–1470 CE) practiced massive child and animal sacrifices (e.g., at Huanchaco) tied to climatic crisis rituals. Earlier Andean cultures show evidence at prehistoric sites (e.g., Sechín) of sacrificial practices extending over millennia. In the north, the Aztecs were the most prolific—though perhaps exaggerated in number—from the 14th to early 16th centuries, while the Incas (15th–16th centuries) specialized in large-scale child sacrifice.

Some of these sacrifices were performed to prevent cosmic collapse or disorder. The current Sun (Tonatiuh) was believed to require human blood and hearts to continue its movement. For the Aztecs, maintaining world order was directly tied to feeding the Sun with human lives. The Incas sought to restore harmony with the apus (mountain gods) and Inti (the Sun). The Chimú believed child sacrifice could stop floods or droughts. These threats – especially in the Aztec worldview – were of utmost importance. They believed they had learned how to delay impending doom until the return of Quetzalcoatl.

This alone is already fascinating to analyze. We know that the work of Christ changes the functioning of the spheres and allows for the liberation of souls. He comes not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it, because it no longer functions correctly. He is sacrificed so that He may redeem our sins and allow light to pass through the sphere. The entire world changes with His death and resurrection. The zodiac changes, and Gnostic texts tell us that horoscopes cannot be as precise as before if calculated using the old methods.

Why is this important? Because the work of Christ changed the way humanity passes through the sphere. Humanity now passes through it much faster; more light reaches the other side. This increase in speed is crucial, because before Christ, the Archons would “eat their sweat.” After Christ, they cannot. A retainer is in place, preventing them from devouring the excess of human “excretion.” This is what keeps the world in balance.

Human and animal sacrifice existed long before Christ, but after Christ, sacrifice is no longer necessary. The light passes through more easily, and souls are no longer trapped in a fiery prison.

What the Aztecs discovered was that this rule may have contained a loophole.

Sacrifice performed in a different way could achieve a specific effect. They fed the Archons through this loophole in exchange for delaying their destiny. Remember: no one can change the law. The law will be executed, but it can be delayed through enormous effort. The human sacrifices of the Aztecs and Incas are what created the Dark Ages in Europe. Blocking the arrival of the ships for centuries created a counter-response of stagnation. Europe was placed on hold culturally, economically, and especially militarily. This barrier was broken with the departure of Columbus’s ships, bearing the sign of the Cross of Christ.

The Aztecs continued human sacrifices in monstrous numbers while resisting the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, but it was too late. They could – and should – have arrived much earlier, along with the Catholic Church, but they were blocked. What triggered the collapse is unknown, but we do know that the knowledge required to create this retainer did not disappear.

This pre-Columbian magic is what traveled to the United States. Did it arrive through cartels and the CIA? Was it sold, or did a school migrate to the New Rome? Who knows.

So the next time you see news about human sacrifice among political elites in the U.S., you will know why. A pendulum of exchange is swinging.

Ask yourself why.
