Ancient Civilizations

Aleister Crowley’s legacy resides not just in dusty books but in the very core of Western occultism. His charisma and controversy make today’s influencers seem subdued. To disciples, Crowley was a prophet and genius. To critics, he embodied the Great Beast of Revelation: a libertine, a manipulator, straddling the line between worlds. Born Edward Alexander […]

The mystery of the human mind’s awakening is an intriguing saga. For nearly two million years, our ancestors roamed with melon-sized brains. Then, about 100,000 years ago, everything changed. Scientists have struggled to understand why this shift occurred. Was it fire? Tools? Social complexities? Terence McKenna introduced an audacious idea: the forbidden fungus hypothesis. According […]

History favors tidy narratives: empires rise, cities emerge, and stones lay ceremoniously. However, in Australia, those neat lines unravel beneath a century of official stories. In 1868, a significant foundation stone was laid, marked by a ceremony intended to signify a civilization’s beginnings. Then, for 24 years, silence followed. No towers soared. No chisels echoed. […]

The air hums with unease as global war rhetoric intensifies, military buildups spread from Eastern Europe to the Western Pacific, and news cycles are a hair’s breadth from ‘breaking news’ banners signaling catastrophe. You don’t have to be a bunker-dweller (though it helps) to sense something’s off. Experts from major think tanks and international agencies […]

If you thought 2025 would be uneventful, the universe has other plans. Mt. Etna spews ash and pyroclastic fury into the Mediterranean sky. The planet itself seems to tremble in sympathy. The culprit? Not just plate tectonics but a rampaging geomagnetic storm—one so fierce it’s lighting up skies and fueling supercharged earthquakes worldwide, according to […]

If you live near Idaho or Yellowstone and felt the ground rumble, you’re not alone. An earthquake swarm has escalated from a shiver to a series of jolts, capturing the attention of experts and emergency planners alike. This situation has also excited the legion of armchair apocalypse preppers who can now say, “I told you […]

History and myth warn us: when the veil tears, nothing remains the same. Spiritual traditions depict a barrier between the mundane and the mystical. Some refer to it as the separation of dimensions, others as the divide between life and death, illusion and truth. In the age of AI and geopolitical disruption, discussions of the […]

Rome didn’t fall in a day, but its collapse sent shockwaves through history. The Western Roman Empire serves as a cautionary tale about decay, lost languages, and technological overreach. Historian Barry Strauss explores how this superpower unraveled from within. Modern scholarship on Rome’s fall rejects a single cause. Instead, a mix of military decline, political […]

An ancient scroll, buried under volcanic ash for millennia, is read not by a dusty scholar, but by an all-seeing AI. This isn’t fiction. Recent breakthroughs allow AI to peel back time’s layers—and the revelations are unsettling. The decoded scripts speak in riddles of fire, silence, collapse, and something darker. As machines decipher lost codes […]

History’s infamous city fires often defy logic. How do we explain thousands of buildings turned to ash with only a few dozen recorded casualties? This contradiction lies at the heart of the Great Fire of London, the 1776 New York fire, and other urban infernos. Such discrepancies have bred suspicion, with some claiming that the […]

Something brews north of the border, and it’s more than just the dark roast at Tim Hortons. Pundits and worrywarts draw dramatic parallels between Canada and Venezuela, warning that socialism could unravel the country’s prosperity. The phrase “it’s happening right under your nose” resonates in Canadian discourse, fueling modern political anxiety that combines alarm, economic […]

The saga of India and Pakistan stems from a fractured history, unyielding geography, and persistent distrust. Professor Kapil Kumar argues that history repeats itself. With each series of accusations and artillery exchanges, the shadows of British colonialism and the flawed 1947 partition resurface, haunting the subcontinent. The Indian voices provide insights grounded in historical facts, […]
