New Book: A Renaissance or New Middle—Magic, Mystery and the Trance-formation of the West
Rediscovering the mystery of modern Western Civilization
Individuals, groups, and entire civilizations are shaped by myriad unseen forces. At the heart of this vast matrix of invisible forces is the image of man. From ancient civilizations to the Renaissance and the modern West, man’s “self-image” has undergone many fundamental transformations — most of them understood little understood. What unfolds across this book is a story of transformations.
Spanning the last five years of research, this book details the battle to shape the images of man across the ages. It is a struggle that includes magicians, clinicians, scientists, philosophers, occultists, artists and producers, among others. From the Neoplatonic perversion of the Renaissance and the creation of a new American mysticism to the emergence of pop culture and modern sci-fi, we lift the veil on the hidden spiritual and cultural war shaping the images of man.
