10 Most Popular Occult Books for Secret Mystical Knowledge

January 29, 2024 By Jared Woods

It doesn’t matter to which religion you subscribe; there is always a mystical teaching bubbling beneath. The Gnostic Christians, Esoteric Buddhists, Jewish Kabbalists, and Islamic Sufis are just some examples of mainstream faiths that have sunk deeper into the occult, seeking to merge with the Supreme Being while decoding the secrets of the Universe. Of course, strict dogmas reject these practices as wicked blasphemy, but there’s no stopping human curiosity, and the deviating quests continue to capture spiritual imaginations today.... Read more

Brian “Head” Welch is a celebrated musician as one of the two guitarists from the pioneering nu-metal band Korn.

However, behind the curtain, Brian was struggling, seeking something to save him from himself. As it turns out, that something was Jesus Christ. Early Life Born in Bakersfield, California, 1970, Head always felt like an outcast. His disconnected perception... Read more

Due to the harvest period transitioning into winter, the 31st of October marks a significant position in our planet’s rotation. With origins in paganistic Gaelic traditions, it was said that this seasonal shift thinned the walls between the spirit reality and our land of the living, allowing spooky entities to crossover. Meanwhile, November 1st marked the Christian feast of All Saints’ Day, otherwise known as All Hallows’ Day. The night before, All Hallows’ Eve, eventually evolved into the holiday name... Read more

The world is full of mysterious objects, and the British Museum has stolen most of them! You don’t build the biggest collection of historical pieces on Earth without making some enemies, and the British Museum has made many. Having plundered the globe for such a comprehensive representation of cultures, these famed exhibitions have provoked much understandable controversy. Simply put, countries want their stuff back! Noted requests come with additional potency when the items in question are of spiritual value and... Read more

Since the birth of human contemplation, questions about God’s true nature have haunted our rationale. Gradually, we’ve evolved to favour scientific demonstrations, and as a result, the debate between theists vs. atheists has never been as fierce (or rude). However, this article aims to change that, finally proving God’s existence without any room for debate. I know what you’re thinking. You don’t trust that I can accomplish this feat, primarily because no one has ever achieved such a thing. Ye... Read more

The 10 Creepiest Places in Milan, Italy

There’s an old Italian joke that goes, “What’s the best thing about Milan? The train back to Rome”. When viewing the country’s splendour as a broader package, it’s easy to grasp why Milan is not anyone’s first destination on their Italian itinerary. The art of Florence, the cuisine of Bologna, the history of Rome, the canals of Venice, and the tragedy of Pompeii are just some of the tourist hot spots prioritised above Italy’s second-most populous city. This oversight is... Read more

The Problem with Jesus and Christianity I once heard a joke that said, “Someone should make a religion based on the teachings of Jesus”. As the classic adage goes, it’s funny because it’s true. But perhaps the most admirable attempt to accomplish such a daunting feat can be found in the Jefferson Bible. Now, I consider myself a Christian but only in the appreciation of Christ manner. I also consider myself a Beatlemaniac, a Swiftie, and a Guinness connoisseur. These... Read more

On August 8th, 1969, the free-love hippie era of the 60s ended in bloodshed. Actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends were found massacred in her Hollywood home. Tate had been stabbed 16 times. She was eight months pregnant. This murderous rampage continued over the next two nights, with at least two more deaths before the authorities caught the perpetrators. They were a cult with around 100 (mostly young female) followers, led by the charismatic and dangerously unstable Charles... Read more

The 10 Forgotten Housewives of the Gods and Prophets

June 30, 2023 By Jared Woods

Behind every great male deity is a woman fed up with his god complex. Sad but true, so many religions were sharpened into patriarchal weapons, using carefully selected scriptures to devalue the position of women in society. This oppression worked well for thousands of years, but in modern decades, the female army has taken a stand, demanding equality in all areas, rising to the top, on their way to destroy every man and ultimately conquer the planet. To honour the... Read more
