War in Heaven - The Archon vs The Witch

Happy Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Dia de los Muertos, Samhain...

On this day where the veil is thinnest... please remember, dear intrepid readers... that the following is a modern mythology...

As you recall... in my September 20th post, I suggested that having survived two alleged assassination attempts... having assumed the messianic crown offered him by the faithful and the gullible... the Great Robber Baron/Pretender Trickster King (aka: 45) sought to become... for MAGA Amerika... the Word and Will of God on Earth. And yet he did so from a fractured, confused, deranged mental state of mind.

I proposed viewing the Great Pretender as being analogous to a Gnostic, Archonic, trickster figure. The word Archon is from the ancient Greek: ἄρχων arkhon; ...that means "petty ruler" "prince" or "lord," often used as the title of a specific public office... derived from the same root as monarch. As we all know, the petulant, Great Pretender is nothing if not "petty."

This analogy allows us to utilize the gnostic, "as above, so below" metaphor in developing our mythology. As Archon-in-Chief... the Orange One and his worldly dominion prepare to wage a cultural/religious war... on earth... as it is in heaven. This war is conceived through an eschatological, prophetic vision of end-times and Armageddon, with 45 posing as the Evangelical Right's savior... their messiah... leading them to righteousness... to the promised land of a privileged, White Amerika.

From a mythological Gnostic perspective, Trump is a false prophet... a Great Pretender, casting a shadow of deception over those who would follow him. As Archon-in-Chief, through conniving trickery, he maintains the great veil of Maya that keeps humanity in a state of ignorance. By contrast, and as I outlined in my Rise of the Matriarchy series, the Archon-in-Chief appears to be opposed by an organic, popular uprising of feminine powers. Such feminine power is far older, more ancient that the patriarchy, which was ushered in by warring desert-religious tribes of the first century, BCE. 

The great goddess powers thrived globally from the Paleolithic to the upper Pleistocene era... through ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations, culminating in the Rites of Eleusis (Eleusinian Mysteries), observed regularly from 1600 BCE to 392 CE. The associated cult of Demeter and Persephone, ritualized Persephone's decent to the underworld, her triumphant ascent, the cycles of death and rebirth, and the changing of the seasons.

With the rise and domination of the warring, patrilineal desert-religious tribes, the powers of goddess-based religions were systematically persecuted, figuratively going underground. The power of the priestess evolved to the healing art of the wise woman... ultimately to the perceived practice of witchcraft. Although traditionally, witchcraft connotates the use of magic or supernatural powers to inflict harm or misfortune on others... the Craft has essentially been a sanctuary of feminine power and herbal lore.  

During the ensuing patrilineal domination of the last 2000 years... the Craft and the wise women who practiced various facets of prognostication, healing, and herbology... were systematically persecuted for daring to express their powers and God-given healing talents (roll the Salem Witch Trials footage...). The Church of course has always hated competition, hence the associated persecution of the heretical Gnostics... and as we all know... Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!     

So it is from a Gnostic perspective that we view the parapolitical morass that is the 2024 presidential election. Although the Trump campaign of 2016 may be viewed as a Disruptive Insurgency... this was historic in that it marked a paradigm shift in the nature of politics. Henceforth, the political apparatus mutated from traditional tactics of policy and punditry... to a parapolitical posturing of Cultural War (emphasis on cult) propaganda. In 2020, with his original, organic Meme Magick gone... the Great Pretender turned to a more conventional chicanery.

As demonstrated on January 6, 2021... the Trump machine increasingly took on the worst aspects of the bureaucratic orthodoxy of 20th century political dirty dealing... as championed by Roger Stone. Any magical, insurgic mojo has long since faded. 

Increasingly, since 45's election in 2016... a feminine, energetic insurgency has been on the rise. Beginning with the Pink Pussy Hat woman's march of 2017, and obviously in reaction to the demise of Roe v Wade, the witchy powers of our wives, sisters and daughters have been a wonder to watch. Also increasingly, the Red v Blue, Democrat v Republican political paradigm has given way to a gender-driven revolution.   

And as we have seen... with the amazing phenomena of how the 2024 election has emerged as a gender driven contest, the old paradigm of swing States... and even the Electoral College have taken a back seat to gender-defined battle-lines. It appears as though the outcome will be determined by those who show up to vote in greater numbers... the reproductive justice activist women... or the Bros for Trump. Funny how the Trump campaign recognized this... catering to the Joe Rogan constituency.

Given the historic turnout of women vs men... this Trumpian gambit seems risky.  

Again, in fine Gnostic tradition, the Sophic figure who rises to lead the matriarchy in battle with the Great Pretender and his minions, is of course Kamala Harris. Kamala's success since assuming the helm from Joe Biden points to the rise in something beyond her scope as a politician. Regardless of her personal, worldly strengths and weaknesses, Kamala rises as avatar. Kamala's bid for the presidency has outperformed any political pundit's wildest imaginations. And the reason for that goes deeper than mere politics. Beyond her worldly capacity, Kamala assumes the vestige of Sophia... 

 

And so from a deeper, magickal, Gnostic, War in Heaven perspective... the battle-lines are drawn along the anciently-occurring dichotomy of the Patrilineal, Predator/Dominator paradigm... verses the matrilineal, Earth Goddess, partnership paradigm as defined by Riane Tennenhaus Eisler. This Gnostic view of what is at stake in the fast-approaching election day... will likely NOT be determined by the outcome of the election. This contentious dichotomy is likely just beginning.

So in simplest terms... the power struggles we are witnessing, boil down to a modern manifestation of the ancient Gnostic, as above, so below dynamic. A War in Heaven. An epic battle between the worldly powers of the Archon verses the Witch. And as of this posting... with five days to go until election day... it literally seems like anyone's game to win... driven by voter turnout. Whoever wins... they will have won the battle... not the war. And as we shall see dear intrepid reader, the cosmic, war in heaven struggle has just begun.
