Term: Ancient Wisdom
| DEFINITIONS |
Ancient Wisdom: “The Ancient Wisdom” remains a mystery, perhaps a myth, perhaps lost history of a time when “Men were Gods.” Or, was it when “The Gods walked on Earth?” or when “Space Visitors seeded the Earth?” However we treat it, the Ancient Wisdom purportedly included knowledge of great powers and energies, of technologies still surpassing those of the modern world, and of wisdom that would transform our present world into one of Peace, Prosperity, and Progress. It’s the real concept underlying the belief in the “New Age,” and in Novus Ordo Seclorum - a “New Order of the Ages. Real or not, we are pushing back the edge of known history and finding that the artifacts we see— the Great Pyramid, the Great Sphinx, the mountain monuments in Peru, and much more—are much older than previously believed and indicative of technologies beyond still to be “rediscovered” today. Was that Ancient Wisdom hidden away in the Tarot? Are whispers of it contained in the symbols and signs of Freemasonry? Is it waiting for us in the practices of Magick, Yoga, and the Martial Arts? Can it be glimpsed in the ecstasies of Sex Magick? The mystery remains, all our esoteric practices are founded in the belief that we can each solve the mystery and move beyond the still luminescence of the Ancients.Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
