Persian culture and Zoroastrianism are main but often-ignored foundations of Western Culture. Also overlooked are the profound Gnostic ideas in the primordial teachings of Zarathustra. Persian Gnosticism permeated religious history for thousands of years across Eurasia, manifesting as a threat to orthodoxy with such movements as Manichaeism, Zurvanism, Mazdakism, and Sufism. We explore this heretical stream, as well as the rich tradition of Persian magic and folklore — culminating with author Sadegh Hedayat, whose work parallels that of Philip K. Dick, Frans Kafka, Henry Corbin, and other modern masters of imaginal Gnostic thinking.

Let’s find the men behind all curtains that have kept humanity enslaved for millennia. From ancient Egypt to Sumer to the face on Mars, from the Anunnaki to the Illuminati to modern banking cartels — we expose the alien forces that pull the strings of all world governments and religions across history. This quest of astrotheology, revelation, and sacred geometry also reveals the ancient codes that can awaken us to a cosmic destiny written in the very stars.
