What if Angels say we’re headed for freedom, but algorithms disagree? What if, rather than being boundless, the internet is full of boundaries? What if rituals can push you to confront a platform and reveal truths? Let’s find out!
Rituals
The Supreme Pentagram lets you experience global transgenerational currents expressed through cultural and political ideas. You have higher Sephirothic names and Zodiac signs working through the personal Elements of your microcosm.
The SRP renders the veil between you and those from the position of Samekh and Peh in the Qabalistic Tree of Life. It increases clarity between your subjective reality and the objective. It also includes Enochian names, often related to the Ophanim, the Angels of Chokmah, the second Sephirah.
While I am by no means a ‘high adept’, I found ways to cycle the SRP to sustain peak creativity. And when I do, it unravels critical truths.
There’s an inexplicable urge to do something I’d likely otherwise not. A seemingly insignificant side quest that, when completed, proves game-changing.
The last time, I felt a real need to press on YouTube‘s creator support. Upon navigating some confusing phrasing, it turned out that no matter what, my works are first ‘pulled‘ for viewers based on the location for which they were never meant.
- If the content engages the locals, it gets ‘pulled/suggested’ to a broader audience.
- If it doesn’t, it gets killed prematurely.
Decentralization or False Freedom
Depending on where you’re based, none of this makes sense. Or maybe it makes too much sense. Let’s break it down.
Option 1. Your content is on global but niche topics, like esotericism, philosophy, holistic living, etc, entirely in English. But the algorithm suggests it to the locals first.
The locals expect content in their local language on locally relevant topics. So, they don’t engage, and the algorithm punishes your effort.
Option 2. You create locally engaging content in a locally relevant language. In theory, the algorithm expands the reach, yet nobody engages as they don’t speak that language or resonate.
Angels
Aaron Leitch is one of the leading experts on Enochian Magick: Both GD and Original. In his appearance on the Reicher and Stark podcast, Aaron shares that the angels assured him that we are moving toward a better world and decentralization.
As an idealist fascinated with the occult, I want to trust Aaron. However, my experience as a creator and internet user keeps me skeptical.
Algorithms
In his recent discussions and book Nexus, the historian Yuval Noah Harrary makes some pretty radical claims, which sadly ring a few bells.
Yuval stresses that most engagement on TikTok, Twitter, Threads, etc, doesn’t actually come from humans but from algorithms pretending to be while predetermining what is to be shown and perceived as true or ‘valuable.’
Ghosts, Assumptions, and Decentralization
Hearing that reminded me that about 40% of my viewers are US-based, while about 50% of the remaining 60% are unidentifiable.
Yes, many people watch without logging in or even having an account. But do those same individuals make up all the remaining 60% consistently? Let me know what you think.
The Medieval Ages
This echoes what an occult author replied after I reviewed and wished success to his book. He noted that thanks to the algorithm favoring non-sense and conspiracy theories, that likely won’t happen.
Yuval mentioned something very similar regarding the medieval ages. Back then, Copernicus‘s theories wouldn’t be published by the press, which favored sensational stories about witches and conspiracies that triggered “engagement.” So, here’s your medieval TikTok.
Yuval goes further by noting that truth, value, and perhaps art get buried by ‘more information’ and cheap dopamine hits thanks to algorithms acting as humans.
Although Yuval didn’t say that literally, perhaps such preliminary ‘algorithmic’ engagement can entirely predetermine the fate of a piece regardless of how valuable and well-produced it is.
MTV
Meanwhile, I landed on a Medium article by DanByrneWasTaken, discussing the
creator economy. Dan notes that while in the 80s:
“Getting your music video on MTV pretty much guaranteed financial success.“
Today, that role belongs to the algorithm, but without any transparency. Imagine MTV deciding what to play based on where you live, not the quality of your work. Like Netflix, this is precisely what social platforms do. Dan goes along by saying that:
“The creator economy sold as freedom, a way for creators to make a bit of money for their art, quickly evolved into: make your art suitable as an ad or you’ll never afford reach.“
— DanByrneWasTaken
I’ll add: also make sure it makes sense based on your local area.
Decentralization
Decentralization might be real if you’re in the U.S., Canada, UK, or a cookie-cutter one-trick pony who is all about going hyperlocal, either way.
For the rest of us, the algorithm is the new iron veil dressed like an every-year repeating once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as gurus and growth hackers call it.
Dan notes the algorithm favors gurus like Gary Vee, sucking up all the attention, which is, in fact, limited and the new currency.
Speaking of that, thousands of artists abandon Instagram after finding out that the algorithm deliberately doesn’t notify their audience when they post.
No, this is not entropy. It’s a centralized authority permanently clustering attention around other centralized authorities.
Separation
Based on my research, the Angels really wanted us to unite. As Aaron said, they tend to dislike humans due to things like war. Suppose that war is at the highest point on the separation scale from 1 to 10.
In that case, I wonder where algorithms would fall, as they separate creators and audience, preventing the formation of aggregates of stars based on soul, not location. The technology is clearly available, but centralized authorities use it against us.
Unhealthy Reflections
Such reflections aren’t healthy as they make me question the prophecy of the new eon. Yet Uncle Al also warned us that due to the clashing of paradigms, the first years will be the hardest, similar to the Dark Ages in Europe. Considering Yuval, he was probably right.
Maybe decentralization wasn’t supposed to be geographic or technological. Maybe it’s psychic and spiritual. And maybe the veil we’re really lifting—ritually or digitally—is the one that hides just how centralized things have always been.

Speaking rending the veil, if you need magick manuals or diagrams or struggle with getting in shape or discipline, check my books and digital stores. You’ll likely find something useful.
But that’s just my opinion. Let me know yours. Thank you for your time!
