The Age of Aquarius and Global Warming

Astral Flight Simulation

In this episode we argue that the myths and fairy tales we tell ourselves today are situated firmly within the solar traditions of the West. The precession of the equinox’s are tracked by our mythology and todays myths are no different. Just as the age of Aries, the age of the ram, was ending, the “Lamb” of God was sacrificed on the Cross, but the age of Pisces, symbolized by two fish, was ushered in by Christ feeding the masses with *two fish.* And now, our secular religion of science, whose doctrines are delivered to us by scientist-priests, are telling us that the world will be drowned by melting glaciers and sea level rise, leaving our civilization a wasteland. This just so happens to come precisely when we pass into the age of Aquarius, symbolized by the sea god drowning the world with his bottomless pots of water.

But it also seems, we argue, to coincide with Nietzsches age of nihilism, Spenglers materialistic Winter phase, Evolas spiritual “Iron Age,” which also, according to Evola, corresponds with the Hindu Kali Yuga, an age in which mankind is abandoned by the Gods and the Earth is a spiritual wasteland, waiting for the sleeping king to wake up, the hero to recover the grail, the Caesar to take over, or the Ubermensch to invaluate all values.

Here we attempt to synthesize many books and thinkers that you may hear thrown about and use them to get a better perspective on the modern, digital age.

For those interested in doing further reading, most of our discussion is built upon reading we’ve done from Spenglers Decline of the West, Evolas Ride the Tiger, Revolt Against the Modern World, and The Mystery of the Grail, as well as Joseph Campbels’s Masks of God, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Romance of the Grail, Nietzsches Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Genealogy of Morals, and Twilight of the Idols, and Aion by Carl Jung
