• 1750 AD Europe the Rosicrucians reemerge as a shadow organisation representing the Western Mystery Tradition, and the Manifestos, reputedly by Christian Rosenkreuz, riddled with complicated analogy, representing an alternative version of Christianity are reissued. These manifestos were either cobbled together by an obscure Historian or someone who discovered the same stories as Dan Brown. These manifestos then may be an early version of the Davinci Code, stories which have cropped up with heart beat regularity since 43 AD. This time they are linked with the arrival of the Portugese into the Kingdom of Ormus in Persia, and the discovery of Mandaeism, the Brethren of Purity, Emanationism and Sufism, in much the same fashion as the Knights Templars would have discovered this knowledge in the 13th Century, only without the printing press. This is the treasure they ‘found under the temple during their excavations’, and would easily be enough to get the Papal priviledges in return for their cooperation, in exactly the same way that Berenger Sauniere does in 1886 AD when he finds his ‘hidden treasure and/or secrets about the history of the Church that threatened the foundations of Catholicism’ in a pillar in his church. The Roman Catholic Church could only proscribe heretical doctrines in the West, and they have never been able to influence knowledge in Islamic territory which has exactly the same origin and history. It is an absolute certainty that this information would eventually filter back to the West alongside all that Classical literature and the salvage from Alexandria and North and East Africa. Coupled with the long traditions in the West along the same lines, the Western Mystery tradition would continually explode, albeit in a shadowy fashion, or as Arthurian Myth, as often as it could get past the Inquisition and in any form it could take. The Celtic Fringe and the Protestant Reformation allowed a continual resurgence of these stories behind the lines of the Catholic Church which continues to this day, as Dan Brown proves.

Aleistair Crowley also issues a Tarot pack which becomes the vehicle for the modern spread of occult Tarot around the World. The Tarot now represents the Universe, it functions as a mirror to self discovery and spiritual guidance, an echo of the ancient pagan practice of mystery cults now made readily available to everyone, and the Tarot’s role as a fortune telling device is firmly placed into the modern mind.

• 1960 AD Transatlantic Hippies emerge with the Counterculture Movement and the Celtic revival strains from Ireland since 1896 and the Modern Druid revival in 18th century England into NeoDruidism as a reaction to World War and classical grammar school and classical university education, which spills into the British Diaspera of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Imagine if the Jewish peoples had been educated for sixteen hundred years to believe that the Nazis were heroes and their ancestors were dirty Barbarians! This is what the young peoples of the West were faced with in their classrooms and the representations of the Roman Empire as heroes by teachers educated on Tacitus! Especially after all the pomposity of the British Empire and all that talk of a thousand year Reich under Hitler! Tolkein blew everything out of the water with the Lord of the Rings and Celtic history became the first choice of many young people entering university. The Roman Catholic Church lost all popularity when Monty Python made the Spanish Inquisition episodes and the Life of Brian and the Holy Grail films, and people began to study the past with new light. Protestant Churches fared no better with their Victorian values in this New Age! Monty Python was so important because these young men all met at university and reacted vigorously against their classical educations. Religion went global with young people going on the Hippie Trail to India, only to come home and become Buddhist or Neopagan as a reaction to the bloody past. Early precursors to the Stop the War Movement and Ban the Bomb coalitions flowered into Humanitarian organisations so important today. Alternative medicine explodes onto the scene as orthodoxy is rejected across the board in disgust for the lies of the past.
