The Fall of Atlantis and the Rise of Dark Sorcery
Atlantis: A Civilization of Light That Fell Into Shadow
The legend of Atlantis, first recorded by Plato, describes a once-enlightened civilization that succumbed to moral decay. Plato wrote that in the beginning the Atlanteans were virtuous, but over time they “suffered a moral decline and became ambitious and greedy.” This ethical downfall angered the gods, ultimately provoking Atlantis’s destruction in a cataclysm. While Plato’s account emphasizes hubris and impiety, later esoteric traditions offer a deeper explanation for Atlantis’s demise. They describe the rise of dark sorcery and forbidden experiments involving powerful spiritual forces.
Atlantis: A Civilization of Light That Fell Into Shadow
In these accounts, the corruption of Atlantis was not only political or moral but deeply occult. The Atlantean priest-kings allegedly began to misuse their spiritual knowledge for selfish ends. They delved into practices that violated divine law. The “ancient priesthood’s misuse of spiritual forces,” as occult historians describe it, created an imbalance in the natural order. That imbalance ultimately precipitated Atlantis’s fall. Manly P. Hall, a 20th-century scholar of the occult, alludes to this in his writings. He notes that black magicians of Atlantis possessed “superhuman powers” which they eventually used to undermine their society’s spiritual integrity. Atlantis lost its golden age when spiritual leaders embraced shadow. Craving power, they unleashed dark, malevolent forces upon the realm.
Sorcerers and the Kingdom of Shadows: Calling Beings from the Deep
One of the most striking esoteric accounts of Atlantean sorcery comes from the mystical text known as the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. In Tablet VIII, “The Key of Mystery,” Thoth (a legendary Atlantean priest) recounts how some Atlanteans invoked terrifying entities. These entities came from realms beyond our world. He speaks of a “Kingdom of Shadows” in the distant past, wherein practitioners of dark magic “delved into darkness.” They used dark magic, calling up beings from the great deep below us. These beings were not part of the normal earthly evolution. Thoth describes them as formless entities of another vibration, invisible to humans. They could only gain physical form through human blood and life-force. In other words, Atlantean sorcerers opened dimensional doorways and summoned dark forces from the cosmic abyss (“the great deep”). Later traditions might call them demons or Archons.
The purpose of these summoning rituals was to gain great power, leveraging otherworldly entities to strengthen the sorcerers’ dominion. However, this came at a horrific cost. Once unleashed, these beings sought to enslave and even replace humanity. Thoth warns that these entities “crept into the Councils” of Atlantis. They used shape-shifting and deception to infiltrate human leadership. To the casual eye they appeared as ordinary men. But when seen with spiritual sight, their true form was revealed. “Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men among men.”
Serpents in Disguise: Archontic Deception and the Fall of Atlantis
This strong image shows snake-like beings hiding as people—an idea much like later stories of Archons or reptile aliens. These beings killed the leaders of Atlantis and took their place, using dark powers to rule over people in secret. In simple words, dark forces took over Atlantis by pretending to be human, running things from behind the scenes. This idea—that evil non-human beings can hide and lead people—matches Gnostic stories of Archons who trick and rule mankind.
The Serpent-Headed Beings: Are They the Archons?
The serpent symbolism is significant. Across various mythologies, the serpent can represent wisdom and healing, as in the serpent on a rod. But it can also symbolize temptation and deception, as in the Eden narrative. The “serpent-headed” overlords of Atlantis described by Thoth align with the idea of Archons in Gnosticism. Archons are cosmic tricksters or tyrants described in Gnostic scripture as having hideous forms. They seek to keep humans spiritually ignorant. Gnostic texts like the Apocryphon of John depict Archons as pseudo-divine rulers of the material world. They are often lion-faced or reptilian and attempt to ensnare souls through deceit.
The Archons’ goal, much like Thoth’s “children of shadows,” is to “enslave man and hinder him from realizing [his] spiritual powers.” The Atlantean story may be an early chapter of this cosmic battle. The Archons (or similar dark entities) effectively took control of Atlantis via the very priests who summoned them. This casts the fall of Atlantis in a dramatically different light. More than a moral fable, it becomes a cautionary tale of occult imprudence. An advanced civilization fell prey to interdimensional predators through the misuse of sexuality and magic.
The Last Battle of Light in Atlantis and the Serpent’s Lingering Shadow
Notably, Thoth states in the Emerald Tablets that some Atlanteans resisted deception. The Masters of Light in Atlantis eventually recognized the serpent-beings and confronted them. Using high magic and a powerful sacred Word, the adepts “lifted the veil from the face of the serpent.” They “cast him forth from among men.” This implies that the Atlantean initiates had to wage a kind of spiritual warfare. They sought to purge their society of the Archontic infestation. For a time, the dark beings were banished “back to the place whence they came.” However, the Tablets ominously warn that some of those shadow-beings “remained, hidden in spaces and planes unknown to man.” “Lived they in Atlantis as shadows… at times they appeared among men.”
In other words, even after the initial victory of the forces of Light, a residue of evil lingered in Atlantis’ twilight years. These survivors of the “children of the shadows” would bide their time, awaiting opportunities to resurface. The eventual sinking of Atlantis—whether through divine retribution or unintended consequences of these dark experiments—scattered light and dark adepts across the world. Esoteric lore holds that survivors from Atlantis carried their knowledge into new lands. Some intended to continue the path of wisdom, and others to continue the machinations of sorcery. This set the stage for the next battleground: ancient Egypt, widely seen as Atlantis’s spiritual heir.
“Speak I of Ancient Atlantis, speak of the days of the Kingdom of Shadows, speak of the coming of the children of shadows. Out of the great deep were they called by the wisdom of earthmen, called for the purpose of gaining great power. Far in the past before Atlantis existed, men there were who delved into darkness, using dark magic, calling up beings from the great deep below us. Forth came they into this cycle. Formless were they of another vibration, existing unseen by the children of earthmen.”
“Only through blood could they have formed being. Only through man could they live in the world. In ages past were they conquered by the Masters, driven below to the place when they came. But some there were who remained, hidden in spaces and planes unknown to man. Lived they in Atlantis as shadows, but at times they appeared among men. Aye, when the blood was offered, forth came they to dwell among men.”
“In the form of man moved they amongst us, but only to sight were they as are men. Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the Councils, taking forms that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o’er man. Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the kingdom of shadows to destroy man and rule in his place.”
Emerald Tablet VIII: The key Mysteries, Thoth the Atlantean
The Corruption of the Egyptian Mysteries and the Djedhi
Egypt as Atlantis Reborn: A New Battleground
After Atlantis fell, stories say its wise teachers moved to safer places to save their knowledge. Many writers on hidden history say Egypt took in this lost wisdom and became the new home for its light. Hall said Egypt’s good weather and safe land “gave a perfect place for deep study” and work with higher knowledge. Early Egypt held Mystery Schools that kept great skills in stars, building, and spirit—many say Thoth brought this deep knowledge. These Egyptian teachings shared truths about the soul’s life, the path of learning, and the power of the Djed pillar.
The priesthood guarding this knowledge resembled the “Djedhi,” symbolizing the Djed pillar’s stability and inspiring the modern concept of Jedi. Some researchers have drawn parallels between Egypt’s Djedhi priesthood and Jedi knights. Both were warrior-priests who mastered hidden forces. Egypt’s Djedhi reportedly mastered serpentine power, raising the Uraeus serpent of kundalini—symbolized by the Djed—and preserved ancient esoteric wisdom. These priest-scholars of Egypt likely upheld Atlantean values. They guided Pharaohs justly and uplifted the populace through sacred science and spiritual truth.
The Defection of the Djedhi: When Light Turned to Darkness
Sadly, like in Atlantis, not all stayed true to the light they held. In time, groups formed inside Egypt’s temples—some priests, driven by pride, greed, or dark spirits, used their powers wrongly. Manly P. Hall said, “the black magicians of Atlantis kept using their powers [in Egypt] and ruined the old Mysteries.” This means dark Atlantean sorcerers, or those who followed their ways, entered Egypt’s holy schools and twisted them from inside.
They established themselves as a sacerdotal caste—a rigid priestly hierarchy that slowly drifted away from genuine wisdom to power-hungry dogmatism. Hall goes on to explain that these sorcerers “usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates.” They “seized the reins of spiritual government.” Power-hungry occult charlatans pushed aside genuine initiates who served truth and enlightenment. They seized control of the sacred temples. Certain Djedhi priests defected to the dark side, abandoning their spiritual mission. They aligned with forces of corruption and deception. These turncoat priests embraced black magic, abandoning humanity’s elevation. They chose manipulation, superstition, and false miracles to maintain control.
The Scarlet Council and the Hijacking of Spiritual Power
The culmination of this hostile takeover was the formation of what Hall calls the “Scarlet Council,” a sinister shadow-government behind the throne. He writes: “The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the Scarlet Council — a committee of arch-sorcerers elevated to power by the priesthood.” We can understand the Scarlet Council as high black magicians, “scarlet” perhaps referencing blood rites or the Scarlet Woman archetype. These occult elites essentially wielded true power in late-period Egypt, manipulating state religion solely to serve their own agenda.
Their influence turned Egyptian state religion into a control system—dogmatic, fear-based, and stripped of authentic mystical knowledge and insight. Priests demanded absolute obedience from the populace. They threatened spiritual doom to enforce their authority and suppress independent spiritual exploration. Just as Archons infiltrated Atlantis’s ruling councils, their ideological heirs infiltrated Egyptian temples. They spread the same corrupting influence and deception. This infiltration ultimately corrupted the Egyptian Mysteries. It repeated the spiritual downfall that once brought ruin to enlightened Atlantis long ago.
Once in power, these black magicians took systematic steps to consolidate their control over spiritual knowledge. Hall details their strategy: they began “the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom.” They ensured “none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order.” In practice, this meant they deliberately mutilated the sacred rituals and texts. On the surface, the traditional initiations and ceremonies continued. This gave an impression that the Mysteries were intact.
How the Sorcerer-Priests Created an Occult Monopoly Over Spiritual Knowledge
Corrupt priests distorted or erased inner teachings, so sincere neophytes advanced without receiving the knowledge they rightfully deserved. By altering the initiatory path, sorcerer-priests blocked potential masters of light. This occurred unless initiates submitted to the sorcerers’ secret society. These dark initiates deliberately created an occult monopoly. They ensured no enlightened challengers could threaten their power or reveal higher spiritual truths.
Idolatry, Deception, and the Spiritual Enslavement of the Masses
Furthermore, these corrupt priests introduced idolatry and superstition to ensnare the masses. Early initiates viewed Egyptian gods and statues as symbols. They were tools to meditate on cosmic principles, not literal divine beings. Black magicians corrupted this view, urging people to worship images. They promoted false, misleading interpretations of sacred symbols. They created complex theologies only they could explain. This made the people spiritually dependent on manipulative, self-serving priestly intermediaries. Hall laments that this deception stripped the masses of understanding. It reduced them to ignorant slaves ruled by spiritual impostors.
In late Egypt, priests kept people in spiritual darkness, using fear of gods and selling salvation to gain wealth and power. This control matches Gnostic ideas of Archons tricking and trapping people through lies, fake images, and fear-based beliefs. Archons, working through the Scarlet Council, took over Egypt’s religion and used it to rule and control the people. Some writings say priests used sick sexual acts, ruining holy rites to gain dark pleasure and greater power over others. Stories of temple sex or wild cults likely came from this fall, though old records may be false or missing.
The Hidden Lineage of Light and the Underground War Against the Priesthood of Shadows
We must remember that true initiates endured. They followed Ma’at and actively walked the sacred path of the Right Hand. Righteous priests and pharaohs actively preserved the genuine Mysteries. They resisted the growing corruption infecting Egyptian religious and spiritual traditions. Pharaoh Akhenaten’s Aten-centered revolution challenged Amun’s priesthood. It struck directly at the sorcerer class and their deeply rooted occult influence. In Hellenistic times, the Essenes and Therapeutae possibly safeguarded secret wisdom. They kept the ancient teachings alive in purer, hidden forms. Still, the Scarlet Council’s corruption ran deep. Hall claims humanity “still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt.”
Deceptive systems born in Atlantis and refined in Egypt spread through secret societies, cults, and corrupt clergy across history. True Djedhi—servants of light—went underground, concealing their wisdom to shield it from persecution by power-hungry sorcerers and false priests. Dark priests left a legacy that birthed later occult brotherhoods devoted to black magic and the manipulation of spiritual power. This legacy ignited an eternal war that persists in many forms—a war waged over humanity’s most sacred energy: sex.
“These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passed through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled.
Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise had erected solely as symbols for study and meditation. False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual impostors. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt.”
Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of Ages
Sex, Lust, and the War Between White and Black Magicians
Sexual Energy: The Divine Spark or Demonic Trap
Among all the powers available to mystics and sorcerers, sexual energy is regarded as the most potent and spiritually significant. Esoteric teachers from East and West agree that the sexual force (creative life force) can either elevate a person to the divine or, if misused, plunge them into darkness. The 20th-century Gnostic adept Samael Aun Weor emphasized this point unequivocally. He taught that in the human being, the sexual energy is literally the battleground of the forces of Light and Darkness: “From the dawn of life a great battle has existed between the Powers of Light and the Powers of Darkness. The hidden root of this battle is in sex.”
In his view, sex is the root of all spiritual conflict. It holds the key to either liberation or bondage. Those who learn to transmute sexual energy—to sublimate the raw lust into spiritual fire—can attain enlightenment. This is symbolized by the rise of the sacred serpent, known as Kundalini, the serpent power, up the spine. In contrast, those who indulge in lust for its own sake, abusing the sexual force, cause that serpent power to descend. This descent leads to spiritual disintegration. Samael Aun Weor often framed this as the fight between white magic and black magic. It’s a battle between initiates of the right-hand path and left-hand path. They are distinguished by how they handle the seminal energy.
The Christic vs. Luciferic Path: Sexual Energy as a Double-Edged Sword
In many of his works, Samael Aun Weor describes sexual energy as a two-edged sword. He calls it “the Christic power” when harnessed chastely, and “the Luciferic power” when expelled in orgasmic lust. For instance, he explains that if a man and woman unite with love and retain their creative fluids, they generate extraordinary spiritual force. This force awakens the Kundalini—the divine serpent—and “we are transformed into terribly divine gods.” However, “when we spill the semen, the cosmic currents are lost… and the Luciferic forces of evil… penetrate the souls of the two beings.”
The Great Divide: White Magicians vs. Black Magicians
Samael Aun Weor explains that during orgasmic loss, the couple fall from transcendence as “Cupid withdraws” and Eden’s gates close. This dramatic moment mirrors Eden’s story—Adam and Eve fell through the serpent’s temptation, symbolizing sexual energy misused esoterically. Gnostics view lust not just as moral failure but as metaphysical catastrophe that drains divine light from the human soul.
Throughout history, initiates who understood the formidable power of sex have divided into two camps. Weor puts it succinctly: “The great battle between the Powers of Light and Darkness is as ancient as eternity…The backbone of the great battle is sex.” According to him and many occult teachers, White Magicians are those who follow the path of chastity or sexual transmutation. This path is often called the path of the perfect matrimony or alchemy. Black Magicians are those who indulge in fornication, adultery, and the unbridled lust for pleasure.
Ascending vs. Descending Serpent: Kundalini’s Role in White and Black Magic
In Weor’s words: “The White Magicians want the Serpent to rise. The black magicians want the Serpent to descend. The White Magicians follow the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. The black magicians love adultery and fornication.” Here “Serpent” refers to the Kundalini. If it rises up the spinal column, it illuminates the initiate. This is symbolized by the uraeus serpent on the forehead of Egyptian initiates. If it descends—through expulsion of energy and indulgence in lust—it forms the “Kundabuffer” or tail of the devil. This is an energetic deformity that ties one to the lowest realms. This poetic description essentially means: white magicians seek to use sex to ennoble the soul. Black magicians use it to enchain the soul.
Duality in Esoteric Traditions: The Battle Between Purity and Corruption
Many occult traditions echo this dichotomy. Tantric teachings in the East speak of the left-hand tantra, involving ritualized indulgence in taboo sexual acts. Right-hand tantra emphasizes meditation and control. Gnostic Christians distinguished the “Sons of Light” from the “Sons of Darkness.” The latter “live in the region of Darkness… consumed in the fire of their own lust.” In medieval legends, righteous knights or alchemists guarded the secret of the Holy Grail. The Grail is often interpreted as a symbol of the sexual mysteries and the womb of the divine mother. Dark Sorcerers perverted these mysteries for selfish aims.
Samael Aun Weor even asserts that every true spiritual master who teaches White Sexual Magic has a “double” or antithesis. This antithesis teaches Black Sexual Magic, creating a constant tension in esoteric circles. For example, if the Essenes preserved chastity and prayer, there were contemporaneous cults in the Middle East practicing temple prostitution. Others engaged in sexual orgies in honor of degenerate gods—each claiming to be the correct practice. This polarity suggests that wherever genuine initiation schools arose, corrupt factions also emerged. They twisted similar rituals toward egoic ends.
Lust as a Weapon of Spiritual Enslavement
They understood more than hedonism—they knew controlling others’ sexual energy grants immense power and influence over human behavior. When elites trap people in cycles of gratification or guilt, they weaken their spirits and easily manipulate their perceptions. Samael Aun Weor warns that those consumed by lust remain trapped in lower realms, living beyond death as if physical. He says they carry “the tail of Satan,” an egoic extension dragging their souls into darkness and infernal spiritual bondage. Lust enslaves the soul—it chains consciousness to ego and flesh, leaving addicts powerless to rise into higher spiritual awareness.
The symbolism of the descending serpent encapsulates this tragedy. In positive symbolism, a serpent—or dragon—ascending is a sign of illumination. Think of the Kundalini serpent climbing, or Moses lifting the bronze serpent to heal the Israelites. But a serpent forced downward is the archetype of the demonic serpent consuming its own tail. This is the Ouroboros in its negative aspect. Or it is the biblical serpent that crawls on its belly and feeds on dust.
Samael Aun Weor explicitly ties this image to the misuse of sex: when one abuses the creative force, “Kundalini descends to the Atomic Infernos of man and becomes the Tail of Satan.” Samael Aun Weor uses “Tail of Satan” to describe an energetic appendage in black magicians’ astral bodies—called Kundabuffer. This counter-Kundalini binds the person to descending energies, keeping them trapped in the abyss and ruled by dark forces.
Historical Conflicts: The War Over Sacred Sexual Energy Through the Ages
White and black magicians have fought over sexual energy in many forms. Each battle reflected the era’s culture and context. In Atlantis, priestly orders clashed—those honoring the Law of One opposed those serving the Lords of Belial through corruption. Egypt revealed this war in rival priesthoods. One side practiced sacred sex rites; the other distorted them into perverse rituals. During the Middle Ages, alchemists spoke of spiritual transmutation. They faced persecution from a Church mired in sexual scandal and hypocrisy. Time after time, impure forces suppressed sacred knowledge. They attacked those who practiced purity while concealing their own degenerate behavior and secrets.
Inner Warfare: Angels and Demons Battling Within the Seed
Samael Aun Weor provides a stark image of this battle on the individual level. “In the semen the Angels and demons fight to the death. The semen is the battleground.” Angels—the forces of light—try to transmute that energy upward. Demons—the forces of darkness—urge the person to squander it in lust or illicit outlets. Anyone on a spiritual path feels this battle internally as temptation versus aspiration. Dark forces wield the descending serpent—lust, obsession, and temptation. They enslave people by turning their passions against them. In contrast, individuals who cultivate the rising serpent through prayer, love, and transmutation liberate themselves from bondage and illusion. True spiritual paths—Tantra, Taoist alchemy, esoteric Christianity—all teach transforming instinctual energy into higher spiritual consciousness and inner realization. Institutions often oppose or corrupt these teachings. They consciously or unconsciously advance the Archontic agenda to trap souls in lower chakras.
Sex is far more than a biological function in the esoteric worldview. It is the microcosmic arena of the cosmic war. As long as humanity remains enslaved by lust—driven by what the Gnostics would call the Archons’ influence—the dark sorcerers have power. They gain a foothold to siphon spiritual energy and control society. But if individuals reclaim their sexual power and sanctify it, they empower themselves. They also weaken the entire matrix of Archontic control. This dynamic has carried into the present age, where new forms of influence have emerged. Still, the underlying battle over sexual energy continues unabated.
“From the dawn of life, a great battle has raged between the powers of light and the powers of darkness. The secret root of the battle lies in sex. The correct interpretation of the mysteries of sex exists. The white magicians never ejaculate the semen. The black magician always ejaculate the semen.”
“The white magicians make the igneous serpent of our magical powers ascend through the medullar canal. The black magicians make the snake descend towards the atomic infernos of the human being. God’s and demons live in eternal struggle. The God’s defend the doctrine of chastity. The demons hate chastity. In sex, the root of the conflict between Gods and demons is found.”
“The semen is the human beings Astral liquid. The semen is the Astral Light. The semen is the key to all powers and the key to all empires. Th Astral Light has two poles, one positive and the other negative. The ascending serpent is positive. The descending serpent is negative. When it ascends, it is the brazen serpent that healed the Israelites in the wilderness. When it descends, it is the tempting serpent of Eden.“
Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
The Archons and the Spiritual War of the Modern World
Dark Orders and Hidden Hands in Human History
The fall of Atlantis and the corruption of Egypt were not the end of dark sorcery’s tale, but rather the beginning of a long historical continuum. The same currents of black magic—the thirst for power, the willingness to exploit spiritual forces and human weakness—have persisted into modern times, often via secret societies and occult orders. As Hall observed, humanity still suffers from the ancient priestcraft’s machinations. After Egypt, we can trace this hidden tradition through Greek and Roman cults, medieval orders, Renaissance circles, and modern secret groups.
In the 14th century, authorities accused the Knights Templar of occult sexual rites and forbidden worship. These charges echoed ancient sorcerer-priest accusations. During the Enlightenment, groups like the Illuminati and elite Freemasons reportedly guarded esoteric knowledge. This knowledge was both alchemical and goetic in nature. Mainstream historians often dismiss these claims as conspiracy. Yet patterns show arch-sorcerers consistently operate from shadows using hidden organizations.
Hidden Hands and Hybrid Bloodlines: The Archontic Influence in Modern Power Structures
One way the modern heirs of the Scarlet Council maintain influence is by infiltrating institutions of power—governments, religious hierarchies, financial systems. This mirrors how their Atlantean forebears infiltrated kings’ courts. The infamous concept of an “Illuminati” controlling world affairs reflects this ancient pattern. So does the idea of reptilian shapeshifters in authority, popularized by authors like David Icke. This is essentially a contemporary retelling of the Emerald Tablet scenario. “Beings… taking positions of authority and govern[ing] the destiny of humanity.” As one commentary on Thoth’s tablets puts it, these reptilian/Archontic elites may explain our endless wars. They may also explain why there is constant bloodshed in the world.
Hidden hands deliberately engineer war, strife, and suffering to feed on chaos and harvest negative emotions from humanity. Modern esoteric teachings say Archons once mixed with people, then hid behind hybrid bloodlines posing as ordinary human rulers. This idea suggests certain elite bloodlines or secret cabals may carry genetic or energetic influence from ancient Atlantean dark forces. Though hard to prove, these claims reflect a deeper truth. Power-lust drives history, often making its agents seem inhumanly ruthless.
Archontic Influence in Pop Culture and Sexual Media
Modern elites replaced declining state religions with tools like mass media, entertainment, and global telecommunications to control consciousness. Though neutral by design, these technologies often spread messages that trap people in lower awareness and spiritual disconnection. Hyper-sexualized culture dominates—ads exploit lust, shows equate worth with sex appeal, and nonstop imagery conditions minds more than ever before. Ancient Archons used temple illusions and fear of gods. Today they manipulate primal instincts through screens that reach billions daily.
Modern Gnostic writers say dark forces still use human sexuality to cause division and gain control over people’s lives. One modern source says, “The Archons were using human sexual energy since late Atlantis, trying to cause more separation.” This source says Archons still plant thoughts and habits that divide men and women and turn sex into conflict. They push both excess and division—spreading hate between sexes, mocking deep love, and teaching cold, lifeless ideas about sex. The mention of “late Atlantis” points to a long plan—these forces have shaped their tricks over thousands of years.
Historical Attacks on Sacred Sexuality and the Feminine Principle
One clear example often shared in hidden history is the Kurgan invasion of Old Europe around 5,000 years ago. Some say this attack came from dark forces and crushed goddess-worship and peaceful, equal ways of living and loving. In that time, rape and control were used to hurt people deeply. The goal was mainly to break the spirit of the sacred feminine. Even if one doubts this case, the pattern stands. The holy side of sex and the feminine have long been attacked. These acts keep sex as a tool for power. They prevent it from becoming a path to freedom and the soul’s higher growth.
The Digital Age of Lust: How Modern Media Amplifies Sexual Degradation
In the 21st century, the advent of high-speed internet and mass media has amplified these effects exponentially. The prevalence of pornography is a case in point. Never in history have so many humans, including youth, been exposed to explicit sexual content with such frequency and immediacy. Samael Aun Weor’s warnings from decades ago sound eerily apt for today’s world: “Those who engage in lustful conversations, those who read pornographic magazines, those who attend cinemas where they show passionate erotic films, waste enormous reserves of sexual energy… wasting it miserably in the satisfaction of their brutal mental passions.” What he wrote regarding “magazines” and “cinemas” in the mid-20th century applies even more strongly to internet videos and social media now.
Energetic Drain and Social Control: The Vicious Cycle of Hyper-Sexualization
The key point is that constant stimulation without transmutation leads to a drain of the vital force. People become addicted, desensitized, and energetically depleted. Modern science even notes correlations: heavy pornography consumption is linked to dopamine imbalances and desensitization to real-life intimacy. It’s also linked to various psycho-social issues. In esoteric terms, such individuals become easy prey for Archontic influence. Their consciousness is bogged down in unquenchable desire, guilt, and often shame cycles. They might feel empty or depressed, having “wasted the finest matter of sex,” as Aun Weor says. They then seek even more stimulus to fill the void. It becomes a vicious circle by design.
Additionally, the media’s glamorization of promiscuity and the detachment of sex from any sacred context play into the Archons’ hands. While a healthy, respectful expression of sexuality is natural, the extreme commodification of sex turns it into a tool for manipulation. Hyper-sexualization in advertising, music videos, and film creates a population that is constantly titillated but spiritually unfulfilled. People become distracted from higher aspirations. Governments and corporations—wittingly or unwittingly—can then steer public opinion and consumer behavior with ease. They use sex appeal as the hook. It is the old Roman strategy of “bread and circuses,” updated for modern times. Give people abundant erotic spectacle (circus) and base entertainment. They will be less likely to question deeper power structures.
How Institutions Became Infiltrated by Spiritual Parasites
The Archontic influence extends beyond media into the very structures of modern life. Consider how war and corruption persist globally, despite humanity’s widespread acknowledgement of their devastation. One perspective is that leaders and nations often act as if under an irrational compulsion. They chase power, wealth, or ideological “victories” that ultimately lead to mutual ruin. Some esoteric commentators argue that Archonic forces feed on the negative energies of war—fear, hatred, and pain. These forces subtly encourage conflicts. The constant “bloodshed in the world” mentioned earlier can be seen as a kind of mass sacrifice. This sacrifice sustains the Archons’ dominion.
Meanwhile, institutions that should ideally promote virtue—religious organizations, schools, governments—frequently fall into scandals of greed and sexual abuse. When a church is rocked by pedophilia cases, or a charity’s funds are embezzled by its leaders, or a tech company fosters destructive social media addiction, these could be interpreted as Archontic “viruses” manifesting in the system, perverting noble aims into harm. Gnostic philosophy actually personifies this effect: it teaches that the Demiurge and Archons counterfeit everything good in order to entrap souls. Thus, for every genuine spiritual movement, a false, co-opted version arises; for every liberating technology, a new addiction follows.
The Cabal and Deep State: Modern Sorcery and Sexual Manipulation
In our era, secret society influence is often discussed in the context of the so-called “Cabal” or “Deep State.” These terms refer to a behind-the-scenes network of elite figures in finance, politics, and occult orders who purportedly coordinate to direct human events. Some conspiracy researchers claim this modern Cabal engages in ritual abuse, sexual blackmail (e.g., honey traps, or more disturbingly, the exploitation of minors as seen in certain high-profile scandals), and mind control techniques—all bearing the hallmarks of dark sorcery. Such claims are hard to substantiate fully, but the patterns recall what we have seen: the use of sex as both bait and weapon. Where ancient sorcerers might have used enchantresses or incubus/succubus demons to seduce and control, modern sorcerers may use intelligence agents, bribery with carnal pleasures, or compromising recordings to manipulate officials. The tools have changed with technology, but the underlying darkness has not.
Breaking the Spell: Reclaiming Sacred Sexuality to Defeat Archontic Influence
In summary, the Archons in the modern world can be understood as the continuation of an ancient strategy: to enslave humanity by misdirecting its sexual energy and perverting its institutions. The faces have changed (priests in robes may become media moguls in suits), but the string-pullers—those malevolent forces and their human accomplices—operate with the same intent. They thrive on a humanity that is ignorant of its true spiritual power, divided against itself, and shackled by lust, fear, and materialism. Yet, awareness of this agenda is growing. As problems like hyper-sexualization and spiritual emptiness become evident, more people seek answers in the very wisdom that was suppressed. To truly overcome these influences requires a return to the sacred—especially a reclamation of the sanctity and power of sex.
“They utilize our lower vibrational energy as a source of nourishment, particularly when it is expressed through fear, anger, or chaotic emotional states. The propaganda disseminated by the global elite, which is often presented under the guise of news, relies heavily on emotional manipulation and fear-inducing narratives to elicit a sense of anxiety. This fear-driven energy not only sustains the Archons but also enhances the control exerted by their elite puppets on a global scale.”
“The imprudent use of our sexual energy acts as a delightful seven-course meal, providing ample sustenance for them. The depletion of our life-force energy, whether resulting from masturbation or sexual ejaculation driven by pleasure and lust, serves to empower them. This seminal loss not only empowers them but also contributes to our own weakening.”
“During masturbation sessions involving pornography, beings from the astral realm extract energy from your astral self. This occurrence is, in essence, a calculated form of black magic. The Archons linked to the seven deadly sins represent potent demonic forces. These entities are aligned with the seven planetary principles and project astral force fields that influence our chakras. Out of the seven Archons, we shall concentrate exclusively on one.”
“Asmodeus, which can also be spelled as Asmodee, Osmodeus, or Osmodai, serves as the Archon associated with the domain of lust. The planet that is connected to this Archon is Venus, and it is associated with the zodiac sign Scorpio. The Malleus Maleficarum, published in 1486, “designates Asmodeus as the demon representing lust. He commands a total of 72 legions of demons.” He provokes gambling activities and oversees all gambling venues in the infernal court.
Some writers interpret Asmodeus as a figure representing revenge. Today, the rampant spread of internet pornography is acknowledged as an easily attainable and seemingly effortless form of digital sorcery. As previously highlighted, this phenomenon can effectively drain the energies of its male victims. Consequently, this Archon has corrupted a large portion of the human race. His dominion encompasses the internet, Hollywood, and the media as a whole.”
Known as Ashmedai in ancient texts, this archon or demon derives his name from the Persian “Aeshma-Daeva.” It is undeniable that under his influence, human desires are manipulated to advance the broader agenda of the archons, steering both men and women away from virtue and into moral decline. He operates not overtly, but through subtle influences, embedding his presence within the constructs of human creation. The spread of indecent images, writings, and other vulgarities can be traced to his influence on those who promote such filth.
“He whispers to artists, writers, and merchants of these carnal wares, seducing them with promises of wealth and power, only to bind them to his eternal servitude. The instruments of Asmodeus are varied. He uses screens that function like enchanted mirrors, capturing the soul and trapping it in a cycle of yearning and despair. Through these gateways, he creates false images of intimacy and connection, all while breaking the bonds of genuine human interaction. Consequently, those caught in his web become isolated, their spirits eroded by the endless pursuit of satisfaction that can never truly be fulfilled.”

The Path to Spiritual Liberation: Overcoming the Archons and Dark Sorcerers
Transmutation: Reversing the Fall Through Sacred Alchemy
Sexual transmutation is the method of spiritual awakening. If lust and the misuse of sex are primary tools of enslavement, then the converse—chastity or sexual transmutation—is the primary tool of liberation. The idea of sexual transmutation is that the raw procreative energy, instead of being dissipated solely in sensual gratification, is consciously redirected to rejuvenate the body and enlighten the mind. This does not necessarily mean lifelong celibacy but rather a disciplined approach to sexuality, often within a loving partnership, where the goal is mutual spiritual elevation rather than mere release. Samael Aun Weor, for example, taught the practice of White Tantric alchemy where a married couple engages in intercourse but refrains from orgasm, retaining the semen and creative fluids.
Restoring Eden: Kundalini Awakening and the Power of Sexual Transmutation
In doing so, they accumulate what he called “solar energy” and cause the Kundalini (the sacred fire) to awaken and ascend. He wrote that by re-establishing the “sexual system of Eden” — meaning sexuality free of lust and intentional waste — “the sacred Serpent of Kundalini will arise victoriously again to convert us into Gods.” This striking statement aligns with the concept found in many traditions that humans can regain a paradisal state (symbolized by Eden or a golden age) by overcoming the fall (often symbolized by the orgasmic expulsion or the forbidden fruit). Transmutation builds inner power: physically it refines the body’s energies, emotionally it fosters genuine love over selfish pleasure, and mentally it increases clarity and creativity. From a mystical perspective, it also opens the higher chakras and connects the practitioner with the Divine.
Sexual Energy Mastery: Building a Shield of Light Against Darkness
Other spiritual traditions also emphasize this. In Indian Yoga, brahmacharya (usually translated as chastity or control of sexual impulse) is one of the yamas (ethical precepts) and is said to greatly increase ojas, a form of spiritual vigor. In Daoist (Taoist) alchemy, there are practices for men to have intercourse without ejaculation and for women to channel menstrual or sexual energy inward, aiming to transform jing (essence) into qi (energy) and then into shen (spirit). All these practices mirror the same core idea: the most powerful energy we have (sexual) must be conserved and refined to achieve enlightenment. Conversely, spilling or abusing it keeps one tied to the wheel of mundane cravings.
Thus, a clear step to overcoming Archontic influence is for individuals to take back control of their own sexual energies. By doing so, they generate a kind of “energy shield” — the aura brightens, the chakras revolve with higher vibrations, and negative entities find it far more difficult to latch on or manipulate. In the Emerald Tablets, Thoth hints at this protective effect, saying only those masters who are “bright” (pure) can safely call forth and control the dark beings, binding them in the flesh. In practical terms, this suggests that one who has mastered their own lower nature can command power over external darkness: self-mastery begets authority in the spiritual realms.
Gnosis: Divine Wisdom as Armor Against the Archons
Along with personal energy mastery, knowledge and wisdom are crucial in counteracting Archontic deception. The very term “Gnostic” means one who knows — specifically, one who knows the truth of the spirit and thus cannot be lied to by false gods. Gnostic teachings from antiquity assert that the Archons’ primary hold on humanity is through ignorance (agnosis). As the Apocryphon of John and other texts relate, the archons blind humanity to its divine origin; they enforce spiritual amnesia so that people identify only with the flesh and the external world. Therefore, the acquisition of divine wisdom — insight into one’s true Self and the cosmic order — is liberating.
It’s said that when a person awakens to their inner divinity (the “divine spark” within, a fragment of the true God), the archons lose their power over that individual. A modern summary of Gnostic cosmology explains that the Demiurge and archons “keep man’s spirit as a slave of the material world, ignorant of his divine condition. Hence the need for a spiritual savior… to offer redeeming gnosis”. In Gnosticism, Christ is seen not just as a sacrifice, but as one who brings truth and shows the way. He shines light on the Archons’ lies and helps people remember their true home with the Father above all things. More broadly, any real truth that breaks the Archons’ spell and wakes people up acts as a kind of savior.
Revealing Hidden Wisdom: How Knowledge of Sacred Sexuality Breaks Archontic Control
In the context of our discussion, spreading knowledge about the sanctity of sexual energy and the reality of spiritual warfare is itself an act of illumination that weakens the Archons. When individuals realize, for example, that pornography or compulsive lust is not just a personal quirk but part of a deliberate oppressive mechanism, they may feel empowered to resist it, to seek something higher. Education on these matters has often been esoteric (hidden) because open talk of sex and spirit was taboo or dangerous in many cultures. But now, through books and the internet, more people are encountering these ideas.
Samael Aun Weor’s teachings, the Emerald Tablets translations, Manly Hall’s writings, and others are widely accessible, giving seekers intellectual and intuitive tools to understand their condition. With true wisdom, a person can perceive the tactics of dark sorcerers—seeing through propaganda, rejecting divisive ideologies, and not falling prey to seductive but soul-killing temptations. As the saying goes, “Knowledge is power,” and in this case knowledge is literal power to break invisible chains.
Reclaiming Sexual Energy and Escaping Spiritual Enslavement
The final step is the integration of knowledge with practice—living a life that is conscious, spiritually attuned, and sexually sovereign. To reclaim control over sexual energy means to neither fear it nor be enslaved by it, but to honor it as a sacred gift. This can take different practical forms for different people. For a single person, it might mean practicing celibacy while channeling creative energy into art, study, or prayer, essentially sublimating the sexual impulse internally. For someone in a relationship, it could mean approaching lovemaking as a form of worship or meditation, perhaps studying the methods of Tantra or Taoist cultivation to connect deeply without depletion. In all cases, it means avoiding pornography, avoiding casual or exploitative sex, and steering clear of the glamorization of lust that society presents. Instead, one consciously cultivates purity of mind and heart. Purity here is not prudishness, but the radiant clarity that comes when sexual energy is clean (untainted by guilt, coercion, or excess).
Breaking Archontic Chains: Transmuting Lust, Fear, and Anger through Spiritual Practice
Moreover, escaping spiritual enslavement entails breaking other chains the Archons use. Lust is intertwined with fear and anger—the lower emotions the Gnostics call byproducts of the counterfeit spirit. By working on sexuality, one often finds the strength to also confront fears and curtail anger, because all these energies transmute upward together. Traditional spiritual practices support this process: meditation to develop awareness and calm the mind, prayer or mantra to invoke higher vibrations, and ethical living to strengthen one’s character. For instance, reciting sacred words or prayers can be seen as analogous to the “Word that only a man can pronounce” which Thoth said could unveil and banish the serpent beings. In many traditions, vocal prayer or mantra is believed to protect against demonic forces (the Archons), showing again that ancient wisdom and divine names have power over the shadows.
“These so-called elite families and corporate organizations constitute the primary threat. Their substantial wealth and influence enable them to exert control over governments worldwide. The entire dichotomy of East versus West is rooted in a quest for control and is systematically orchestrated. This system represents the actual adversary, thriving on the weaknesses, distractions, and addictions of individuals. Its goal is to obstruct your pursuit of self-mastery and spiritual advancement. Your evolution and mastery over yourself are the most significant forms of rebellion.“
“Orgasm signifies a climactic zenith of sexual and electrical dynamics, in which the nervous system is overwhelmed by sexual energy, resulting in a “short circuit” or a large and potentially damaging outflow of energy. In a previous chapter and in the religious texts, the concept of orgasm is termed fornication. This term is derived from a root that implies “to burn.”
“The orgasm serves as a symbolic representation of the “forbidden fruit” from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. The release of semen, or ejaculation, is linked to a decrease in both consciousness and vibrational energy. This decrease is subtle, yet it compounds over time. Each ejaculation results in a slight drop, and with increased frequency, this drop becomes more significant. The indulgence in this forbidden fruit (orgasm) represents a departure from higher levels of consciousness and vibrational frequency.“
“It’s important to stress that a detailed exploration of today’s global situation shows that humanity is heavily involved in a spiritual war. To triumph in this personal struggle, which will aid in uplifting the collective consciousness, one must utilize the tools of the White Magician. Self-mastery, alchemy, the shield of chastity, and a mind fortified with purity are essential for both individuals and the collective to challenge these hidden rulers.“
“Since the fall of Atlantis, the archons have seeded lust into the minds of humanity, using it as their ultimate weapon to anchor consciousness to lower vibrations and block collective ascension.”
