Anarchistbanjo's World

OAK Inner Circle is the name of my new/old repurposed blog dealing specifically with Druid oriented posts. I encourage people to link to that blog and subscribe if they are interested in following this new series.

To be truthful, I didn’t know what to do, rename my old blog or start totally new. Instead, I’m posting this for now. My intent is true to what I now plan for it, a type of modernized Druidry. But this is going to be different than any of the other blogs out there about Druids and pagans. This is going to be about the development of the soul and its powers within the original spirit of Druidry while incorporating the most advanced and modern techniques and concepts currently available. This is about the creation of a modern magickal Order and what I call Organic Gnosticism and the wisdom of life itself. This is about the creation of a magickal Order suitable for the new age of Gaia that has only now just begun and a group of people I have at times called the New Elves. I’ve simply called this group OAK or The Order and my life’s purpose has long centered around the creation of this group and its teachings. But I’ve never know how to proceed and this time I feel that it is time to proceed with these teachings and share what I have learned through a long life of study and personal experience.

We are now living in a time of social division where individual souls are being polarized with some being drawn to Gaia and all living things, drawn toward the sacredness of all life; or they are being drawn to live in their heads, chasing fantasy and delusion at the risk of losing all contact with objective reality. And it is at this time that the ancient teachings are once more being revealed in new ways. The ancient teachers have returned to lead the way for those who are drawn to them. It is time for society to choose between spirituality and love of life or fear and the cult of death. I can only speak for myself and I chose life!

In this first post I will share a bit about myself and my spiritual path as it has unfolded over the years. I share this for two reasons. The first is to demonstrate that I do try to speak from personal experience and personal understanding, saying things in my own way and not trying to copy or mimic some other path or tradition. The things that I want to share are for the most part much more simple and effective than anything other traditions offer in terms of the development of the soul and its powers.

The second point is to share that I have trained in various traditions and mystery schools and know my way around most of them. To this I will begin by sharing that I joined the Rosicrucian Order AMORC back in 1976 at the age of nineteen and studied their weekly monographs for over twenty two years, completing their degree studies and becoming an elder in that specific tradition. I remain a member in good standing of that Order as well as an off shoot of that called “The Traditional Martinist Order”. These two orders are however, mystical in nature, and oriented toward connection with the Cosmic Consciousness and not toward connection with Gaia and all living things. The first twenty five years of my life was devoted toward the spiritual pursuit of Cosmic Consciousness and mystical experiences. In 1991 I permanently crossed the Great Abyss in awareness and experienced the bliss of merging with the spiritual light of Source. This had a profound effect on me and the polarity of my soul shifted back downward to reconnect with Gaia and bring that light of Source back down to Gaia with me. So I completed the mystical path but the magickal path awaited me. Traditionally the soul needs to travel both paths before it can be complete.

This downward path was a twisting one that led through various occult and magical studies including being initiated into the 3rd degree of the OTO, The York Rite of Freemasonry including the Templars. But of everything above listed those were only paths which I had undergone physical initiations. My research and study went far beyond those to include:

The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

The Rite of Memphis and Mizraim

The Golden Dawn

The Aurum Solis

Gardnerian Wicca and Wicca in general

Dianetics and Scientology (of which I have the complete library of books.)

Sir Francis Bacon Research Trust

Neuro Linguistic Programing or NLP

Neotech (an offshoot of Ayn Rand objectivism)

The Healing Tau (books by Mantak Chia)

Tantra and Sexual Alchemy

The Works of Julius Evola

And I could round these influences off with a BS in psychology and membership in MENSA.

All I’m trying to do is demonstrate that the things I wish to share are the results of serious study and personal experience. At the beginning of this year (2021) I experienced the corresponding Gaia connection or etheric magickal connection that marked the culmination and completion of the magickal path and permanent transfer of awareness to my etheric body. After a lifetime of study and effort I had finally traveled both paths to their completion and that is when I found Druidism!

It is like spending my entire life traveling every possible path but the one that I really belonged to. Like Parcival doomed to travel all roads before he could find salvation, I had to travel all roads before my true path opened to me. A path for my heart and of my heart. The path of my most ancient ancestors. But this time I can travel this path with a modern understanding gained through hard work and personal experience. And that is what I can offer to those interested in this modern path of Druidry. A type of Druidry that is an octave above the old druidry, offering the full spectrum of mystery school teachings and empowerments that have marked the evolution of the mysteries through the ages. I’m not offering something old, but something entirely new and appropriate for today’s world. Something that is needed in today’s world!
