Gnosticism
[edit | edit source]
Gnosticism was an early christian jewish sect that believed that Yahweh is actually a heckin evil god called Demiurge, the great liar. In this worldview, the world is a spiritual prison, and you WILL achieve gnosis to reunite with the Supreme Being. It also divides people into 3 groups: hylics, psychics and pneumatics. It was made because jews were still seething that Christ turned out to be the Messiah so they tried making up another religion to reject him.
Alchemy
[edit | edit source]Contrary to popular belief, transmutation of lead to gold was more of a metaphor of how spiritual work can make you a better person or something (Well you see, Alchemy is technically real because scientists at CERN is able to turn lead atoms into gold by accelerating lead(208) ions at near light speed, which makes their magnetic field squashed and produce short-lived pulse of photons. Often, this triggers a process called electromagnetic dissociation, and when the ions pass by, the photons will interact with the nucleus thus exciting the oscillations of the nucleus internal structure, causing some nucleons (proton and neutrons) to be ejected, transmuting it into other elements, so that mean if it dissociates 2 neutrons and 3 protons, it would make Gold(203). It is sometimes used in NoFap communities to explain how never gooning will turn you into a Gigachad.
Hermeticism
[edit | edit source]An ancient belief system created by Hermes Trismegistus, who wrote the series of books called Hermetica. It was too big of a wall of text, so the byzantine editors wrote a tl;dr version called Corpus Hermeticum. There is also a XX-century book called Kybalion, best known for the Seven Hermetic Principles.
Freemasonry
[edit | edit source]Freemasonry is the world's oldest secular fraternal organization, evolving from medieval stonemason guilds into a society focused on charity, fellowship, and moral self-improvement. Guided by its core principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth, members progress through three traditional degrees using symbolic architectural tools like the Square and Compasses as moral allegories.

Neo-paganism
[edit | edit source]Neopaganism is a modern umbrella term for a diverse group of nature-centered religions that are inspired by or attempt to revive ancient pagan beliefs and practices from around the world. Followers, often called Neopagans or modern pagans, emphasize a deep respect for the Earth, celebrate seasonal cycles through holidays like the solstices, and often worship multiple deities, including both gods and goddesses. While it includes well-known traditions like Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry, there is no single holy book or central authority, meaning individual practices vary widely based on personal spiritual connection to the natural world.
