Topic: Polytheism

Carl Abrahamson explains that the "occult" literally means hidden, referring to ideas and behaviors that historically challenged the ruling hegemony. He argues that monotheistic power structures have suppressed magical techniques and radical philosophies to maintain control, whereas polytheistic cultures were traditionally more tolerant. This suppression forced experimental scientists, artists, and philosophers to keep their concepts underneath the surface to avoid persecution.

A comparison of global pantheons suggests that the Hebrew Bible originally acknowledged multiple deities, hidden behind the plural word "Elohim." Biblical passages, such as Genesis 35, are analyzed to show instances where one god refers to another, contradicting modern monotheistic interpretations. This plurality aligns with the traditions of the Babylonians, Sumerians, and Greeks, who all performed similar animal sacrifices to a variety of "gods."

Following his excommunication from the Mormon Church, Clyde Lewis explores the search for new belief systems and the concept of polytheism. He compares modern UFO sightings to biblical events involving Ezekiel and Saul of Tarsus, suggesting that "chariots of fire" have historically served as catalysts for religious change. He posits that a future "deus ex machina" event may be used to shift global religious agendas.
