TERMINOLOGY

 

Exoteric

Ethymological meaning "pertaining to the outside, external".

Esoteric

Ethymological meaning "belonging to an inner circle", "secret; intended to be communicated only to the initiated; profound".​

​​

Occult

Ethymological meaning "secret, not divulged", "to keep secret, conceal", "cover over, conceal".​

Arcane

Ethymological meaning "hidden, secret," 1540s, from Latin arcanus "secret, hidden, private, concealed," from arcere "to close up, enclose, contain," from arca "chest, box, place for safe-keeping," from PIE root *ark- "to hold, contain, guard" (source also of Greek arkos "defense," arkein "to ward off;" Armenian argel "obstacle;" Lithuanian raktas "key," rakinti "to shut, lock").

​​​

Alchemy

The term "alchemy" comes from the Arabic word "al-kīmiyā". The prefix "al-" is the Arabic definite article, meaning "the," and "kīmiyā" refers to the art of transformation, particularly in relation to substances. The root "kīmiyā" might be linked to the Greek word "khemia", meaning "the art of transmuting metals" or "the chemistry of Egypt." The term "khemia" is believed to come from the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt, "Kemet," meaning "black land," which refers to the fertile soil of the Nile Delta. Thus, the word "alchemy" essentially means "the art of transformation".

​​

Enlightenment

The word "enlightenment" comes from the Old French enlightenment, which is derived from the verb enlighten, meaning "to remove the dimness or blindness" (usually figurative, from one's eyes or heart), "supply with intellectual light","to give light to" or "to shed light upon."

The idea behind "enlighten" was to bring knowledge, understanding, or insight to someone, as if shedding light on something previously in the dark. The term "Enlightenment" also refers to a specific period in European history, the Age of Enlightenment (17th–18th centuries), when philosophical and intellectual thought centered on reason, science, and individual rights, often in opposition to tradition, superstition, and religious dogma. So, "enlightenment" ultimately has its roots in the metaphor of bringing light to darkness, but over time it has taken on deeper, more abstract meanings related to knowledge, spiritual awakening, and intellectual awakening.

Chaos​

The word chaos comes from the Ancient Greek word "khaos", which means "void", "abyss", or "gap." It referred to a primordial state of  formlessness from which the universe was created. Over time, the meaning of chaos evolved to refer more specifically to a state of complete disorder or confusion.

Apocalypse

Ethymological meaning "uncovering," "revelation," or "unveiling". The meaning of the word was distorted to turn people away from the hidden truths that would expose the Archon's power & control system.

Renaissance

Ethymological meaning from French: re- (again) + naissance (birth). Thus, "Renaissance" literally means "rebirth."

​Magic / Magick

The word magic has its roots in the Greek word magikos, which referred to the practices of magicians, or sorcerers. Magikos itself is derived from magos, meaning "magician" or "wise man."

​​

Pagan

Ethymological meaning "rural" or "rustic". This term was only used only after the Roman Catholic Church came into political power, to belitttle other forms of spirituality or religions. Paganism has nothing to do with satanism or witchcraft, morality or righteousness. Basically it just refers to any other religions other than the 3 Abrahamic religions.
