You sound pretty superstitious to me, John Hardly. You do know that the world's religious scholars who have been blown away by the lost gospels found at Nag Hammadi, don't really qualify as believers in magic? That there was a concerted effort on the part of both hierarchical Judaism and hierarchical Christianity, to block the release of the lost gospels and other papyrus texts, because of the content--especially of the gospels of Sophia, Mary of Magdalene, and Thomas?

What the gnostics believed back in the day (ie when these texts are believed to have been written) was in an enlightened tradition of individual seeking of the divine (without religious intermediaries!) through self knowledge and awareness, not dogma and plutocracy. They also believed that the divine was both female and male. So you can imagine how much the church fathers of today are opposed to people taking up from where the gnostics left off.

I doubt the Judeo-Christian hierarchies will ever accept these gospels as part of their theology, despite all the evidence that suggests they be incorporated into the sacred texts (ie the Bible and the Torah) of the Judeo-Christian religious traditions.

Which, ironically, proves the point of the gnostics about ignorance being the only "sin".

So eventually, the people will begin to teach these gospels outside the church and temple, and people will be drawn to them instead of the conventional religions. I believe this knowledge, which was revealed to the world at the end of WWII, will eventually liberate us from the world's most dominant and most corrupt influences--the Judeo-Christian elite.

It's time.
