Anything out there about the Toltecs that isn’t actual anthropology, by anthropologists who hate Carlos for the horrible behavior of his followers (see wikipedia on the Toltecs for the attitude I mean), is almost surely nonsense created by bad men to steal from our community.
I mean, 99.99999999999999% sure it’s total ugly crap.
But I never saw what you mentioned. If it’s what I suspect, thank god I never saw it or I’d track him down and “review” his books on Amazon. Assuming he’s pretending to provide info on sorcery among the toltecs.
I have a “love/hate” thing going with Amazon on book reviews. They seem to have decided it’s ok for me to go after fake Castaneda topic books, but not ok to go after more traditional categories of fake magic, such as Yogananda’s book.
To show how ludicrous a “Toltec” sorcery book is, anthropologists can’t even fully agree on that clay figuring from the Olmecs dubbed, “the wrestler”, an obvious tensegrity move that Carlos even taught, being of a sorcerer.
Which works amazingly well!
Nor do anthropologists agree of the role of the chacmools, to the Toltecs.
So there’s no man out there with that kind of knowledge of them.
And no, Cleargreen is not a fraud. It’s just what happens when there’s no male leader.
In fact, it’s a magnificent less to us all in here!
But you’re too new to see it. You didn’t see the endless angry men trying to take over this subreddit, over the last 3 years. Without dedicated mods, I’d have to have packed up and considered this a failure, like my past attempts to save this sorcery from turning into nothing but pretending and fake magic franchises.
I was in fact just watching that 10 minutes ago, and stopped to type it up in the advanced chat!
So you got to connect to that. Makes no sense at the blue line, but all the sense in the world from the deep red zone onwards.
I was literally watching the flow of intent oriented towards that very topic.
Visibly.
Triggered by Cleargreens weird facilitator course announcement, and Cholita sawing our garden gate in half. That took a lot of work on her part!
So far she’s only halfway through it, but I can’t wait to see what use she makes of half a gate.
I was watching a flow of intent on why Cleargreen’s latest workshop announcement sounds more like witchcraft than the sorcery Carlos was teaching, and why there’s no trace of what we’re doing in here.
Which is trying to follow the instructions Carlos left us.
We aren’t “Rogue One” in here.
We’re just doing what Carlos told everyone to do.
Cleargreen is not. But that was expected by Carlos himself.
Carlos was desperate for a male leader at the end, and not a single one of his 3 choices, men he even wooed directly, had a trace of actual magical knowledge.
All 3 were frauds.
But he preferred them to no male leader at all. And maybe figured if they were around, the remaining women (Carol and the witches) would see to it that they started to learn the real thing.
Miles was perhaps negated from that role by Aerin. Or Carlos left him as a second chance for a cleargreen to continue on course.
There’s a lecture on this in the books, regarding how the men fall apart when their magical goals fail, but the women just continue on without all the fussing around.
And there’s the example of Florinda senior seeming to not take don Juan seriously.
And as a Russian witch once told me, based on common “witch wisdom” from her neck of the woods, when a woman’s kingdom is destroyed she just builds a new one from whatever she has.
Even saw a wooden gate in half, for a new usage.
The men panic and do self-destructive things.
