    Janson Wilde: From Sky Lords to Water Sages, The Forgotten Ties that Shape Civilization

    12/09/2026 | 1h 27 mins.
    What if the myths we’ve dismissed as metaphor were actually distorted memories of a time when gods — real, embodied, high-tech, non-human intelligences — walked among us?This isn’t a book about ancient aliens in the pop-culture sense. This is a serious deep dive into what the oldest texts on Earth actually say — and what they might reveal when we stop sanitizing them through modern religious lenses. From the cuneiform tablets of Sumer to the flood myths of India, the mystery cults of Egypt, and the fish symbolism of early Christianity, we trace one forgotten thread: a cosmic tension between authoritarian “sky lords” and rebellious “water sages” who brought knowledge to humanity — even when it was forbidden.

    We begin in Sumer, where the Anunnaki descend from above to control fate and labor, while a strange amphibious being named Oannes rises from the Persian Gulf to teach writing, agriculture, and science. These aren’t metaphors — the Sumerians described them as real, walking, talking, intervening beings. You’ll meet Enlil, the storm-god who wanted to exterminate us for being too noisy, and Enki, the water god who defied him by saving a human from a divine flood. The parallels to Prometheus, Noah, Matsya, Khidr, and even Quetzalcoatl are not coincidence — they’re echoes.In the flood myths of Mesopotamia, the Enuma Elish, and the Atrahasis Epic, we uncover a clear narrative: humans were created to serve, then nearly wiped out when we grew too numerous — only to be saved by a knowledge-bringer from the deep. That story repeats across cultures, always with the same strange duality: sky = control, water = wisdom. But here’s the twist: it never stops. We follow that pattern through to Greece’s Prometheus and Deucalion, India’s Matsya and Manu, Egypt’s Osiris and Nun, and even into early Christian Gnostic texts that hint at secret knowledge guarded by serpent or fish-like figures.This book draws bold lines between ancient Mesopotamian theology, suppressed wisdom traditions, and modern anomalous phenomena — yes, including UFOs and USOs.

    Could it be that what we call UAPs are the modern manifestation of the Anunnaki? And are the USOs we’re just now beginning to understand… the Oannes? If so, the myth wasn’t just a story. It was a record.Anunnaki, Oannes, and the Roots of Global Mythology is for seekers — not conspiracy theorists or blind believers, but those who want the dots connected with historical precision, philosophical clarity, and a dash of fire. You’ll see how the fish symbol survived thousands of years, how every major flood myth shares a structure, and how spiritual authority was systematically severed from its aquatic roots. You’ll confront the possibility that modern religions are the aftershock of an ancient war — not between good and evil, but between control and liberation.If humanity was created, it was not by accident. If we survived, it was not without rebellion. And if we’re still here, maybe it’s time to stop waiting for gods… and remember who they were — and why they came.

    Special Edition: Conference on Precession & Ancient Knowledge

    08/09/2026 | 1h 23 mins.
    CPAK brings together researchers, authors, explorers, and just curious people to reexamine history — a history that has generally been written by scholars who classify myth and folklore of a higher age as “fairytales.”Nowadays, evolution has been interpreted to remove the Creator, ignore cycles, or disallow a distant golden age, even though every great culture that ever existed tells us they are real. Hesiod in Greece, Confucius in China, the Egyptians, Sumerians, and people of the Indus Valley all spoke of a once beautiful epoch on ancient earth — and they said it would come again!CPAK is all about rediscovering the wisdom of the Ancients.

    September 25–27, 2026, Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, California.

    Stuart Mason: The Long Man of Wilmington Decode

    05/09/2026 | 1h 32 mins.
    The "mysterious" Long Man of Wilmington, one of Britain's most recognizable chalk figures, sits proudly on the steep slopes of Windover Hill in East Sussex.According to the Sussex Archaeological Society, the giant, depicted as a standing human figure holding two long staves dates back to at least 1710 when the surveyor John Rowley illustrated the figure.James Neal, who looks after the figure on behalf of this charity, says it is accompanied by "a lot of mystery"."No-one really knows the true origins of the outline of the figure. Some people think that it's Neolithic, some people think that it's Iron Age, Roman, the Druids claim him for their own as well," he told Secret Sussex. Neal said the figure was originally thought by some to be "an indentation in the side of the hill".This tallies up with Rowley's drawing which suggests the original figure was a shadow or indentation, rather than a solid line.Until the 19th Century when it was marked out in yellow bricks, the Long Man was only visible in certain light conditions.

    When asked why the Long Man is in this specific location, Neal says the true answer is unknown but the area does have "a strong relationship to the constellation of Orion".This enduring mystery feeds into the "spiritual undertones" which Neal says he feels characterises the entire area.Whether it was intended as a territorial marker, a religious symbol, a piece of early landscape art, or something else entirely is still unknown, and may never be.

    Jonathan Dickerson: Ibogaine and the Bicameral Mind

    02/09/2026 | 1h 32 mins.
    A comprehensive guide to ibogaine’s healing power, cultural roots, and clinical potential

    “A compelling call for further research into the potential of ibogaine therapy.”—Kirkus Reviews

    • Explores how ibogaine works, including how it boosts cellular function,
    increases neuroplasticity, and interrupts habitual behavior patterns and trauma

    • Discusses the ritual roots of iboga in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon

    • Shares case studies showing ibogaine’s healing effects for addiction recovery, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and Parkinson’s

    Ibogaine is an alkaloid derived from the iboga plant, native to Central Africa. Its healing effects are revered within the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon. International ibogaine expert Jonathan Dickinson explores how this psychedelic substance is now emerging as one of the most promising tools in neuro-regenerative medicine, addiction recovery, and treating trauma.

    Grounded in fieldwork and more than 15 years of clinical observation, Dickinson shows how ibogaine interacts with the body and mind, inducing a “bicameral state” of consciousness. This is a liminal mode of being in which ancient voices, archetypes, and internal guidance systems emerge, often catalyzing a profound reorganization of memory, identity, and behavior.

    He details how ibogaine boosts cellular function and shares impressive case studies to demonstrate how ibogaine has successfully treated PTSD, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, neuropathic pain, and multiple sclerosis.

    As a clinician scientist, Dickinson has helped a multitude of veterans with their post-traumatic mental health struggles. As a Bwiti initiate, he is able to present in this book a unique understanding and new framework for engaging with this transformational psychedelic medicine.

    Jonathan Dickinson is the CEO and cofounder of Ambio Life Sciences, the world leader in integrative ibogaine treatments, and is also the founder of Terragnosis. He has more than 15 years of experience in clinical care, traditional practice, and psychedelic research. He was initiated into a Dissoumba/Fang branch of Bwiti in 2014 and the Missoko tradition in 2022. He lives in Toronto, Canada.
