Magicians understand secret knowledge. If you want to understand what is wrong with the World study the psychology of people in power. Two books I would recommend is Powerholders and Power and Technology by David Kipnis. To understand the Shadow Magician Archetype and how Shadow Magicians rule the World with evil then I would recommend the book, King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Moore and Gillette. To understand what is going on in politics you need to study propaganda techniques. I would recommend you study the works of Edward Bernays, Gustave Le Bon, and Jacques Ellul. The scary thing about propaganda is it programs people's minds so they think they are thinking for themselves from their own conclusions when in fact they are just regurgitating propaganda positions.
You are not going in insane. You are just on the edge of taking the red pill.

Thanks for those.
OP, I believe in Magic. It is real it seems. I have not delved into any of it yet because I fear of opening a door I cannot close possibly. I am what you would call an armchair occultist? For those who do not know, Occultism is just the study of the hidden forces and laws of nature. Nothing about it is inherently "evil".

Interesting descriptions and thoughts there.
My studies and reading lead me to believe that the “old Gods” are what is termed (can’t remember the author and book to attribute this to) ‘creations of the created’.
In short that the pagan Gods were created by humans who assigned them specific traits and powers which however, does not make them any less real.
Throughout the course of tens and thousands of years these Gods had energy/attributions poured in to them by humans throughout history creating an energy reservoir of traits specific to that god which could then be channeled/requested.
In my opinion there is only one true God with a number of emanations.
