ARCANUM by Joshua Free is a unique literary contribution toward the harmonic unification of the knowledge that has received many names through the ages: magickal, occult, pseudo-scientific and now, “quantum.” The rise of technology and the recent “information age” has provided a wellspring of metaphysical lore, but it is not mutually synchronous with other knowledge or even other New Age systems, often due to vocabulary use. “New Agers” separate their sects and factions in the same manner as the scientists and the religious officials, and we (as a society) have not been progressing towards global unity. All of our developments and paradigms of truth continue to grow and prove themselves only when isolated within the system in which they were designed.
This innovative presentation requires that YOU have immediate access to supplemental information on any given facet of related knowledge. This is indicated in the text by the appearance of “links” or bold-faced type that prompts YOU to explore other specific parts of the book for additional clarification. This design allowed the author the ability to cover more topics in a tighter space without having to be unnecessarily repetitive in reprinting the more common aspects. This book is not to be mistaken as simply another “A-to-Z Encyclopedia of Magick” or a superficial discourse concerning “where science and magick meet.” In fact, this text was not written for the true beginner in mind and its scope surpasses practical magick alone.
ARCANUM has no specific starting point, allowing it to be integrated into any personal background or developmental stage. With sufficient time, study and practice, the seeker works through the entire body of knowledge, beginning first with the facets of individual fancy and inclination, and then continuing on with the remainder of the entangled material, which you will find to be coherently interconnected, not simply clumped together to make a massive series. By presenting this primer of a new standard model of the mysteries, any individual, couple or study group can find the ease of using this global” system in spite of prior personal religious, spiritual, philosophical, scientific and academic accomplishments.
Throughout history a uniquely separate class of individual has existed on the edges of known reality, bearing a great magickal secret. Some have come to call these folk “wizards” or “mystics,” the possessors of the “hidden” or “occult” knowledge of life and the universe. They alone bring the obscure and “invisible” properties of existence into the light, albeit rarely upholding contemporary norms. And while there has been an observable increase of interest in such topics progressively in recent past, the walls of the Ancient Mystery School have far from collapsed.
Until now…
At the dawn of a new age, the perceptive seeker discovers a barrier…
The common New Age metaphysicist cannot hope to gain a better understanding of their own consciousness and abilities of thought power until a more complete paradigm is embraced. Consequently, physicists and physical scientists are quickly reaching a glass ceiling in microscopic observation and particle acceleration experiments that exclude all metaphysical facets. In the past, monumental developments have occurred via some form of “unifying framework” (such as the interconnection between the cosmos and the Earth Planet understood in models of elements and forces). It seems self-evident that the only solution to our developmental problems as a society is going to be derived from a unification of knowledge or “bridge in understanding” between all physical and metaphysical paradigms. This is exactly what the wizards and mystics have known for thousands of years; That all physical aspects have metaphysical properties and visa versa.
Hidden within these pages is the true story of the development of civilization, human existence, the traditions and “real magick” adopted by individual hermits, orders and societies at each stage. Unlike many other A-to-Z styled works, ARCANUM is not simply a collection of vocabulary, history and arbitrary biographies, nor is it composed of randomly dispersed pseudo-psychological techniques and spirito-magickal puffery that often runs rampant in the mainstream New Age. Here YOU will follow a practical and experimental journey from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt through the traditions of “magickal” races and bloodlines of the Europeans. YOU will observe the loss of Truth experienced globally during the Dark Ages, which secret societies have so strongly sought to maintain. Finally, YOU will arrive at the forefront of current developments in “quantum theory” and “unifying fields,” new paradigms reviving old philosophies with new terminology, by which the modern “wizard” can better understand the effects of metaphysical “thought magick” on the physical world and the relationship between the resonance of external-environmental energies and the internal self.
ARCANUM seeks to challenge seekers from any path (whether religious, mystical or scientific) to “shed their skin” for a moment, to release the Ego and their layers of belief and sensory experience in order to discover the antinomian Truth that exists outside the boundaries of all defined systems or paradigms. Rather than take the approach that all systems are “just wrong,” Joshua Free explains that it is simply our “beliefs” concerning each facet or level of reality that are in need of revision. Drawing from diverse sources and traditions, the coherent highlights are presented that can unite the knowledge of varying systems. It validates their comprehensive efforts rather than minimizes them.
ARCANUM prompts all people to embrace their intuition in the light of Truth. For example, during the last century, anthropologists revealed startling confirmations concerning the ancient Mesopotamians and their influence on human genetics and civilization. Sumerian, Babylonian and Akkadian tablets (unavailable to seekers a century ago) now reveal a more ancient source to the Genesis of mankind that was presented to the Hebrew by Moses. The Anunnaki-Nephilim lore of the same geographic region provides the source of angelic mysticism, obscure races of elemental beings and the European faerie folk. The lore preserved by diverse traditions and secret societies show evidence for the belief in specific dynasties and bloodlines of “real” wizards and elves, a folk that have since passed into realms of fantasy and imagination. And these are just a few of the 1,000 facets of knowledge explored within these pages.
ARCANUM is written in simple terms, but it is actually a superior tome of information that surpasses the efforts of other recent “A-to-Z Encyclopedias” or fluffy beginner-oriented texts. It draws from many diverse avenues of knowledge that allows anyone interested in metaphysics to explore it on their own terms, beginning first with the tenets that they are drawn to by personal inclination and then eventually discovering all of the interconnected lore by way of bold-faced links.
The book provides a complete structure and standard by which future developments in this field will have to be rethought to include the metaphysical, psychological, quantum and spiritual significance of meditation, visualization, ritual magick, ceremonial tools, natural magick (herb & trees), “spellcraft,” energy work, auras, chakras, resonant energy in environments, sacred sexuality, the philosophy of knowledge and morals, philosophical and laboratory metaphysics, the contributions of secret societies and magickal organizations, divination, prophecy, skrying, astral work, astrophysics, the interpretations of astrological symbolism, the influence of planets, the symbolism of celestial mythology (Sky Gods), the historical background to Christianity, the effects of the Church through the Dark Ages, the heredity of Dragon Kings, incarnated elemental beings, quantum physics, unified fields, superstrings (string theory) and other waves and particles of energy. Provided within are all the tools YOU, the seeker, require to discover the ARCANUM of life for YOURSELF.

This self-contained, self-guiding controversially enlightening anthology provides a harmonic balance between philosophy and science, physics and metaphysics and the theoretical and the practical, including main tenets, key points and relevant experiments, exercises, rites and rituals. Thousands of man-hours have been spent over the course of thirteen years to make these materials available and practical for a time and in a form when they might be best received. Every generation has bought into a “spiritual pipedream” in some form or another while simultaneously there exists a select few who are using a higher realization for real fulfillment, both in physical success and spiritual advancement…

The Akkadian Dynasty of Sargon began in northern Mesopotamia – in the land of Akkad. Although their territory and influence was of only tribal significance during the early rise of the Sumerians proper, but when Sargon of Akkad used his military to unify the “two lands” of Mesopotamia, he established the first post-Sumerian unified kingdom empire in the world – indeed, for the first time, the lands of Akkad and Sumer were governed from a single capital: Sargon’s city of Agade (the city of Akkad in the land of Akkad, like Babylon in Babylonia or New York, New York), a city named for the word “unity” in Akkadian language.
The post-Sumerian Babylonian-Akkadian literary tradition shifts its emphasis from Enlilite World Order to MARDUK and the Mardukite Legacy and replaces the old paradigm altogether. The identities of the Supernal Trinity (ANU, ENLIL and ENKI) in addition to the Anunnaki pantheon and already established elements remain, but the emphasis is now on the ‘younger generation’ of Anunnaki represented in BABYLON.
