About this listen
In The Desert Enigma: An Analysis of Occult Symbolism in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, author, blogger, and independent investigator Isaac "The IlluminatiWatcher" Weishaupt reveals the hidden occult messages found in Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist.
This analysis takes an honest look at the history of author Paulo Coelho and his degrees of separation from ceremonial magick, Aleister Crowley, Charles Manson, Kenneth Grant, Alejandro Jodorowsky, witchcraft, satanism, and more.
A review of themes and messages in The Alchemist is juxtaposed with actual occult teachings in an attempt to unravel the core belief system at play.
Learn how the New Age movement could be leading many astray and into the clutches of an Illuminati belief system that embraces the occult "evolution of consciousness", which seeks to open up a portal to other-dimensional entities and ultimately the Antichrist.

Story
The Dark Path is considered Isaac Weishaupt's magnum opus; a result of many years delving into the recesses of occult dogma from the approach of open-minded rationalism. Isaac's journey started with an attempt to separate religion from conspiracy theories, but the agenda clearly showed a connection. The question to be considered is if the agenda of the Illuminati overlaps with the tenets of the occult and whether or not there is an evil influence at play.

Story
Hidden Occult Messages of Alice in Wonderland is an analysis written to explore potential links between occult ideas and philosophies and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass stories. The term "occult" is Latin for "hidden" and Isaac Weishaupt has been researching the Illuminati and secret language in entertainment for several years, so what is "hidden" for most is obvious to him.

When is a story more than just a story? When does it become a myth? When it holds a piece of truth about our history, our morality, and the cosmos. Throughout history, humankind has used stories to explain the unknown. From the cycle of the moon to the changing of the seasons, tales about supernatural beings and events have served to account for the purpose of the cosmos. But mythology isn’t entirely fiction. These stories have been passed down for generations for a reason.

Another good example of Weishaupt’s excellent research and ability to translate into laymen’s terms. This guy doesn’t get enough credit. I read the alchemist and it was all gobbledegook to me without Isaac’s insight.

an eye opener to New Age ideas
im so glad Desert Enigma gave a bavkground of popular writer Paul Coelho's occult background. This is an eye opener to the occult connections of the New Age that most readers, who are not aware, become enamoured and influenced by a seemingly simple, innocent and heart-inspiring book like The Alchemist. This e-book reveals that the seductions of the dark arts and Satan are sooo subtle sometimes, we are drawn to them thru books like The Alchemist, by our weakness to improve ourselves, to become "enlightened" and to 'find" our true calling in life, not knowing we are lead down to a dangerous path of the occult. Thanks Isaac W. for this exposure!!
