Watcher Watch: Hiding in Plain Sight

And you shall know the Watcher cultists by the trail of their idols.

You may not realize it but we began to be bombarded with cult entrainment on a mass scale back in the early 2000s. Not only cult entrainment, but also mass spellcraft of a kind never seen in my memory.

I struggled for years to figure out the meaning and messaging behind it all, but it wasn’t until I began to study the ancient Watchers - the fallen angels of ancient apocryphal texts - that I began to understand what was driving this phenomenon.

So let me wind back the clock to 2018 and we can see how the tell-tale signs of this cult began to publicly manifest…

The thing about Never-Ending Rituals is they never end. And you never know where and when the next phase of it is going to pop up.

This time the action is in a suburb of Athens, Greece.

A FB group member posted a story on a controversial statue the government has installed of a red, eagle-headed angel sculpture entitled "Phylax," meaning protector (same root word as “prophylactic”).

The mayor has defended the controversial installation, claiming the statue is a depiction of Talos, the ancient defender of Crete. Never mind that this is Athens, not Crete, and that the statue bears no resemblance at all to any Talos I could find.

And of course they've rolled out the religious groups to protest the statue, which only makes it all the more alluring and glamorous.

Watching a bunch of cranky old clerics marching around doesn't ever do anything but make supporting whatever they're protesting part of your duty as a postmodern citizen of the world.

I love the headlines about "religious fanatics" protesting Phylax. Oh, you sad, silly media people. You haven't a clue what religious fanaticism really is.

Believe me, the most hardbitten atheist will be begging to return to the comparatively-serene days of Calvin and Torquemada if and/or when that day dawns and we all find out.

Think Bill Nye in a hair shirt and a cilice, flagellating himself like a barrel full of Opus Dei Grand Masters.

OK, bad example; that's any night of the week. But you get my meaning.

Now, does "Phylax" remind you of anyone in particular?

Let me ask any of my more, say -- Jesus, I don't even know what term to use anymore -- mainstream-minded-type readers -- do you really think things like the Babylon Gate there are built on a lark?

Just to pass the time away? In the backyard of the theatre where the Academy Awards are held?

Do you think whatever government people are involved with this statue in Greece are putting up with all kinds of hassle from protesters and local church leaders because they enjoy the headaches?

And how liberal and enlightened do you think the folks who venerate these ancient Babylonian war gods actually are?

How humanitarian do you think a secret society powerful enough to wave these icons in our faces could really be? Because Babylonian war gods are exactly what we're looking at here. Or Watchers or Anunaki or Vegas or Pearly Dew-Drops Who Kept Not Their First Estate. Whatever. Same difference.

Then there's this Babylonian demon-- yes, the same one as in The Exorcist-- being installed at the Institute for Contemporary Arts in London.

Think about it, now; what does an ancient demon have to do with modern art?

Actually, quite a bit.

The artist who created Phylax also created this quite-striking Lucifer, installed in the chic Pralina bistro in Nicosia.

I believe all this ritualism has been and will be ushered in under the guise of art, so if you raise a peep about the face-smashingly blatant symbolism you'll not only be painted as a superstitious Troglodyte but also an uncultured Philistine.

Oh, it goes on from there; the same artist who sculpted Lucifer and Phylax also created this. Yeah. Look familiar?

It should.

Especially if you've seen this lookalike, titled The Arch of Hysteria, sculpted by Louise Bourgeois. Maybe you saw it in the Home Life section.

Oddly, The Arch of Hysteria was also featured on the Instagram page of another chic bistro, though the name of the place escapes me at the moment. Ajax or Borax or something?

Something like that.

The Phylax phugazi continues to grow more ridiculous by the day. No one can seem to get their stories straight.

First it was the Golden Dawn who pulled the Watcher off his Pedestal of Veneration, then it was changed to "far-rightists" when someone informed the hapless authorities that the Golden Dawn are actually anti-Christian neopagans.

Sounds like a psyop run by Sterling Archer.

Then the sculptor started walking back his claims Phylax was Talos, and I'm sorry, did he say Talos? Weird, he didn't remember actually saying Talos. Anyway, what he actually meant was that Phylax was kinda like Talos. Give or take.

And to think, all those dumb kulaks thought that a naked, bloody-red, winged giant with a snake for a head and neck was "satanic."

FFS SMGDH! You wish it was satanic!

The cover story was reportedly revised after a five-year old girl googled "Talos" on her mother's iPhone and pointed out the artwork didn't look like any Talos ever. Not even in that weird 80s anime about trolls and radiation.

Of course, Phylax is actually based on the Watchers of Apocryphal books like Enoch and the Testament of Amram:

(9) [...1 saw Watchers] (10) in my vision, the dream-vision. Two (men) were fighting over me, saying... (11) and holding a great contest over me. I asked them, ‘Who are you, that you are thus empo[wered over me?’

They answered me, ‘We] (12) [have been em]powered and rule over all mankind.’ They said to me, ‘Which of us do yo[u choose to rule (you)?’ I raised my eyes and looked.]

(13) [One] of them was terr[i]fying in his appearance, [like a serpent, [his] cl[oa]k many-colored yet very dark... (14) [And I looked again], and... in his appearance, his visage like a viper, and [wearing...] (15) [exceedingly, and all his eyes...]

But when I first saw Phylax, I couldn't help but think back on the "Event Horizon" art installation from a few years back, when naked male figures were placed around Madison Square in New York City. Some were placed on the street, some placed on rooftops, and the rest were given powers, principalities, thrones and dominion over the kingdoms of the Earth…
