What If Hogwarts Really Existed? Hint: It's about to.
The missing history that changes everything
If you missed part 1 where I did the big reveal that I’m a sex worker + what that means, you might better catch up with that first.
Most of the time when people ask me what I do I start with “So, I’m a priestess. How much do you know about the mystery schools?” I either get an excited smile or a blank face of unknowing plus a raised eyebrow of intrigued curiosity.
I’ll start this essay with our feminine ancestry of power first. Then I’ll lay out a couple more pieces of the puzzle about the mystery school for men that I’m founding.
There have always been impossibly powerful women who changed the course of history.
Pythagoras took that name as an homage to his teacher Themistoclea who was a pythia or seer. She was an oracle at a temple to Apollo. It’s said that no big decisions in Greece could be made without consulting her.
Aristoxenus asserts that Pythagoras derived the greater part of his ethical doctrines from Themistoclea, the priestess at Delphi.
– Diogenes Laërtius in his 3rd century CE biography of Pythagoras "Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers"
This is a crash course in the history that’s right under your nose… but you probably know nothing about.
Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, Socrates, and probably thousands more whose names you’ll never know were initiated into wisdom by priestesses and hierophants of a temple in Eleusis a few kilometers from Athens.
Those powerful women mixed a psychedelic brew called kykeon whose contents are still unknown.
The significance of this work cannot be overestimated. A whole culture was shaped by this twice-yearly festival. Western civilization traces its intellectual and ethical/spiritual roots back to here.
Pythagoras was so moved by this experience that he founded his own mystery school dedicated to discovering the language of math which could describe divinity itself.
The psychedelic ceremonies at Eleusis were so significant that the Athenian state would take you to trial if you blabbed. If found guilty you could be punished with death. The playwright Aeschylus was tried and found innocent, but you better bet initiates took this seriously. Can you imagine any government in the world protecting psychedelic work with capital crime provisions? It’s shocking in a good way, eh?
The philosophers and playwrights who shaped Western thought came to purge their fear of death here, and by all accounts – it worked. In Phaedrus, Plato speaks of “being permitted as initiates to the sight of perfect and simple and calm and happy apparitions, which we saw in the pure light, being ourselves pure and not entombed in this which we carry about with us and call the body, in which we are imprisoned like an oyster in its shell.”
Learning the history of the priestesses expanded what I thought I was capable of. Their examples show me that I can be much, much bigger than what I was taught was possible.
I’m beating this drum about mystery schools because there are still techniques are too powerful to talk about publicly on the internet. We need the modern incarnation of mystery schools, and anyways aren’t you excited to know a real-life Hogwarts is coming into existence?
We are unlocking and calibrating the extra-sensory gifts of our clients.
You can be much bigger than what you were taught also. Sexual energy + medicine + sound could be said another way – sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I don’t know any stronger brew to mutate a being. Is it scary? Oh hell yes, but that’s why we do it together.
My clients are by their own and their family’s accounts quite different people a year down the road. These men have experiences of things that sound like superpowers straight out of a Hollywood movie except you’ve never heard of these superpowers before.
One of my clients merged his consciousness with mine and looked at himself through my eyes. Another has spontaneous energetic “surgery” sessions during the night that release him from the pain of old trauma patterns and bring intense sexual pleasure.
One client’s teenage daughter reported that he hasn’t yelled at her in the two years since he started working with me. That’s quite a change from the dad she used to have. If you don’t think that’s a superpower worthy of a blockbuster, well then you’ve never lived with a teenager.
Are you called to this work?
I’m creating this group of advisors/supporters so I can have an inner circle to start to share the techniques I use with my 1:1 clients more widely. I need a group of alpha testers so I can see what’s working, what’s not, what needs adjustment, and what needs further integration support.
We will release some techniques and information publicly, but the most powerful things will stay only for the inner circle and 1:1 clients. That’s the way it has to be to do this work safely and of the highest integrity.
There’s no other mystery school on the planet that’s doing this work in this way. The team and I are writing the playbook from scratch.
My benefactors, I require your support at this time.
Until benefactors step up, the school won’t exist as anything other than a concept in Cris’s head. We need your financial support and participation. If your body and soul resound to this calling, let’s take the next step. If you’re curious to know more, please reply to this email. All replies go straight to my inbox, and I will respond to each one.
When you’re ready to buy the ticket to ride, drop some digits in my Stripe page so we can get this ride going.
Love from Oaxaca,
Cris and Team Dragon
Hey Chris. I just found your substack through Gordon Montgomery. I would love to learn more about the mystery school before joining if possible. I subscribed so you should have my email. I look forward to working with you!
This is absolutely badass – shoutout for doing this, excited to see where it goes!
