From the heights of celebrity to the corridors of tech power, the rationalist ideals of the modern age are being abandoned. In their place, we’re witnessing a revival of religion, mysticism, and the occult.
Why are figures like Kat Von D and Russell Brand converting to Catholicism? Why are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel funding esoteric research and invoking the arcane? Why are U.S. senators speaking in hushed tones about nonhuman intelligences under the cold glare of mainstream news cameras? This isn’t irony—it’s a crisis. In a world supposedly ruled by science and reason, belief is back with a vengeance.
Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung and the darker undercurrents of the digital age, this book decodes a culture turning inward—toward archetype, myth, and shadow. As the boundary between the rational and the irrational dissolves, Late-Stage Babylon offers a map for navigating the strange terrain of our post-secular future.
Tabitha (Angie) Baba-Ahmed, known as Angie Speaks, is a writer and video essayist. Her work has been featured in publications such as NewsWeek and Spiked Magazine and presently, she hosts the thought-provoking podcast Mystic and the Machine. Delving deeper into cultural matters, her video essays, available on her YouTube channel Depth Diaries, offer an analytical and depth-psychology-driven exploration of contemporary issues.
A smart, stylish, and strikingly resonant book.
From the insights of C.G. Jung to prophecies of Rudolf Steiner, from the reality behind today’s UFOlogy phenomenon to the truth about the coming Antichrist, get ready to be deprogrammed into the version of yourself that can make a difference.
It’s an absolute delight to witness Angie’s fierce, urgent, and personal activation of Jung’s most crucial observations. She shines a light on the West’s shadows and casts shadows on the West’s light. Fantastic.
