Episode 177: The Ancient Ones

JOSHUA FREE began participating in his planetary mission by receiving ‘unofficial’ personal apprenticeships from individual mentors who were, themselves, members (active or preexisting) of the Illuminati, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Catholic Mystics, Christian Gnostics, Buddhist Monks, Freezoners (Scientology), the Dragon Court / Dragon Society, Theosophical Society, Aurum Solis, the GD (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis) and/or the A.A. (Argentium Astrum) among others.

At the age of 12, JOSHUA FREE was officially initiated into the Pheryllt Druid tradition (based on the work of Douglas Monroe) and then began leading his own Druid-styled organization at 13. The following year he was installed to the ‘third degree’ of Celtic Wicca. In the mid-1990′s, he was even heralded the youngest initiate to join the “Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids” (OBOD), a large international organization based in England that New Age (Druidic) authors frequently cite.

 JOSHUA FREE quickly became a controversial underground occult figure (as author Merlyn Stone) that advocated radically diverse approaches to Druidic Philosophy & Metaphysics — including active participation with the New Forest “Pheryllt” group of his primary Druidic mentor, Douglas Monroe, for which he was unseated from all positions (particularly OBOD) and disappeared from public view — all while still a teenager in the 1990’s.
