Twilight Language

by Michael A. Hoffman II

Twenty years after the publication in 2001 of his decoding text Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare , Michael Hoffman's much anticipated sequel appears in the 2021 Twilight Language , a book of radical disenchantment and Revelation of the Method, in an era of nearly universal occult initiation. Trekking America’s 'Psychic Highway' on the 42nd degree of north parallel latitude, then southwest to Aurora and Moab, east to “Little Egypt” and onward to the Pharaonic Thanatos meme, the Black Jack gambit, King-Kill/33(58), the Willard Factor, quantum physics, occult murders, the Rosicrucian Ludibrium, 007, and Pike, Parkland and Paddock, Hoffman confronts the reader with the magnum opus of the the reign of dead matter programmed through public rituals, civic magic, human sacrifice and the Twilight Language which, for the first time since antiquity, audaciously addresses the waking Group Mind, conveying a compelling projection of a supposedly inevitable future that the author describes as “a playbook of machine tyranny and dystopian darkness without end.”

“This writing is not a 'wakeup call.' At this stage in history the majority of the people of the West are too heavily programmed to cast off the arcana of Command. This text is intended as both an elucidation of The Process and a peregrination on the path upon which the masses have―of their own volition―embarked, in this terminal phase of a human alchemy operant for millennia, but which only in our time has obtained its ideal subjects.―Michael Hoffman

Reviews

[Andrew Gillsmith · Rating 5 out of 5]

The long awaited follow-up to Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare.

The best part of the book is a prolonged interview with Hoffman in which the interviewer (rather aggressively) prods him for more detail on his theories regarding twilight language, psychic driving, and ritual occultism. Hoffman's riffs are stunning for their sheer audacity and poetry.

While not quite reaching the heights of Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare this is nonetheless a worthy sequel.

[Russell Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This isn’t a sequel so much as a rehash. The people most likely to buy this book are also most likely to already know the stuff within. Hoffman even recaps World’s Most Dangerous Book which is another book you probably already know.

Hoffman would do well to study that book because Bain is an accessible writer. Hoffman not so much.

Twilight Language is described here in the abstract but Hoffman always backs away from concrete examples.

What we get here mostly is ghosts of good writings past. There’s even a resurrection of James Shelby Downard and King Kill 33 with a lot of ink spilt simply dredging up the past.

Then again, maybe you aren’t familiar with Secret Societies 1 or King Kill etc and this would be a good omnibus for you. But it’s not really a sequel in that it doesn’t bring a lot that’s new.

In keeping with Hoffman’s idiosyncratic and deeply personal style, this is a rich and dense book which violently leaps from one seemingly unrelated(though again, only apparently so, a fact of appearance which cannot be emphasized enough) topic to another(from quantum physics and cryptozoology to demonic numerology and theology) in an exploration both constituted by and overlaid with a frenetic, psychedelic, and darkly cryptic language that yields in the reader the following effect: that of a disorientating, psychically-fragmenting descent into an Escherian spiral, whose curves and unfoldings trace the occult pathway to a madness-inducing relevation concerning the hidden nature of reality and the universe itself.



Yet, in spite of these intricate abstractions(and the admittedly obtuse over-intellectualism and esotericism that one may expect t0 naturally accompany it), the book never loses sight of the key thread that weaves together all of Hoffman’s work: the thorough and painstaking exposé of an occult, world-ruling cabal which Hoffman refers to as the ‘Cryptocracy’(and which countless others have referred t0 as the ‘Illuminati’, ‘New World Order’, or any other term which now comprises a legendary appellation among the conspiracy theory canon), a cabal whose domination rapidly bends towards the arrival 0f an apocalyptic, post-human future; however, in this crucial; regard, it appears as if Hoffman does not necessarily consider the intentionality 0f the occult Cryptoctracy’s efforts(that is, whether or not it deliberately aims to bring about this grim future, a duality in regards to which both Hoffman and I would certainly fall on the former side of the equati0n) to be nearly as significant as the fact that the ideology which it propagates(and which constitutes it), carries such a future as its logical conclusion.


4/5 stars.

Stopped halfway. Boring. Repetitive. It doesn't really reach any actual conclusions about supposed occult phenomena. JFK, 9/11, Oklahoma City, ad nauseam. The best thing going for it is this theory of a grand initiation of the American public to occult symbols via his "twilight language" but it doesn't really go anywhere. It's a lot like his (much better) 'Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare', but suffers from the same issues of pointing out symbolism without actually presenting a compelling narrative for this data outside of bog standard "Elite Occultists are trying to bring forth the Antichrist" schlock every other historian of the occult does.
To the Christian reader, you're better off acknowledging Satan's control of this world without delving into the confusion of his symbols and cults. Christ wins in the end. Pray. Use the sacraments. Read Scripture, theologians and Church Fathers. Don't worry yourself with what the losers are doing.

The excellent second book of the two part series by Hoffman. This is a follow up to "Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare." I highly recommend this!!!
